Product details
Overview
LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage, low-noise dual-polarity power supply IC integrating a boost charge pump, inverting charge pump, and two post-regulating LDOs. It delivers ±15V outputs from a single 12V input, supports up to 50mA per rail, operates with 135µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, and features programmable 50kHz–500kHz switching frequency - used in precision instrumentation bias generation and bipolar analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF pinout, LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF application, or LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range, 18-lead DFN (5mm × 3mm) package with exposed GND pad, dual LDO output adjustability via external resistors, and independent enable/control of boost/inverting pumps and regulators.
Technical Context
The LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF implements two independent charge pump topologies: a boost pump (VIN_P → VOUT+, regulated to 2·VIN_P or 0.94·2·VIN_P) and an inverting pump (VIN_N → VOUT–, regulated to –VIN_N or –0.94·VIN_N), each selectable between constant-frequency (50–500kHz) and Burst Mode® operation via the MODE pin. Both pumps feed dedicated low-noise LDOs (LDO+, LDO–) with 1.2V internal references and ADJ± feedback inputs.
Its control architecture separates enable logic (EN+, EN–), frequency programming (RT), and mode selection (MODE), enabling flexible sequencing and load-dependent efficiency optimization. The device integrates soft-start, short-circuit protection (220mA/160mA limits), thermal shutdown (~175°C), and stable ceramic-capacitor operation - all within a thermally enhanced 18-lead DFN package rated for 150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN_P Range | 4.5V to 16V - defines minimum system input for positive rail generation; requires ≥4.5V to initiate boost pump operation. |
| VIN_N Range | 4.5V to 32V - enables wide-range negative rail generation; supports asymmetric configurations (e.g., VIN_N = VIN_P or VIN_N = VOUT+). |
| LDO Output Current | ±50mA max - sufficient for driving op-amp bias networks, ADC/DAC reference buffers, and sensor excitation circuits without external pass devices. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst) | 135µA with both LDOs on - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-powered instrumentation and portable test equipment. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 50kHz to 500kHz (RT-programmable) - allows trade-off between EMI suppression (lower f) and output impedance (higher f reduces ROL). |
| LDO Dropout Voltage | 400mV (LDO+), 200mV (LDO–) at full load - ensures regulation under tight headroom conditions, e.g., generating ±12V from 13.8V automotive supply. |
| Output Noise | 100µVRMS (with 100nF BYP+/- caps) - meets low-noise requirements for precision signal chains, audio preamps, and metrology-grade converters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 18-lead (5mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) plastic DFN with exposed GND pad (Pin 19), rated for –40°C to +150°C junction temperature. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN_P (Pin 3) | Boost pump input supply | Primary input for positive rail generation; must be bypassed with low-ESR ceramic capacitor (≥10µF) near pin. |
| VIN_N (Pin 11) | Inverting pump input supply | Selectable connection point: tied to VIN_P for asymmetric outputs or to VOUT+ for symmetric ± rails. |
| VOUT+ (Pin 18) | Boost pump output | Intermediate 2×VIN_P (or 0.94×2×VIN_P) rail feeding LDO+; requires ≥10µF storage capacitance. |
| VOUT– (Pin 8) | Inverting pump output | Intermediate –VIN_N (or –0.94×VIN_N) rail feeding LDO–; requires ≥10µF storage capacitance. |
| LDO+ (Pin 17) | Positive LDO output | Final regulated positive output (1.2V–32V); requires ≥2µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| LDO– (Pin 7) | Negative LDO output | Final regulated negative output (–32V to –1.2V); requires ≥2µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| ADJ+ (Pin 16) | LDO+ feedback reference | Servos to 1.200V (±2%); sets LDO+ output voltage via resistor divider (R1/R2) to GND. |
| ADJ– (Pin 6) | LDO– feedback reference | Servos to –1.200V (±2%); sets LDO– output voltage via resistor divider (R1/R2) to GND. |
| EN+ (Pin 13) | Positive pump/LDO enable | Logic-high enables boost pump and LDO+; internal pull-down ensures safe default-off state. |
| EN– (Pin 4) | Negative pump/LDO enable | Logic-high enables inverting pump and LDO–; independent control enables staggered startup. |
| MODE (Pin 14) | Charge pump operating mode | High = Burst Mode® (low IQ, higher ripple); Low = constant-frequency (lower ripple, higher IQ). |
| RT (Pin 12) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor to GND programs fOSC from 50kHz to 500kHz; GND = 500kHz default. |
| BYP+ (Pin 15) | LDO+ reference bypass | Connect 100nF cap to GND to reduce LDO+ output noise; floating if unused. |
| BYP– (Pin 5) | LDO– reference bypass | Connect 100nF cap to GND to reduce LDO– output noise; floating if unused. |
| GND (Pin 19) | Power and signal ground | Exposed thermal pad - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for θJA = 42°C/W and functional integrity. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3261IDHC#TRPBF | Single-output (negative-only) inverting charge pump + LDO; no boost pump or positive LDO; 16-lead DFN; 125°C max junction temp. | Suitable only for negative-rail generation; cannot replace LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF in dual-rail systems without adding external boost stage. | Select when only negative bias is needed and lower cost/size is prioritized over dual-rail integration. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for the LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF?
The LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF is specified for operation up to +150°C junction temperature, confirmed by its H-grade temperature rating in the order information table. This exceeds the 125°C limit of standard E/I-grade variants and enables use in high-ambient environments such as uncooled industrial control cabinets or under-hood automotive test equipment where thermal derating must be minimized.
Can the LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF generate symmetric ±15V outputs from a 12V input?
Yes, the LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF can generate symmetric ±15V outputs from a 12V input: tie VIN_N to VOUT+ so the inverting pump produces –VOUT+, then configure LDO+ and LDO– with identical resistor dividers to set VLDO+ = +15V and VLDO– = –15V. The typical application diagram (TA01b) explicitly demonstrates this configuration with 12V input and ±15V outputs.
How does the MODE pin affect output ripple and efficiency in the LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF?
When MODE = high, the LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF enters Burst Mode®, reducing quiescent current to 135µA but increasing output ripple due to hysteretic regulation; when MODE = low, it operates at constant frequency (e.g., 500kHz), yielding lower ripple but higher IQ (~1–2mA). This trade-off allows designers to optimize for battery life (Burst) or signal integrity (constant frequency) based on load conditions.
What external components are mandatory for stable operation of the LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF?
Mandatory external components for the LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF include: (1) ≥10µF ceramic input capacitors on VIN_P and VIN_N; (2) ≥10µF ceramic storage capacitors on VOUT+ and VOUT–; (3) ≥2µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitors on LDO+ and LDO–; (4) flying capacitors (1µF ceramic) on CBST± and CINV±; and (5) resistor dividers on ADJ± for output voltage setting. Omitting any compromises regulation or stability.
Is the exposed pad on the LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF package electrically connected and how must it be handled?
Yes, the exposed pad (Pin 19) on the LTC3265HDHC#TRPBF is electrically connected to GND and must be soldered to the PCB ground plane. Per the datasheet, this is required for both functional integrity and thermal performance (θJA = 42°C/W). Leaving it unconnected degrades thermal dissipation, risks malfunction, and voids the 150°C junction temperature rating.
