Product details
Overview
LTC3265HFE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-noise dual-polarity power supply IC integrating a boost charge pump, inverting charge pump, and two post-regulating LDOs - delivering ±15V outputs from a single 12V input with <100µVRMS output noise. It supports independent 4.5–16V (VIN_P) and 4.5–32V (VIN_N) inputs, delivers up to 50mA per LDO, and operates in Burst Mode (135µA quiescent) or programmable 50–500kHz constant-frequency mode. Used in precision instrumentation biasing and bipolar analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3265HFE#PBF datasheet, LTC3265HFE#PBF pinout, LTC3265HFE#PBF application, or LTC3265HFE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include bipolar LDO output adjustability, charge pump mode control (Burst vs. constant frequency), thermal performance in TSSOP-20 at 150°C junction, and compatibility with ceramic capacitors for stability without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LTC3265HFE#PBF implements two independent switched-capacitor charge pumps - one boosting VIN_P to ~2×VIN_P (constant freq.) or 0.94×2×VIN_P (Burst), the other inverting VIN_N to –VIN_N or –0.94×VIN_N - each feeding a dedicated low-noise linear regulator. The LDO+ and LDO– regulators feature 1.2V reference pins (ADJ+/ADJ–), dropout voltages of 400–800mV (LDO+) and 200–500mV (LDO–), and load/line regulation better than 0.04mV/V and 0.03mV/mA.
Its MODE pin selects between Burst Mode (hysteretic regulation, ultra-low IQ) and constant-frequency operation (fixed or RT-programmable 50–500kHz); EN+ and EN– independently enable boost/LDO+ and inverting/LDO– chains; RT sets oscillator frequency; BYP+/BYP– accept 100nF bypass caps to reduce reference noise; and GND-exposed pad ensures thermal integrity in high-power operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN_P Range | 4.5V to 16V - powers boost pump and LDO+; enables single-supply generation of +15V from 12V rail. |
| VIN_N Range | 4.5V to 32V - powers inverting pump and LDO–; supports asymmetric negative rails up to –32V. |
| LDO Output Current | ±50mA max - sufficient for op-amp biasing, ADC/DAC reference supplies, and sensor excitation circuits. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst) | 135µA with both LDOs active - enables battery-powered instrumentation with multi-week standby life. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 50kHz to 500kHz (RT-programmable) - trade-off between ripple (lower f = higher ROL) and EMI filtering ease. |
| LDO Output Noise | 100µVRMS (CBYP± = 100nF) - meets low-noise requirements for 16-bit+ data converters and precision amplifiers. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive sensors, industrial PLC modules, and high-temp test equipment. |
Pinout & Package

| 16 (ADJ+) | LDO+ Feedback Input | Servos to +1.200V; sets LDO+ output via resistor divider (e.g., VLDO+ = 1.2V × (R1/R2 + 1)). |
| 17 (LDO+) | Positive LDO Output | Delivers regulated positive voltage; requires ≥2µF low-ESR ceramic cap to ground for stability. |
| 18 (VOUT+) | Boost Pump Output | Drives LDO+ input; regulated to 2×VIN_P (constant freq.) or 0.94×2×VIN_P (Burst Mode). |
| 19 (CINV+) | Inverting Pump Flying Cap (–) | Negative terminal connection for inverting pump flying capacitor; pairs with CINV–. |
| 20 (VIN_N) | Inverting Pump Input Supply | Input for inverting stage; can be tied to VIN_P (asymmetric) or VOUT+ (symmetric ± outputs). |
| 21 (GND) | Ground / Exposed Thermal Pad | Primary ground return and thermal path; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for θJA = 38°C/W rating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-polarity regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3265EFE#PBF | Same architecture and pinout; rated for –40°C to +125°C junction (vs. +150°C for H-grade). | Suitable for commercial/industrial ambient (≤85°C), not extended-temperature automotive or downhole use. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 150°C operation; identical layout and firmware. |
| MAX17222ATB+ | Single-output boost + inverter IC; no integrated LDOs - requires external regulators for low-noise outputs. | Higher system-level noise and component count; lacks LDO post-regulation, soft-start, and thermal protection. | Choose only if board space permits discrete LDOs and noise budget allows >500µVRMS output. |
Compared with LT3265EFE#PBF, LTC3265HFE#PBF offers extended temperature qualification critical for under-hood or industrial edge nodes, while MAX17222ATB+ lacks integrated LDOs and requires additional components to match noise and regulation performance - making LTC3265HFE#PBF the optimal choice for compact, high-reliability bipolar supply designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for LTC3265HFE#PBF?
The LTC3265HFE#PBF is specified for continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature, with thermal shutdown activating above ~175°C. Its TSSOP-20 package features an exposed GND pad (Pin 21) that must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to maintain θJA = 38°C/W and ensure reliable operation at rated temperature. Derating is recommended above 125°C for extended lifetime.
How does the MODE pin affect LTC3265HFE#PBF's output noise and efficiency?
When MODE = high, LTC3265HFE#PBF enters Burst Mode: charge pumps regulate VOUT± hysteretically and sleep between bursts, achieving 135µA quiescent current but increasing output ripple. When MODE = low, it operates at constant frequency (50–500kHz), delivering lower ripple and higher efficiency at medium-to-heavy loads - ideal for noise-sensitive ADC/DAC applications.
Can LTC3265HFE#PBF generate symmetric ±15V outputs from a 12V input?
Yes. Tie VIN_N to VOUT+ (not VIN_P), configure ADJ+ and ADJ– with matched resistor dividers, and set MODE = low for constant-frequency operation. This yields VOUT+ ≈ 2×12V = 24V, VOUT– ≈ –24V, and LDO+ / LDO– outputs precisely trimmed to ±15V - verified in the datasheet's Typical Application (TA01b) with 12V input and ±15V outputs.
What capacitor values are required for stable operation of LTC3265HFE#PBF?
LTC3265HFE#PBF requires: 10µF ceramic input caps on VIN_P and VIN_N; 1µF ceramic flying caps on CBST± and CINV±; ≥2µF low-ESR ceramic output caps on LDO+ and LDO–; and optional 100nF bypass caps on BYP+ and BYP–. All capacitors must be X7R/X5R ceramics rated for ≥16V (positive side) or ≥35V (negative side) to ensure stability across temperature and voltage.
Does LTC3265HFE#PBF support independent enable control of its positive and negative rails?
Yes. LTC3265HFE#PBF provides separate EN+ and EN– logic inputs: EN+ controls the boost pump and LDO+, while EN– controls the inverting pump and LDO–. This allows independent sequencing - e.g., powering up LDO+ first to bias control circuitry before enabling the negative rail - and fault containment if one rail fails.
