Product details
Overview
LTC3265HFE#TRPBF 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. It supports up to 50mA per rail, operates with ceramic capacitors only, and features programmable 50kHz–500kHz switching frequency and 135µA quiescent current in Burst Mode® with both LDOs active.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3265HFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3265HFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3265HFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include bipolar output noise performance (<100µVRMS), thermal robustness (–40°C to 150°C junction), dual independent enable control (EN+/EN–), and compatibility with asymmetric/symmetric voltage generation via VIN_N routing.
Technical Context
The LTC3265HFE#TRPBF implements two independent charge pump topologies: a boost stage (VOUT+ = 2•VIN_P or 0.94•2•VIN_P) and an inverting stage (VOUT– = –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 with 1.2V internal references and adjustable outputs via external resistor dividers.
Its architecture enables precise bipolar bias generation without transformers or inductors: VOUT+ powers LDO+, VOUT– powers LDO–, and VIN_N can be tied to either VIN_P (asymmetric) or VOUT+ (symmetric) to set final polarity relationships. Short-circuit protection limits VOUT+ to 220mA and VOUT– to 160mA; thermal shutdown activates at ~175°C.
Key Specifications

| Quiescent Current (Burst) | 135µA with both LDOs on - critical for battery-powered instrumentation and always-on monitoring |
| Oscillator Frequency | 50kHz to 500kHz (RT-programmable) - balances EMI, efficiency, and output impedance (ROL) |
| Output Noise | 100µVRMS (with 100nF BYP+/- caps) - meets low-noise analog signal chain requirements |

| VOUT+ (Pin 20) | Boost charge pump output | Provides unregulated 2•VIN_P (constant freq.) or 0.94•2•VIN_P (Burst Mode); feeds LDO+ |
| GND (Pin 21, Exposed Pad) | Power and signal ground | Thermal and electrical reference; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for rated θJA and functionality |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3265HFE#TRPBF has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of 150°C, as confirmed by its H-grade temperature rating (–40°C to 150°C). Thermal shutdown activates at approximately 175°C to protect the device during overload conditions, but continuous operation above 150°C may degrade long-term reliability. The exposed pad (Pin 21) must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to achieve the specified θJA of 38°C/W and maintain safe thermal performance for LTC3265HFE#TRPBF.
Can the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF generate symmetric ±15V outputs from a 12V input?
Yes, the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF can generate symmetric ±15V outputs from a 12V input. Tie VIN_N to VOUT+ (which produces ~24V in constant-frequency mode), resulting in VOUT– ≈ –24V; then configure the LDO– to regulate to –15V using its ADJ– resistor divider. Simultaneously, set LDO+ to +15V via ADJ+. This configuration is explicitly validated in the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF typical application circuit (Figure 3265 TA01b) and leverages the device's ability to route VIN_N to VOUT+ for symmetric bipolar generation.
How does the MODE pin affect output ripple and efficiency in the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF?
The MODE pin selects between Burst Mode® (high) and constant-frequency operation (low) in the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF. In Burst Mode®, the charge pumps cycle intermittently to maintain regulation, reducing quiescent current to 135µA but increasing output ripple due to hysteretic control. In constant-frequency mode, ripple is minimized (especially with proper BYP+ and BYP– capacitors), but quiescent current rises to ~1–2mA depending on RT setting and load. Designers choose MODE based on the trade-off between light-load efficiency and noise-sensitive performance requirements for LTC3265HFE#TRPBF.
What is the purpose of the RT pin on the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF, and how is it configured?
The RT pin on the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF programs the charge pump switching frequency from 50kHz to 500kHz via an external resistor to GND. The pin regulates to 1.2V internally, so frequency is determined by I = 1.2V / RRT. For example, a 200kΩ resistor yields ~500kHz, while a 1.2MΩ resistor yields ~50kHz. Grounding RT defaults to 500kHz. This adjustment allows optimization of EMI, output impedance (ROL), and light-load efficiency - and is recommended to be fixed at GND for Burst Mode® operation to minimize ROL and improve wake-up response in LTC3265HFE#TRPBF.
Does the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF require external diodes or inductors for operation?
No, the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF requires no external diodes or inductors. It uses switched-capacitor (charge pump) topology for both boost and inverting functions, relying solely on external ceramic flying capacitors (CBST+, CBST–, CINV+, CINV–) and output storage capacitors. This eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and simplifies layout - a core design advantage confirmed in the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF block diagram and typical application schematics. All regulation and protection are fully integrated within the LTC3265HFE#TRPBF IC.
