Product details
Overview
LTC3265IFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-noise dual-polarity power supply IC integrating a boost charge pump, an inverting charge pump, and two post-regulating LDOs - one positive (LDO+) and one negative (LDO–). It delivers up to 50mA per rail, supports input ranges of 4.5V–16V (VIN_P) and 4.5V–32V (VIN_N), operates in Burst Mode with just 135µA quiescent current, and targets precision analog biasing in instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3265IFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3265IFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3265IFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3265IFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include bipolar output programmability, 100µVRMS LDO noise performance, 50kHz–500kHz oscillator frequency tuning via RT resistor, ±1.2V internal reference accuracy, and thermal protection with short-circuit limiting on both VOUT+ and VOUT– outputs.
Technical Context
The LTC3265IFE#TRPBF implements dual independent charge pump architectures: a boost stage (S1–S4 switches) generating up to 2×VIN_P, and an inverting stage (S5–S8) producing –VIN_N or –0.94×VIN_N depending on MODE state. Each pump feeds a dedicated low-dropout linear regulator with adjustable output via external resistor dividers referenced to precise ±1.200V internal references.
Burst Mode operation uses hysteretic control to regulate VOUT+ at 0.94×2×VIN_P and VOUT– at –0.94×VIN_N while reducing quiescent current to 135µA; constant-frequency mode fixes switching at 500kHz (RT = GND) or 50kHz–500kHz (RT biased), delivering exact 2×VIN_P and –VIN_N outputs with lower ripple but higher IQ.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN_P Range | 4.5V to 16V - defines minimum system input for positive rail generation |
| VIN_N Range | 4.5V to 32V - enables wide-range negative rail sourcing, e.g., from 12V or 24V bus |
| LDO Output Current | ±50mA - sufficient for powering op-amps, ADC/DAC reference buffers, and sensor signal chains |
| Output Noise | 100µVRMS - measured with 100nF BYP+ and BYP– capacitors; critical for high-resolution analog circuits |
| Quiescent Current (Burst) | 135µA with both LDOs enabled - enables battery-powered or ultra-low-power instrumentation |
| Oscillator Frequency | 50kHz to 500kHz (RT-programmable) - trade-off between efficiency, EMI, and output impedance |
| Droop Voltage (LDO+) | 400mV at 50mA - determines minimum headroom needed between VOUT+ and VLDO+ |
| Short-Circuit Limit (VOUT+) | 220mA - protects flying capacitors and PCB traces during fault conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead plastic TSSOP (FE package), 0.65mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (Pin 21 = GND), rated θJA = 38°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT+ | Boost charge pump output | Drives LDO+; regulated to 2×VIN_P (constant freq.) or 0.94×2×VIN_P (Burst) |
| LDO+ | Positive LDO output | Programmable rail (1.2V–32V); requires ≥2µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND |
| ADJ+ | LDO+ feedback node | Servos to +1.200V reference; sets output voltage via R1/R2 divider |
| BYP+ | LDO+ reference bypass | Connect 100nF cap to GND to reduce output noise by filtering internal 1.2V reference |
| MODE | Charge pump operating mode select | High = Burst Mode (low IQ, higher ripple); Low = constant-frequency (lower ripple, higher IQ) |
| EN+ | Enable for boost pump & LDO+ | Logic high enables both stages; internal pull-down ensures safe default-off state |
| RT | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets frequency from 50kHz to 500kHz; GND = 500kHz fixed |
| VIN_N | Inverting pump input | Can be tied to VIN_P (asymmetric output) or VOUT+ (symmetric ± rails) |
| CINV+ | Inverting pump flying cap (−) | Connects to negative terminal of flying capacitor; critical for charge transfer path |
| CINV− | Inverting pump flying cap (+) | Connects to positive terminal of flying capacitor; forms charge-transfer loop with CINV+ |
| EN− | Enable for inverting pump & LDO− | Logic high enables both stages; must not be left floating |
| BYP− | LDO− reference bypass | 100nF cap to GND reduces negative rail noise; same function as BYP+ for LDO+ |
| ADJ− | LDO− feedback node | Servos to −1.200V reference; sets negative output voltage via resistor divider |
| LDO− | Negative LDO output | Programmable rail (−32V to −1.2V); requires ≥2µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND |
| VOUT− | Inverting charge pump output | Drives LDO−; regulated to −VIN_N (constant freq.) or −0.94×VIN_N (Burst) |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Exposed pad (Pin 21) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity |
| CBST+ | Boost pump flying cap (+) | Connects to positive terminal of flying capacitor; forms charge-transfer loop with CBST− |
| CBST− | Boost pump flying cap (−) | Connects to negative terminal of flying capacitor; critical for charge transfer path |
| NC | No connect | Pins 1 and 11 are unconnected die pads; leave floating or tie to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent charge pumps | Separate boost and inverting stages allow asymmetric or symmetric bipolar rail generation without cross-coupling |
| Adjustable LDO outputs | ±1.200V precision references enable accurate, resistor-programmed outputs from ±1.2V to ±32V |
| Burst Mode + constant-frequency modes | Selectable via MODE pin: 135µA IQ for standby vs. low-ripple 500kHz operation for active signal conditioning |
| Integrated soft-start | Prevents inrush current on VOUT+ and VOUT− during startup; LDO+ ramps regulation point over 75µs |
| Thermal & short-circuit protection | Auto-recovering shutdown at ~175°C junction; VOUT+/VOUT− current limited to 220mA/160mA respectively |
| Ceramic-capacitor compatible | Stable with ≥2µF low-ESR ceramics on LDO outputs - eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic caps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-polarity regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage on VIN_N for LTC3265IFE#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum rating for VIN_N is 36V, but the specified operating range is 4.5V to 32V. Exceeding 32V may cause parametric degradation or reliability risk. The LTC3265IFE#TRPBF achieves optimal regulation and efficiency within this 4.5V–32V window, especially when generating –VIN_N or –0.94×VIN_N outputs in constant-frequency or Burst Mode respectively.
Can LTC3265IFE#TRPBF generate symmetric ±15V outputs from a 12V input?
Yes. Tie VIN_N to VOUT+ (which is ~2×VIN_P = 24V in constant-frequency mode), then configure LDO+ and LDO− with identical resistor dividers to set +15V and –15V. The LTC3265IFE#TRPBF's architecture inherently supports this configuration, and typical application circuit TA01a demonstrates exactly this ±15V output from 12V input.
How does the MODE pin affect output ripple and efficiency of LTC3265IFE#TRPBF?
When MODE = HIGH, LTC3265IFE#TRPBF enters Burst Mode: VOUT+ and VOUT– are regulated with hysteretic control, reducing IQ to 135µA but increasing output ripple. When MODE = LOW, it operates at fixed frequency (e.g., 500kHz), delivering lower ripple and higher efficiency under medium-to-heavy loads - at the cost of higher quiescent current.
What capacitor values are required on BYP+ and BYP− pins for optimal noise performance of LTC3265IFE#TRPBF?
A 100nF ceramic capacitor from BYP+ to GND and another 100nF from BYP− to GND are specified to reduce LDO+ and LDO− output noise to 100µVRMS. These capacitors bypass the internal ±1.2V references. Leaving either pin floating increases output noise by up to 3×, directly impacting SNR in sensitive analog stages powered by LTC3265IFE#TRPBF.
Is thermal pad connection mandatory for LTC3265IFE#TRPBF in the 20-lead TSSOP package?
Yes. The exposed thermal pad (Pin 21) is electrically GND and thermally critical. Per datasheet FE package specifications, it must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve θJA = 38°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown under 50mA load. Omitting this connection risks junction temperatures exceeding 150°C even at moderate ambient conditions, degrading LTC3265IFE#TRPBF reliability.
