Product details
Overview
LTC3265MPDHC#PBF 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 - delivering ±15V outputs from a single 12V input with <100 µVRMS output noise, 135 µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, and ±50 mA LDO output capability. It serves as a compact bipolar bias generator for precision analog signal chains in instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3265MPDHC#PBF datasheet, LTC3265MPDHC#PBF pinout, LTC3265MPDHC#PBF application, or LTC3265MPDHC#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range, programmable 50–500 kHz oscillator frequency via RT pin, dual LDO adjustability via ADJ+/ADJ–, and validated operation with ceramic capacitors only - critical for low-noise industrial sensor front-ends and high-reliability embedded systems.
Technical Context
The LTC3265MPDHC#PBF implements two independent charge pump topologies: a boost stage (CBST+, CBST–) generating up to 2×VIN_P, and an inverting stage (CINV+, CINV–) generating –VIN_N or –VOUT+, both selectable between constant-frequency (50–500 kHz) and Burst Mode® operation. Each pump feeds a dedicated low-noise LDO (LDO+, LDO–) with 1.2 V reference (ADJ+/ADJ–), enabling precise output voltage programming across wide input ranges (VIN_P: 4.5–16 V; VIN_N: 4.5–32 V).
Its control architecture uses MODE pin logic to select regulation mode (Burst vs. constant-frequency), EN+/EN– pins for independent enable/disable of positive/negative paths, and RT pin-based oscillator programming - all coordinated through internal logic that enforces soft-start, short-circuit limiting (220 mA/160 mA), and thermal shutdown (>175°C). The DFN package features exposed GND pad for thermal management and EMI reduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN_P Range | 4.5 V to 16 V - supports standard industrial 5 V, 12 V, and 15 V rails without external pre-regulation. |
| VIN_N Range | 4.5 V to 32 V - enables flexible negative rail generation from either main input or boosted VOUT+. |
| LDO Output Current | ±50 mA - sufficient to power op-amps, ADC drivers, and precision references in dual-supply circuits. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst) | 135 µA with both LDOs active - enables battery-backed or ultra-low-power standby modes. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 50 kHz to 500 kHz (RT-programmable) - allows trade-off between efficiency, ripple, and EMI filtering component size. |
| LDO Output Noise | 100 µVRMS (with 100 nF BYP+/- bypass) - meets requirements for 16-bit+ SAR ADC reference buffers and low-distortion audio stages. |
| Operating Temp Range | –55°C to +150°C (junction) - qualified for extended-temperature aerospace, downhole, and military applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 18-lead (5 mm × 3 mm × 0.75 mm) plastic DFN with exposed GND pad (Pin 19), thermally enhanced for θJA = 42°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CBST– (Pin 1) | Boost flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of external flying cap; forms charge transfer path during boost phase. |
| CBST+ (Pin 2) | Boost flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of flying cap; delivers charge to VOUT+ during transfer phase. |
| VIN_P (Pin 3) | Boost pump input supply | Primary input for boost stage; must be bypassed with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| EN– (Pin 4) | Negative path enable control | Logic-high enables inverting pump and LDO–; internal 0.7 µA pull-down prevents floating. |
| BYP– (Pin 5) | LDO– reference bypass | Accepts 100 nF capacitor to ground to reduce LDO– output noise by stabilizing internal –1.2 V reference. |
| ADJ– (Pin 6) | LDO– feedback node | Serves as –1.2 V reference point; resistor divider from LDO– to GND sets output voltage per VLDO– = –1.2 × (R1/R2 + 1). |
| LDO– (Pin 7) | Negative regulated output | Delivers user-programmed negative voltage (–1.2 V to –32 V); requires ≥2 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| VOUT– (Pin 8) | Inverting pump output | Provides –VIN_N (constant freq) or –0.94×VIN_N (Burst Mode); powers LDO– and supports direct use as unregulated rail. |
| CINV– (Pin 9) | Inverting flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of inverting flying cap; critical for polarity inversion timing and efficiency. |
| CINV+ (Pin 10) | Inverting flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of inverting flying cap; completes charge transfer loop for negative rail generation. |
| VIN_N (Pin 11) | Inverting pump input supply | Can be tied to VIN_P (asymmetric –VIN_P) or VOUT+ (symmetric –2×VIN_P); bypass with ≥10 µF ceramic cap. |
| RT (Pin 12) | Oscillator frequency set | 1.2 V-regulated node; resistor to GND programs switching frequency from 50 kHz to 500 kHz (GND = 500 kHz default). |
| EN+ (Pin 13) | Positive path enable control | Logic-high enables boost pump and LDO+; internal 0.7 µA pull-down ensures defined state when un-driven. |
| MODE (Pin 14) | Charge pump operating mode | High = Burst Mode® (low IQ, higher ripple); Low = constant-frequency (lower ripple, higher IQ); hysteresis prevents chatter. |
| BYP+ (Pin 15) | LDO+ reference bypass | Accepts 100 nF capacitor to ground to reduce LDO+ output noise by stabilizing internal +1.2 V reference. |
| ADJ+ (Pin 16) | LDO+ feedback node | Serves as +1.2 V reference point; resistor divider from LDO+ to GND sets output voltage per VLDO+ = 1.2 × (R1/R2 + 1). |
| LDO+ (Pin 17) | Positive regulated output | Delivers user-programmed positive voltage (1.2 V to 32 V); requires ≥2 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| VOUT+ (Pin 18) | Boost pump output | Provides 2×VIN_P (constant freq) or 0.94×2×VIN_P (Burst Mode); powers LDO+ and supports direct use as unregulated rail. |
| GND (Pin 19, Exposed Pad) | System ground and thermal path | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; provides primary thermal conduction path and EMI shielding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode® operation | Reduces total system IQ to 135 µA with both LDOs active - extends battery life in portable instrumentation without sacrificing regulation accuracy. |
| Dual independent enable pins (EN+/EN–) | Allows asymmetric power sequencing: e.g., enable LDO+ first for analog front-end bias, then LDO– after settling - prevents latch-up in mixed-signal ASICs. |
| RT-programmable oscillator | Enables EMI-sensitive designs to shift switching frequency away from critical bands (e.g., 100–200 kHz for audio) while maintaining stable regulation. |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors only | Eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic bulk caps - improves long-term reliability and reduces board area in space-constrained modules. |
| Integrated soft-start | Prevents inrush current spikes on VOUT+/VOUT– during power-up - avoids triggering upstream current-limit protection in shared supply rails. |
| Short-circuit and thermal protection | Self-limits VOUT+ to 220 mA and VOUT– to 160 mA; shuts down above 175°C junction - protects downstream circuitry during fault conditions without external components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-polarity regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3261IMSE#PBF | Single-output (positive only), no inverting pump; 100 mA LDO, 60 µA IQ in Burst Mode | Cannot generate negative rail - requires external inverter or split-rail supply | Select when only positive bias needed and lower IQ is critical; not a functional substitute for LTC3265MPDHC#PBF's bipolar output. |
| MAX1759EUB+T | Single inverting charge pump + LDO (–1.2 V to –15 V); no boost stage; 100 mA output; 200 µA IQ | Lacks positive rail generation - requires separate positive supply or regulator | Choose when negative bias only is required and footprint is constrained; lacks dual-path integration and temperature range of LTC3265MPDHC#PBF. |
Compared with LTC3265MPDHC#PBF, LTC3261IMSE#PBF offers lower quiescent current but no negative output capability, while MAX1759EUB+T provides only inverting functionality - neither matches the integrated dual-polarity, wide-input, extended-temperature performance of LTC3265MPDHC#PBF in precision instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for the LTC3265MPDHC#PBF?
The LTC3265MPDHC#PBF is rated for continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature. Its thermal shutdown activates at approximately +175°C to protect against momentary overloads. The device is characterized and guaranteed across –55°C to +150°C, making it suitable for high-reliability applications where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits. Derating guidelines apply above +125°C for long-term reliability.
Can the LTC3265MPDHC#PBF generate symmetric ±15 V outputs from a 12 V input?
Yes, the LTC3265MPDHC#PBF can generate symmetric ±15 V outputs from a 12 V input. Tie VIN_N to VOUT+ (not VIN_P), configure MODE for constant-frequency operation, set RT = GND for 500 kHz, and use resistor dividers on ADJ+/ADJ– to program LDO+ = +15 V and LDO– = –15 V. This configuration yields –VOUT+ = –2×12 V = –24 V at VOUT–, which the LDO– then regulates down to –15 V with low noise and high PSRR.
How does the RT pin affect switching frequency and output impedance in the LTC3265MPDHC#PBF?
The RT pin on the LTC3265MPDHC#PBF sets oscillator frequency from 50 kHz to 500 kHz via an external resistor to GND. Higher frequencies reduce effective open-loop output impedance (e.g., ~32 Ω at 500 kHz), improving load transient response and reducing required output capacitance. At lower frequencies (e.g., 50 kHz), ROL increases, limiting available average current and increasing ripple - making 500 kHz optimal for most precision applications unless EMI constraints dictate otherwise.
Is external compensation required for stability of the LTC3265MPDHC#PBF LDOs?
No external compensation is required for basic stability of the LTC3265MPDHC#PBF LDOs. The device is designed to be stable with ≥2 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitors on LDO+ and LDO– outputs. An optional 10 pF capacitor (COPT) may be added between ADJ+ and GND or ADJ– and GND to improve transient response, but this is application-specific and not mandatory. Stability is verified across temperature and load with standard ceramic caps only.
What protection features are built into the LTC3265MPDHC#PBF?
The LTC3265MPDHC#PBF integrates short-circuit current limiting (220 mA on VOUT+, 160 mA on VOUT–), thermal shutdown (>175°C junction), and undervoltage lockout (3.4 V rising on VIN_P). It also includes soft-start circuitry for both charge pumps and LDOs to limit inrush current, and internal pull-downs on EN+/EN–/MODE pins to prevent undefined states. These features operate autonomously without external components or configuration.
