Product details
Overview
SC1462ISKTRT from Semtech is a fixed-frequency, high-efficiency charge pump voltage doubler IC designed for low-power battery-operated systems. It operates across 1.65V–5.5V input, delivers up to 80mA output current, features 160kHz switching, 94% typical efficiency at 3.6V/55mA, and integrates short-circuit and over-temperature protection - used in handheld LCD bias supplies and cellular phone auxiliary rails.
For engineers reviewing the SC1462ISKTRT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility, ceramic-capacitor support, shutdown current <1μA, dropout voltage behavior vs. load, and SOT-23-6 thermal performance under continuous 80mA operation.
Technical Context
The SC1462ISKTRT implements a two-phase switched-capacitor doubler topology using internal MOSFETs controlled by a 160kHz oscillator. Its soft-start circuitry limits inrush via a 200mA VIN-sourced current until VOUT reaches VIN − 200mV, after which full charge-pump operation begins.
Output regulation relies on fixed-frequency switching and internal switch resistance (RSW ≤ 4.5Ω at 2.5V), with output ripple and dropout governed by external capacitor ESR and values. Thermal shutdown activates at ~140°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis, enabling safe cycling during overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.65V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, NiMH, and alkaline battery inputs without LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 80mA max - sufficient for LCD bias, white LED drivers, or low-power analog rails in portable devices. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 160kHz typ - enables use of small 3.3μF ceramic capacitors with minimal EMI impact. |
| Efficiency | 94% at 3.6V/55mA - reduces power loss and thermal stress in space-constrained handheld PCBs. |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA - extends battery life during system sleep modes without external enable control. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C activation with 20°C hysteresis - provides self-recovering fault protection during sustained overload or short circuit. |
| Package | SOT-23-6 - 2.8mm × 2.9mm footprint with exposed pad thermal path (θJA = 230°C/W). |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 package with 0.95mm pitch, 6-pin configuration, and thermal pad on bottom (not electrically connected). Pin 1 marked by dot; pin numbering follows standard SOT-23-6 layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VIN | Supply input | Accepts 1.65V–5.5V input; connects directly to battery or main rail; requires local 3.3μF decoupling. |
| 2 GND | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal switches; must be low-impedance connection to thermal pad. |
| 3 C− | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of 3.3μF flying capacitor; critical for charge transfer phase timing and ESR sensitivity. |
| 4 SHDN | Enable/shutdown control | Logic-high (≥1.6V) disables device; logic-low (≤0.4V) enables; draws <1μA in shutdown. |
| 5 VOUT | Doubled output | Delivers ~2×VIN; regulated by internal charge pump; requires 3.3μF output capacitor for ripple control. |
| 6 C+ | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of 3.3μF flying capacitor; forms series-charge path with C− during phase 2. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ceramic capacitor support | Validated with 3.3μF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| Low quiescent current | 140μA typical at no load (2.5V) - minimizes standby drain in always-on subsystems. |
| Integrated protection | Short-circuit current limit (~200mA) + thermal shutdown (140°C) - prevents damage without external circuitry. |
| Fixed-frequency operation | 160kHz ±40kHz - simplifies EMI filtering and avoids audio-band noise in sensitive analog sections. |
| Soft-start behavior | VIN-sourced 200mA pre-charge until VOUT ≥ VIN − 200mV - eliminates output overshoot and inrush spikes. |
Applications
| Handheld LCD Bias Supply | Cellular Phone Auxiliary Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge pump doubler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX682ESA+ | Fixed 2× doubler, 100kHz, 100mA output, wider temp range (−40°C to +125°C), higher quiescent current (250μA) | Preferred for industrial-grade designs requiring extended temperature operation and higher output current margin | Select MAX682ESA+ when ambient exceeds +85°C or when >80mA peak load is required |
| TPS60230RTJR | 2× doubler, 500kHz, 150mA output, integrated soft-start, lower shutdown current (0.1μA), requires different capacitor values | Better suited for compact, high-efficiency designs needing faster transient response and ultra-low shutdown leakage | Select TPS60230RTJR when board space is constrained and sub-μA shutdown is mandatory |
Compared with SC1462ISKTRT, MAX682ESA+ offers higher temperature rating and current headroom but trades off efficiency and quiescent current; TPS60230RTJR delivers superior dynamic performance and lower leakage but demands tighter capacitor tolerance control and higher BOM cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for SC1462ISKTRT?
The SC1462ISKTRT delivers up to 80mA output current when VIN is between 2.5V and 3.6V, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This rating holds across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and assumes proper 3.3μF ceramic capacitor placement per the Typical Application Circuit. Output current drops slightly at lower VIN due to increased dropout voltage.
Does SC1462ISKTRT require external inductors?
No, SC1462ISKTRT is a switched-capacitor charge pump and uses only external ceramic capacitors - specifically 3.3μF for CIN, COUT, and CBUCKET - eliminating inductors entirely. This reduces solution size, cost, and EMI concerns compared to inductive boost converters, making SC1462ISKTRT ideal for space-sensitive portable designs.
What is the shutdown current of SC1462ISKTRT?
The shutdown current of SC1462ISKTRT is specified as less than 1μA when the SHDN pin is pulled low, verified across temperature and input voltage conditions. This ultra-low leakage enables multi-month battery life in always-off portable devices, and the SHDN pin accepts standard CMOS logic levels (VIH ≥ 1.6V, VIL ≤ 0.4V) for direct microcontroller interfacing.
Can SC1462ISKTRT operate from a 1.65V input?
Yes, SC1462ISKTRT is fully specified to operate from 1.65V to 5.5V input, including functional startup and regulation at the minimum 1.65V rail. At this voltage, output is ~3.3V (2×VIN), with reduced output current capability and higher dropout - confirmed in the Typical Dropout Voltage vs. IOUT graph for VIN = 1.5V and VIN = 2.5V.
Is SC1462ISKTRT pin-compatible with other Semtech charge pumps?
No, SC1462ISKTRT has a unique 6-pin SOT-23-6 pinout (VIN, GND, C−, SHDN, VOUT, C+) not shared with other Semtech charge pumps like SC1453 or SC2982. Substitution requires PCB layout changes; the SC1462ISKTRT pin configuration is explicitly defined in the Pin Descriptions section and validated in the Outline Drawing on page 9 of the datasheet.
