DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
1514-3.3/LTC1514-5 are micropower switched
capacitor DC/DC converters that produce a regulated
output voltage by either stepping up or stepping down
the input voltage. Output voltage is fixed at either 3.3V
(LTC1514-3.3) or 5V (LTC1514-5) by an internal resistor
divider.
A unique architecture allows the parts to accommodate
a wide input voltage range (2V to 10V) while maintaining
±4%
regulation. Additional circuitry prevents excessive
inrush current and output voltage ripple when large V
IN
to V
OUT
differentials are present.
An internal uncommitted comparator is kept active in
shutdown. The comparator has an open-drain output for
flexible interfacing.
The parts are short-circuit and overtemperature pro-
tected. Battery life is maximized by very low operating
currents (I
CC
= 60µA typ, 10µA in shutdown). Both parts
are available in an SO-8 package.
