The LTC®3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 are charge pump stepdown DC/DC converters that produce a 1.5V or 1.2V
regulated output from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. The parts use
switched capacitor fractional conversion to achieve typical efficiency two times higher than that of a linear regulator. No inductors are required.
A unique constant frequency architecture provides a low
noise regulated output as well as lower input noise
than conventional charge pump regulators.* High
frequency operation (fOSC = 1.5MHz) simplifies filtering
to further reduce conducted noise. The part also uses
Burst Mode® operation to improve efficiency at light loads.
Low operating current (35µA with no load, <1µA in
shutdown) and low external parts count (three small
ceramic capacitors) make the LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2
ideally suited for space constrained battery powered applications. The parts are short-circuit and overtemperature
protected, and are available in a low profile (1mm) 6-pin
ThinSOTTM package.

OPERATIO (Refer to Simplified Block Diagram)
The LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 use a switched capacitor
charge pump to step down VIN to a regulated 1.5V ±4% or
1.2V ±4% (respectively) output voltage. Regulation is
achieved by sensing the output voltage through an internal
resistor divider and modulating the charge pump output
current based on the error signal. A 2-phase nonoverlapping
clock activates the charge pump switches. On the first
phase of the clock current is transferred from VIN, through
the flying capacitor, to VOUT. Not only is current being
delivered to VOUT on the first phase, but the flying capacitor is also being charged up. On the second phase of the
clock the flying capacitor is connected from VOUT to
ground, delivering the charge stored during the first phase
of the clock to VOUT. Using this method of switching, only
half of the output current is delivered from VIN, thus
achieving twice the efficiency over a conventional LDO.
The sequence of charging and dis-charging the flying
capacitor continues at a free running frequency of 1.5MHz
(typ). This constant frequency architecture provides a low
noise regulated output as well as lower input noise than
conventional switch-capacitor charge pump regulators.
The part also has a low current Burst Mode operation to
improve efficiency even at light loads.
In shutdown mode all circuitry is turned off and the
LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 draw only leakage current from
the VIN supply. Furthermore, VOUT is disconnected from
VIN. The SHDN pin is a CMOS input with a threshold
voltage of approximately 0.8V. The LTC3250-1.5/LTC32501.2 are in shutdown when a logic low is applied to the
SHDN pin. Since the SHDN pin is a high impedance CMOS
input it should never be allowed to float. To ensure that its
state is defined it must always be driven with a valid logic
level.
Short-Circuit/Thermal Protection
The LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 have built-in short-circuit
current limiting as well as overtemperature protection.
During short-circuit conditions, the parts will automatically limit the output current to approximately 500mA. At
higher temperatures, or if the input voltage is high enough
to cause excessive self heating on chip, thermal shutdown
circuitry will shut down the charge pump once the junction
temperature exceeds approximately 160°C. It will reenable
the charge pump once the junction temperature drops
back to approximately 150°C. The LTC3250-1.5/LTC32501.2 will cycle in and out of thermal shutdown without latchup or damage until the short-circuit on VOUT is removed.
Long term overstress (IOUT > 350mA, and/or TJ > 140°C)
should be avoided as it can degrade the performance of the
part.
Soft-Start
To prevent excessive current flow at VIN during start-up,
the LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 have a built-in soft-start
circuitry. Soft-start is achieved by increasing the amount
of current available to the output charge storage capacitor
linearly over a period of approximately 500µs. Soft-start is
enabled whenever the device is brought out of shutdown,
and is disabled shortly after regulation is achieved.
Low Current “Burst Mode” Operation
To improve efficiency at low output currents, Burst Mode
operation was included in the design of the LTC3250-1.5/
LTC3250-1.2. An output current sense is used to detect
when the required output current drops below an internally set threshold (30mA typ.). When this occurs, the part
shuts down the internal oscillator and goes into a low
current operating state. The LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2
will remain in the low current operating state until the
output has dropped enough to require another burst of
current. Unlike traditional charge pumps whose burst
current is dependant on many factors (i.e. supply voltage,
switch resistance, capacitor selection, etc.), the LTC32501.5/LTC3250-1.2’s burst current is set by the burst threshold and hysteresis. This means that the VOUT ripple voltage
in Burst Mode will be fixed and is typically 12mV for a
4.7µF output capacitor.
Power Efficiency
The power efficiency (η) of the LTC3250-1.5/LTC32501.2 are approximately double that of a conventional linear
regulator. This occurs because the input current for a 2 to
1 step-down charge pump is approximately half the output

The switching losses and quiescent current of the
LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 are designed to minimize efficiency loss over the entire output current range, causing
only a couple % error from the theoritical efficiency. For
example with VIN = 3.6V, IOUT = 100mA and VOUT regulating to 1.5V the measured efficiency is 80.6% which is in
close agreement with the theoretical 83.3% calculation.
0.15Ω for the LTC3250-1.5 and 0.12Ω for the
LTC3250-1.2. For a 250mA load current change the output
voltage will change by about 37mV for the LTC3250-1.5
and by 30mV for the LTC 3250-1.2. If the ESR of the output
capacitor is greater than the closed-loop-output impedance the part will cease to roll-off in a simple one-pole
fashion and poor load transient response or instability
could result. Ceramic capacitors typically have exceptional ESR performance and combined with a tight board
layout should yield excellent stability and load transient
performance.
Further output noise reduction can be achieved by filtering
the LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 output through a very small
series inductor as shown in Figure 1. A 10nH inductor will
VOUT Capacitor Selection
The ESR and value of capacitors used with the LTC32501.5/LTC3250-1.2 determine several important parameters
such as regulator control loop stability, output ripple, and
charge pump strength.

The value of COUT directly controls the amount of output

will reduce the output ripple.
Figure 1. 10nH Inductor Used for
Additional Output Noise Reduction
To reduce output noise and ripple, it is suggested that a
low ESR (<0.1Ω) ceramic capacitor (4.7µF or greater) be
used for COUT. Tantalum and aluminum capacitors are not
recommended because of their high ESR.
reject the fast output transients, thereby presenting a
nearly constant output voltage. For economy the 10nH
inductor can be fabricated on the PC board with about 1cm
(0.4") of PC board trace.
Both ESR and value of the COUT can significantly affect the
stability of the LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2. As shown in
the block diagram, the LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 use a
control loop to adjust the strength of the charge pump to
match the current required at the output. The error signal
of this loop is stored directly on the output charge storage
capacitor. Thus the charge storage capacitor also serves
to form the dominant pole for the control loop. To prevent
ringing or instability it is important for the output capacitor
to maintain at least 2.5µF of capacitance over all conditions (see “Ceramic Capacitor Selection Guidelines” section).
VIN Capacitor Selection
Likewise excessive ESR on the output capacitor will tend
to degrade the loop stability of the LTC3250-1.5/LTC32501.2. The closed-loop output resistance is designed to be
The constant frequency architecture used by the
LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 makes input noise filtering
much less demanding than conventional charge pump
regulators. On a cycle by cycle basis, the LTC3250-1.5/
LTC3250-1.2 input current will go from IOUT/2 to 0mA.
Lower ESR will reduce the voltage steps caused by changing input current, while the absolute capacitor value will
determine the level of ripple. For optimal input noise and
ripple reduction, it is recommended that a low ESR 1µF or
greater ceramic capacitor be used for CIN (see “Ceramic
Capacitor Selection Guidelines” section). Aluminum and
tantalum capacitors are not recommended because of
their high ESR.

Flying Capacitor Selection
Warning: A polarized capacitor such as tantalum or
aluminum should never be used for the flying capacitor
since its voltage can reverse upon start-up of the
LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2. Ceramic capacitors should
always be used for the flying capacitor.
The flying capacitor controls the strength of the charge
pump. In order to achieve the rated output current it is
necessary for the flying capacitor to have at least 0.4µF of
capacitance over operating temperature with a 2V bias
(see “Ceramic Capacitor Selection Guidelines” section). If
only 100mA or less of output current is required for the
application the flying capacitor minimum can be reduced
to 0.15µF.
Ceramic Capacitor Selection Guidelines
Capacitors of different materials lose their capacitance
with higher temperature and voltage at different rates. For
example, a ceramic capacitor made of X7R material will
retain most of its capacitance from –40°C to 85°C whereas
a Z5U or Y5V style capacitor will lose considerable capacitance over that range (60% to 80% loss typ.). Z5U and Y5V
capacitors may also have a very strong voltage coefficient
causing them to lose an additional 60% or more of their
capacitance when the rated voltage is applied. Therefore,
when comparing different capacitors it is often more
appropriate to compare the amount of achievable capacitance for a given case size rather than discussing the
specified capacitance value. For example, over rated voltage and temperature conditions, a 4.7µF, 10V, Y5V
ceramic capacitor in a 0805 case may not provide any
more capacitance than a 1µF, 10V, X7R available in the
same 0805 case. In fact over bias and temperature range,
the 1µF, 10V, X7R will provide more capacitance than the
4.7µF, 10V, Y5V. The capacitor manufacturer’s data sheet
should be consulted to determine what value of capacitor
is needed to ensure minimum capacitance values are met
over operating temperature and bias voltage.

Layout Considerations
Due to the high switching frequency and transient currents
produced by the LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 careful board
layout is necessary for optimal performance. A true ground
plane and short connections to all capacitors will improve
performance and ensure proper regulation under all conditions. Figure 2 shows the recommended layout configuration.

The flying capacitor pins, C + and C – will have very high

transfer, a Faraday shield may be used. This is a grounded
PC trace between the sensitive node and the LTC3250-1.5/
LTC3250-1.2 pins. For a high quality AC ground it should
be returned to a solid ground plane that extends all the way
to the LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2.

OPERATIO
(Refer to Simplified Block Diagram)
Thermal Management
For higher input voltages and maximum output current
there can be substantial power dissipation in the
LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2. If the junction temperature
increases above approximately 160°C the thermal shutdown circuitry will automatically deactivate the output. To
reduce the maximum junction temperature, a good thermal connection to the PC board is recommended. Connecting the GND pin (Pin 2) to a ground plane, and
maintaining a solid ground plane under the device can
reduce the thermal resistance of the package and PC board
considerably.
Derating Power at Higher Temperatures
To prevent an overtemperature condition in high power
applications Figure 3 should be used to determine the
maximum combination of ambient temperature and power
1.2
dissipation. The power dissipated in the LTC3250-1.5/
LTC3250-1.2 should always fall under the line shown (i.e.
within the safe region) for a given ambient temperature.
The power dissipated in the LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 is
given by the expression:
V

PD =  IN – VOUT  IOUT
 2

This derating curve assumes a maximum thermal resistance, θJA , of 175°C/W for the 6-pin ThinSOT-23. This
thermal resistances can be achieved from a printed circuit
board layout with a solid ground plane (2000mm2)on at
least one layer with a good thermal connection to the
ground pin of the LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2. Operation
outside of this curve will cause the junction temperature to
exceed 140°C which may trigger the thermal shutdown
circuitry and ultimately reduce the life of the device.
