The LTC®1550L/LTC1551L are switched capacitor charge
pump voltage inverters which include internal linear postregulators to minimize output ripple. The LTC1550L fixed
output voltage versions include –4.1V, –2.5V and –2V with
ripple voltages typically below 1mVP-P. The LTC1550L is
also available in an adjustable output voltage version. The
LTC1550L/LTC1551L are ideal for use as bias voltage
generators for GaAs transmitter FETs in portable RF and
cellular telephone applications.
The LTC1550L/LTC1551L operate from single 2.7V to
5.5V supplies and draw typical quiescent currents of
3.5mA with a 5V supply. Each device includes a TTL
compatible Shutdown pin which drops supply current to
0.2µA typically. The LTC1550L Shutdown pin is active low
(SHDN), while the LTC1551L Shutdown pin is active high
(SHDN). Only four external components are required: an
input bypass capacitor, two 0.1µF charge pump capacitors
and a filter capacitor at the linear regulator output. The
adjustable LTC1550L/LTC1551L require two additional resistors to set the output voltage. The LTC1550L/LTC1551L
will supply up to 20mA (depending on VCC to VOUT range),
while maintaining guaranteed output regulation of ±2.5%.
Both fixed voltage and adjustable LTC1550L/LTC1551L
are available in 8-lead MSOP and SO plastic packages: the
adjustable LTC1550L is also available in a 16-pin SSOP
with the REG pin.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SHDN: Shutdown (TTL Compatible). This pin is active low
(SHDN) for the LTC1550L and active high (SHDN) for the
LTC1551L. When this pin is at VCC (GND for LTC1551L),
the LTC1550L operates normally. When SHDN is pulled
low (SHDN pulled high for LTC1551L), the LTC1550L
enters shutdown mode. In shutdown, the charge pump
stops, the output collapses to 0V, and the quiescent
current drops typically to 0.2µA. The SHDN pin for the
LTC1550L is a high impedance input and has no internal
pull-up. The user must supply a resistor or current source
pull-up to default the LTC1550L into normal operation.
The SHDN pin for the LTC1551L has an internal 5µA
typical pull-down that defaults the LTC1551L into normal
operation.
VCC: Power Supply. VCC requires an input voltage between
2.7V and 5.25V. Certain combinations of output voltage
and output load current may place additional restrictions
on the required input voltage. Consult the Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Performance Characteristics
for guaranteed test points. The difference between the
input voltage and output should not exceed 10.5V or
damage to the chip may occur. VCC must be bypassed
directly to PGND (GND for 8-pin packages) with at least a
0.1µF capacitor placed in close proximity to the chip. A 1µF
or larger low ESR bypass capacitor is recommended to
minimize noise and ripple at the output. A surface mount
ceramic capacitor is recommended.
C1 +: C1 Positive Input. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor between
C1 + and C1 –.
VOUT: Negative Voltage Output. This pin must be bypassed
with a 4.7µF or larger capacitor to ensure regulator loop
stability. LTC recommends at least 10µF to achieve the
specified output ripple. The output capacitor should be a
moderate ESR capacitor, and not a very low ESR capacitor, as the zero in the feedback loop (formed by the ESR
and the output capacitor) provides phase lead to the linear
regulator feedback loop. Using very low ESR output capacitors will result in the output oscillating. A low ESR
0.1µF capacitor is recommended in parallel with the main
output capacitor to minimize high frequency spikes at the
output. The ground connection for the output capacitor
6
should connect directly to the VCC and CPOUT bypass
capacitors, as well as to the GND of the LTC1550L/
LTC1551L. LTC recommends a separate trace for the VOUT
capacitor ground connection to minimize noise.
C1 –: C1 Negative Input. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from
C1 + to C1 –.
GND: Ground. Connect to a low impedance ground. A
ground plane will help minimize regulation errors.
CPOUT: Negative Charge Pump Output. This pin requires a
0.1µF storage capacitor to ground. In order to achieve
ripple on the output voltage of less than 1mV, the ground
connection for the CPOUT capacitor must tie directly to the
bottom of the VCC bypass capacitor and at the GND pin of
the LTC1550L/LTC1551L. This minimizes the AC current
path for the charge pump.
REG: This is an open-drain output that pulls low when the
output voltage is within 5% of the set value. It will sink 4mA
to ground with a 5V supply. The external circuitry must
provide a pull-up or REG will not swing high. The voltage
at REG may exceed VCC and can be pulled up to 6V above
ground without damage. For the LTC1550L adjustable
voltage version, the REG pin is only available in the 16-lead
GN package.
ADJ (for adjustable versions): This is the feedback point
for the external resistor divider string. Connect a divider
string from GND to VOUT with the divided tap connected to
ADJ. Note that the resistor string needs to be connected
“upside-down” from a negative regulator. See the Applications Information section for hook-up details.
GN PACKAGE ONLY
PGND: Power Ground. Connect to a low impedance ground.
PGND should be connected to the same potential as
AGND.
AGND: Analog Ground. Connect to a low impedance
ground. AGND should be connected to a ground plane to
minimize regulation errors.
NC: No Internal Connection.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
The LTC1550L/LTC1551L are switched capacitor, inverting
charge pumps with internal linear post-regulators. The
LTC1550L/LTC1551L provide a regulated, low ripple output
at up to 20mA load current with the appropriate input
voltage as output load current depends on the input/
output voltage combination. Consult the graph provided in
the Typical Performance Characteristics section and the
Electrical Characteristics table for guaranteed test points.
The LTC1550L/LTC1551L are ideal for use as bias voltage
generators for GaAs transmitter FETs in portable RF and
cellular telephone applications. The LTC1550L features an
active-low Shutdown pin (SHDN) that drops quiescent
current to below 1µA. The LTC1551L is identical to the
LTC1550L, except that the Shutdown pin is active-high
(SHDN). All members of the LTC1550L/LTC1551L family
feature a 900kHz charge pump frequency. The LTC1550L/
LTC1551L come standard with fixed – 4.1V, –2.5V, –2V
and adjustable output voltages. The LTC1550L/LTC1551L
can be configured for other fixed output voltages; contact

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LTC1550L/LTC1551L consist of two major blocks
(see Block Diagram): an inverting charge pump and a
negative linear regulator. The charge pump uses two
external capacitors, C1 and CCP to generate a negative
voltage at CPOUT. It operates by charging and discharging
C1 on alternate phases of the internal 900kHz clock. C1 is
initially charged to VCC through switches S1 and S3. When
the internal clock changes phase, S1 and S3 open and S2
and S4 close, shorting the positive side of C1 to ground.
This forces the negative side of C1 below ground, and
charge is transferred to CCP through S4. As this cycle
repeats, the magnitude of the negative voltage approaches
VCC. The 900kHz internal clock frequency helps keep noise
out of the 400kHz to 600kHz IF bands commonly used by
portable radio frequency systems and reduces the size of
the external capacitors required. Most applications can
use standard 0.1µF ceramic capacitors for C1 and CCP.
Increasing C1 and CCP beyond 0.1µF has little effect on the
output ripple or the output current capacity of the
LTC1550L/LTC1551L.
The negative voltage at CPOUT supplies the input to the
negative regulator block. This block consists of an
N-channel MOSFET pass device and a feedback amplifier
that monitors the output voltage and compares it to the
internal reference. The regulated output appears at the
VOUT pin. The regulation loop is optimized for fast transient response, enabling it to remove most of the switching artifacts present at the CPOUT pin. Output ripple is
typically below 1mVP-P with output loads between 0mA
and 10mA. The output voltage is set by a pair of internal
divider resistors for the fixed voltage versions. The Nchannel pass device minimizes dropout, allowing the
output to remain in regulation with supply voltages as low
as 2.7V for an output voltage of –2V. An output capacitor
of at least 4.7µF from VOUT to ground is required to keep
the regulator loop stable; for optimum stability and minimum output ripple, at least 10µF is recommended.
Adjustable Hook-Up
For the adjustable LTC1550L/LTC1551L, the output voltage is set with a resistor divider from GND to VOUT
(Figure␣ 2). Note that the internal reference and the internal
feedback amplifier are set up as a positive-output regulator referenced to the VOUT pin, not as a negative regulator

referenced to ground. The output resistor divider must be
set to provide 1.225V at the ADJ pin with respect to VOUT.
For example, a – 3V output would require a 17.4k resistor
from GND to ADJ, and a 12.1k resistor to VOUT.
CAPACITOR SELECTION
The LTC1550L/LTC1551L requires four external capacitors: an input bypass capacitor, two 0.1µF charge pump
capacitors and an output filter capacitor. The overall
behavior of the LTC1550L/LTC1551L is strongly affected
by how the capacitors are used, and by how the capacitors
are laid out on the printed circuit board (PCB). In particular, the output capacitor’s value and ESR have a significant
effect on the output ripple and noise performance. In
addition, the ground connections for the VCC bypass
capacitor, the CPOUT capacitor and the VOUT bypass capacitor must employ star-ground techniques at the GND
pin of the LTC1550L/LTC1551L. Proper capacitor selection is critical for optimum performance of the LTC1550L/
LTC1551L.
Output Ripple vs Output Capacitor
Figure 4 shows the effect of using different output capacitor values on the LTC1550L/LTC1551L output ripple.
These curves are taken using the LTC1551L circuit in
Figure 3, with CIN = 2.2µF and ILOAD = 5mA. The upper
curve shows the performance with a standard tantalum
capacitor alone and the lower curve shows that of the
tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. As a general rule, larger output capacitors provide
lower output ripple. To keep output voltage ripple below
1mVP–P, 10µF, or greater, in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor is required. To guarantee loop stability under all
conditions, a minimum of 4.7µF is required at the output.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 4 shows a marked decrease in peak-to-peak output
ripple when a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is added in parallel
with the tantalum output capacitor. The additional ripple
with the tantalum output capacitor alone is mostly very
high order harmonics of the 900kHz clock, which appear
as sharp "spikes" at the output. The energy in these spikes
is very small and they do not contribute to the RMS output
voltage, but their peak-to-peak amplitude can be several
millivolts under some conditions. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor has significantly lower impedance at the spike frequency than a large tantalum capacitor, and eliminates
most of these left-over switching spikes that the tantalum
capacitor leaves behind. Figure 5 and 6 show scope photos
of the output of Figure 4 with and without the additional
ceramic capacitor at the output.
A series RC or LC filter can reduce high frequency output
noise even further. Due to the high 900kHz switching
frequency, not much R or L is required; a ferrite bead or a
relatively long PC board trace in series with 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor will usually keep the output ripple well below
1mVP-P. Figure 1 shows an example of an ultralow noise
– 2V generator. The corresponding spectrum and spot
noise plots for this circuit are shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Output Ripple vs Input Bypass Capacitor
The input bypass capacitor (CIN) can also have a fairly
significant impact on the output ripple. CIN provides most
of the LTC1550L/LTC1551L’s supply current while it is
charging the flying capacitor (C1). Inadequate input
bypassing can cause the VCC supply to dip when the
charge pump switches, causing the output linear regulator
to momentarily stop regulating. CIN should be mounted as
close to the LTC1550L/LTC1551L VCC and GND pins as
possible and its value should be significantly larger than
C1. Surface mount tantalum or ceramic capacitors with
low ESR generally provide adequate performance. Figure␣ 7
shows the LTC1550L/LTC1551L peak-to-peak output ripple
vs CIN, taken using the test circuit in Figure 3 with ILOAD set
at 5mA. COUT is a 10µF in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor.
A 2.2µF surface mount ceramic capacitor at VCC generally
provides adequate output ripple performance for most
applications.
