SOT-23 DC/DC Converters Generate Up to ±35V Outputs and
Consume Only 20µA of Quiescent Current – Design Note 223
Bryan Legates
Today’s portable devices need small power supply solutions that operate with a minimum of supply current.
To meet these needs, Linear Technology introduces the
LT®1615, LT1615-1, LT1617 and LT1617-1 micropower
SOT-23 DC/DC converters. With an input voltage range
as low as 1V and an output voltage range as high as
±35V, these devices provide considerable power supply
design flexibility.
The LT1615 and LT1615-1 are designed to regulate
positive output voltages, whereas the LT1617 and
LT1617-1 are designed to directly regulate negative output voltages without the need for feedback
level-shifting circuitry. The LT1615 and LT1617 have a
350mA current limit and a minimum input voltage of
1.2V, whereas the LT1615-1 and LT1617-1 have a lower,
100mA current limit and a minimum input voltage of
1V. All four converters use tiny, low profile inductors
and capacitors to minimize the overall system footprint
and cost. With a quiescent current of only 20μA and
a shutdown current of 0.5μA, these devices squeeze
the most life out of any battery-powered application.
±20V Dual-Output Converter
with Output Disconnect
Today, most portable devices use a liquid crystal display
(LCD). Different manufacturers require substantially different bias voltages for their LCDs. Typically, a single 9V
to 25V supply is needed (either positive or negative), but
some LCDs require both a positive and negative supply.
Figure 1 shows a ±20V dual-output converter ideally
suited for LCD bias applications needing both supplies.
Both outputs are developed using charge pumps, so
both are disconnected from the input when the LT1617
is turned off. Because the supplies are generated in
the same manner, this circuit features excellent cross
regulation: for a 5× difference in output currents, the
positive and negative output voltages differ less than
1%; for a 10× difference, they differ less than 2%. A
similar circuit can be implemented using the LT1615 if
the regulation of the positive output is more important.
As shown in Figure 2, efficiency reaches 78% with a
fresh 4-cell alkaline battery.

24V Boost Converter
Figure 3 shows a circuit ideal for LCD applications needing only a positive bias voltage. This 24V boost converter
delivers 10mA from a nearly discharged single Li-Ion
cell. An input voltage as low as 1.5V can be used with
this converter, but the output current capability reduces
to 5mA. Converter efficiency is shown in Figure 4.

1-Cell to 3V Boost Converter
A 1-cell alkaline to 3V boost converter using the
LT1615-1 is shown in Figure 6. Capable of providing
15mA of output current, this converter occupies a board
area less than 1/4" by 5/16" (less than 0.078 inches2).
See Figure 7 for converter efficiency, which reaches
75% with a fresh 1-cell alkaline battery.

1V to 35V Boost Converter
The circuit in Figure 5 shows the impressive input and
output voltage range of the LT1615-1. As shown, the
circuit will work from one to four alkaline cells or a
single cell Li-Ion battery. The maximum input voltage
for this circuit is limited by the 6.3V voltage rating on
the input capacitor, C1. The LT1615-1 can operate with
an input voltage as high as 15V. The output current is
limited by the 1V minimum input (this converter can
provide 2mA with a 3V input). If a larger output current
is needed, but operation from a 1V input is not required,
use an LT1615 in place of the LT1615-1 to obtain a 3×
increase in maximum output current.
