DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®1503-1.8/LTC1503-2 are switched capacitor
step-down DC/DC converters that produce a regulated
output from a 2.4V to 6V input. The parts use switched
capacitor fractional conversion to achieve high efficiency
over the entire input range. No inductors are required.
Internal circuitry controls the step-down conversion ratio
to optimize efficiency as the input voltage and load conditions vary. Typical efficiency is 25% higher than that of a
low dropout (LDO) linear regulator.
Input Voltage Range: 2.4V to 6V
Fixed Output Voltages: 1.8V ±4%, 2V ±4%
Output Current: Up to 100mA
No Inductors
Typical Efficiency 25% Higher than LDOs
Low Operating Current: 25µA
Low Shutdown Current: 5µA
600kHz Switching Frequency
Shutdown Disconnects Load from VIN
Soft-Start Limits Inrush Current at Turn-On
Short-Circuit and Overtemperature Protected
Available in 8-Pin MSOP and SO Packages
Regulation is achieved by sensing the output voltage and
enabling the internal switching network as needed to
maintain a fixed output voltage. This method of regulation
enables the parts to achieve high efficiency at extremely
light loads. Low operating current (25µA with no load, 5µA
in shutdown) and low external parts count (two 1µF flying
capacitors and two 10µF bypass capacitors) make the
LTC1503-1.8/LTC1503-2 ideally suited for space constrained battery-powered applications. The parts are fully
short-circuit and overtemperature protected.

General Operation
The two most common methods for providing regulated
step-down DC/DC conversion are linear DC/DC conversion
(used by LDOs) and inductor-based DC/DC conversion.
Linear regulation provides low cost and low complexity, but
the conversion efficiency is poor since all of the load current must come directly from VIN. Inductor-based stepdown conversion provides the highest efficiency, but the
solution cost and circuit complexity are much higher. The
LTC1503-X provides the efficiency advantages associated
with inductor-based circuits as well as the cost and simplicity advantages of an inductorless converter.
The LTC1503-X is a switched capacitor step-down DC/DC
converter. The part uses an internal switch network and
fractional conversion ratios to achieve high efficiency over
widely varying VIN and output load conditions. Internal
control circuitry selects the appropriate step-down conversion ratio based on VIN, VOUT and load conditions to
optimize efficiency. The part has three possible step-down
modes: 2-to-1, 3-to-2 or 1-to-1 (gated switch) step-down
mode. Only two external flying caps are needed to operate
in all three modes. 2-to-1 mode is chosen when VIN is
greater than two times the desired VOUT. 3-to-2 mode is
chosen when VIN is greater than 1.5 times VOUT but less
than 2 times VOUT. 1-to-1 mode is chosen when VIN falls
below 1.5 times VOUT. An internal mode skip function will
switch the step-down ratio as needed to maintain output
regulation under heavy load conditions.
Regulation is achieved by sensing the divided down output
voltage and enabling the charge pump as needed to boost
the output back into regulation. This method of regulation
allows the LTC1503-X to achieve high efficiency at very
light loads. The part has shutdown capability as well as
user controlled inrush current limiting. In addition, the
part can withstand an indefinite short-circuit condition on
VOUT and is also overtemperature protected.
Step-Down Charge Pump Operation
Figure 1a shows the charge pump switch configuration
that is used for 2-to-1 step down. When the charge pump
is enabled in this mode, a two phase nonoverlapping clock
generates the switch control signals. On phase one of the
clock, flying capacitor C1 is connected through switches

S1 and S2 across VOUT. If the voltage on C1 is greater than
the voltage on COUT, charge is transferred from C1 onto
COUT. On phase two, the top plate of C1 is connected to VIN
and the bottom plate is connected to VOUT. If the voltage
across C1 is less than VIN /2 during phase two, charge will
be transferred from C1 onto COUT thereby boosting the
voltage on COUT and raising the voltage across C1. Thus,
in 2-to-1 mode, charge transfer from C1 onto COUT occurs
on both phases of the clock, and the voltage on COUT is
driven towards 1/2VIN until the output is back in regulation. Since charge current is sourced from ground on
phase one of the clock, current multiplication is realized
with respect to VIN, i.e., IVOUT equals approximately 2 •
IVIN. This results in significant efficiency improvement
relative to a linear regulator.
The 3-to-2 conversion mode also uses a nonoverlapping
clock for switch control but requires two flying capacitors
and a total of seven switches (see Figure 1b). On phase
one, C1 and C2 are connected in series across VOUT. If the
sum of the voltages across C1 and C2 is greater than VOUT,
charge is transferred from the flying caps onto COUT
thereby reducing the average voltage on the flying caps
and raising the voltage on the output capacitor. On phase
two, the two flying capacitors are connected on parallel
between VIN and VOUT. Since the average voltage across
the two capacitors during phase one is VOUT /2, charge will
be transferred from VIN to VOUT through the two flying
caps if VIN minus VOUT /2 is greater than VOUT. In this
manner, charge is again transferred from the flying caps
to the output on both phases of the clock, and the voltage
on COUT is driven towards (2/3)VIN until the part is back in
regulation. As in 2-to-1 mode, charge current is sourced
from ground on phase one of the clock which results in
increased power efficiency. IVOUT in 3-to-2 mode equals
approximately (3/2)IVIN.

maintain regulation. This will only occur as VIN/VOUT nears
a 3-to-2 or 1-to-1 transition point. For example, under light
load conditions, the LTC1503-X can operate in 2-to-1
mode when VIN equals 4.1V with greater than 90% efficiency. However, when the load is increased, the part can
no longer supply enough output current in 2-to-1 mode to
maintain regulation. This causes VOUT to droop below the
regulation point until COMP2 trips and forces the part to
skip from 2-to-1 mode to 3-to-2 mode. The COMP2
threshold is about 17mV (VOUT referred) below the main
comparator regulation point. Hysteresis in COMP2 will
force the part to transition in and out of mode skipping.
This will result in a slight VOUT decrease of approximately
20mV under mode skipping conditions.

Figure 1b. Step-Down Charge Pump in 3-to-2 Mode
In 1-to-1 mode, switch S1 and S2 are connected in series
between VIN and VOUT as needed to boost VOUT back into
regulation (see Figure 1c). The REG ENABLE signal from
the main comparator (COMP1) controls switches S1 and
S2 directly. Since all of the VOUT current is sourced from
VIN, the efficiency in 1-to-1 mode is approximately equal
to that of a linear regulator.

Mode Selection and Mode Skipping
The optimal step-down conversion mode is chosen based
on VIN to VOUT differential voltage and output load conditions. Two internal comparators are used to select the
default step-down mode based on the VIN and VOUT
voltage. A separate comparator (COMP2) is used to sense
a droop on VOUT due to a heavy output load and force the
charge pump to skip to a higher output current mode to
Shutdown/Soft-Start Operation
The SHDN/SS pin is used to implement both low current
shutdown and soft-start. The soft-start feature limits
inrush currents when the regulator is initially powered up
or taken out of shutdown. Forcing a voltage lower than
0.35V (typ) will put the part into shutdown mode. Shutdown mode disables all control circuitry and forces the
charge pump VOUT into a high impedance state. A 2µA pullup current on the SHDN/SS pin will force the part into
active mode if the pin is left floating or is driven with an
open-drain output that is in a high impedance state. If the
pin is not driven with an open-drain device, it must be
forced to a logic high voltage of 2.2V (min) to ensure
proper VOUT regulation. The SHDN/SS pin should not be
driven to a voltage higher than VIN.
To implement soft-start, the SHDN/SS pin must be driven
with an open-drain device and a capacitor must be
connected from the SHDN/SS pin to GND. Once the opendrain device is turned off, a 2µA pull-up current will begin
charging the external SS capacitor and force the voltage
on the pin to ramp towards VIN. As soon as the SHDN
threshold is reached (0.35V typ), the internal reference
voltage which controls the VOUT regulation point will
follow the ramp voltage on the SHDN/SS pin (minus a
0.35V offset to account for the SHDN threshold) until the
reference reaches its final band gap voltage. This occurs
when the voltage on the SHDN/SS pin reaches

approximately 1.9V. Since the ramp rate on the SHDN/SS
pin controls the ramp rate on VOUT, the average inrush
current can be controlled through selection of CSS and
COUT. For example, a 4.7nF capacitor on SHDN/SS results
in a 4ms ramp time from 0.35V to 1.9V on the pin. If COUT
is 10µF, the 4ms VREF ramp time results in an average
COUT charge current of only 5mA (see Figure 2c).

Capacitor Selection
For best performance, it is recommended that low ESR
capacitors be used for CIN and COUT to reduce noise and
ripple. If the ESR of the output capacitor is too high
(> 0.5Ω), both efficiency and output load regulation may
be degraded. The CIN and COUT capacitors should be either
ceramic or tantalum and should be 10µF or greater. If the
input source impedance is very low (< 0.5Ω), CIN may not
be needed. Ceramic capacitors are recommended for the
flying caps C1 and C2 with values of 0.47µF to 2.2µF.
Smaller values may be used in low output current applications (e.g., IOUT < 10mA). For best performance choose
the same capacitance value for both C1 and C2.
Output Ripple
(a)
Normal LTC1503-X operation produces voltage ripple on
the VOUT pin. Output voltage ripple is required for the parts
to regulate. Low frequency ripple exists due to the hysteresis in the sense comparator and propagation delays in the
charge pump enable/disable circuits. High frequency ripple
is also present mainly from the ESR (equivalent series
resistance) in the output capacitor. Typical output ripple
(VIN = 3.6V) under maximum load is 25mV peak-to-peak
with a low ESR 10µF output capacitor.

The magnitude of ripple voltage depends on several factors. High input voltages increase the output ripple since
more charge is delivered to COUT per charging cycle. Large
output current load and/or a small output capacitor (< 10µF)
results in higher ripple due to higher output voltage dV/dt.
High ESR capacitors (ESR > 0.5Ω) on the output pin cause
high frequency voltage spikes on VOUT with every clock
cycle.
There are several ways to reduce the output voltage ripple
(see Figure 3). A larger COUT capacitor (22µF or greater)
will reduce both the low and high frequency ripple due to
the lower COUT charging and discharging dV/dt and the
lower ESR typically found with higher value (larger case
size) capacitors. A low ESR ceramic output capacitor will
minimize the high frequency ripple, but will not reduce the
low frequency ripple unless a high capacitance value is
chosen. A reasonable compromise is to use a 10µF to 22µF
tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 1µF to 3.3µF ceramic

For best regulation and noise performance, careful board
layout is required. Improper bypassing and grounding
may lead to poor load regulation and output ripple performance. All capacitors, especially CIN and COUT, must be as
close as possible to the VIN and VOUT pins. Connecting the
GND pin and all bypass capacitors to an uninterrupted
ground plane is also advised. See Figure 4 for recommended component placement and grounding.

Protection Features
The LTC1503-X contains both thermal shutdown and
short-circuit protection features. The charge pump will
shut down when the junction temperature reaches approximately 150°C and will resume operation once the
junction temperature has dropped back to 125°C. The part
will limit output current to 20mA (typ) when a short-circuit
condition (VOUT < 150mV) exists to prevent damage to the
internal switches. During start-up, the 20mA current limit
