The LTC3250-1.5/LTC3250-1.2 are charge pump step-down 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 over-temperature protected, and are available in a low profile (1mm) 6-pin ThinSOT™ package.
