The charge pump operates over a wide 4.5V to 32V input range and can deliver up to 100mA of output current. Each LDO regulator can provide up to 50mA of output current. The negative LDO post regulator is powered from the charge pump output. The LDO output voltages can be adjusted using external resistor dividers. The charge pump employs either low quiescent current Burst Mode operation or low noise constant frequency mode. In Burst Mode operation the charge pump VOUT regulates to -0.94 * VIN, and the LTC3260 draws only 100A of quiescent current with both LDO regulators on. In constant frequency mode the charge pump produces an output equal to -VIN and operates at a fixed 500kHz or to a programmed value between 50kHz to 500kHz using an external resistor. The LTC3260 is available in low profile (0.75mm) 3mm x 4mm 14-pin DFN and thermally enhanced 16-pin MSOP packages.

Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Note 2: The LTC3260 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that TJ TA. The LTC3260E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0C to 85C junction temperature. Specifications over the -40C to 125C operating junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3260I is guaranteed over the -40C to 125C operating junction temperature range, the LTC3260H is guaranteed over the -40C to 150C operating junction temperature range and the LTC3260MP is tested and guaranteed over the full -55C to 150C operating junction temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance and other environmental factors. The junction temperature (TJ, in C) is calculated from the ambient temperature (TA, in C) and power dissipation (PD, in Watts) according to the formula: TJ = TA + (PD * JA), where JA = 43C/W is the package thermal impedance. Note 3: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperatures will exceed 150C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may result in device degradation or failure.

A logic "high" on the EN+ pin enables the positive low dropout (LDO+) regulator. RT (Pin 2/Pin 2): Input Connection for Programming the Switching Frequency. The RT pin servos to a fixed 1.2V when the EN- pin is driven to a logic "high". A resistor from RT to GND sets the charge pump switching frequency. If the RT pin is tied to GND, the switching frequency defaults to a fixed 500kHz. BYP- (Pin 3/ Pin 3): LDO- Reference Bypass Pin. Connect a capacitor from BYP- to GND to reduce LDO- output noise. Leave floating if unused. ADJ- (Pin 4/ Pin 4): Feedback Input for the Negative Low Dropout Regulator. This pin servos to a fixed voltage of -1.2V when the control loop is complete. LDO- (Pin 5/ Pin 5): Negative Low Dropout (LDO-) Linear Regulator Output. This pin requires a low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitor with at least 2F capacitance to ground for stability. VOUT (Pin 6/ Pin 6): Charge Pump Output Voltage. In constant frequency mode (MODE = low) this pin is driven to -VIN. In Burst Mode operation, (MODE = high) this pin voltage is regulated to -0.94 * VIN using an internal burst comparator with hysteretic control. C- (Pin 7/ Pin 7): Flying Capacitor Negative Connection. C+ (Pin 8/ Pin 10): Flying Capacitor Positive Connection. NC (Pins 8, 9 MSOP Only): No Connect. These pins are not connected to the LTC3260 die. These pins should be left floating, connected to ground or shorted to adjacent pins. LDO+ (Pin 10/ Pin 12): Positive Low Dropout (LDO+) Output. This pin requires a low ESR capacitor with at least 2F capacitance to ground for stability. EN- (Pin 11/ Pin 13): Logic Input. A logic "high" on the EN- pin enables the inverting charge pump as well as the negative LDO regulator. MODE (Pin 12/ Pin 14): Logic Input. The MODE pin determines the charge pump operating mode. A logic "high" on the MODE pin forces the charge pump to operate in Burst Mode operation regulating VOUT to approximately -0.94 * VIN with hysteretic control. A logic "low" on the MODE pin forces the charge pump to operate as an openloop inverter with a constant switching frequency. The switching frequency in both modes is determined by an external resistor from the RT pin to GND. In Burst Mode operation, this represents the frequency of the burst cycles before the part enters the low quiescent current sleep state. ADJ+ (Pin 13/ Pin 15): Feedback Input for the Positive Low Dropout (LDO+) Regulator. This pin servos to a fixed voltage of 1.2V when the control loop is complete. BYP+ (Pin 14/Pin 16): LDO+ Reference Bypass Pin. Connect a capacitor from BYP+ to GND to reduce LDO+ output noise. Leave floating if unused. GND (Exposed Pad Pin 15/ Exposed Pad Pin 17): Ground. The exposed package pad is ground and must be soldered to the PC board ground plane for proper functionality and for rated thermal performance. VIN (Pin 9/ Pin 11): Input Voltage for Both Charge Pump and Positive Low Dropout (LDO+) Regulator. VIN should be bypassed with a low impedance ceramic capacitor. 3260fa 7 LTC3260 Block Diagram Note: Pin numbers are as per DFN package.

It includes an inverting charge pump and two LDO regulators to generate bipolar low noise supply rails from a single positive input. It supports a wide input power supply range from 4.5V to 32V. Shutdown Mode In shutdown mode, all circuitry except the internal bias is turned off. The LTC3260 is in shutdown when a logic low is applied to both the enable inputs (EN+ and EN-). The LTC3260 only draws 2A (typical) from the VIN supply in shutdown. Charge Pump Constant Frequency Operation The LTC3260 provides low noise constant frequency operation when a logic low is applied to the MODE pin. The charge pump and oscillator circuit are enabled using the EN- pin. At the beginning of a clock cycle, switches S1 and S2 are closed. The external flying capacitor across the C+ and C- pins is charged to the VIN supply. In the second phase of the clock cycle, switches S1 and S2 are opened, while switches S3 and S4 are closed. In this configuration the C+ side of the flying capacitor is grounded and charge is delivered through the C- pin to VOUT. In steady state the VOUT pin regulates at -VIN less any voltage drop due to the load current on VOUT or LDO. 3260fa 8 LTC3260 Operation (Refer to the Block Diagram) The charge transfer frequency can be adjusted between 50kHz and 500kHz using an external resistor on the RT pin. At slower frequencies the effective open-loop output resistance (ROL) of the charge pump is larger and it is able to provide smaller average output current. Figure 1 can be used to determine a suitable value of RT to achieve a required oscillator frequency. If the RT pin is grounded, the part operates at a constant frequency of 500kHz. Charge Pump Soft-Start 500 The LTC3260 has built in soft-start circuitry to prevent excessive current flow during start-up. The soft-start is achieved by internal circuitry that slowly ramps the amount of current available at the output storage capacitor. The soft-start circuitry is reset in the event of a commanded shutdown or thermal shutdown. 400 Charge Pump Short-Circuit/Thermal Protection 600 OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY (kHz) mizes the charge pump ROL, quickly charges the output up to the burst threshold and optimizes the duration of the low current sleep state. 300 200 100 0 1 10 100 RT (k) 1000 10000 3260 F01 Figure 1. Oscillator Frequency vs RT Charge Pump Burst Mode Operation The LTC3260 provides low power Burst Mode operation when a logic high is applied to the MODE pin. In Burst Mode operation, the charge pump charges the VOUT pin to -0.94 * VIN (typical). The part then shuts down the internal oscillator to reduce switching losses and goes into a low current state. This state is referred to as the sleep state in which the IC consumes only about 100A with both LDOs enabled. When the output voltage droops enough to overcome the burst comparator hysteresis, the part wakes up and commences charge pump cycles until output voltage exceeds -0.94 * VIN (typical). This mode provides lower operating current at the cost of higher output ripple and is ideal for light load operation. The frequency of charging cycles is set by the external resistor on the RT pin. The charge pump has a lower ROL at higher frequencies. For Burst Mode operation it is recommended that the RT pin be tied to GND. This mini- The LTC3260 has built-in short-circuit current limit as well as overtemperature protection. During a short-circuit condition, the part automatically limits its output current to approximately 160mA. If the junction temperature exceeds approximately 175C the thermal shutdown circuitry disables current delivery to the output. Once the junction temperature drops back to approximately 165C current delivery to the output is resumed. When thermal protection is active the junction temperature is beyond the specified operating range. Thermal protection is intended for momentary overload conditions outside normal operation. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability. Positive Low Dropout Linear Regulator (LDO+) The positive low dropout regulator (LDO+) supports a load of up to 50mA. The LDO+ takes power from the VIN pin and drives the LDO+ output pin to a voltage programmed by the resistor divider connected between the LDO+, ADJ+ and GND pins. For stability, the LDO+ output must be bypassed to ground with a low ESR ceramic capacitor that maintains a capacitance of at least 2F across operating temperature and voltage. The LDO+ is enabled or disabled via the EN+ logic input pin. When the LDO+ is enabled, a soft-start circuit ramps its regulation point from zero to the final value over a period of 75s, reducing the inrush current on VIN. 3260fa 9 LTC3260 Operation (Refer to the Block Diagram) Figure 2 shows the LDO+ regulator application circuit. The LDO+ output voltage VLDO+ can be programmed by choosing suitable values of R1 and R2 such that: R1 VLDO+ = 1.2V * + 1 R2 An optional capacitor of 10nF can be connected from the BYP+ pin to ground. This capacitor bypasses the internal 1.2V reference of the LTC3260 and improves the noise performance of the LDO+. If this function is not used the BYP+ pin should be left floating.

The LDO- takes power from the VOUT pin (output of the inverting charge pump) and drives the LDO- output pin to a voltage programmed by the resistor divider connected between the LDO-, ADJ- and GND pins. For stability, the LDO- output must be bypassed to ground with a low ESR ceramic capacitor that maintains a capacitance of at least 2F across operating temperature and voltage. The LDO- is enabled or disabled via the EN- logic input pin. Initially, when the EN- logic input is low, the charge pump circuitry is disabled and the VOUT pin is at GND. When EN- is switched high, the VOUT pin will be driven negative by the charge pump circuitry. Soft-start circuitry in the charge pump also provides soft-start functionality for the LDO- and prevents excessive inrush currents. Figure 3 shows the LDO- regulator application circuit. The LDO- output voltage VLDO- can be programmed by choosing suitable values of R1 and R2 such that: R1 VLDO - = -1.2V * + 1 R2 When the inverting charge pump is in Burst Mode operation (MODE = high), the typical hysteresis on the VOUT pin is 2% of VIN voltage. The LDO- voltage should be set high enough above VOUT in order to prevent LDO- from entering dropout during normal operation. An optional capacitor of 10nF can be connected from the BYP- pin to ground. This capacitor bypasses the internal -1.2V reference of the LTC3260 and improves the noise performance of the LDO-. If this function is not used the BYP - pin should be left floating. In order to improve transient response, an optional capacitor, CADJ-, may be used as shown in Figure 3. A recommended value for CADJ- is 10pF. Experimentation with capacitor values between 2pF and 22pF may yield improved transient response. -1.2V REF LTC3260 GND BYP- CBYP- ADJ- EN- LDO- 1 CADJ- R2 R1 COUT LDO OUTPUT 3260 F03 0 VOUT Figure 3: Negative LDO Application Circuit 3260fa 10 LTC3260 Applications Information Effective Open-Loop Output Resistance The effective open-loop output resistance (ROL) of a charge pump is a very important parameter which determines the strength of the charge pump. The value of this parameter depends on many factors such as the oscillator frequency (fOSC), value of the flying capacitor (CFLY), the nonoverlap time, the internal switch resistances (RS) and the ESR of the external capacitors. Typical ROL values as a function of temperature are shown in Figure 4 EFFECTIVE OPEN-LOOP RESISTANCE () 60 fOSC = 500kHz 50 40 30 20 VIN = 32V VIN = 25V VIN = 12V 10 0 -50 -25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 TEMPERATURE (C) 3620 F04 Figure 4. Typical ROL vs Temperature Input/Output Capacitor Selection The style and value of capacitors used with the LTC3260 determine several important parameters such as regulator control loop stability, output ripple, charge pump strength and minimum turn-on time. To reduce noise and ripple, it is recommended that low ESR ceramic capacitors be used for the charge pump and LDO outputs. All capacitors should retain at least 2F of capacitance over operating temperature and bias voltage. Tantalum and aluminum capacitors can be used in parallel with a ceramic capacitor to increase the total capacitance but should not be used alone because of their high ESR. In constant frequency mode, the value of COUT directly controls the amount of output ripple for a given load current. Increasing the size of COUT will reduce the output ripple at the expense of higher minimum turn-on time. The peak-to-peak output ripple at the VOUT pin is approximately given by the expression: VRIPPLE(P-P) IOUT COUT 1 - tON fOSC where COUT is the value of the output capacitor, fOSC is the oscillator frequency and tON is the on-time of the oscillator (1s typical). Just as the value of COUT controls the amount of output ripple, the value of CIN controls the amount of ripple present at the input (VIN) pin. The amount of bypass capacitance required at the input depends on the source impedance driving VIN. For best results it is recommended that VIN be bypassed with at least 2F of low ESR capacitance. A high ESR capacitor such as tantalum or aluminum will have higher input noise than a low ESR ceramic capacitor. Therefore, a ceramic capacitor is recommended as the main bypass capacitance with a tantalum or aluminum capacitor used in parallel if desired. Flying Capacitor Selection The flying capacitor controls the strength of the charge pump. A 1F or greater ceramic capacitor is suggested for the flying capacitor for applications requiring the full rated output current of the charge pump. For very light load applications, the flying capacitor may be reduced to save space or cost. For example, a 0.2F capacitor might be sufficient for load currents up to 20mA. A smaller flying capacitor leads to a larger effective openloop resistance (ROL) and thus limits the maximum load current that can be delivered by the charge pump. Ceramic Capacitors Ceramic capacitors of different materials lose their capacitance with higher temperature and voltage at different rates. For example, a capacitor made of X5R or X7R material will retain most of its capacitance from -40C to 85C whereas a Z5U or Y5V style capacitor will lose considerable capacitance over that range. Z5U and Y5V capacitors may 3260fa 11 LTC3260 Applications Information also have a poor voltage coefficient causing them to lose 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. The capacitor manufacture's data sheet should be consulted to ensure the desired capacitance at all temperatures and voltages. Table 1 is a list of ceramic capacitor manufacturers and their websites. Table 1 AVX www.avxcorp.com Kemet www.kemet.com Murata www.murata.com Taiyo Yuden www.t-yuden.com Vishay www.vishay.com TDK www.component.tdk.com The flying capacitor nodes C+ and C- switch large currents at a high frequency. These nodes should not be routed close to sensitive pins such as the LDO feedback pins (ADJ+ and ADJ-) and internal reference bypass pins (BYP+ and BYP-). Thermal Management At high input voltages and maximum output current, there can be substantial power dissipation in the LTC3260. If the junction temperature increases above approximately 175C, the thermal shutdown circuitry will automatically deactivate the output. To reduce the maximum junction temperature, a good thermal connection to the PC board ground plane is recommended. Connecting the exposed pad of the package to a ground plane under the device on two layers of the PC board can reduce the thermal resistance of the package and PC board considerably. Layout Considerations Derating Power at High Temperatures Due to high switching frequency and high transient currents produced by LTC3260, careful board layout is necessary for optimum performance. A true ground plane and short connections to all the external capacitors will improve performance and ensure proper regulation under all conditions. Figure 5 shows an example layout for the LTC3260. To prevent an overtemperature condition in high power applications, Figure 6 should be used to determine the maximum combination of ambient temperature and power dissipation. Power dissipated in the positive LDO: GND PLDO+ = (VIN - VLDO+) * ILDO+ Power dissipated in the negative LDO: CFLY VIN VOUT CBYP- LDO+ LDO- GND 3260 F05 Figure 5. Recommended Layout PLDO- = (|VOUT| - |VLDO-|) * ILDO- and Power dissipated in the inverting charge pump: PCP = (VIN - |VOUT|) * (IOUT + ILDO-) where IOUT denotes any additional current that might be pulled directly from the VOUT pin. The LDO- current is also supplied by the charge pump through VOUT and is therefore included in the charge pump power dissipation. RT CBYP+ The power dissipated in the LTC3260 should always fall under the line shown for a given ambient temperature. The power dissipated in the LTC3260 has three components. The total power dissipation of the LTC3260 is given by: PD = PLDO+ + PLDO- + PCP 3260fa 12 LTC3260 Applications Information MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION (W) 6 The derating curve in Figure 6 assumes a maximum thermal resistance, JA, of 43C/W for the package. This can be achieved with a four layer PCB that includes 2oz Cu traces and six vias from the exposed pad of the LTC3260 to the ground plane. JA = 43C/W 5 4 3 2 1 It is recommended that the LTC3260 be operated in the region corresponding to TJ 150C for continuous operation as shown in Figure 6. Operation beyond 150C should be avoided as it may degrade part performance and lifetime. At high temperatures, typically around 175C, the part is placed in thermal shutdown and all outputs are disabled. When the part cools back down to a low enough temperature, typically around 165C, the outputs are reenabled and the part resumes normal operation.
