The LTC
®
1261L is a switched-capacitor voltage inverter
designed to provide a regulated negative voltage from a
single positive supply. The LTC1261L operates from a
single 2.7V to 5.25V supply and provides an adjustable
output voltage from –1.23V to – 5V. The LTC1261L-4/
LTC1261L-4.5 needs a single 4.5V to 5.25V supply and
provides a fixed output voltage of – 4V to – 4.5V respec-
tively. Three external capacitors are required: a 0.1µF
flying capacitor and an input and output bypass capaci-
tors. An optional compensation capacitor at ADJ (COMP)
can be used to reduce the output voltage ripple.
Each version of the LTC1261L will supply up to 20mA
output current with guaranteed output regulation of
±3.5%.
The LTC1261L includes an open-drain REG output that
pulls low when the output is within 5% of the set value.
Quiescent current is typically 650µA when operating and
5µA in shutdown.
The LTC1261L is available in 8-pin MSOP and SO pack-
ages.

Note 1:
The Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which
the life of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
The output should never be set to exceed V
CC
– 10.8V.
Note 4:
The LTC1261L is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C and is designed, characterized and expected to meet these
extended commercial temperature limits, but is not tested at – 40°C and
85°C. Guaranteed I grade parts are available, consult factory.
Note 5:
The LTC1261L-4 and LTC1261L-4.5 will operate with less than the
minimum V

specified in the electrical characteristics table, but they are
not guaranteed to meet the
±3.5%

PIN FUNCTIONS
V
CC
(Pin 1):
Power Supply. This requires an input voltage
between 2.7V and 5.25V. V
CC
must be bypassed to
ground with at least a 1µF capacitor placed in close
proximity to the chip. See the Applications Information
section for details.
C1
+
(Pin 2):
C1 Positive Input. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor
between C1
+
and C1
–
.
C1
–
(Pin 3):
C1 Negative Input. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor
from C1
+
to C1
–
.
GND (Pin 4):
Ground. Connect to a low impedance
ground. A ground plane will help to minimize regulation
errors.
ADJ (COMP for fixed versions) (Pin 5):
Output Adjust/
Compensation Pin. For adjustable parts this pin is used
to set the output voltage. The output voltage is divided
down with an external resistor divider and fed back to this
pin to set the regulated output voltage. Typically the
resistor string should draw
≥
10µA from the output to
minimize errors due to the bias current at the adjust pin.
Fixed output voltage parts have the internal resistor
string connected to this pin inside the package. The pin
can be used to trim the output voltage if desired. It can
also be used as an optional feedback compensation pin to
reduce output ripple on both the adjustable and fixed
output voltage parts. See the Applications Information
section for more information on compensation and out-
put ripple.
OUT (Pin 6):
Negative Voltage Output. This pin must be
bypassed to ground with a 1µF or larger capacitor. The
value of the output capacitor and its ESR have a strong
effect on output ripple. See the Applications Information
section for more details.
REG (Pin 7):
This is an open-drain output that pulls low
when the output voltage is within 5% of the set value. It
will sink 5mA 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 V
CC
and can be
pulled up to 6V above ground without damage.
SHDN (Pin 8):
Shutdown. When this pin is at ground the
LTC1261L operates normally. An internal 5µA pull-down
keeps SHDN low if it is left floating. When SHDN is pulled
high, the LTC1261L enters shutdown mode. In shut-
down, the charge pump is disabled, the output collapses
to 0V and the quiescent current drops to 5µA typically.
