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 condi-
tions vary. Typical efficiency is 25% higher than that of a
low dropout (LDO) linear regulator.
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 con-
strained battery-powered applications. The parts are fully
short-circuit and overtemperature protected.
The LTC1503-1.8/LTC1503-2 are available in 8-pin MSOP
and SO packages.

SHDN/SS (Pin 5):
Shutdown/Soft-Start Control. The pin
is designed to be driven with an external open-drain
output. Holding the SHDN/SS pin below 0.25V will force
the part into shutdown mode. An internal pull-up current
of 2µA will force the SHDN/SS voltage to climb to V
IN
once
the device driving the pin is forced into a Hi-Z state. To
limit inrush current on start-up, connect a capacitor
between the SHDN/SS pin and ground. Capacitance on
the SHDN/SS pin will limit the dV/dt of the pin during turn-
on which, in turn, will limit the dV/dt of V
OUT
. By selecting
an appropriate soft-start capacitor for a known output
capacitor, the user can control the inrush current during
