The LTC
®
3250-1.5/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 typi-
cal efficiency two times higher than that of a linear regu-
lator. 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 (f
OSC
= 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 appli-
cations. The parts are short-circuit and overtemperature
protected, and are available in a low profile (1mm) 6-pin

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Based on long term current density limitations.
Note 3:
The LTC3250-1.5E/LTC3250-1.2E are guaranteed to meet
specified performance from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C
and 85°C operating temperature range are assured by design
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.

.
Note 5:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
