DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
4555 provides power conversion and signal
level shifting needed for low voltage 2.5G and 3G cellular
telephones to interface with 1.8V or 3V subscriber identity
modules (SIMs). The part meets all type approval require-
ments for 1.8V and 3V SIMs and smart cards. The part
contains an LDO linear regulator to supply SIM power at
either 1.8V or 3V from a 3V to 6V input. The output volt-
age is selected with a single pin and up to 50mA of load
current can be supplied.
Internal level translators allow controllers operating with
supplies as low as 1.2V to interface with 1.8V or 3V smart
cards. Battery life is maximized by 20μA operating current
and <1μA shutdown current. Board area is minimized by
the 3mm
×
3mm leadless QFN package.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC4555E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SHDN
(Pin 1):
Controller Driven Shutdown Pin. This pin
should be high (DV
CC
) for normal operation and low to
activate a low current shutdown mode.
V
SEL
(Pin 2):
V
CC
Voltage Select Pin. A low level selects V
CC
= 1.8V while driving this pin to DV
CC
selects V
CC
= 3V.
DV
CC
(Pin 3):
Supply Voltage for the Controller Side I/O
Pins (C
IN
, R
IN
, DATA). When below 1.1V, the V
CC
supply
is disabled. This pin should be bypassed with a 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor close to the pin.
NC (Pins 4, 6, 12, 16):
No Connect.
V
BAT
(Pin 5):
V
CC
Supply Input. This pin can be between
3V and 6V for normal operation. V
BAT
quiescent current
reduces to <1μA in shutdown. This pin should be bypassed
with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor close to the pin.
V
CC
(Pin 7):
SIM Card V
CC
Supply. A 1μF low ESR capacitor
needs to be connected close to the V
CC
pin for stable opera-
tion. This pin is discharged to GND during shutdown.
I/O (Pin 8):
SIM-Side Data I/O. The SIM card output must
be on an open-drain driver capable of sourcing >1mA.
RST (Pin 9):
Reset Output Pin for the SIM Card.
GND (Pin 10):
Ground for the SIM and Controller. Proper
grounding and bypassing is required to meet 14kV ESD
specifications.
CLK (Pin 11):
Clock Output Pin for the SIM Card. This
pin is pulled to ground during shutdown. Fast rising and
falling edges necessitate careful board layout for the CLK
node.
C
IN
(Pin 13):
Clock Input from the Controller.
R
IN
(Pin 14):
Reset Input from the Controller.
DATA (Pin 15):
Controller Side Data I/O. This pin is used
for bidirectional data transfer. The controller output must
be an open-drain configuration. The open-drain output
must be capable of sinking greater than 1mA.
Exposed Pad (Pin 17):
GND. Must be soldered to PCB.
