DescripTion
The LTC
®
3260 is a low noise dual polarity output power
supply that includes an inverting charge pump with both
positive and negative LDO regulators. 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 V
OUT
regulates to
–0.94 •
V
IN
, and the LTC3260 draws only
100µA of quiescent current with both LDO regulators on.
In constant frequency mode the charge pump produces
an output equal to –V
IN
and operates at a fixed 500kHz
or to a programmed value between 50kHz to 500kHz us-
ing 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.

elecTrical characTerisTics
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 LTC3260 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3260E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3260I is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range, the LTC3260H is guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C
operating junction temperature range and the LTC3260MP is tested and
guaranteed over the full –55°C to 150°C 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 (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in Watts) according to
the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
),
where
θ
JA
= 43°C/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 150°C when overtemperature protection is
active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating
junction temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
