DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
1928-5
is a doubler charge pump with an internal
low noise, low dropout (LDO) linear regulator. The part is
designed to provide a low noise boosted supply voltage for
powering noise sensitive devices such as high frequency
VCOs in wireless applications.
An internal charge pump converts a 2.7V to 4.4V input to a
boosted output, while the internal LDO regulator converts
the boosted voltage to a low noise regulated output. The
regulator is capable of supplying up to 30mA of output
current. Shutdown reduces the supply current to <8µA,
removes the load from V
IN
by disabling the regulator and
discharges V
OUT
to ground through a 200Ω switch.
The LTC1928-5 LDO regulator is stable with only 2µF on
the output. Small ceramic capacitors can be used, reduc-
ing PC board area.
The LTC1928-5 is short-circuit and overtemperature pro-
tected. The part is available in a 6-pin low profile (1mm)
ThinSOT package.

PIN FUNCTIONS
V
IN
(Pin 1):
Input Voltage, 2.7V to 4.4V. V
IN
should be
bypassed with a ≥2µF low ESR capacitor as close to the pin
as possible for best performance. A minimum capacitance
value of 0.1µF is required.
GND (Pin 2):
System Ground.
V
OUT
(Pin 3):
Low Noise Regulated Output Voltage. V
OUT
should be bypassed with a ≥2µF low ESR capacitor as
close to the pin as possible for best performance. The
V
OUT
voltage is internally set to 5V.
CPO (Pin 4):
Boosted Unregulated Voltage. Approximately
1.95V
IN
at low loads. Bypass with a ≥2µF low ESR capacitor.
CP (Pin 5):
Flying Capacitor Positive Input.
CN/SHDN (Pin 6):
Flying Capacitor Negative Input and
SHDN.
When this pin is pulled to ground through a 100Ω
resistor, the part will go into shutdown within approxi-
mately 30µs.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Operation
The LTC1928-5 uses a switched-capacitor charge pump to
generate a CPO voltage of approximately 2V
IN
. CPO pow-
ers an internal low dropout linear regulator that supplies
a regulated output at V
OUT
. Internal comparators are used
to sense CPO and V
IN
voltages for power-up conditioning.
The output current is sensed to determine the charge pump
operating mode. A trimmed internal bandgap is used as
the voltage reference and a trimmed internal oscillator is
used to control the charge pump switches.
The charge pump is a doubler configuration that uses
one external flying capacitor. When enabled, a 2-phase
nonoverlapping clock controls the charge pump switches.
At start-up, the LDO is disabled and the load is removed
from CPO. When CPO reaches 1.75V
IN
the LDO is enabled.
If CPO falls below 1.45V
IN
the LDO will be disabled. Gen-
erally, the charge pump runs open loop with continuous
clocking for low noise. If CPO is greater than 1.95V
IN
and
I
OUT
is less than 200µA, the charge pump will operate in
Burst Mode operation for increased efficiency but slightly
higher output noise. In Burst Mode operation, the clock
is disabled when CPO reaches 1.95V
IN
and enabled when
CPO droops by about 150mV. The switching frequency is
precisely controlled to ensure that the frequency is above
455kHz and at the optimum rate to ensure maximum
efficiency. The switch edge rates are also controlled to
minimize noise. The effective output resistance at CPO is
dependent on the voltage at V
IN
, CPO, the flying capacitor
value C
FLY
and the junction temperature. A low ESR capaci-
tor of ≥2µF should be used at CPO for minimum noise.
The LDO is used to filter the ripple on CPO and to set an
output voltage independent of CPO. V
OUT
is set by an in-
