The LTC
®
1911 is a switched capacitor step-down DC/DC
converter that produces a 1.5V or 1.8V regulated output
from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. The part uses switched capaci-
tor fractional conversion to achieve high efficiency over the
entire input range. No inductors are required. Internal cir-
cuitry controls the step-down conversion ratio to optimize
efficiency as the input voltage and load conditions vary.*
Typical efficiency is over 25% higher than that of a linear
regulator.
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 output filtering to
further reduce conducted noise. To optimize efficiency,
the part enters Burst Mode
®
operation under light load
conditions.
Low operating current (180µA with no load, 10µA in
shutdown) and low external parts count (two 1µF flying
capacitors and two 10µF bypass capacitors) make the
LTC1911 ideally suited for space constrained battery-
powered applications. The part is short-circuit and
overtemperature protected, and is available in an 8-pin
MSOP package.

C1
+
(Pin 7):
Flying Capacitor One Positive Terminal.
SS/SHDN (Pin 8):
Soft-Start/Shutdown Control Pin. This
pin is designed to be driven with an external open-drain
output. Holding the SS/SHDN pin below 0.3V will force
the LTC1911-X into shutdown mode. An internal pull-up
current of 2µA will force the SS/SHDN 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 SS/SHDN pin and GND. Capaci-
tance on the SS/SHDN 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, the user
can control the inrush current for a known output capaci-
tor during turn-on (see Application Information). If nei-
ther of the two functions are desired, the pin may be left
floating or tied to V
IN
.
