Package
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 con-
verts 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.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC1928ES6-5 is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 70°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:
Dropout voltage is the minimum input/output voltage required to
maintain regulation at the specified output current. In dropout the output
voltage will be equal to: V

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 4:
Operating conditions are limited by maximum junction
temperature. The regulated output specification will not apply for all
possible combinations of input voltage and output current. When
operating at maximum input voltage, the output current range may be
limited. When operating at maximum output current, the input voltage
range may be limited.
Note 5:
CN/SHDN must be driven with a source impedance of at least
100Ω (R
SOURCE
) to prevent damage to the part. This pin is multiplexed
and may be connected through a low switch impedance to V
IN
. There may
be a large amount of current (V
IN
/R
SOURCE
) until the shutdown state
occurs after which the charge pump switches at CN/SHDN become high
impedance and the current will fall to < 8µA.

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 capaci-
tance 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. Approxi-
mately 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
powers an internal low dropout linear regulator that sup-
plies a regulated output at V
OUT
. Internal comparators are
used to sense CPO and V
IN
voltages for power-up condi-
tioning. 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 effi-
ciency. The switch edge rates are also controlled to mini-
mize 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 ca-
pacitor 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
internal reference and resistor divider. The LDO requires a
capacitor on V
OUT
for stability and improved load transient
response. A low ESR capacitor of
≥2µF
should be used.
Maximum I
OUT
Calculations
The maximum available current can be calculated based
on the open circuit CPO voltage, the dropout voltage of the
LDO and the effective output resistance of the charge
pump. The open circuit CPO voltage is approximately 2V
IN
(see Figure 2).
Example:
V
IN
= 3V
V
OUT
= 5V
R
CPO
= 30Ω
Maximum unloaded CPO voltage = 2V
IN
= 6V
V
DROPOUT(MAX)
= 100mV
I
OUT(MAX)
= (2V
IN
– V
DROPOUT(MAX)
– V
OUT
)/R
CPO
= (6V – 0.1V – 5V)/30Ω = 30mA
V
CPO
must be greater than 1.45V
IN
= 4.35V. To confirm
this, calculate V
CPO
:
V
CPO
= 6V – (30mA • 30Ω) = 5.1V
For minimum noise applications the LDO must be kept out
of dropout to prevent CPO noise from coupling into V
OUT
.
