Available in 16-Pin Narrow SSOP Package
The LTC
®
1555L provides power conversion and level
shifting needed for low voltage GSM cellular telephones to
interface with either 3V or 5V Subscriber Identity Modules
(SIMs). The part contains a patented buck/boost charge
pump DC/DC converter* that delivers a regulated V
CC
supply voltage to the SIM card. Input voltage may range
from 2.6V to 6V allowing direct connection to the battery.
The output voltage may be programmed to 3V, 5V or direct
connection to the V
IN
pin.
Internal level translators allow controllers operating with
supplies as low as 1.425V to interface with 3V and 5V
SIMs. A soft-start feature limits inrush current at turn-on,
mitigating start-up problems that may result when the
input is supplied by another low-power DC/DC converter.
Battery life is maximized by 40µA operating current, and
1µA shutdown current. Board area is minimized by the
miniature 16-pin narrow SSOP packages and the need for
only three small external capacitors.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC1555LEGN 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:
The DATA and I/O pull-down drivers must also sink current
sourced by the internal pull-up resistor.

PIN FUNCTIONS
CIN (Pin 1):
Clock Input Pin from Controller.
RIN (Pin 2):
Reset Input Pin from Controller.
DATA (Pin 3):
Controller Side Data Input/Output Pin. Can
be used for single pin bidirectional data transfer between
the controller and the SIM card as long as the controller
data pin is open drain. The controller output must be able
to sink 1mA max when driving the DATA pin low due to the
internal pull-up resistors on the DATA and I/O pins. If the
controller data output is not open drain, then the DDRV pin
should be used for sending data to the SIM card and the
DATA pin used for receiving data from the SIM card.
DDRV (Pin 4):
Optional Data Input Pin for Sending Data to
the SIM Card. When not needed, the DDRV pin should
either be left floating or tied to DV
CC
(an internal 1µA
current source will pull the DDRV pin up to DV
CC
if left
floating).
DV
CC
(Pin 5):
Supply Voltage for Controller Side Digital
Input/Output Pins (typically 3V). May be between 1.425V
and 4.4V. The DV
CC
supply may be powered-down in
shutdown for further reduction in battery current. When
DV
CC
drops below 1.2V, the charge pump is disabled and
the LTC1555L goes into shutdown mode regardless of the
signals on the M0-M1 pins.

V
CC
(Pin 13):
SIM Card V
CC
Output. Should be connected
to the SIM V

CC
output voltage is deter-
mined by the M0-M1 pins (see Table 1). V
CC
is discharged
to GND during shutdown (M0, M1 = 0V). A 2.2µF low ESR
ouptut capacitor should connect close to the V
CC
pin.
I/O (Pin 14):
SIM Side I/O Pin. The pin is an open drain
output with a nominal pull-up resistance of 10kΩ and
should be connected to the SIM I/O contact. The SIM card
must sink up to 1mA max when driving the I/O pin low due
to the internal pull-up resistors on the I/O and DATA pins.
The I/O pin is held active low during shutdown.
RST (Pin 15):
Level Shifted Reset Output Pin. Should be
connected to the SIM RST contact.
CLK (Pin 16):
Level Shifted Clock Output Pin. Should be
connected to the SIM CLK contact. Careful trace routing is
recommended due to fast rise and fall edge speeds.
