The LT
®
1614 is a fixed frequency, inverting mode switch-
ing reglator that operates from an input voltage as low as
1V. Utilizing a low noise topology, the LT1614 can gener-
ate a negative output down to – 24V from a 1V to 5V input.
Fixed frequency switching ensures a clean output free
from low frequency noise. The device contains a low-
battery detector with a 200mV reference and shuts down
to less than 10µA. No load quiescent current of the LT1614
is 1mA and the internal NPN power switch handles a
500mA current with a voltage drop of just 295mV.
High frequency switching enables the use of small induc-
tors and capacitors. Ceramic capacitors can be used in
many applications, eliminating the need for bulky tanta-
lum types.
The LT1614 is available in 8-lead MSOP or SO packages.

PIN FUNCTIONS
NFB (Pin 1):
Negative Feedback Pin. Reference voltage is
– 1.24V. Connect resistive divider tap here. The sug-
gested value for R2 is 24.9k. Set R1 and R2 according to:
GND (Pin 4):
Ground. Connect directly to local ground
plane.
SW (Pin 5):
Switch Pin. Minimize trace area at this pin to
keep EMI down.
V
IN
(Pin 6):
Supply Pin. Must have 1µF ceramic bypass
capacitor right at the pin, connected directly to ground.
LBI (Pin 7):
Low-Battery Detector Input. 200mV refer-
ence. Voltage on LBI must stay between ground and
700mV. Float this pin if not used.
LBO (Pin 8):
Low-Battery Detector Output. Open collec-
tor, can sink 10µA. A 1MΩ pull-up is recommended. Float
this pin if not used. The low-battery detector is disabled
when SHDN is low. LBO is high-Z in this state.

R2
V
C
(Pin 2):
Compensation Pin for Error Amplifier. Con-
nect a series RC from this pin to ground. Typical values
are 100kΩ and 1nF. Minimize trace area at V
C
.
SHDN (Pin 3):
Shutdown. Ground this pin to turn off
switcher. Must be tied to V
IN
(or higher voltage) to enable
switcher. Do not float the SHDN pin.
