FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®1502-3.3 is a quadrupler charge pump DC/DC
converter that produces a regulated 3.3V output from a
singlealkalinecellinput. Itrequiresonlyfivesmallexternal
capacitors—no inductors are required. Low supply cur-
rent(40µAtypical, 5µAinshutdown)andminimalexternal
components make the LTC1502-3.3 ideal for space and
powerconscioussingle-cellapplications.Thetotalprinted
circuit board area of the circuit shown below is less than
0.125in2.
Forcing the C1–/SHDN pin low through an external resis-
tive pull-down puts the part into shutdown mode. During
shutdown, the internal oscillator is stopped and the load is
disconnected from VIN. An internal pull-up current on the
C1–/SHDN pin forces the part back into normal operation
once the pull-down resistance is removed.
