The LTC®3260 is a low noise dual polarity output power
supply that includes an inverting charge pump with both
positive and negative LDO regulators. The charge pump
operates over a wide 4.5V to 32V input range and can
deliver up to 100mA of output current. Each LDO regulator
can provide up to 50mA of output current. The negative
LDO post regulator is powered from the charge pump
output. The LDO output voltages can be adjusted using
external resistor dividers.

The charge pump employs either low quiescent current
Burst Mode operation or low noise constant frequency
mode. In Burst Mode operation the charge pump VOUT
regulates to –0.94 • VIN, and the LTC3260 draws only
100µA of quiescent current with both LDO regulators on.
In constant frequency mode the charge pump produces
an output equal to –VIN and operates at a fixed 500kHz or
to a programmed value between 50kHz to 500kHz using
an external resistor. The LTC3260 is available in low profile (0.75mm) 3mm x 4mm 14-pin DFN and thermally
enhanced 16-pin MSOP packages.

LTC3260
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTC3260 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
TJ ≈ TA. The LTC3260E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3260I is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range, the LTC3260H is guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C
operating junction temperature range and the LTC3260MP is tested and
guaranteed over the full –55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature
range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with
these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance and
other environmental factors.
The junction temperature (TJ, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (TA, in °C) and power dissipation (PD, in Watts) according to
the formula:
TJ = TA + (PD • θJA),
where θJA = 43°C/W is the package thermal impedance.
Note 3: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperatures will exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is
active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating
junction temperature may result in device degradation or failure.

PIN FUNCTIONS
(DFN/MSOP)
EN+ (Pin 1/ Pin 1): Logic Input. A logic “high” on the EN+
pin enables the positive low dropout (LDO+) regulator.
RT (Pin 2/Pin 2): Input Connection for Programming the
Switching Frequency. The RT pin servos to a fixed 1.2V
when the EN– pin is driven to a logic “high”. A resistor
from RT to GND sets the charge pump switching frequency. If the RT pin is tied to GND, the switching frequency defaults to a fixed 500kHz.
BYP– (Pin 3/ Pin 3): LDO– Reference Bypass Pin. Connect
a capacitor from BYP– to GND to reduce LDO– output
noise. Leave floating if unused.
ADJ– (Pin 4/ Pin 4): Feedback Input for the Negative Low
Dropout Regulator. This pin servos to a fixed voltage of
–1.2V when the control loop is complete.
LDO– (Pin 5/ Pin 5): Negative Low Dropout (LDO–) Linear
Regulator Output. This pin requires a low ESR (equivalent
series resistance) capacitor with at least 2µF capacitance
to ground for stability.
VOUT (Pin 6/ Pin 6): Charge Pump Output Voltage. In constant frequency mode (MODE = low) this pin is driven
to –VIN. In Burst Mode operation, (MODE = high) this pin
voltage is regulated to –0.94 • VIN using an internal burst
comparator with hysteretic control.
C– (Pin 7/ Pin 7): Flying Capacitor Negative Connection.
C+ (Pin 8/ Pin 10): Flying Capacitor Positive Connection.
NC (Pins 8, 9 MSOP Only): No Connect. These pins are not
connected to the LTC3260 die. These pins should be left
floating, connected to ground or shorted to adjacent pins.
LDO+ (Pin 10/ Pin 12): Positive Low Dropout (LDO+)
Output. This pin requires a low ESR capacitor with at
least 2µF capacitance to ground for stability.
EN– (Pin 11/ Pin 13): Logic Input. A logic “high” on the
EN– pin enables the inverting charge pump as well as the
negative LDO regulator.
MODE (Pin 12/ Pin 14): Logic Input. The MODE pin determines the charge pump operating mode. A logic “high”
on the MODE pin forces the charge pump to operate in
Burst Mode operation regulating VOUT to approximately
–0.94 • VIN with hysteretic control. A logic “low” on the
MODE pin forces the charge pump to operate as an openloop inverter with a constant switching frequency. The
switching frequency in both modes is determined by an
external resistor from the RT pin to GND. In Burst Mode
operation, this represents the frequency of the burst
cycles before the part enters the low quiescent current
sleep state.
ADJ+ (Pin 13/ Pin 15): Feedback Input for the Positive
Low Dropout (LDO+) Regulator. This pin servos to a fixed
voltage of 1.2V when the control loop is complete.
BYP+ (Pin 14/Pin 16): LDO+ Reference Bypass Pin.
Connect a capacitor from BYP+ to GND to reduce LDO+
output noise. Leave floating if unused.
GND (Exposed Pad Pin 15/ Exposed Pad Pin 17): Ground.
The exposed package pad is ground and must be soldered
to the PC board ground plane for proper functionality and
for rated thermal performance.
VIN (Pin 9/ Pin 11): Input Voltage for Both Charge Pump
and Positive Low Dropout (LDO+) Regulator. VIN should
be bypassed with a low impedance ceramic capacitor.

OPERATION (Refer to the Operation)
The LTC3260 is a high voltage low noise dual output regulator. It includes an inverting charge pump and two LDO
regulators to generate bipolar low noise supply rails from
a single positive input. It supports a wide input power
supply range from 4.5V to 32V.
Shutdown Mode
In shutdown mode, all circuitry except the internal bias is
turned off. The LTC3260 is in shutdown when a logic low
is applied to both the enable inputs (EN+ and EN–). The
LTC3260 only draws 2µA (typical) from the VIN supply
in shutdown.
8
Charge Pump Constant Frequency Operation
The LTC3260 provides low noise constant frequency
operation when a logic low is applied to the MODE pin.
The charge pump and oscillator circuit are enabled using
the EN– pin. At the beginning of a clock cycle, switches S1
and S2 are closed. The external flying capacitor across the
C+ and C– pins is charged to the VIN supply. In the second
phase of the clock cycle, switches S1 and S2 are opened,
while switches S3 and S4 are closed. In this configuration
the C+ side of the flying capacitor is grounded and charge
is delivered through the C– pin to VOUT. In steady state
the VOUT pin regulates at –VIN less any voltage drop due
to the load current on VOUT or LDO.

LTC3260
OPERATION (Refer to the Block Diagram)
The charge transfer frequency can be adjusted between
50kHz and 500kHz using an external resistor on the RT
pin. At slower frequencies the effective open-loop output
resistance (ROL) of the charge pump is larger and it is able
to provide smaller average output current. Figure 1 can
be used to determine a suitable value of RT to achieve a
required oscillator frequency. If the RT pin is grounded,
the part operates at a constant frequency of 500kHz.
Charge Pump Soft-Start
500
The LTC3260 has built in soft-start circuitry to prevent
excessive current flow during start-up. The soft-start
is achieved by internal circuitry that slowly ramps the
amount of current available at the output storage capacitor. The soft-start circuitry is reset in the event of a commanded shutdown or thermal shutdown.

Charge Pump Burst Mode Operation
The LTC3260 provides low power Burst Mode operation
when a logic high is applied to the MODE pin. In Burst
Mode operation, the charge pump charges the VOUT pin to
–0.94 • VIN (typical). The part then shuts down the internal
oscillator to reduce switching losses and goes into a low
current state. This state is referred to as the sleep state in
which the IC consumes only about 100µA with both LDOs
enabled. When the output voltage droops enough to overcome the burst comparator hysteresis, the part wakes up
and commences charge pump cycles until output voltage
exceeds –0.94 • VIN (typical). This mode provides lower
operating current at the cost of higher output ripple and
is ideal for light load operation.
The frequency of charging cycles is set by the external
resistor on the RT pin. The charge pump has a lower
ROL at higher frequencies. For Burst Mode operation it is
recommended that the RT pin be tied to GND. This
The LTC3260 has built-in short-circuit current limit as
well as overtemperature protection. During a short-circuit
condition, the part automatically limits its output current
to approximately 160mA. If the junction temperature
exceeds approximately 175°C the thermal shutdown
circuitry disables current delivery to the output. Once
the junction temperature drops back to approximately
165°C current delivery to the output is resumed. When
thermal protection is active the junction temperature is
beyond the specified operating range. Thermal protection
is intended for momentary overload conditions outside
normal operation. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair
device reliability.
Positive Low Dropout Linear Regulator (LDO+)
The positive low dropout regulator (LDO+) supports a load
of up to 50mA. The LDO+ takes power from the VIN pin
and drives the LDO+ output pin to a voltage programmed
by the resistor divider connected between the LDO+, ADJ+
and GND pins. For stability, the LDO+ output must be
bypassed to ground with a low ESR ceramic capacitor that
maintains a capacitance of at least 2µF across operating
temperature and voltage.
The LDO+ is enabled or disabled via the EN+ logic input
pin. When the LDO+ is enabled, a soft-start circuit ramps
its regulation point from zero to the final value over a
period of 75µs, reducing the inrush current on VIN.

BYP+ pin to ground. This capacitor bypasses the internal

performance of the LDO+. If this function is not used the

Negative Low Dropout Linear Regulator (LDO–)
The negative low dropout regulator (LDO–) supports a
load of up to 50mA. The LDO– takes power from the VOUT
pin (output of the inverting charge pump) and drives the
LDO– output pin to a voltage programmed by the resistor divider connected between the LDO–, ADJ– and GND
pins. For stability, the LDO– output must be bypassed to
ground with a low ESR ceramic capacitor that maintains a
capacitance of at least 2µF across operating temperature
and voltage.

The LDO– output voltage VLDO– can be programmed by
choosing suitable values of R1 and R2 such that:
⎛ R1 ⎞
VLDO– = –1.2V • ⎜ + 1⎟
⎝ R2 ⎠
When the inverting charge pump is in Burst Mode operation (MODE = high), the typical hysteresis on the VOUT
pin is 2% of VIN voltage. The LDO– voltage should be set
high enough above VOUT in order to prevent LDO– from
entering dropout during normal operation.
An optional capacitor of 10nF can be connected from the
BYP– pin to ground. This capacitor bypasses the internal
–1.2V reference of the LTC3260 and improves the noise
performance of the LDO–. If this function is not used the
BYP – pin should be left floating.
In order to improve transient response, an optional
capacitor, CADJ–, may be used as shown in Figure 3. A
recommended value for CADJ– is 10pF. Experimentation
with capacitor values between 2pF and 22pF may yield
improved transient response.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Effective Open-Loop Output Resistance
The effective open-loop output resistance (ROL) of a
charge pump is a very important parameter which determines the strength of the charge pump. The value of this
parameter depends on many factors such as the oscillator
frequency (fOSC), value of the flying capacitor (CFLY), the
nonoverlap time, the internal switch resistances (RS) and
the ESR of the external capacitors.
Typical ROL values as a function of temperature are shown
in Figure 4.

higher minimum turn-on time. The peak-to-peak output ripple at the VOUT pin is approximately given by the
expression:
VRIPPLE(P-P) ≈
IOUT
COUT
⎤
⎡ 1
– tON ⎥
⎢
⎣ fOSC
⎦
where COUT is the value of the output capacitor, fOSC is the
oscillator frequency and tON is the on-time of the oscillator
(1µs typical).
Just as the value of COUT controls the amount of output
ripple, the value of CIN controls the amount of ripple present at the input (VIN) pin. The amount of bypass capacitance required at the input depends on the source impedance driving VIN. For best results it is recommended that
VIN be bypassed with at least 2µF of low ESR capacitance.
A high ESR capacitor such as tantalum or aluminum will
have higher input noise than a low ESR ceramic capacitor.
Therefore, a ceramic capacitor is recommended as the
main bypass capacitance with a tantalum or aluminum
capacitor used in parallel if desired.
Flying Capacitor Selection
3620 F04
Figure 4. Typical ROL vs Temperature
Input/Output Capacitor Selection
The style and value of capacitors used with the LTC3260
determine several important parameters such as regulator
control loop stability, output ripple, charge pump strength
and minimum turn-on time. To reduce noise and ripple,
it is recommended that low ESR ceramic capacitors be
used for the charge pump and LDO outputs. All capacitors
should retain at least 2µF of capacitance over operating
temperature and bias voltage. Tantalum and aluminum
capacitors can be used in parallel with a ceramic capacitor
to increase the total capacitance but should not be used
alone because of their high ESR. In constant frequency
mode, the value of COUT directly controls the amount of
output ripple for a given load current. Increasing the size
of COUT will reduce the output ripple at the expense of
The flying capacitor controls the strength of the charge
pump. A 1µF or greater ceramic capacitor is suggested
for the flying capacitor for applications requiring the full
rated output current of the charge pump.
For very light load applications, the flying capacitor may
be reduced to save space or cost. For example, a 0.2µF
capacitor might be sufficient for load currents up to 20mA.
A smaller flying capacitor leads to a larger effective openloop resistance (ROL) and thus limits the maximum load
current that can be delivered by the charge pump.
Ceramic Capacitors
Ceramic capacitors of different materials lose their capacitance with higher temperature and voltage at different
rates. For example, a capacitor made of X5R or X7R
material will retain most of its capacitance from –40°C
to 85°C whereas a Z5U or Y5V style capacitor will lose

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
considerable capacitance over that range. Z5U and Y5V
capacitors may also have a poor voltage coefficient causing them to lose 60% or more of their capacitance when
the rated voltage is applied. Therefore when comparing
different capacitors, it is often more appropriate to compare the amount of achievable capacitance for a given
case size rather than discussing the specified capacitance
value. The capacitor manufacture’s data sheet should be
consulted to ensure the desired capacitance at all temperatures and voltages. Table 1 is a list of ceramic capacitor
manufacturers and their websites.

Thermal Management
At high input voltages and maximum output current, there
can be substantial power dissipation in the LTC3260. If
the junction temperature increases above approximately
175°C, the thermal shutdown circuitry will automatically
deactivate the output. To reduce the maximum junction
temperature, a good thermal connection to the PC board
ground plane is recommended. Connecting the exposed
pad of the package to a ground plane under the device
on two layers of the PC board can reduce the thermal
resistance of the package and PC board considerably.
Derating Power at High Temperatures
Layout Considerations
Due to high switching frequency and high transient currents produced by LTC3260, careful board layout is necessary for optimum performance. A true ground plane
and short connections to all the external capacitors will
improve performance and ensure proper regulation under
all conditions. Figure 5 shows an example layout for the
LTC3260.
To prevent an overtemperature condition in high power
applications, Figure 6 should be used to determine the
maximum combination of ambient temperature and
power dissipation.
The power dissipated in the LTC3260 should always fall
under the line shown for a given ambient temperature. The
power dissipated in the LTC3260 has three components.
Power dissipated in the positive LDO:
PLDO+ = (VIN – VLDO+) • ILDO+
GND
Power dissipated in the negative LDO:
PLDO– = (|VOUT| – |VLDO–|) • ILDO– and

The flying capacitor nodes C+ and C– switch large currents at a high frequency. These nodes should not be
routed close to sensitive pins such as the LDO feedback
pins (ADJ+ and ADJ–) and internal reference bypass pins
(BYP+ and BYP–).
Power dissipated in the inverting charge pump:
PCP = (VIN – |VOUT|) • (IOUT + ILDO–)
where IOUT denotes any additional current that might be
pulled directly from the VOUT pin. The LDO– current is
also supplied by the charge pump through VOUT and is
therefore included in the charge pump power dissipation.
The total power dissipation of the LTC3260 is given by:

It is recommended that the LTC3260 be operated in the
region corresponding to TJ ≤ 150°C for continuous operation as shown in Figure 6. Operation beyond 150°C should
be avoided as it may degrade part performance and lifetime. At high temperatures, typically around 175°C, the
part is placed in thermal shutdown and all outputs are
disabled. When the part cools back down to a low enough
temperature, typically around 165°C, the outputs are reenabled and the part resumes normal operation.
