The LTC1550LCS8-2 from Analog Devices is a charge pump DC-DC converter that generates a fixed -2V output from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. Capable of delivering 20mA, it operates at a 900kHz switching frequency, allowing for very small external capacitors. It is ideal for GaAs FET biasing, LCD contrast, and negative rail generation in compact, battery-powered systems.
- Fixed -2V Output: No external resistors required, simplifying the design and ensuring accurate output voltage.
- High Switching Frequency: 900kHz operation minimizes capacitor size, enabling ultra-compact PCB layouts.
- Wide Input Compatibility: Operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, suitable for both 3.3V and 5V systems.
- Low Output Noise: Charge pump design provides a clean negative rail for sensitive analog and RF circuits.
GaAs FET Gate Bias
The LTC1550LCS8-2 provides a precise -2V bias for GaAs FETs in RF amplifiers, ensuring optimal linearity and gain in cellular and wireless transmitters.
LCD Contrast Control
Many LCD modules require a -2V rail for contrast adjustment. This charge pump delivers a fixed -2V from a 2.7V-5.5V input, simplifying display driver designs.
Negative Supply for Op-Amps
In single-supply systems, this converter generates a -2V rail for op-amps that need a negative supply for true zero-output capability or level shifting.
Battery-Powered Instruments
Portable test equipment can use the LTC1550LCS8-2 to create a negative reference voltage for analog circuits, with the 900kHz frequency enabling small external components.
Sensor Biasing
Certain photodiodes and thermopiles require a negative bias to operate in the reverse-biased mode. This converter provides a stable -2V source for such sensors.
Audio Level Shifters
Audio circuits sometimes need a negative rail for headroom optimization. The LTC1550LCS8-2 offers a compact solution for generating -2V in portable audio devices.
