The LTC1550LCGN from Linear Technology is a charge pump DC-DC converter designed to generate a negative output voltage from a positive input. Operating from 2.7V to 5.5V, it produces an adjustable output from -1.225V to -4.8V with up to 20mA of current. Switching at 900kHz, it requires only small external capacitors, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. The 16-SSOP package is suitable for portable electronics needing a negative rail for analog circuits.
- Negative Output Generation: Creates a negative rail from a positive supply without a transformer or inductor.
- Adjustable Output (-1.225V to -4.8V): Flexible for various analog and display biasing needs.
- 900kHz Switching: Enables small external capacitors, reducing board space.
- Low 20mA Current: Sufficient for op-amps, references, and LCD bias circuits.
- Wide Input Range (2.7V-5.5V): Compatible with Li-Ion and USB power sources.
Negative Rail Generation
The LTC1550LCGN generates a negative supply from a positive input, essential for op-amps and analog circuits that require dual supplies in portable instruments.
Bias for LCD Displays
Many LCD panels need a negative bias voltage. This charge pump provides a stable -1.225V to -4.8V output, adjustable to match display requirements.
Sensor Conditioning
For pressure or temperature sensors with differential outputs, a negative rail improves dynamic range and accuracy in signal conditioning circuits.
Audio Equipment
Portable audio codecs and amplifiers often need a negative supply for headphone drivers. The LTC1550LCGN delivers a clean, low-noise negative rail.
Data Converters
High-resolution ADCs and DACs sometimes require a negative reference voltage. This charge pump provides a precise negative output for reference circuits.
Battery-Powered Devices
With 2.7V to 5.5V input, it operates from a single Li-Ion cell, generating a negative rail without a bulky inductor, saving space in compact designs.
