The LTC
®
1986 is a micropower charge pump DC/DC
converter that provides power for either 3V or 5V GSM
SIM cards. It operates in one of three modes: V
OUT
= 5V
(5V mode), V
OUT
= V
IN
(3V mode) or shutdown. The input
voltage range is 2.6V to 4.4V and the part can provide
10mA of output current. The LTC1986 allows V
IN
to drop
as low as 2.6V by providing a boost feature in 3V mode. In
3V mode, V
OUT
is connected directly to V
IN
through a 2.5Ω
switch until V
IN
drops below 2.85V. When V
IN
is below
2.85V, the part automatically boosts V
OUT
to maintain a
regulated 2.9V output, thereby ensuring V
OUT
stays within
the 3V SIM V
CC
specification.
Extremely low operating current (14µA typical with no
load) and low external parts count make the part ideally
suited for small, light load battery-powered applications.
The total PCB area of the application circuit shown below
is less than 0.045in
2
. Protection features include inrush
current limiting, undervoltage lockout, short circuit and
thermal overload protection. The LTC1986 is available in
a low profile (1mm) SOT-23 package.
