DESCRIPTION

The LTC®1550L/LTC1551L are switched capacitor charge pump voltage inverters which include internal linear post regulators to minimize output ripple. The LTC1550L fixed output voltage versions include –4.1V, –2.5V and –2V with ripple voltages typically below 1mVP-P. The LTC1550L is also available in an adjustable output voltage version. The LTC1550L/LTC1551L are ideal for use as bias voltage generators for GaAs transmitter FETs in portable RF and cellular telephone applications.
