input current consumption

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: LTC3265

Hi,

I want to know how to calculate input current of LTC3265. I considered IVIN_P Quiescent current = 6mA,IVIN_N Quiescent current = 5mA.

We have Vin 15V,

Vout LDO + 18.7, 37mA

Vout LDO-  -5.7,17mA.

what is input current ?

  • Hello,

    The input current for the VOUT+ charge pump is 2x IOUT+ + Iq for VINP. IOUT+ is ILDO+ (If VIN_N and VIN_P are both connected to the same supply.) The input current for VOUT- is ILDO- + Iq VIN_N. The input current should be close to 6mA + 2x 37mA + 5mA + 17mA = 102mA. This did not include the current in the FB network or other pull-down currents in the circuit.
