Product details
Overview
ADP1108AN-3.3 from Analog Devices is a micropower step-up/step-down DC-DC converter IC with fixed 3.3 V output, internal 1 A power switch, programmable current limit, and on-chip low-battery detector. It operates from 2.0 V to 30 V input, delivers up to 300 mA in step-down mode, and consumes only 90 µA quiescent current-ideal for battery-powered portable instruments and LCD bias generation.
For engineers reviewing the ADP1108AN-3.3 datasheet, ADP1108AN-3.3 pinout, ADP1108AN-3.3 application, or ADP1108AN-3.3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-mode topology support, 3.3 V ±4.5% output tolerance at full load, 19 kHz oscillator frequency, ILIM-programmable switch current, and compatibility with DIP-8 PCB layouts for legacy industrial designs.
Technical Context
The ADP1108AN-3.3 implements a gated-oscillator control architecture with an internal 1.245 V reference and comparator-based regulation loop. Its dual-access power switch (SW1 collector, SW2 emitter) enables both boost and buck topologies using external inductor/diode networks without additional driver circuitry.
It integrates an auxiliary gain block (SET/AO pins) configurable as a low-battery detector or error amplifier, and supports current limiting via resistor between ILIM and VIN-enabling precise peak switch current control from 400 mA to 1.5 A depending on resistor value and operating mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V, guaranteed 3.13–3.46 V across temperature and load per spec |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 12.6 V (step-up), up to 30 V (step-down)-supports single-cell Li-ion to multi-cell alkaline inputs |
| Quiescent Current | 90 µA typical at no load-enables >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Oscillator Frequency | 14–25 kHz typical 19 kHz-low-frequency switching reduces EMI and enables use of low-cost ferrite inductors |
| Switch Current Limit | Programmable via ILIM-to-VIN resistor; default 500 mA with no external resistor |
| Output Hysteresis | 13–30 mV-ensures stable regulation without external compensation components |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C-qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems and portable electronics |
Pinout & Package
ADP1108AN-3.3 is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (N-8) package with through-hole mounting and 0.3-inch width, compatible with legacy prototyping and industrial control PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ILIM | Current limit programming input | Connect to VIN directly for default 500 mA limit; add resistor to reduce peak switch current for thermal or efficiency optimization |
| VIN | Main power supply input | Accepts 2.0–30 V; powers internal circuitry and supplies base drive for internal NPN switch |
| SW1 | Power switch collector | In step-up: connects to inductor; in step-down: ties to VIN-defines high-side switching node |
| SW2 | Power switch emitter | In step-up: connects to GND; in step-down: drives inductor-defines low-side switching node |
| FB/SENSE | Feedback input (fixed-voltage mode) | Internally connected to laser-trimmed resistor divider; connect directly to output for regulation |
| SET | Auxiliary amplifier non-inverting input | Accepts voltage divider from VIN to configure low-battery detection threshold relative to 1.245 V reference |
| AO | Auxiliary gain block open-collector output | Sinks 100 µA; used for battery alarm signaling or linear post-regulation control |
| GND | Analog and power ground reference | Single ground plane required; must be low-impedance return path for switch current and feedback network |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode topology support | Single IC configures as boost (VIN < VOUT) or buck (VIN > VOUT) with no external controller changes |
| Integrated 1 A NPN power switch | Eliminates need for external transistor and driver; reduces BOM count and layout area in space-constrained designs |
| On-chip low-battery detector | Uses SET/AO pins to generate logic-level alert when input drops below user-defined threshold-no extra comparator IC needed |
| Fixed 3.3 V output with laser-trimmed resistors | Guarantees ±4.5% output accuracy over temperature without external feedback components |
| 8-pin DIP package | Enables hand-soldering, socket-based testing, and drop-in replacement in legacy industrial power supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar micropower DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX630CPA+ | Fixed 3.3 V output, 100 µA IQ, 100 kHz switching, SO-8 only-no DIP option or ILIM programming | Lacks step-down capability and auxiliary gain block; unsuitable for low-battery detection or wide-input-range designs | Select if higher switching frequency and smaller inductors are prioritized over topology flexibility and legacy package support |
| TPS61022DRVR | Adjustable 0.9–5.5 V output, 20 µA IQ, 1.2 MHz switching, 2 A switch-QFN-11 package only | No fixed 3.3 V variant; requires external feedback resistors and lacks AO/SET functionality for monitoring | Choose for ultra-low IQ and high-efficiency USB-powered applications where board space permits QFN rework |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the ADP1108AN-3.3 in step-down mode?
The ADP1108AN-3.3 delivers up to 300 mA at 3.3 V from a 9 V input in step-down mode, as specified in the General Description. This assumes proper inductor selection (e.g., 150 µH, 1 A saturation rating) and thermal management. At lower input voltages such as 5 V, output current is limited by switch duty cycle and internal power dissipation-consult Figure 4 in the datasheet for RLIM-dependent current limits.
Can the ADP1108AN-3.3 be used in step-up mode with a 2.0 V input to generate 3.3 V?
Yes, the ADP1108AN-3.3 supports step-up operation from as low as 2.0 V input to 3.3 V output. The datasheet confirms startup from 1.8 V and operation down to 2.0 V in boost mode. Achieving stable regulation requires a properly sized inductor (e.g., 100–220 µH) and Schottky diode (e.g., 1N5818), with attention to minimum switch on-time and output capacitor ESR.
Does the ADP1108AN-3.3 require external feedback resistors for regulation?
No, the ADP1108AN-3.3 does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, it incorporates laser-trimmed internal resistors connecting the FB/SENSE pin to the 1.245 V reference. Users simply connect the FB pin directly to the output node-eliminating resistor tolerance errors and layout sensitivity inherent in adjustable versions like the ADP1108AN.
How is the current limit set on the ADP1108AN-3.3, and what is the default value?
The ADP1108AN-3.3 current limit is set by connecting a resistor between the ILIM pin and VIN. With ILIM tied directly to VIN, the default switch current limit is 500 mA at +25°C. To reduce peak current-for example, to 400 mA-connect a 220 Ω resistor between ILIM and VIN, as documented in the Pin Function Descriptions section.
Is the ADP1108AN-3.3 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the ADP1108AN-3.3 is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Analog Devices confirms Pb-free packaging for all ADP1108 variants manufactured after 2006, including the AN (plastic DIP) package. The device carries the "Pb-Free" marking on the package body and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 requirements.
