Product details
Overview
ADP1108AR-12 from Analog Devices is a micropower step-up/step-down DC-DC converter IC with fixed 12 V output, internal 1 A power switch, 19 kHz oscillator, and programmable current limit. It operates from 2.0 V to 30 V input, delivers up to 300 mA at 5 V in step-down mode, and targets battery-powered LCD bias, portable instrumentation, and peripheral power rails.
For engineers reviewing the ADP1108AR-12 datasheet, ADP1108AR-12 pinout, ADP1108AR-12 application, or ADP1108AR-12 equivalent, key selection factors include its dual-mode topology support, 90 µA quiescent current in no-load boost configuration, ±5% output voltage tolerance at 12 V, and SO-8 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The ADP1108AR-12 implements a gated-oscillator control architecture with an internal 1.245 V reference and comparator-based regulation loop. Its dual-access power transistor (SW1 collector, SW2 emitter) enables both step-up and step-down configurations without external switches.
Current limiting is resistor-programmable via ILIM-to-VIN connection, with factory-trimmed feedback resistors setting nominal 12.0 V output (11.4–12.6 V range). The auxiliary gain block (SET/AO pins) supports low-battery detection or post-regulation functions independent of main regulation path.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12.0 V ±5% (11.4–12.6 V), laser-trimmed on-die resistors eliminate external feedback network |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0–12.6 V (step-up), up to 30 V (step-down); supports single-cell Li-ion down to end-of-life and industrial 24 V rails |
| Quiescent Current | 90 µA typical at no load in boost mode; enables >1-year battery life in low-duty-cycle sensor nodes |
| Oscillator Frequency | 19 kHz typical; 36 µs ON / 17 µs OFF timing optimized for 3× VIN-to-VOUT ratios (e.g., 4 V → 12 V) |
| Internal Power Switch | 1 A rated NPN transistor with 0.75 V saturation at 650 mA (VIN = 5 V); eliminates need for external MOSFET in <300 mA applications |
| Output Hysteresis | 50–100 mV; ensures stable regulation under dynamic load transients without external compensation |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C; validated for commercial portable equipment environments |
Pinout & Package
ADP1108AR-12 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, compatible with automated PCB assembly and thermal relief pad layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ILIM | Current Limit Programming Input | Connect to VIN for full 1 A switch current; 87.4 kΩ resistor sets ~500 mA limit per fixed-output variant design |
| 2 VIN | Main Power Input | Supplies internal circuitry and power switch; accepts 2.0–30 V across step-up/step-down modes |
| 3 SW1 | Power Switch Collector | In step-up: drives inductor; in step-down: connects to input rail; handles peak currents up to 1.5 A |
| 4 SW2 | Power Switch Emitter | In step-up: tied to GND; in step-down: drives inductor; must not exceed –0.5 V below ground |
| 5 FB/SENSE | Feedback Input (Fixed Mode) | Internally connected to trimmed resistor divider; connect directly to 12 V output for regulation |
| 6 SET | Auxiliary Amplifier Non-Inverting Input | Accepts resistor divider from VIN for low-battery detection; referenced to internal 1.245 V |
| 7 AO | Auxiliary Gain Block Output | Open-collector NPN output sinking 100 µA; usable as UVLO flag or linear post-regulator driver |
| 8 GND | Analog and Power Ground | Common reference for all internal blocks; requires low-impedance PCB plane for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode topology support | Single IC configures as boost (2–12.6 V IN → 12 V OUT) or buck (up to 30 V IN → 12 V OUT) with pin-strapping only |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 90 µA typical in no-load boost mode enables multi-year operation from coin cells in maintenance-free sensors |
| Integrated 1 A power switch | Eliminates external transistor and gate driver, reducing BOM count and layout area by ≥4 components |
| Programmable current limit | Resistor from ILIM to VIN sets switch current threshold; prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit events |
| On-chip auxiliary gain block | Configurable as low-battery detector (trip at 1.245 V), error amplifier, or UVLO circuit without external op-amps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX638ACSA+ | Fixed 12 V output, 100 µA IQ, but limited to 100 mA output current and 16.5 V max input | Suitable only for ultra-low-power 12 V bias; cannot replace ADP1108AR-12 in >200 mA loads or 24 V systems | Select when board space is critical and load current ≤100 mA; verify input voltage stays <16.5 V |
| TPS61040DRVR | Adjustable output (1.8–28 V), 28 V max input, 280 mA output, but requires external feedback resistors and has 55 µA IQ | Offers flexibility for non-12 V rails; lacks integrated 12 V trim and auxiliary gain block functionality | Choose for variable-output designs needing higher efficiency at light loads; add external components for 12 V setpoint |
Compared with MAX638ACSA+ and TPS61040DRVR, ADP1108AR-12 uniquely combines fixed 12 V accuracy, 300 mA capability in step-down mode, and on-chip auxiliary amplifier-enabling single-chip solutions for battery-backed instrumentation where precision, integration, and low IQ are jointly required.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the ADP1108AR-12?
The ADP1108AR-12 provides a fixed 12 V output with guaranteed tolerance of ±5% (11.4 V to 12.6 V) across temperature and load conditions, achieved via on-die laser-trimmed resistors that eliminate external feedback components and ensure long-term stability without calibration.
Can the ADP1108AR-12 operate in step-down mode from a 24 V input?
Yes, the ADP1108AR-12 supports step-down operation with input voltages up to 30 V, making it fully compatible with 24 V industrial rails. In this configuration, SW1 connects to VIN and SW2 drives the inductor, delivering regulated 12 V output while maintaining 90 µA quiescent current at no load.
How is current limiting implemented on the ADP1108AR-12?
Current limiting on the ADP1108AR-12 is set by connecting a resistor between ILIM and VIN. For the ADP1108AR-12 variant, a nominal 87.4 kΩ resistor programs ~500 mA switch current limit, protecting the internal 1 A transistor during overload or short-circuit conditions without requiring external sensing circuitry.
Does the ADP1108AR-12 require external compensation components?
No, the ADP1108AR-12 uses comparator-based hysteretic control with built-in 50–100 mV output hysteresis, eliminating the need for external compensation networks. This simplifies design, reduces component count, and ensures stable regulation across input voltage and load variations without loop stability analysis.
What package type is used for the ADP1108AR-12?
The ADP1108AR-12 is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package with standard 1.27 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant finish, and thermal performance validated for continuous operation at 70°C ambient. The package footprint matches industry-standard SO-8 footprints for drop-in PCB compatibility.
