Product details
Overview
ADP1108AR-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, 19 kHz oscillator, and programmable current limit. 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 low-power peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the ADP1108AR-3.3 datasheet, ADP1108AR-3.3 pinout, ADP1108AR-3.3 application, or ADP1108AR-3.3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-mode topology support, on-chip low-battery detector (via AO/SET), 3.3 V ±4.5% output tolerance at full load, SO-8 package compatibility, and absence of external feedback resistors required for fixed-output operation.
Technical Context
The ADP1108AR-3.3 implements a gated-oscillator control architecture with internal 1.245 V reference and comparator-based regulation. Its dual-collector/emitter switch configuration enables both boost and buck topologies without external transistor additions.
It integrates an auxiliary gain block (SET/AO pins) usable as open-collector low-battery detector or error amplifier, and supports user-defined current limiting via ILIM-to-VIN resistor-enabling precise peak switch current control across input voltage ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V, ±4.5% tolerance (3.13–3.46 V) ensures stable logic rail generation for 3.3 V microcontrollers and peripherals. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 30 V supports wide-source applications: single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), dual-AA (2.0–3.2 V), or industrial 9–24 V supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 90 µA (typ) enables >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes powered by 2xAA cells. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 19 kHz (typ) balances EMI suppression and inductor size-compatible with standard 47–330 µH off-the-shelf ferrite inductors. |
| Switch Current Limit | Programmable up to 500 mA via ILIM resistor; default (ILIM = VIN) supports 1 A peak, enabling 300 mA continuous 3.3 V output from 9 V input. |
| Package | SO-8 surface-mount package with 1.27 mm pitch allows high-density PCB layout and reflow compatibility. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C rating suits commercial portable electronics, including handheld test equipment and add-on cards. |
Pinout & Package
ADP1108AR-3.3 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package with standard 1.27 mm lead pitch and exposed pad not present. Pin functions are electrically validated per Analog Devices ADP1108 Rev. 0 datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ILIM | Current limit programming input | Connect to VIN for full 1 A switch capability; add resistor to VIN to reduce peak current (e.g., 220 Ω → 500 mA). |
| 2 VIN | Main power input | Accepts 2.0–30 V; supplies internal circuitry and switch driver; must be bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 3 SW1 | Power switch collector | In boost mode: connects to inductor/diode node; in buck mode: ties directly to VIN. |
| 4 SW2 | Power switch emitter | In boost mode: connects to GND; in buck mode: drives inductor-must not fall below –350 mV. |
| 5 FB/SENSE | Feedback input (fixed version) | Internally connected to laser-trimmed resistor divider; connect directly to 3.3 V output-no external resistors needed. |
| 6 SET | Auxiliary amplifier non-inverting input | Accepts resistor divider from VIN to GND for low-battery detection threshold setting (e.g., 3.0 V trip). |
| 7 AO | Auxiliary gain block output | Open-collector NPN output sinking 100 µA; pulls low when SET voltage exceeds 1.245 V reference. |
| 8 GND | Analog and power ground | Single ground reference for all internal blocks; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode topology support | Enables both step-up (2.0–12.6 V input → 3.3 V) and step-down (up to 30 V input → 3.3 V) without external MOSFETs or topology-specific ICs. |
| Integrated low-battery detector | SET/AO pins form configurable comparator with 1.245 V internal reference-eliminates need for discrete supervisor IC in portable designs. |
| Fixed-output simplification | Laser-trimmed on-die resistors remove external feedback network, reducing BOM count and layout area versus adjustable versions. |
| Programmable current limit | Single resistor between ILIM and VIN sets peak switch current-enables optimization for efficiency vs. inductor saturation in varying input conditions. |
| Micropower operation | 90 µA quiescent current extends battery runtime in always-on monitoring systems where sleep-mode current dominates total consumption. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61022RGET | Higher 2.5 MHz switching frequency; 0.5 A output; requires external feedback resistors for 3.3 V setting. | Optimized for space-constrained designs needing smaller inductors/capacitors; lacks integrated low-battery detector. | Select when board area is critical and higher-frequency EMI filtering is acceptable; verify AO/SET functionality replacement if used for battery monitoring. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the ADP1108AR-3.3 under full load?
The ADP1108AR-3.3 delivers a fixed 3.3 V output with guaranteed tolerance of ±4.5% (3.13 V to 3.46 V) across input voltage (2.0–30 V), temperature (0°C to +70°C), and load (0–300 mA). This specification is laser-trimmed at wafer level and does not require external feedback components-ensuring consistent performance in production units of ADP1108AR-3.3.
Can the ADP1108AR-3.3 operate in step-down mode from a 12 V input to 3.3 V output?
Yes, the ADP1108AR-3.3 supports step-down (buck) operation from inputs up to 30 V. When configured for buck mode-with SW1 tied to VIN and SW2 driving the inductor-it delivers 300 mA at 3.3 V from a 12 V source. The internal switch exhibits 1.1–1.5 V saturation voltage at 650 mA in this mode, confirmed in the ADP1108 datasheet Figure 11.
How is current limiting implemented on the ADP1108AR-3.3?
Current limiting on the ADP1108AR-3.3 is set by connecting a resistor between ILIM and VIN. With ILIM tied directly to VIN, the device supports up to 1 A peak switch current. Adding a 220 Ω resistor reduces maximum switch current to 500 mA-verified in the "CURRENT LIMIT" specification table and Figure 4 of the ADP1108 datasheet.
Does the ADP1108AR-3.3 require external feedback resistors to set its 3.3 V output?
No, the ADP1108AR-3.3 does not require external feedback resistors. Its 3.3 V output is established by on-die laser-trimmed resistors connected internally to the FB/SENSE pin-confirmed in the PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS section and ORDERING GUIDE of the ADP1108 datasheet. Simply connect FB directly to the output for regulation.
What is the function of the AO and SET pins on the ADP1108AR-3.3?
The AO (auxiliary output) and SET pins on the ADP1108AR-3.3 form an uncommitted gain block with internal 1.245 V reference. SET serves as the non-inverting input; AO is an open-collector NPN output sinking 100 µA. Together, they enable low-battery detection, UVLO, or linear post-regulation-without additional ICs-as documented in the THEORY OF OPERATION section.
