Product details
Overview
ADP1109AN from Analog Devices is a micropower step-up DC-to-DC converter in 8-lead plastic DIP (N-8) package, delivering fixed 3.3 V output from 2 V–3 V input, with 120 kHz oscillator frequency, 320 µA ground current, and logic-controlled shutdown. It serves as a compact, low-component-count boost regulator for battery-powered portable instrumentation requiring stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the ADP1109AN datasheet, ADP1109AN pinout, ADP1109AN application, or ADP1109AN equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3.3 V output accuracy (±5%), 120 kHz switching frequency enabling small external magnetics, shutdown pin interface (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and compatibility with Schottky diodes like 1N5818 for efficient low-current conversion.
Technical Context
The ADP1109AN implements a gated-oscillator architecture with internal 1.25 V reference and comparator hysteresis (8–14 mV), eliminating need for external frequency compensation. Its internal NPN power switch operates with typical saturation voltage of 0.4–0.8 V at 500 mA and supports duty cycle range of 40–70% under full load.
Feedback is implemented via internal laser-trimmed resistor network tied to Pin 8 (FB/SENSE), setting output precisely to 3.3 V - no external resistors required. Shutdown control is TTL-compatible: logic low on Pin 7 disables oscillator, reducing quiescent current to 450–590 µA while maintaining regulated output hold-up during inactive periods.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±5% (3.13–3.46 V) over 2 V–3 V input range - enables direct replacement of LDOs in low-noise 3.3 V logic rails. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 120 kHz typical (90–155 kHz over temp/voltage) - allows use of low-cost, small-footprint 10–47 µH surface-mount inductors. |
| Quiescent Current | 450–590 µA in shutdown - preserves battery life in intermittently active portable devices. |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 0.4–0.8 V at 500 mA (VIN = 3 V) - limits conduction loss and thermal rise in high-efficiency boost topologies. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 9 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), NiMH (1.2 V × 2), or alkaline (1.5 V × 2) battery inputs. |
| Output Ripple | 16–40 mV peak-to-peak - meets noise requirements for analog sensors and microcontroller I/O without additional LC filtering. |
| Shutdown Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - ensures reliable interface with 3.3 V or 5 V logic controllers without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
ADP1109AN is housed in an 8-lead plastic DIP (N-8) package with 0.3" width, lead pitch of 0.1" (2.54 mm), and standard through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pins 2, 5, and 6 are internally unconnected (NC).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2–9 V DC input; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor near pin for stability. |
| 3 (SW) | Collector of internal NPN switch | Drives external inductor; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
| 4 (GND) | Power and signal ground reference | Must be connected to low-impedance ground plane; shared return path for VIN, SW, and FB improves regulation. |
| 7 (SHUTDOWN) | Logic enable/disable control | Pulled low to disable oscillator; high-impedance input draws ≤20 µA - compatible with GPIOs of MSP430, STM32L, etc. |
| 8 (FB/SENSE) | Feedback node for output regulation | Internally connected to laser-trimmed resistor divider; directly tied to 3.3 V output - no external components needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 450 µA shutdown current enables >1-year battery life in low-duty-cycle sensor nodes using two AA cells. |
| Fixed-output simplicity | Zero external feedback components required for 3.3 V version - reduces BOM count and layout area vs. adjustable regulators. |
| Gated-oscillator control | Eliminates need for external compensation network, simplifying design validation and improving transient response stability. |
| Logic-compatible shutdown | TTL-level SHUTDOWN pin allows direct interfacing with microcontrollers without pull-up resistors or level shifters. |
| Low EMI switching | 120 kHz frequency avoids AM radio band and permits use of cost-effective ferrite-core inductors with minimal shielding. |
Applications
| Portable Instrumentation | Laser Diode Drivers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up DC-to-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Charge-pump topology (no inductor); fixed 5 V output; 100 kHz switching; 100 µA quiescent current. | Lower output current (100 mA max); unsuitable for >5 V outputs or high-efficiency >100 mA loads. | Select MAX680ESA+ only when inductor-free layout and ultra-low IQ outweigh need for 3.3 V output or >120 mA delivery. |
| TPS61200DRCR | Synchronous boost; adjustable output (0.9–5.5 V); 1.2 MHz switching; 50 µA quiescent current; integrated MOSFETs. | Requires external feedback resistors; higher efficiency above 100 mA but greater complexity and cost. | Choose TPS61200DRCR when >85% efficiency at 200 mA or programmable output is mandatory - not for drop-in 3.3 V replacement. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TPS61200DRCR, ADP1109AN offers unique value as a fixed 3.3 V, inductor-based boost converter with proven reliability in industrial portable equipment, requiring zero external feedback components and supporting TTL shutdown - ideal where simplicity, known thermal behavior, and legacy design continuity matter most.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the ADP1109AN at 3.3 V?
The ADP1109AN delivers up to 100 mA at 3.3 V output when supplied from a 3 V input, as verified in the Typical Application section and confirmed by load regulation data showing stable output up to 100 mA across temperature. Exceeding this current risks thermal overload due to internal switch saturation voltage and package power dissipation limits.
Can the ADP1109AN be used with a 1.8 V input source?
No - the ADP1109AN requires minimum 2 V input per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Specifications tables. At 1.8 V, the internal comparator and oscillator fail to operate reliably, resulting in no regulation or intermittent startup. For sub-2 V inputs, consider the ADP1613 or similar ultra-low-VIN boost converters.
Is the ADP1109AN pin-compatible with other variants in the ADP1109 family?
Yes - all ADP1109 variants (ADP1109AN, ADP1109AN-3.3, ADP1109AN-5, ADP1109AN-12) share identical 8-lead DIP (N-8) pinout and package dimensions. Only the internal feedback resistor network differs; external connections (VIN, SW, GND, SHUTDOWN, FB/SENSE) remain functionally identical across versions.
What type of diode is recommended for use with the ADP1109AN?
The 1N5818 Schottky diode is explicitly recommended in the ADP1109 datasheet for ADP1109AN applications - it provides 0.5 V forward voltage at 1 A, fast recovery (<100 ns), and low leakage (4–10 µA), optimizing efficiency and minimizing output ripple. Surface-mount alternatives include MBRS130T3.
Does the ADP1109AN require external compensation components?
No - the ADP1109AN uses a gated-oscillator architecture with built-in comparator hysteresis (8–14 mV), eliminating the need for external frequency compensation networks. This is confirmed in the General Description and Application Information sections, which state "loop stability without requiring external components for frequency compensation."
