Product details
Overview
ADP1109AR from Analog Devices is a micropower step-up DC-to-DC converter in SO-8 package, delivering fixed 3.3 V output from 2 V–3 V input with 120 kHz gated oscillator, 320 µA ground current, and logic-controlled shutdown. It enables compact battery-powered voltage boosting in portable instrumentation and flash memory VPP generation.
For engineers reviewing the ADP1109AR datasheet, ADP1109AR pinout, ADP1109AR application, or ADP1109AR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V fixed output accuracy (±5%), 120 kHz switching frequency enabling small external magnetics, 450 µA quiescent current in shutdown, SO-8 thermal performance, and compatibility with Schottky diodes like 1N5818 for low-loss operation.
Technical Context
The ADP1109AR implements a gated-oscillator boost controller architecture with an internal 1.25 V reference and comparator-based feedback loop. Its oscillator activates only when FB(SENSE) voltage falls below 1.25 V, eliminating need for external frequency compensation.
It integrates a bipolar power switch with 0.4–0.8 V saturation voltage at 500 mA, supports shutdown via logic-low signal on Pin 7, and uses internal laser-trimmed resistors to fix output at 3.3 V - requiring only four external components: inductor, diode, input capacitor, and output capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±5% (3.13–3.46 V), set by internal laser-trimmed resistors - eliminates external feedback network. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 120 kHz typical (100–140 kHz range), enabling use of compact 10–47 µH surface-mount inductors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 3 V minimum for stable 3.3 V regulation - optimized for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline battery inputs. |
| Quiescent Current | 450 µA max in shutdown mode - preserves battery life during system sleep states. |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 0.4–0.8 V at 500 mA collector current - limits conduction loss and thermal rise in SO-8 package. |
| Output Ripple | 16–40 mV peak-to-peak - compatible with low-noise analog circuitry when paired with low-ESR tantalum or OS-CON capacitors. |
| Shutdown Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - ensures reliable interface with standard CMOS logic outputs. |
Pinout & Package
ADP1109AR is housed in an 8-lead SOIC (SO-8) package with 1.27 mm pitch, measuring 4.90 × 3.90 × 1.75 mm. Thermal resistance θJA is 160°C/W, suitable for moderate-power boost applications without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2–3 V DC input; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF low-ESR capacitor near pin. |
| 2, 5, 6 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or soldering required. |
| 3 (SW) | Collector node of internal NPN switch | Drives external inductor; handles peak currents up to 1.2 A - requires short, low-inductance routing. |
| 4 (GND) | Power and signal ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and feedback; must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 7 (SHUTDOWN) | Logic enable/disable control | Active-low input; <0.8 V disables oscillator and reduces IQ to 450 µA - compatible with microcontroller GPIO. |
| 8 (FB/SENSE) | Feedback sense input | Internally connected to 152 kΩ resistor for 3.3 V output - tie directly to regulated output node. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 450 µA shutdown current and 590 µA typical quiescent current - extends battery runtime in always-on devices. |
| Gated-oscillator control | Oscillator activates only when output droops below regulation threshold - eliminates external compensation and improves light-load efficiency. |
| Fixed-output precision | ±5% output tolerance over temperature and line - achieved via on-chip laser-trimmed resistors, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Integrated bipolar power switch | 1.2 A peak current rating with 0.8 V max VCE(SAT) - enables self-contained boost topology without external transistor or driver. |
| Logic-compatible shutdown | Dual-threshold input (VIL ≤ 0.8 V / VIH ≥ 2.0 V) - interfaces directly with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
Applications
| Cellular Telephones | Laptop and Palmtop Computers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Charge-pump topology (no inductor), 5 V output only, 100 mA max, 120 kHz switching | Lower EMI but limited to 5 V and lower current; unsuitable for 3.3 V or >100 mA loads | Choose MAX680ESA+ only if inductor-free design and 5 V output are mandatory - ADP1109AR provides higher efficiency and 3.3 V precision. |
| TPS61022DSQR | Synchronous boost, 3.3 V adjustable via resistor divider, 2 A switch, 2.5 MHz switching, QFN-10 package | Higher current capability and smaller passive components, but requires external feedback and has higher IQ (25 µA active) | Choose TPS61022DSQR for high-current (>200 mA) or space-constrained designs; ADP1109AR remains optimal for cost-sensitive, micropower 3.3 V fixed-output use cases. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TPS61022DSQR, ADP1109AR uniquely combines fixed 3.3 V output, SO-8 simplicity, sub-1 mA quiescent current, and inductor-based efficiency - making it ideal for legacy portable designs where BOM reduction and proven reliability outweigh ultra-high switching frequency or synchronous rectification.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the ADP1109AR over temperature and input voltage?
The ADP1109AR delivers a fixed 3.3 V output with guaranteed tolerance of ±5% (3.13 V to 3.46 V) across the full operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and input voltage range (2 V to 3 V). This specification is confirmed in the Rev. 0 datasheet under "OUTPUT VOLTAGE" with test conditions explicitly tied to ADP1109-3.3 variants.
Can the ADP1109AR operate from a single alkaline cell?
Yes, the ADP1109AR supports input voltages as low as 2 V, making it compatible with single alkaline or NiMH cells (nominal 1.5 V) down to end-of-life (~0.9 V) when used with appropriate undervoltage lockout circuitry. The ADP1109AR maintains regulation until VIN drops below 2 V, per the "INPUT VOLTAGE" specification.
What is the maximum output current achievable with the ADP1109AR at 3.3 V?
The ADP1109AR can deliver up to 100 mA at 3.3 V from a 3 V input, as verified in the "GENERAL DESCRIPTION" section and Figure 1 ("2 V to 5 V Converter") of the datasheet. Performance depends on inductor selection, diode VF, and thermal management - peak switch current must not exceed 1.2 A.
Does the ADP1109AR require external frequency compensation components?
No, the ADP1109AR uses a gated-oscillator architecture with built-in hysteresis (8–14 mV) in its comparator, which stabilizes the control loop without external compensation. This is explicitly stated in the "GENERAL DESCRIPTION" and "THEORY OF OPERATION" sections - eliminating the need for RC networks or type-II/III compensators.
Is the ADP1109AR pin-compatible with other members of the ADP1109 family?
Yes, all ADP1109 variants - including ADP1109AR-3.3, ADP1109AR-5, ADP1109AR-12, and ADP1109AR (adjustable) - share identical SO-8 pinouts and thermal characteristics. Only the internal feedback resistor network differs; external connections (VIN, SW, GND, SHUTDOWN, FB/SENSE) remain functionally identical across the family.
