Product details
Overview
ADP1109AR-12 from Analog Devices is a micropower step-up DC-to-DC converter with fixed 12 V output, designed for battery-powered systems requiring efficient voltage boosting from low-input sources (e.g., 3–12 V input to 12 V output at 60 mA). It integrates an internal NPN power switch, 1.25 V reference, comparator with 14 mV hysteresis, and 120 kHz gated oscillator. Used in flash memory VPP generation and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADP1109AR-12 datasheet, ADP1109AR-12 pinout, ADP1109AR-12 application, or ADP1109AR-12 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12 V fixed output accuracy (±4.6%), 450 µA shutdown quiescent current, SO-8 package compatibility, and absence of external feedback resistors-critical for space-constrained, low-power boost designs.
Technical Context
The ADP1109AR-12 implements a gated-oscillator architecture where the 120 kHz oscillator activates only when the FB(SENSE) pin voltage falls below 1.25 V, enabling ultra-low quiescent current (450 µA in shutdown, 590 µA typical operating). Its internal 1.25 V reference feeds one comparator input, while the other receives feedback directly from the regulated 12 V output via an internal laser-trimmed resistor divider.
It uses a single NPN bipolar power switch (VCESAT ≤ 0.8 V at 500 mA, VIN = 5 V) with no internal current limiting-requiring external inductor saturation current rating ≥1.2 A. The shutdown pin accepts TTL-compatible logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) to disable oscillation without altering bias conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 12.00 V ±4.6% (11.45–12.55 V), laser-trimmed for fixed-output stability without external resistors |
| Oscillator Frequency | 120 kHz typical (90–155 kHz range), enables use of compact 15–33 µH surface-mount inductors |
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 9 V (absolute max 12 V), supports single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline inputs |
| Quiescent Current | 450–590 µA (shutdown mode), critical for battery life extension in standby operation |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | ≤0.8 V at 500 mA (VIN = 5 V), limits conduction loss and thermal rise in boost stage |
| Comparator Hysteresis | 8–14 mV, ensures stable regulation loop without external frequency compensation components |
| Output Ripple | 40–110 mV peak-to-peak, defines minimum output capacitor ESR and capacitance requirements |
Pinout & Package
ADP1109AR-12 is housed in an 8-lead SOIC (SO-8) package with 1.27 mm pitch, compliant with JEDEC MS-012. Pin 1 is VIN; pins 2, 5, 6 are NC; pin 3 is SW (collector of internal NPN switch); pin 4 is GND; pin 7 is SHUTDOWN (TTL-compatible enable); pin 8 is FB(SENSE), internally connected to set 12 V output.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2–9 V DC; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| NC (Pins 2, 5, 6) | No electrical connection | Must remain unconnected; no routing or thermal pad required |
| SW (Pin 3) | Internal NPN switch collector | Drives external inductor; requires low-inductance layout to minimize switching noise |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal reference | Primary return path for switch current and feedback; separate analog/digital ground not required |
| SHUTDOWN (Pin 7) | Logic-controlled oscillator enable | Low = oscillator off (450 µA IQ); high = normal operation; 10 µA input current at 2 V |
| FB(SENSE) (Pin 8) | Feedback node for output regulation | Internally tied to 12 V divider; connect directly to regulated output-no external resistors needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower shutdown mode | 450 µA quiescent current preserves battery capacity during system sleep states |
| Fixed 12 V output with laser trimming | Eliminates external feedback resistors-reduces BOM count and layout area by 2 components |
| Gated-oscillator control | Enables hysteresis-based regulation without compensation network, simplifying design validation |
| Integrated NPN power switch | Supports up to 1.2 A peak switch current; avoids discrete transistor selection and drive complexity |
| TTL-compatible shutdown interface | Direct connection to microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Dual charge-pump topology; no inductor required; 12 V output derived from ±6 V doubler; 100 µA IQ | Better suited for ultra-low-noise, low-current (<10 mA) bias rails-not for 60 mA continuous loads | Select MAX680ESA+ only if inductor-free design and sub-10 mA load are acceptable |
| TPS61040DRVR | Higher efficiency (90% vs. ~82% typical for ADP1109AR-12); 500 kHz switching; integrated Schottky; 20 µA shutdown IQ | Requires external feedback resistors for 12 V; supports wider input (1.8–6 V); better for high-density PCBs | Choose TPS61040DRVR when board space, efficiency >85%, or sub-2 V start-up are mandatory |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TPS61040DRVR, ADP1109AR-12 offers lowest BOM count for fixed 12 V boost (no resistors, no Schottky), moderate efficiency, and proven reliability in industrial portable gear-but lacks modern ultra-low-IQ or high-frequency advantages.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the ADP1109AR-12?
The ADP1109AR-12 delivers up to 60 mA at 12 V when supplied from a 5 V input, as specified in the Typical Application section. Output current is limited by internal switch saturation voltage (≤0.8 V), thermal dissipation (300 mW max), and external inductor saturation rating. Exceeding 60 mA may cause regulation loss or thermal shutdown in sustained operation.
Does the ADP1109AR-12 require external feedback resistors to set its 12 V output?
No, the ADP1109AR-12 does not require external feedback resistors. Its 12 V output is set by internal laser-trimmed resistors connected to the FB(SENSE) pin (Pin 8), which is designed to be connected directly to the output. This eliminates two external components and associated layout sensitivity compared to adjustable versions like ADP1109AR.
What is the recommended inductor value for the ADP1109AR-12 in a 5 V to 12 V conversion?
Analog Devices recommends a 15 µH inductor (e.g., CTX15-1) for 5 V to 12 V operation at 60 mA, as shown in Figure 2. Inductor selection must ensure saturation current ≥1.2 A and DC resistance <0.4 Ω. A 33 µH inductor is also validated in application notes for lower ripple at reduced peak current-both values are compatible with the ADP1109AR-12's 120 kHz switching frequency.
Can the ADP1109AR-12 operate from a single 3 V lithium coin cell?
Yes, the ADP1109AR-12 operates from input voltages as low as 2 V, making it compatible with single-cell Li-MnO₂ or Li-coin cells. At 3 V input, it delivers ~40 mA at 12 V (per Figure 2). However, output current drops as input voltage decreases due to duty cycle limitations and switch losses-designers should verify load requirements across the full battery discharge curve.
Is the ADP1109AR-12 pin-compatible with other variants in 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 footprints. Pin functions (VIN, SW, GND, SHUTDOWN, FB/SENSE) are consistent across variants, enabling drop-in replacement during prototyping or BOM optimization-provided output voltage and load requirements align.
