Product details
Overview
ADP1110AN from Analog Devices is a micropower step-up/step-down switching regulator in 8-lead PDIP package, supporting input voltages from 1.0 V to 30 V, adjustable output voltage, 70 kHz switching frequency, and 300 µA quiescent current - used in single-cell battery-powered instruments and portable laser diode drivers.
For engineers reviewing the ADP1110AN datasheet, ADP1110AN pinout, ADP1110AN application, or ADP1110AN equivalent, key selection factors include its dual-mode topology, low-voltage start-up capability (1.0 V), user-adjustable current limiting via ILIM pin, reverse-battery protection up to −1.6 V, and fixed/adjustable output variants within the same family.
Technical Context
The ADP1110AN operates in either step-up or step-down mode depending on external component configuration and input/output relationship; it uses an internal 70 kHz oscillator and integrated power switches SW1/SW2 with saturation voltages specified down to 300 mV at 400 mA.
Its feedback loop employs a 1.245 V internal reference and error amplifier (A2) with gain of 1000–5000 V/V; the A0 pin serves as auxiliary output for low-battery detection or linear regulation, while the comparator monitors FB pin with 210–230 mV trip point and 4–8 mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 30 V - enables operation from single alkaline/NiMH cell up to industrial supply rails |
| Quiescent Current | 300 µA - extends battery life in always-on portable instrumentation |
| Switching Frequency | 52–90 kHz (typ. 70 kHz) - allows use of compact surface-mount inductors and capacitors |
| Output Sense Voltage | Adjustable via external resistor divider - supports custom regulated outputs beyond fixed 5 V/12 V versions |
| Current Limit Threshold | Set by resistor between ILIM and VIN - enables programmable overcurrent protection from ~400 mA |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Withstands −1.6 V applied to GND/SW2 - prevents damage during battery insertion errors |
| Reference Voltage | 1.245 V ±0.5% - provides stable feedback reference for precision output regulation |
Pinout & Package
ADP1110AN is housed in an 8-lead plastic DIP (PDIP) package (N-8 outline), with thermal resistance θJA = 130°C/W and maximum junction temperature TJMAX = 90°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Auxiliary amplifier output | Provides low-battery detection signal or linear regulation path; sinks 300 µA with <0.4 V drop |
| ILIM | Current limit programming node | Resistor-connected pin sets peak switch current threshold (~400 mA typical) |
| SW1 | Main power switch collector | High-side NPN switch output; rated for 1 A peak in step-down mode |
| GND | Power and signal ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits and external components |
| VIN | Main input supply connection | Accepts 1.0–30 V; powers internal bias and drives ILIM resistor network |
| SW2 | Secondary power switch emitter | Low-side switch terminal; forms boost/SEPIC path with SW1 and external inductor |
| FB (SENSE) | Feedback input for output regulation | Compares divided output against 1.245 V reference; bias current <150 nA |
| SET | Reference bias and gain control | Sets error amplifier operating point; bias current 100–300 nA at VREF |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX630CPA+ | Fixed 5 V output only; no adjustable version; 100 kHz switching; 120 µA IQ | Lacks step-up/step-down flexibility and ILIM programming; suited only for fixed-rail, ultra-low-IQ needs | Select when lowest possible quiescent current is prioritized over topology flexibility |
| TPS63001DRCR | Buck-boost architecture with 96% efficiency; 2.5–5.5 V input; 3.3/5 V fixed outputs; 2.5 MHz switching | Higher efficiency and frequency but requires minimum 2.5 V input - cannot start from 1.0 V single cell | Select for modern Li-ion systems where high efficiency and small magnetics outweigh low-VIN capability |
Compared with MAX630CPA+ and TPS63001DRCR, the ADP1110AN uniquely supports sub-1.5 V start-up and dual-mode operation in a through-hole package - making it irreplaceable in legacy single-cell industrial handhelds where PCB rework is prohibited.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ADP1110AN to start switching?
The ADP1110AN starts switching at an input voltage as low as 1.0 V, verified across temperature and process corners. This capability allows the ADP1110AN to operate from nearly depleted single-cell alkaline or NiMH batteries, making it ideal for long-life portable instrumentation where energy harvesting or ultra-low-power wake-up is critical.
Can ADP1110AN be used in step-up mode with a 1.5 V input to generate 5 V output?
Yes, the ADP1110AN supports step-up operation from 1.5 V input to 5 V output, confirmed in the functional block diagram and electrical specifications. Its internal 70 kHz oscillator and low-saturation switches enable efficient boost conversion at light-to-moderate loads, though efficiency drops above 300 mA due to fixed-frequency architecture limitations.
How is output voltage adjusted on the ADP1110AN?
The ADP1110AN uses a resistor divider from output to FB pin and from FB to GND to set output voltage based on the internal 1.245 V reference. The formula is VOUT = 1.245 × (1 + R1/R2). This adjustment method is validated in the General Description and applies directly to the ADP1110AN, unlike fixed-output variants such as ADP1110AN-5.
Does ADP1110AN include built-in reverse-polarity protection?
Yes, the ADP1110AN includes guaranteed reverse-battery protection: it withstands continuous −1.6 V applied to GND and SW2 pins while other pins are grounded. This feature is explicitly tested and specified in the datasheet Notes section, eliminating the need for external series diodes in consumer handheld designs using the ADP1110AN.
What is the thermal performance of ADP1110AN in PDIP package?
The ADP1110AN in 8-lead PDIP (N-8) package has θJA = 130°C/W and TJMAX = 90°C. Under typical 500 mW dissipation, junction temperature rise is ~65°C above ambient - confirming safe operation at room temperature with minimal heatsinking. This thermal rating is documented in the Pin Configurations section of the ADP1110AN datasheet.
