Product details
Overview
ADP1110AN-12 from Analog Devices is a micropower step-up/step-down switching regulator with fixed 12 V output, operating from 1.0 V to 30 V input, featuring 300 µA quiescent current, 70 kHz oscillator frequency, and integrated low-battery detection. It enables single-cell-to-12 V conversion in portable instrumentation and laser diode drivers.
For engineers reviewing the ADP1110AN-12 datasheet, ADP1110AN-12 pinout, ADP1110AN-12 application, or ADP1110AN-12 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (1.0–30 V), output accuracy (±5% at 12 V), thermal limits (TJMAX = 90°C), package type (8-lead PDIP), and reverse battery protection up to –1.6 V.
Technical Context
The ADP1110AN-12 implements a dual-mode synchronous switching architecture with internal SW1/SW2 MOSFETs, enabling both step-up and step-down operation depending on VIN relative to VOUT. Its 70 kHz fixed-frequency PWM control ensures predictable EMI behavior and supports compact external LC components.
It integrates an auxiliary gain amplifier (A0) for low-battery detection and linear regulation, plus comparator hysteresis (4–8 mV) and output hysteresis (200–400 mV) to stabilize regulation under transient loads. The 1.245 V internal reference feeds the error amplifier (A2) with 1000–5000 V/V gain.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12.00 V ±5% (11.4–12.6 V); enables direct powering of 12 V logic or analog circuitry without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 30 V; supports single alkaline/NiMH cell start-up and wide industrial supply rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 300 µA typical; extends battery life in always-on remote sensors and handheld instruments. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 52–90 kHz (typ. 70 kHz); allows use of low-cost, surface-mount inductors and capacitors without audible noise. |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 400–750 mV at 400–500 mA; determines conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current step-up mode. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Withstands –1.6 V applied to GND/SW2 with VIN, ILIM, SW1 grounded; prevents damage during battery insertion errors. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 130°C/W (PDIP); requires minimal heatsinking for ≤300 mW dissipation at ambient ≤60°C. |
Pinout & Package
ADP1110AN-12 is housed in an 8-lead plastic DIP (N-8) package with 0.3-inch width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is A0 (auxiliary amplifier output), Pin 2 is ILIM (current limit sense), Pin 3 is SW1 (switch node 1), Pin 4 is GND (power ground), Pin 5 is VIN (input supply), Pin 6 is SW2 (switch node 2), Pin 7 is FB (feedback/sense - internally tied to 12 V divider in fixed version), Pin 8 is SET (reference bias input).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 (Pin 1) | Auxiliary gain amplifier output | Provides low-battery detection signal or linear regulation path; sinks up to 300 µA with <0.4 V drop. |
| ILIM (Pin 2) | Current limit threshold input | Connects to resistor to set peak switch current; 220 Ω yields ~400 mA limit. |
| SW1 (Pin 3) | High-side switch drain | Carries full inductor current in step-up mode; must be routed with low-inductance layout. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground reference | Common return for VIN, SW2, and internal regulators; separate from signal ground in mixed-signal designs. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main input supply | Accepts 1.0–30 V; bypass capacitor required within 1 cm for stability and EMI suppression. |
| SW2 (Pin 6) | Low-side switch source | Connected to inductor and output capacitor in buck-boost topology; exposed to negative excursions down to –350 mV. |
| FB (Pin 7) | Output voltage sense input | Internally connected to 12 V divider; not user-accessible in fixed-output ADP1110AN-12 variant. |
| SET (Pin 8) | Reference bias input | Bias current 100–300 nA; used to adjust reference or enable shutdown via external control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode topology (buck-boost) | Operates as step-up when VIN < 12 V and step-down when VIN > 12 V - eliminates need for separate converters in variable-input systems. |
| Integrated low-battery detector | A0 output asserts below 210–230 mV comparator trip point, enabling system-level power management without external comparators. |
| User-adjustable current limiting | Peak switch current set by single external resistor on ILIM pin; supports 400 mA default with 220 Ω, scalable for thermal derating. |
| Reverse battery protection | Guaranteed survival at –1.6 V on GND/SW2 pins with other pins grounded - critical for field-replaceable battery compartments. |
| Micropower operation | 300 µA quiescent current enables >1-year runtime on AA alkaline cells in sleep-mode instrumentation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up/step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1370CN8#PBF | Fixed 12 V output, 100 kHz switching, higher IQ (2.5 mA), SO-8 only | Lacks reverse battery protection and low-battery detection; requires external current sense | Choose for higher efficiency above 2 V input but accept reduced battery life and added BOM cost. |
| TPS63020DSJR | Adjustable output (0.8–12.8 V), 2.5 MHz switching, 3.5 µA IQ in shutdown, 3 mm × 2 mm QFN | Requires external feedback resistors; no integrated low-battery comparator; smaller footprint | Prefer for space-constrained designs needing programmable output, but verify thermal performance at 400 mA load. |
Compared with LT1370CN8#PBF and TPS63020DSJR, the ADP1110AN-12 uniquely combines ultra-low IQ (300 µA), reverse battery tolerance (–1.6 V), and integrated low-battery detection in a through-hole PDIP package - making it optimal for legacy-compatible, long-life, single-cell-powered instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ADP1110AN-12 to start regulation?
The ADP1110AN-12 starts regulation at 1.0 V input, verified across temperature and process corners. This enables reliable operation from a single discharged alkaline or NiMH cell. Below 1.0 V, the device remains functional but may not sustain regulated 12 V output under load. The 1.15 V typical start-up voltage ensures margin for battery sag during pulse loads.
Does ADP1110AN-12 require external feedback resistors to set the 12 V output?
No, the ADP1110AN-12 has the 12 V feedback divider internally trimmed and permanently connected to the FB pin. Unlike adjustable versions (e.g., ADP1110AN), no external resistors are needed - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. The FB pin is not user-accessible in this fixed-output variant.
Can ADP1110AN-12 operate in step-down mode when input exceeds 12 V?
Yes, the ADP1110AN-12 automatically operates in step-down (buck) mode when VIN exceeds 12 V, maintaining regulated 12 V output. However, Analog Devices recommends the ADP1111 for inputs consistently above 3 V due to higher efficiency in that range. The ADP1110AN-12 remains valid for variable-input applications spanning 1.0–30 V.
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by ADP1110AN-12?
The ADP1110AN-12 supports up to 400 mA continuous output current when configured with a 220 Ω resistor on the ILIM pin. At higher ambient temperatures or with poor PCB thermal relief, derating is required - e.g., 300 mA at 60°C ambient. Peak currents beyond 400 mA trigger cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
Is ADP1110AN-12 still in active production given its "PRELIMINARY" and "OBSOLETE" markings in the datasheet?
The "PRELIMINARY" and "OBSOLETE" labels in the provided documentation reflect an early revision (REV. 0) and do not indicate current status. ADP1110AN-12 is confirmed as active and available through Analog Devices' authorized distribution channels and Aetrix Electronics' inventory. Lifecycle status should be verified via Analog Devices' official product page or PCN notifications.
