Product details
Overview
LT1107CS8-12#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, fixed-output 12V DC/DC converter IC operating in step-up, step-down, or inverting modes. It features 320µA quiescent current, internal 1A power switch, 63kHz oscillator, user-adjustable current limit via ILIM pin, and operates from 2V to 30V input. It delivers up to 300mA at 12V from 24V input in step-down mode for battery backup supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1107CS8-12#PBF datasheet, LT1107CS8-12#PBF pinout, LT1107CS8-12#PBF application, or LT1107CS8-12#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 12V output accuracy (±2.5%), low-battery detector capability via AO/SET pins, 70% duty cycle in step-up mode, SO-8 package thermal resistance (θJA = 150°C/W), and compatibility with surface-mount inductors and Schottky diodes.
Technical Context
The LT1107CS8-12#PBF implements a gated-oscillator architecture with a 1.25V internal reference and comparator-based feedback control. Its oscillator is fixed at 63kHz with 11µs ON time in step-up mode, enabling discontinuous conduction mode operation optimized for VOUT ≈ 3VIN.
It integrates an NPN power switch (1.5A max), on-chip current limit circuitry referenced to ILIM pin voltage, and an auxiliary open-collector gain block (AO/SET) usable as low-battery detector or error amplifier. The FB/SENSE pin connects internally to fixed 12V divider network (R1 = 25.5kΩ), eliminating external resistors.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT1107CS8-12#PBF in step-down mode?
The LT1107CS8-12#PBF delivers up to 300mA at 12V from a 24V input in step-down mode, as confirmed in the Typical Applications section. This assumes proper thermal design (SO-8 θJA = 150°C/W), use of a Schottky diode, and adequate output capacitance. At higher ambient temperatures or with reduced airflow, derating is required to maintain reliability.
Does the LT1107CS8-12#PBF require external feedback resistors to set the 12V output?
No, the LT1107CS8-12#PBF does not require external feedback resistors. Its FB/SENSE pin (Pin 8) connects internally to a precision 25.5kΩ resistor network that sets the output to exactly 12V ±2.5%. The datasheet explicitly states "No external resistors are needed" for fixed-output versions like the LT1107CS8-12#PBF.
Can the LT1107CS8-12#PBF be used in inverting (positive-to-negative) configuration?
Yes, the LT1107CS8-12#PBF supports inverting configuration as documented in Figure 3 of the datasheet. In this mode, it generates –12V from a positive input (e.g., +5V), with |VOUT| limited to ≤6.2V unless modified with external diodes. The SO-8 package and internal switch enable compact implementation without additional active components.
What is the purpose of the AO and SET pins on the LT1107CS8-12#PBF?
The AO (Pin 6) and SET (Pin 7) pins form an auxiliary gain block usable as a low-battery detector, linear post-regulator, or error amplifier. The SET pin connects to the non-inverting input referenced to the internal 1.25V bandgap; AO provides an open-collector output sinking 300µA. This allows precise undervoltage lockout without adding discrete comparators.
Is the LT1107CS8-12#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LT1107 family?
Yes, the LT1107CS8-12#PBF is pin-compatible with all LT1107 variants in the same SO-8 (S8) package, including LT1107CS8, LT1107CS8-5, and LT1107IS8. Pin functions, electrical characteristics, and thermal ratings are identical across S8-packaged versions-the only difference is the internal feedback resistor network (25.5kΩ for -12V output) and temperature grade (C-grade: 0°C to 70°C).
