Product details
Overview
LT1109ACN8-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter in 8-lead plastic DIP package, delivering fixed 5V output at up to 110mA from 2V input, with 360µA standby current, 120kHz oscillator frequency, and logic-controlled shutdown. It serves as a flash memory VPP generator and low-input-voltage boost converter in battery-powered peripherals and PC plug-in cards.
For engineers reviewing the LT1109ACN8-5#PBF datasheet, LT1109ACN8-5#PBF pinout, LT1109ACN8-5#PBF application, or LT1109ACN8-5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2V–9V), output sense voltage tolerance (±2.5%), shutdown pin logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), and thermal limits (TJMAX = 90°C, θJA = 130°C/W).
Technical Context
The LT1109ACN8-5#PBF uses Burst Mode™ operation and a gated 120kHz oscillator to achieve micropower efficiency without external compensation. Its internal NPN switch (2A peak rating) drives an external inductor-diode-capacitor network, with feedback via the SENSE (FB) pin referenced to a 1.25V internal bandgap.
It features no internal current limiting-operation relies on stable input voltage and properly sized external components. Shutdown functionality disables the oscillator while maintaining 360µA quiescent draw, and the device operates across 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature with PGND/GND separation for improved noise immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±2.5% (VOUT = 4.75V–5.25V); enables direct programming of 5V-tolerant flash memory arrays. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2V to 9V; supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–3.7V), NiMH (2.4V), or regulated 3.3V/5V rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 360µA typical (switch off); ensures minimal battery drain during standby in portable equipment. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 120kHz typical (105–135kHz); permits use of small, low-cost surface-mount inductors (e.g., 10–33µH). |
| Shutdown Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8V (active-low disable), VIH ≥ 2.0V; compatible with TTL/CMOS logic without level-shifting. |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 0.65V max at VIN = 3V, ISW = 650mA; limits conduction loss and thermal rise under load. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C ambient; validated for commercial-grade embedded peripherals and industrial add-in cards. |
Pinout & Package
LT1109ACN8-5#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DIP (N8) package with 0.300-inch width, through-hole mounting, and standard 0.100-inch pin pitch. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise from top-left when viewed from top.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2V–9V unregulated input; connects to bulk capacitor and inductor feed point. |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pad; must remain unconnected per design-no routing or grounding. |
| SW | Switch Collector Node | Drives external inductor; high-voltage switching node (up to 50V) requiring careful layout. |
| PGND | Power Ground | Return path for switch current; separate from signal ground to minimize noise coupling. |
| FB (SENSE) | Feedback Input | Monitors output via resistive divider; internal 1.25V reference sets regulation threshold. |
| SHUTDOWN | Enable/Disable Control | Active-low logic input; pulls oscillator gate low to halt switching and reduce IQ to 360µA. |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pad; electrically isolated-must not be tied to any net. |
| GND | Signal Ground | Analog reference for FB and SHUTDOWN; routed separately from PGND to avoid ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four-component solution | Requires only inductor, Schottky diode, input/output capacitors-reduces BOM cost and board area. |
| Burst Mode™ operation | Maintains regulation at light loads while holding IQ ≤ 500µA across full temperature range. |
| Logic-compatible shutdown | Direct interface to microcontroller GPIO without pull-ups or level shifters. |
| Off-the-shelf inductor support | Validated with Coiltronics CTX-series and Sumida CD54-series surface-mount inductors. |
| Separate PGND/GND pins | Enables clean power return path isolation, critical for low-noise analog sensing in mixed-signal systems. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1109ACS8-5#PBF | Same electrical specs but in 8-lead SOIC (S8) package; 130°C/W θJA vs 150°C/W for N8. | Preferred for space-constrained, surface-mount designs; requires reflow-compatible layout. | Select when board assembly uses SMT-only process and thermal margin allows SOIC package. |
| LT1111CS8-5#PBF | Includes internal current limit (600mA), wider input range (1.8V–10V), higher efficiency at low VIN. | Better suited for variable-input sources like batteries; supports higher output current (150mA). | Choose when input voltage varies significantly (e.g., discharging Li-ion) or overcurrent protection is required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT1109ACN8-5#PBF?
The LT1109ACN8-5#PBF delivers up to 110mA at 5V output when supplied from a 2V–5V input, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics table (VIN = 2V, VOUT = 5V). Performance degrades above this load due to switch saturation voltage and thermal limits-continuous operation beyond 110mA risks exceeding TJMAX = 90°C in the N8 package.
Does the LT1109ACN8-5#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT1109ACN8-5#PBF uses a gated-oscillator architecture with fixed 120kHz frequency and no internal compensation network. The datasheet explicitly states "no frequency compensation components required," enabling stable operation with only four external parts: inductor, Schottky diode, and two capacitors.
Can the LT1109ACN8-5#PBF operate from a 1.8V input source?
No-the LT1109ACN8-5#PBF has a minimum specified input voltage of 2V (per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables). Operation below 2V is not characterized and may result in failure to regulate or start-up; for 1.8V inputs, the LT1111CS8-5#PBF is recommended instead.
What is the purpose of the separate PGND and GND pins on the LT1109ACN8-5#PBF?
The LT1109ACN8-5#PBF separates PGND (power ground for the switch node) from GND (signal ground for FB and SHUTDOWN) to prevent high di/dt switching noise from modulating the feedback reference. This improves regulation accuracy and reduces output ripple-especially critical in noise-sensitive flash programming applications.
Is the LT1109ACN8-5#PBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the "#PBF" suffix in LT1109ACN8-5#PBF denotes lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS-compliant packaging per Analog Devices' product marking convention. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and is rated for Pb-free reflow soldering profiles.
