Product details
Overview
LT1109ACN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter in 8-lead plastic DIP package, designed as a flash memory VPP generator with fixed 12V output, 120kHz oscillator frequency, 360µA standby current, and logic-controlled shutdown. It delivers up to 150mA at 12V from a 5V input for simultaneous programming of multiple flash memory chips.
For engineers reviewing the LT1109ACN8#PBF datasheet, LT1109ACN8#PBF pinout, LT1109ACN8#PBF application, or LT1109ACN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2V–9V), output voltage accuracy (±2.5% at 12V), switch saturation voltage (0.65V typ at 650mA), thermal limits (TJMAX = 90°C), and compatibility with off-the-shelf surface-mount inductors.
Technical Context
The LT1109ACN8#PBF implements Burst Mode™ operation to maintain micropower efficiency while delivering >2W output power. Its gated-oscillator architecture eliminates need for external frequency compensation components and enables stable regulation without internal current limiting.
It features a precision 1.25V reference and comparator-based feedback loop controlling an NPN power switch. Shutdown functionality overrides oscillator operation independently of feedback, maintaining 360µA quiescent current when disabled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12.00V ±2.5% - ensures reliable flash memory programming voltage compliance per JEDEC standards. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 120kHz typical - enables use of compact 20–33µH surface-mount inductors and low-ESR tantalum capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 360µA max (shutdown off) - minimizes battery drain in portable flash programming systems. |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 0.65V max at 650mA - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency above 100mA load. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2V to 9V - supports direct operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), 3.3V logic rails, or 5V bus supplies. |
| Shutdown Pin Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V - compatible with TTL and CMOS logic-level control signals. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - validated for commercial-grade embedded systems and PC plug-in card environments. |
Pinout & Package
LT1109ACN8#PBF uses an 8-lead plastic DIP (N8) package with 0.300-inch width, through-hole mounting, and industry-standard lead pitch (0.100 inch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | Accepts 2V–9V unregulated input; connects to bulk capacitor and inductor feed point. |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain floating - no PCB trace or component connection. |
| SW | Switch Node | Drives external Schottky diode anode; carries high-frequency pulsed current up to 2A peak. |
| PGND | Power Ground | High-current return path for switch and inductor; separate from signal ground to reduce noise coupling. |
| FB (SENSE) | Feedback Input | Monitors output via resistor divider; internally referenced to 1.25V for fixed 12V configuration. |
| SHUTDOWN | Enable Control | Active-low logic input; pulls oscillator gate low to halt switching and reduce IQ to 360µA. |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain floating - no PCB trace or component connection. |
| GND | Signal Ground | Reference for FB, SHUTDOWN, and internal circuitry; tied to PGND at single point near device. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-Controlled Shutdown | Reduces system-level standby power by disabling switching while retaining full restart capability on pin transition. |
| Fixed 12V Output Configuration | Eliminates external feedback resistors - simplifies BOM and layout for flash VPP applications requiring precise 12V. |
| Off-the-Shelf Inductor Support | Enables use of standard 20–33µH surface-mount inductors (e.g., Coiltronics CTX20-1, Sumida CD54-220LC) without custom magnetics. |
| Burst Mode™ Operation | Maintains regulation down to µA load currents while holding IQ ≤ 360µA - critical for battery-backed memory programming. |
| Four-Component Total System | Requires only inductor, Schottky diode, input capacitor, and output capacitor - reduces bill-of-materials cost and board area. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC/DC boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1983ES6-12#TRMPBF | 6-pin TSOT-23, 1.5MHz switching, 100mA output, integrated Schottky diode. | Higher frequency enables smaller passive components but lower output current; not suitable for 4-chip flash programming. | Select when board space is constrained and load ≤100mA; requires different layout and inductor selection. |
| MAX630CPA+ | 8-pin PDIP, 100kHz, fixed 5V/12V options, 120mA max, no shutdown pin. | Lacks logic-controlled shutdown and delivers lower output current; older architecture with higher IQ (600µA). | Select only for legacy replacement where shutdown control is unnecessary and load ≤120mA. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT1109ACN8#PBF at 12V?
The LT1109ACN8#PBF delivers up to 150mA at 12V when supplied from a 5V input, as verified in the datasheet Figure TA02 and Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This output current supports simultaneous programming of up to four standard 5V flash memory devices under typical conditions.
Does the LT1109ACN8#PBF require external feedback resistors for its fixed 12V output?
No, the LT1109ACN8#PBF does not require external feedback resistors. Its fixed 12V output version integrates internal resistor scaling to the 1.25V reference, as confirmed in the Block Diagram (Figure BD) and Electrical Characteristics table where VOUT is specified as 11.52V–12.55V for LT1109A-12 variants.
Can the LT1109ACN8#PBF operate from a 2V input supply?
Yes, the LT1109ACN8#PBF supports input voltages as low as 2V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings (VIN: –0.4V to 20V) and Electrical Characteristics table (VIN min = 2V). At 2V input, it can generate 12V output but with reduced maximum load current compared to 5V operation.
What type of external diode is recommended for use with the LT1109ACN8#PBF?
The LT1109ACN8#PBF requires a fast-switching Schottky diode such as MBRS130T3 (surface-mount) or 1N5818 (through-hole), as explicitly recommended in the Applications section and Typical Application Schematics (Figures TA01–TA07). General-purpose rectifiers like 1N4001 are unsuitable due to excessive reverse recovery time.
Is the LT1109ACN8#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LT1109A family?
Yes, the LT1109ACN8#PBF shares identical pinout and package dimensions with LT1109ACN8-5 and LT1109ACN8 (adjustable), as shown in the N8 Package drawing and Pin Function table. All three variants use the same 8-lead DIP footprint and terminal assignments, enabling drop-in substitution where output voltage requirements align.
