Product details
Overview
LT1109ACS8-12#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter in 8-lead SOIC package, delivering fixed 12V output at ≥150mA from 5V input, with 360µA standby current and logic-controlled shutdown. It serves as a flash memory VPP generator in battery-powered peripherals and PC plug-in cards.
For engineers reviewing the LT1109ACS8-12#PBF datasheet, LT1109ACS8-12#PBF pinout, LT1109ACS8-12#PBF application, or LT1109ACS8-12#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 12V output accuracy (±4.1%), 120kHz oscillator frequency, 2A switch current rating, and compatibility with off-the-shelf surface-mount inductors such as Coiltronics CTX33-2 or Sumida CD54-330LC.
Technical Context
The LT1109ACS8-12#PBF employs Burst Mode™ operation and a gated 120kHz oscillator to achieve micropower efficiency without external compensation. Its internal NPN power switch features 0.65V saturation voltage at 650mA and supports up to 2A peak current.
Feedback is regulated via a precision 1.25V reference and comparator A1; the fixed 12V version uses internal resistor divider (R1 = 29kΩ, R2 = 250kΩ), eliminating external feedback components. Shutdown pin asserts low to disable oscillation while maintaining 360µA quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12.00V ±4.1% (11.52V–12.55V), enabling reliable flash memory programming voltage compliance. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 120kHz typical (105–135kHz), permitting use of compact 33µH surface-mount inductors like CTX33-2. |
| Quiescent Current | 360µA typical in shutdown mode, minimizing battery drain in always-on peripheral applications. |
| Switch Current Rating | 2A peak, supporting simultaneous programming of up to four flash memory chips at 120mA load. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2V to 9V, allowing direct operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) or dual-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2V) sources. |
| Output Ripple | 60–120mV peak-to-peak at full load, compatible with standard 47µF/20V tantalum output capacitors. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C ambient, validated for industrial-grade PC plug-in card and disk drive environments. |
Pinout & Package
LT1109ACS8-12#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package, 0.150" wide, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte tin finish. Thermal resistance θJA = 130°C/W enables operation at full load without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | Accepts 2V–9V unregulated input; connects directly to battery or intermediate rail. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1111CS8-12#PBF | Includes internal current limit (1.5A), wider input range (1.8V–10V), higher efficiency at variable input (e.g., discharging batteries). | Better suited for battery inputs with >2V variation; replaces LT1109ACS8-12#PBF where input drops below 3V under load. | Select when input voltage varies significantly; retains same SOIC-8 footprint but requires updated inductor (22µH). |
| TPS61042DRCT | Higher switching frequency (1.3MHz), smaller external components, but fixed 12V accuracy ±5% and 500µA shutdown current. | Enables ultra-compact layout for space-constrained portable designs; lacks PGND/GND separation for high-noise immunity. | Choose for miniaturized applications where PCB area is critical and ripple tolerance is relaxed; verify EMI with 1.3MHz harmonics. |
Compared with LT1109ACS8-12#PBF, LT1111CS8-12#PBF adds current limiting for robustness with varying input, while TPS61042DRCT trades quiescent current and noise performance for size reduction-neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LT1109ACS8-12#PBF?
The LT1109ACS8-12#PBF delivers a fixed 12.00V output with a guaranteed tolerance of ±4.1% (11.52V to 12.55V) across temperature and line/load conditions. This specification ensures reliable compliance with JEDEC-standard flash memory VPP requirements, and is verified at TA = 25°C with VIN = 5V and load currents up to 150mA.
Can the LT1109ACS8-12#PBF operate from a 2V input source?
Yes, the LT1109ACS8-12#PBF supports input voltages as low as 2V, enabling direct operation from partially discharged alkaline or NiMH battery packs. At 2V input, it delivers reduced output current (≈35mA at 12V), as confirmed in Typical Performance Curve G01 and Application Circuit TA05-making it viable for low-power flash programming in handheld instruments.
Does the LT1109ACS8-12#PBF require external feedback resistors?
No, the LT1109ACS8-12#PBF is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider (R1 = 29kΩ, R2 = 250kΩ) setting the 12V regulation point. Unlike the adjustable LT1109A, it has no FB pin connection-pins 5 (FB/SENSE) and 2/7 (NC) are not externally accessible, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LT1109ACS8-12#PBF?
The LT1109ACS8-12#PBF delivers over 150mA continuously at 12V output when supplied from a 5V source, as specified in the Applications section and validated in Figure TA02. This capability supports simultaneous programming of multiple flash memory chips, provided thermal limits (TJMAX = 90°C) and PCB copper area meet SOIC-8 derating guidelines.
Which diode is recommended for use with the LT1109ACS8-12#PBF?
The MBRS130T3 Schottky diode is explicitly recommended in the LT1109ACS8-12#PBF datasheet (Figure TA01) for its 30V reverse rating, 0.45V forward drop at 1A, and low leakage (<1µA). Its surface-mount SOD-123 package matches the SOIC-8 footprint constraints, and its fast recovery eliminates switching losses that would degrade efficiency with slower rectifiers like 1N4001.
