Product details
Overview
LT1109ACS8#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#PBF datasheet, LT1109ACS8#PBF pinout, LT1109ACS8#PBF application, or LT1109ACS8#PBF equivalent, key selection factors include fixed 12V output accuracy (±4.2%), 120kHz oscillator frequency, 2A switch current rating, and compatibility with off-the-shelf surface-mount inductors like Coiltronics CTX33-2.
Technical Context
The LT1109ACS8#PBF implements a gated-oscillator architecture with a 1.25V internal reference and comparator-based feedback control. Its Burst Mode™ operation enables micropower efficiency without external frequency compensation components.
It features an integrated NPN power switch with 0.65V saturation voltage at 650mA (VIN = 3V), PGND and GND separation for improved noise immunity, and shutdown pin logic thresholds of VIH = 2.0V and VIL = 0.8V - enabling direct interface with 3.3V or 5V logic systems.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Micropower VPP generator operating from single 3.3V or dual-cell alkaline supply. Use Value: 2V minimum input allows operation down to near-end-of-life battery voltage; fixed 12V output eliminates trimming resistors. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1300CS8#PBF | Higher 250kHz switching frequency; 3.5A switch; requires external compensation | Supports higher output currents (>300mA) and faster transient response but increases component count | Choose when >150mA 12V load or tighter regulation under dynamic load is required |
| TPS61040DRCT | 2.5V–6V input; 28V max output; integrated 500mA switch; 500kHz fixed-frequency PWM | Offers adjustable output and better light-load efficiency via PFM mode, but lacks PGND/GND separation | Prefer for designs needing programmable VOUT or lower EMI profile in noise-sensitive systems |
Compared with LT1109ACS8#PBF, LT1300CS8#PBF delivers higher current and speed at the cost of added external components, while TPS61040DRCT provides flexibility and integration at the expense of analog noise isolation - making LT1109ACS8#PBF optimal for cost-sensitive, low-noise flash VPP generation where fixed 12V and minimal BOM are critical.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LT1109ACS8#PBF?
The LT1109ACS8#PBF is a fixed 12V version with guaranteed output voltage of 11.52V to 12.55V (±4.2%) over temperature and line/load conditions, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table at TA = 25°C and full operating range. This tolerance ensures reliable flash memory programming voltage compliance without external trimming.
Can the LT1109ACS8#PBF operate from a 2V input supply?
Yes, the LT1109ACS8#PBF supports input voltages from 2V to 9V. At 2V input, it can still regulate 12V output, though maximum deliverable current decreases due to duty cycle limitation - confirmed in typical performance graphs showing usable output down to VIN = 2V with appropriate inductor selection.
Does the LT1109ACS8#PBF require external frequency compensation components?
No, the LT1109ACS8#PBF uses a gated-oscillator architecture with inherent stability and does not require external frequency compensation components. Its 120kHz fixed-frequency operation and Burst Mode™ control eliminate the need for loop compensation networks, simplifying design and reducing component count to just four externals.
What is the purpose of the separate PGND and GND pins on the LT1109ACS8#PBF?
The LT1109ACS8#PBF separates PGND (power ground for the switch node) from GND (signal ground for FB and SHUTDOWN) to minimize noise coupling from high-current switching paths into the sensitive feedback and control circuitry. This improves regulation accuracy and reduces output voltage ripple, especially critical in precision VPP applications.
Which diode is recommended for use with the LT1109ACS8#PBF in a 12V boost design?
The MBRS130T3 Schottky diode is explicitly recommended in the LT1109ACS8#PBF datasheet for 12V boost designs. It offers low forward voltage (~0.3V), fast recovery (<5ns), and low leakage - ensuring high efficiency and stable operation. General-purpose rectifiers like 1N4001 are unsuitable due to excessive switching time and poor efficiency.
