Product details
Overview
LT1109ACS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter optimized for flash memory VPP generation and low-input-voltage boost applications. It delivers fixed 12V output at >150mA from 5V input, operates at 120kHz, draws only 360µA quiescent current in shutdown, and requires just four external components. It is used in PC plug-in cards and battery-powered peripherals where standby power minimization is critical.
For engineers reviewing the LT1109ACS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1109ACS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1109ACS8#TRPBF application, or LT1109ACS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 12V output version, SO-8 package, logic-controlled shutdown capability, 120kHz oscillator frequency, and compatibility with off-the-shelf surface-mount inductors such as Coiltronics CTX33-2 or Sumida CD54-330LC.
Technical Context
The LT1109ACS8#TRPBF implements a gated-oscillator architecture with Burst Mode™ operation to achieve micropower efficiency without external frequency compensation. Its internal 1.25V reference compares against the FB (SENSE) pin voltage to regulate output via duty-cycle control of an integrated NPN switch.
It features a dedicated SHUTDOWN pin that disables the oscillator when pulled low, maintaining only 360µA supply current. The SW pin supports up to 2A peak switch current, and the device operates across 2V–9V input while delivering stable 12V output with ≤120mV ripple under full load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12.00V ±4.6% (11.52V–12.55V), tightly regulated for flash programming voltage compliance |
| Oscillator Frequency | 120kHz typical (105–135kHz), enables use of small surface-mount inductors and capacitors |
| Quiescent Current | 360µA max in shutdown mode, minimizing battery drain in portable systems |
| Input Voltage Range | 2V to 9V, supporting direct operation from single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline supplies |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 0.65V max at 650mA (VIN = 3V), limiting conduction loss in high-current boost paths |
| Output Ripple | 60–120mV peak-to-peak, compatible with flash memory VPP tolerance requirements |
| Duty Cycle | 60–77% at full load, enabling efficient energy transfer across input voltage variations |
Pinout & Package
LT1109ACS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package with 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, and rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Accepts 2V–9V unregulated input; connects to input capacitor and inductor feed |
| NC | No connect | Pin 2 and Pin 7 are internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| SW | Switch node | Drives external diode and inductor; handles 2A peak current and 50V transient voltage |
| PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for switch and inductor; separate from signal ground to reduce noise |
| FB (SENSE) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; internal 1.25V reference sets regulation threshold |
| SHUTDOWN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulls low to disable oscillator and reduce IQ to 360µA |
| NC | No connect | Pin 7 is internally unused; floating or grounded connection not permitted |
| GND | Signal ground | Reference for FB, SHUTDOWN, and internal circuitry; routed separately from PGND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-Controlled Shutdown | Reduces system-level standby power by disabling switching while retaining 360µA supply draw |
| Fixed 12V Output Configuration | Eliminates external feedback resistors, simplifying BOM and layout for VPP generation |
| Four-Component Minimum Design | Requires only inductor, diode, input cap, and output cap-no compensation network needed |
| 120kHz Switching Frequency | Enables compact 33µH inductor selection (e.g., Coiltronics CTX33-2) and low-ESR tantalum output caps |
| Burst Mode™ Operation | Maintains regulation at light loads without pulse-skipping artifacts, preserving low-noise output |

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 | Higher 1.5MHz switching frequency; integrated Schottky diode; 100mA output current rating | Targeted at space-constrained, low-power applications-not suitable for >120mA flash programming loads | Select when board area is critical and load current ≤100mA; requires no external diode but trades output current for frequency |
| MAX680ESA+ | Charge-pump topology (no inductor); fixed ±10V dual output; 100mA per rail; 125kHz operation | Used where magnetic-free solution is mandatory; cannot deliver 12V at >100mA or support variable input below 4.5V | Select only for low-current, inductorless designs; unsuitable for flash VPP due to current and voltage limitations |
Compared with LTC1983ES6-12#TRMPBF and MAX680ESA+, the LT1109ACS8#TRPBF provides higher output current (150mA+), wider input range (2V–9V), and proven reliability in flash programming circuits-but requires an external inductor and diode, increasing BOM count slightly.

FAQ
What is the output voltage accuracy of the LT1109ACS8#TRPBF?
The LT1109ACS8#TRPBF provides a fixed 12V output with guaranteed accuracy of ±4.6% (11.52V to 12.55V) over temperature and line/load conditions. This specification ensures reliable flash memory programming voltage compliance without external trimming. The LT1109ACS8#TRPBF achieves this using an internal 1.25V reference and factory-trimmed feedback network specific to the -12 variant.
Can the LT1109ACS8#TRPBF operate from a 2V input source?
Yes, the LT1109ACS8#TRPBF supports input voltages as low as 2V, making it suitable for single-cell lithium or deeply discharged alkaline battery operation. At 2V input, it maintains regulation to 12V output with reduced maximum load current. The LT1109ACS8#TRPBF's ability to start and sustain oscillation down to 2V is confirmed in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
Does the LT1109ACS8#TRPBF require external frequency compensation components?
No, the LT1109ACS8#TRPBF uses a gated-oscillator architecture with inherent stability, eliminating the need for external compensation capacitors or resistors. This simplifies design and reduces bill-of-materials count. The LT1109ACS8#TRPBF achieves stable regulation through fixed-frequency (120kHz) burst-mode control and internal error amplifier design.
What is the recommended external diode for use with the LT1109ACS8#TRPBF?
The MBRS130T3 Schottky diode is explicitly recommended in the LT1109ACS8#TRPBF datasheet for its low forward voltage (~0.3V), fast recovery (<10ns), and surface-mount compatibility. Using slower diodes like the 1N4001 will severely degrade efficiency or prevent proper operation. The LT1109ACS8#TRPBF's SW pin voltage swing and switching speed demand Schottky performance.
Is the LT1109ACS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LT1109A family?
Yes, all LT1109A variants-including LT1109ACS8#TRPBF, LT1109ACS8-5, and LT1109ACS8-12-share identical SO-8 pinouts and package dimensions. Pin functions (VIN, SW, PGND, FB, SHUTDOWN, GND) are consistent across versions; only internal feedback configuration differs. The LT1109ACS8#TRPBF is the tape-and-reel packaged version of the LT1109ACS8-12.
