Product details
Overview
LT1109CS8-12#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-output 12V step-up DC/DC converter in an 8-lead SOIC package, featuring logic-controlled shutdown, 120kHz oscillator, 320µA quiescent current, and 1.6V minimum start-up voltage. It delivers up to 80mA output from a 5V input and is used in flash memory VPP generation and peripheral power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT1109CS8-12#PBF datasheet, LT1109CS8-12#PBF pinout, LT1109CS8-12#PBF application, or LT1109CS8-12#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown control capability, fixed 12V output tolerance (±4.2%), 33µH inductor requirement, and compatibility with low-ESR tantalum output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LT1109CS8-12#PBF implements a gated-oscillator topology with internal 1.25V reference and comparator-based feedback, eliminating need for external frequency compensation. Its SENSE pin enables input-referred regulation, decoupling VIN supply from output voltage path.
It integrates a 1.2A switch with 0.7V typical saturation voltage at 500mA, operates in discontinuous conduction mode, and uses bootstrapped gate drive. The SHUTDOWN pin disables oscillator when pulled low, maintaining 320µA quiescent current during disable.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12.00V ±4.2% (11.52V–12.55V), enabling direct VPP programming for EPROM/Flash devices |
| Oscillator Frequency | 120kHz typical (100–140kHz), permitting use of compact 33µH surface-mount inductors |
| Quiescent Current | 320µA typical at shutdown, minimizing battery drain in standby mode |
| Start-Up Voltage | 1.6V minimum at VOUT pin, supporting single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell NiMH operation |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 0.7V max at 500mA, limiting conduction loss and thermal rise under load |
| Duty Cycle | 50% typical at full load, balancing efficiency and inductor size constraints |
| SHUTDOWN Threshold | VIL = 0.8V max, VIH = 2.0V min - compatible with 3.3V/5V logic interfaces |
Pinout & Package
LT1109CS8-12#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions (3.9mm × 4.9mm × 1.5mm), θJA = 150°C/W, and Pb-free #PBF finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SENSE) | Feedback reference input | Connects to output divider network (fixed version ties internally); sets regulation point at 1.25V threshold |
| 2 (SHUTDOWN) | Logic enable/disable control | Pull low ≤0.8V to halt oscillator; float or pull high ≥2.0V for normal operation |
| 3 (NC) | No connect | Not bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 4 (NC) | No connect | Not bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 5 (VIN) | Main power input | Accepts 3V–12V DC input; powers internal circuitry directly (not bootstrapped) |
| 6 (NC) | No connect | Not bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 7 (SW) | Internal switch collector | Drives external inductor/diode; switches at 120kHz with 4.2µs typical ON time |
| 8 (GND) | Analog and power ground | Common return for feedback, shutdown, and switch paths; requires low-impedance PCB connection |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1983ES6-12#TRMPBF | Higher efficiency (90% vs 82%), 20µA shutdown current, but requires external MOSFET and diode | Better suited for high-volume, battery-critical designs where PCB area is secondary to runtime | Select if >50mA continuous load and <10µA shutdown current are mandatory; avoid if BOM simplicity is priority |
| MAX630ESA+ | Fixed 12V output, 100kHz oscillator, no shutdown pin, TO-220-5 package | Targeted at industrial power supplies where thermal mass outweighs size constraints | Choose only for through-hole assembly or when SHUTDOWN functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with LT1109CS8-12#PBF, LTC1983ES6-12#TRMPBF reduces quiescent consumption by 94% but increases component count and layout complexity, while MAX630ESA+ eliminates shutdown control and doubles thermal resistance - making LT1109CS8-12#PBF optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, logic-controllable 12V boost applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT1109CS8-12#PBF?
The LT1109CS8-12#PBF delivers up to 80mA at 12V when supplied with a 5V input, as confirmed in the Typical Performance Characteristics section (TPC01). Output current decreases at lower input voltages - e.g., ~40mA at 3V input - due to duty cycle and switch current limits. Peak switch current is rated at 1.2A, but sustained output is thermally limited by the SOIC-8 package's 150°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Does the LT1109CS8-12#PBF require an external feedback resistor divider?
No. The LT1109CS8-12#PBF is a fixed-output variant: internal resistor network sets the SENSE pin reference to 1.25V, resulting in a nominal 12.00V output. Unlike adjustable versions (e.g., LT1109CS8), it does not expose FB or require external R1/R2. Pin 1 is SENSE (not FB), and pins 3, 4, and 6 are NC - all verified in the SOIC pinout diagram (PO103) and Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the LT1109CS8-12#PBF operate from a 2.5V input source?
No. The LT1109CS8-12#PBF has a minimum start-up voltage of 1.6V at the VOUT pin, but its input voltage operating range is specified as 3V to 12V for the S8 package (Electrical Characteristics, VIN row). At 2.5V input, regulation fails - output drops below 11.52V and oscillation becomes unstable, as shown in TPC01 load curves. For sub-3V operation, consider the LT1109CZ-12 in TO-92, which supports 1.6V start-up but lacks shutdown.
What is the recommended inductor value and type for the LT1109CS8-12#PBF?
The datasheet specifies a 33µH surface-mount inductor as standard (e.g., Sumida CD54-330LC or Coiltronics CTX33-1), rated for ≥80mA DC current and ≤0.5Ω DCR. Ferrite-core SMD inductors are preferred for EMI control; toroidal or pot-core types are advised near sensitive analog circuits. Rod-core inductors may be used where EMI is non-critical and cost is prioritized - all validated in Application Note DC129 and TPC01.
Is the LT1109CS8-12#PBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The "#PBF" suffix explicitly denotes Pb-free (lead-free) packaging per JEDEC J-STD-609, confirmed in the Package Description section (page 8) and Linear Technology's 1993 revision B datasheet. The device meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, with homogeneous lead content <1000 ppm, and is compatible with standard SnAgCu reflow profiles (peak 260°C).
