Product details
Overview
LT1109CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter in 8-lead SOIC package, delivering fixed 5V or 12V output with 320µA quiescent current, 120kHz oscillator, and logic-controlled shutdown. It requires only three external components and supports flash memory VPP generation, 3V-to-5V, and 5V-to-12V conversion in battery-powered peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the LT1109CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1109CS8#PBF pinout, LT1109CS8#PBF application, or LT1109CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum 1.6V start-up voltage, 1.2A switch current rating, adjustable/fixed output variants, and SOIC-8 thermal performance (θJA = 150°C/W).
Technical Context
The LT1109CS8#PBF implements a gated-oscillator topology with internal 1.25V reference and comparator-based feedback control. Its 120kHz fixed-frequency operation enables use of small surface-mount inductors (e.g., 33µH), while the separate SENSE pin allows input-referred regulation independent of output voltage.
Logic-controlled SHUTDOWN disables the oscillator when pulled low, reducing system power consumption without altering quiescent current magnitude-only its source (VIN instead of VOUT). The device operates in discontinuous conduction mode and requires no frequency compensation components due to built-in comparator hysteresis (8–12.5mV).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V (±2.5%) or 12V (±4.6%) depending on variant; stable under 3–5V (5V version) or 3–12V (12V version) input range. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 120kHz typical; enables compact 33µH inductor and 22µF output capacitor selection for space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 320µA at no load; critical for battery life in always-on flash memory programming circuits and portable peripherals. |
| Start-Up Voltage | 1.6V minimum at VOUT pin; supports single-cell Li-ion or two-cell alkaline operation without auxiliary bias. |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 0.7V max at 500mA; limits conduction loss in high-current boost stages for 60–100mA output capability. |
| Duty Cycle | 50% typical at full load; balances energy transfer efficiency and switch stress in step-up topologies. |
| SHUTDOWN Input Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V; compatible with standard CMOS/TTL logic interfaces for host-controlled power gating. |
Pinout & Package
LT1109CS8#PBF uses an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package with 150°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, rated for 0°C to 70°C operating temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input Power Supply | Connects to primary low-voltage source (e.g., 3V or 5V rail); powers internal circuitry directly-not bootstrapped from VOUT. |
| 2 (NC) | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected per manufacturer specification. |
| 3 (SW) | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; carries pulsed 1.2A peak current; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Analog and power ground common point; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into SENSE path. |
| 5 (SENSE) | Feedback Input | Monitors regulated output via resistor divider; enables precise 1.25V reference tracking for stable voltage regulation. |
| 6 (SHUTDOWN) | Enable Control | Active-low digital input; pulls oscillator offline when ≤0.8V, reducing system standby power without PCB redesign. |
| 7 (NC) | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected per manufacturer specification. |
| 8 (NC) | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected per manufacturer specification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three-Component Design | Requires only inductor, diode, and output capacitor-reduces BOM count and layout area versus controller+MOSFET solutions. |
| Logic-Controlled Shutdown | Enables host microcontroller to gate power delivery without external MOSFETs or level shifters. |
| Gated-Oscillator Architecture | Eliminates need for external compensation network, simplifying design validation and reducing component risk. |
| 1.2A Internal Switch | Supports up to 100mA at 5V or 60mA at 12V output without external switching transistor. |
| 1.6V Minimum Start-Up | Permits direct operation from depleted batteries or single-cell LiFePO₄ sources without pre-bias circuitry. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1301CS8#PBF | 20µA shutdown current vs. 320µA; 200mA output at 12V; higher efficiency at light loads. | Preferred for ultra-low-power sleep modes where <50µA system standby is mandatory. | Select LT1301CS8#PBF when shutdown current dominates total system budget and 120mA output suffices. |
| MAX680ESA+ | Charge-pump topology (no inductor); fixed ±10V dual output; 100kHz switching; 120µA IQ. | Suitable only for low-current bipolar supplies-not for high-current unipolar VPP generation. | Choose MAX680ESA+ only for dual-rail analog circuits requiring ±10V from 5V, not for flash programming or motor drive. |
Compared with LT1109CS8#PBF, LT1301CS8#PBF offers superior shutdown efficiency but lacks pin compatibility and requires revised inductor selection; MAX680ESA+ eliminates magnetics but cannot deliver the 60–100mA continuous current needed for VPP generation.

FAQ
What output voltage options are supported by the LT1109CS8#PBF?
The LT1109CS8#PBF is available in fixed-output variants: LT1109CS8-5 delivers 5V ±2.5%, and LT1109CS8-12 delivers 12V ±4.6%. Both operate across specified input ranges (3–5V for -5, 3–12V for -12) and maintain regulation under load up to 100mA (5V) or 60mA (12V). The part number suffix determines output voltage-LT1109CS8#PBF itself is a base ordering designation requiring suffix identification.
Does the LT1109CS8#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT1109CS8#PBF does not require external compensation components. Its gated-oscillator architecture and built-in comparator hysteresis (8–12.5mV) eliminate the need for frequency compensation networks. This simplifies design, reduces bill-of-materials count, and improves reliability versus traditional voltage-mode controllers that mandate RC networks for loop stability.
Can the LT1109CS8#PBF start up from a single 1.5V alkaline cell?
No, the LT1109CS8#PBF cannot start from a single 1.5V alkaline cell. Its minimum start-up voltage is 1.6V at the VOUT pin. However, it will reliably start from two series alkaline cells (nominal 3.0V, down to ~2.2V under load) or a single Li-ion cell (fully charged at 4.2V, discharged to 3.0V). For true 1.5V start capability, consider the LT1615 or LTC3525 families.
What is the maximum recommended inductor value for the LT1109CS8#PBF?
The LT1109CS8#PBF is optimized for 33µH inductors (e.g., Sumida CD54-330LC or Coiltronics CTX33-1), but inductors up to 100µH may be used with reduced peak switch current and lower ripple-provided DCR remains below 0.5Ω. Larger values increase turn-on time and risk entering continuous conduction mode, which degrades light-load efficiency and may cause regulation instability if output capacitance is undersized.
Is the LT1109CS8#PBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LT1109CS8#PBF is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The "#PBF" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free (Pb-free) packaging per JEDEC J-STD-609, with matte tin lead finish and halogen-free molding compound. It meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is qualified for commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) per original Linear Technology specifications.
