Product details
Overview
LT1109CS8#TRPBF 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, 1.6V minimum start-up voltage, and 120kHz oscillator frequency. It serves as a flash memory VPP generator and low-cost 3V-to-5V/5V-to-12V converter in battery-powered peripherals and PC plug-in cards.
For engineers reviewing the LT1109CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1109CS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1109CS8#TRPBF application, or LT1109CS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-controlled shutdown capability, fixed-output configuration, surface-mount inductor compatibility (e.g., 33µH), output ripple ≤50mV (5V version), and operation across 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature.
Technical Context
The LT1109CS8#TRPBF integrates a gated-oscillator architecture with internal 1.25V reference and comparator hysteresis (8–12.5mV), enabling stable regulation without external frequency compensation. Its N-channel power switch features 0.4V typical saturation voltage at 500mA and supports up to 1.2A peak switch current.
Input voltage range is 3V to 5V for the -5 variant and 3V to 12V for the -12 variant; output voltage tolerance is ±5% (4.75–5.25V or 11.52–12.55V). The SHUTDOWN pin accepts TTL-compatible logic levels (VIH ≥2.0V, VIL ≤0.8V) and reduces operating current to 320µA when asserted low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V or 12V; tightly regulated ±5% over line/load/temperature |
| Oscillator Frequency | 120kHz typical; enables use of small surface-mount inductors (e.g., 33µH) |
| Quiescent Current | 320µA at no load; minimizes battery drain in standby mode |
| Minimum Start-Up Voltage | 1.6V at VOUT pin; allows operation from single-cell or low-voltage sources |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 0.4V typical at 500mA; reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency |
| Duty Cycle | 45–60% at full load; optimized for step-up conversion efficiency |
| SHUTDOWN Input Logic | TTL-compatible; VIH ≥2.0V, VIL ≤0.8V; disables oscillator when low |
Pinout & Package

| 3 (SW) | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; connects to cathode of catch diode |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Power and signal ground return for all internal blocks |
| 5 (SENSE) | Feedback Sense Input | Monitors output via resistor divider; sets regulation threshold at 1.25V |
| 6 (SHUTDOWN) | Enable Control Input | Active-low logic input; disables oscillator and halts switching when low |

| Gated-Oscillator Architecture | Eliminates need for external frequency compensation components, simplifying BOM and layout |
| Low-Component Count Design | Requires only three external parts: inductor, diode, and output capacitor - ideal for cost-sensitive designs |
| Bootstrapped Feedback Sensing | Uses internal 1.25V reference and comparator hysteresis to stabilize regulation without trimming |
| Surface-Mount Optimized | Validated with off-the-shelf 33µH SMT inductors (e.g., Sumida CD54-330LC), enabling compact PCB footprint |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1109CN8#PBF | DIP-8 package instead of SOIC-8; identical electrical specs and pinout; higher θJA (130°C/W) | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework; less space-efficient than SOIC | Select when manual soldering or socket-based testing is required; avoid for high-density SMT production. |
| LT1301CS8#TRPBF | 20µA shutdown current (vs. 320µA), 200mA 12V output capability, same SOIC-8 footprint | Better suited for ultra-low-power systems requiring deeper sleep states or higher load currents | Choose when >60mA 12V output or sub-100µA shutdown current is mandatory; note higher cost and different feedback network. |
Compared with LT1109CS8#TRPBF, LT1109CN8#PBF offers identical functionality in through-hole format but sacrifices thermal performance and board area efficiency, while LT1301CS8#TRPBF delivers superior shutdown efficiency and output current at the expense of increased complexity and cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT1109CS8#TRPBF?
The LT1109CS8#TRPBF delivers up to 100mA at 5V when supplied from a 3V input, and up to 60mA at 12V from a 5V input. These values reflect guaranteed performance under typical conditions (TA = 25°C, proper external component selection). Peak switch current is rated at 1.2A, but sustained output depends on thermal limits, inductor DCR, and diode forward drop. Derating is required above 70°C ambient.
Does the LT1109CS8#TRPBF require external frequency compensation components?
No, the LT1109CS8#TRPBF does not require external frequency compensation components. Its gated-oscillator design incorporates built-in hysteresis (8–12.5mV) and a fixed 120kHz oscillator, eliminating the need for compensation networks. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability compared to adjustable-compensation boost controllers.
Can the LT1109CS8#TRPBF operate from a 2V input source?
No, the LT1109CS8#TRPBF cannot reliably start or regulate from a 2V input. Its minimum start-up voltage is 1.6V at the VOUT pin, but the input voltage (VIN) must be ≥3V for the -5 and -12 variants per datasheet specifications. Operation below 3V violates absolute maximum ratings and results in undefined behavior or failure to initiate switching.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on the LT1109CS8#TRPBF SOIC package?
The LT1109CS8#TRPBF has NC (No Connect) pins at positions 2, 7, and 8. These pins are not internally bonded and serve no electrical function. They must remain unconnected in PCB layout and schematic design. Leaving them floating or tying them to GND/VIN has no effect on operation but may risk mechanical stress or unintended coupling if misrouted.
How does the SHUTDOWN pin function on the LT1109CS8#TRPBF?
The SHUTDOWN pin on the LT1109CS8#TRPBF is an active-low TTL-compatible control input. When pulled below 0.8V (VIL), it disables the internal oscillator and halts switching, reducing total supply current to 320µA. When held ≥2.0V (VIH) or left open, the device operates normally. No pull-up resistor is required, as internal bias ensures default enable state.
