Product details
Overview
LT1110CS8-12#PBF from Analog Devices is a micropower DC-DC converter in 8-lead SOIC package, delivering fixed 12V output with 11.4–12.6V regulation tolerance, 1.0V minimum input voltage, and 300µA quiescent current. It operates in step-up or step-down mode, integrates a 1A internal power switch, and includes on-chip auxiliary gain block for low-battery detection in single-cell battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1110CS8-12#PBF datasheet, LT1110CS8-12#PBF pinout, LT1110CS8-12#PBF application, or LT1110CS8-12#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum 1.0V start-up capability, user-adjustable switch current limit via ILIM pin, reverse battery protection up to –1.6V, and compatibility with surface-mount inductors and capacitors in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The LT1110CS8-12#PBF uses a gated oscillator architecture with 70kHz nominal switching frequency and adaptive base drive to maintain switch saturation without overdrive. Its comparator-based feedback loop compares FB/SENSE voltage against a 220mV internal reference, enabling discontinuous-mode operation that reduces quiescent current to 300µA when regulation is met.
It features dual-mode topology support: in step-up mode, SW1 drives the inductor while SW2 connects to ground; in step-down mode, SW1 connects to VIN and SW2 drives the inductor. The integrated auxiliary gain block (A2) functions as a precision low-battery detector with 220mV reference and open-collector AO output capable of sinking 300µA.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LT1110CS8-12#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package, 3.9mm × 4.9mm footprint, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions and gull-wing leads for reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ILIM (Pin 1) | Current limit programming input | Resistor to VIN sets switch current threshold; 220Ω yields ~400mA limit, preventing inductor saturation at high VIN |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main power supply input | Accepts 1.0V–30V; powers internal circuitry and switch driver; minimum 1.0V enables single-cell operation |
| SW1 (Pin 3) | Collector of internal NPN power switch | In step-up: connects to inductor/diode node; in step-down: ties directly to VIN rail |
| SW2 (Pin 4) | Emiter of internal NPN power switch | In step-up: connects to GND; in step-down: drives inductor; must not fall below –0.5V |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for feedback, gain block, and oscillator; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| AO (Pin 6) | Auxiliary gain block output | Open-collector output sinking up to 300µA; used for low-battery flag or linear post-regulator control |
| SET (Pin 7) | Auxiliary gain block inverting input | Connected to resistor divider from VIN; sets trip point for AO output relative to 220mV internal reference |
| FB/SENSE (Pin 8) | Feedback input / voltage sense | On LT1110CS8-12#PBF: internal resistor network fixes output to 12V; no external divider needed |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar micropower DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1983ES6-12#TRMPBF | Higher 1.2MHz switching frequency; 25µA quiescent current; requires external feedback resistors for 12V | Better suited for ultra-low-noise, high-density layouts where small inductors are mandatory | Select LTC1983 if board space is critical and input voltage ≥2.7V; LT1110CS8-12#PBF remains preferred for sub-1.5V start-up |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1110CS8-12#PBF to start regulation?
The LT1110CS8-12#PBF starts regulation at 1.0V input-verified across temperature and process corners. This enables reliable operation with single alkaline, NiMH, or Li-ion cells down to end-of-discharge voltage. Below 1.0V, the internal oscillator remains inactive and no output is generated. The LT1110CS8-12#PBF maintains regulation stability even as input decays from 1.5V to 1.0V in real-world battery discharge profiles.
Can LT1110CS8-12#PBF be used in step-down (buck) configuration?
Yes, LT1110CS8-12#PBF supports step-down operation with input up to 30V and output fixed at 12V. In buck mode, SW1 connects to VIN and SW2 drives the inductor. Output ripple remains within specification when using recommended Schottky diodes and low-ESR capacitors. The LT1110CS8-12#PBF's 1.5A internal switch and ILIM pin current limiting ensure safe operation across varying input conditions.
How does the reverse battery protection work on LT1110CS8-12#PBF?
The LT1110CS8-12#PBF guarantees safe operation with –1.6V applied to GND and SW2 pins while VIN, ILIM, and SW1 remain grounded. Internal circuitry limits reverse current to ≤750mA, preventing latch-up or metallization damage. This protection is intrinsic-not dependent on external components-and is tested per Absolute Maximum Ratings. The LT1110CS8-12#PBF survives repeated reverse insertion events without degradation.
What external components are required for basic LT1110CS8-12#PBF operation?
Only three external components are required: a surface-mount inductor (e.g., 47µH), Schottky catch diode (e.g., MBRS120T3), and output capacitor (e.g., 15µF tantalum). No feedback resistors are needed-the LT1110CS8-12#PBF's internal resistor network fixes output to 12V. Input decoupling (e.g., 10µF ceramic) is recommended if battery leads exceed 2 inches. All parts are standard off-the-shelf items.
Does LT1110CS8-12#PBF include built-in low-battery detection?
Yes, LT1110CS8-12#PBF integrates an auxiliary gain block (A2) with 220mV internal reference and open-collector AO output. By connecting a resistor divider from VIN to GND on the SET pin, designers configure precise low-battery thresholds (e.g., 1.1V). The AO pin sinks 300µA when triggered, directly interfacing with microcontroller GPIOs. This eliminates external comparators and saves board space-core functionality of the LT1110CS8-12#PBF.
