Product details
Overview
LT1110CS8#PBF from Analog Devices is a micropower gated-oscillator DC-DC converter in 8-lead SOIC package, operating from 1.0V to 30V input, delivering fixed 5V or 12V output with 300µA quiescent current and internal 1A power switch. It supports step-up and step-down topologies and integrates an on-chip auxiliary gain block for low-battery detection in single-cell battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1110CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1110CS8#PBF pinout, LT1110CS8#PBF application, or LT1110CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum 1.0V start-up voltage, user-adjustable switch current limit via ILIM pin, 70kHz oscillator frequency enabling compact surface-mount magnetics, and reverse-battery protection up to –1.6V on SW2/GND pins.
Technical Context
The LT1110CS8#PBF uses a gated-oscillator architecture where the 70kHz oscillator activates only when FB/SENSE voltage falls below the 220mV internal reference, minimizing quiescent current to 300µA. Its adaptive base drive ensures switch saturation without overdrive, improving efficiency across input ranges.
It features dual-mode operation: in step-up mode, SW1 drives the inductor while SW2 connects to GND; in step-down mode, SW1 ties to VIN and SW2 drives the inductor. The integrated auxiliary gain block (A2) functions as a comparator with 220mV reference, supporting low-battery detection or linear post-regulation via AO open-collector output.

Pinout & Package
LT1110CS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package, 3.9mm × 4.9mm footprint, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (PbF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ILIM (Pin 1) | Current limit programming input | Resistor from ILIM to VIN sets switch current threshold; 220Ω yields ~400mA limit, critical for inductor sizing and thermal management |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main power input | Accepts 1.0V–30V; supplies internal reference, oscillator, and driver circuits; must be decoupled near pin |
| SW1 (Pin 3) | Power switch collector | In step-up: connects to inductor/diode node; in step-down: ties directly to VIN; rated to 50V |
| SW2 (Pin 4) | Power switch emitter | In step-up: connects to GND; in step-down: drives inductor; must not go below –0.5V relative to GND |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog and power ground | Common return for reference, comparator, and gain block; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| AO (Pin 6) | Auxiliary gain block output | Open-collector comparator output sinking 300µA; used for low-battery flag or UVLO signaling to MCU |
| SET (Pin 7) | Auxiliary gain block inverting input | Connected to resistor divider from VIN; trip point set by ratio against internal 220mV reference |
| FB/SENSE (Pin 8) | Feedback/comparator input | On adjustable LT1110: connects to external resistor divider; on fixed -5/-12 versions: internal resistive divider sets output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX756CPA+ | Fixed 5V output only; 100µA IQ; no ILIM pin or auxiliary gain block; requires external compensation | Lacks programmable current limit and low-battery detection; suited for simpler, ultra-low-IQ fixed-rail needs | Select MAX756CPA+ only when 100µA IQ is mandatory and auxiliary functions are unnecessary |
| TPS61200DRCR | Adjustable output (1.2–5.5V); 50µA IQ; integrated 1.3A switch; no reverse-battery protection | Higher efficiency at light loads; lacks reverse-protection and dedicated low-battery comparator output | Choose TPS61200DRCR for higher efficiency and adjustable output, but add external reverse-protection if required |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1110CS8#PBF to start switching?
The LT1110CS8#PBF has a guaranteed minimum start-up voltage of 1.0V in step-up mode, enabling operation from nearly depleted alkaline or NiMH cells. This specification is validated across temperature and process corners, and the device maintains regulation down to this threshold with proper external component selection, including low-DCR inductor and low-ESR output capacitor.
Can LT1110CS8#PBF be used in step-down (buck) configuration, and what are the key layout considerations?
Yes, LT1110CS8#PBF supports step-down operation by connecting SW1 to VIN and SW2 to the inductor. Critical layout requirements include keeping the SW2–inductor–diode–GND loop area minimal to reduce EMI, using a Schottky diode (e.g., MBRS130T3) to prevent SW2 from falling below –0.5V, and routing the ILIM resistor close to Pin 1 to avoid noise-induced current-limit instability.
How does the ILIM pin on LT1110CS8#PBF adjust switch current limit, and what resistor value yields 800mA?
The ILIM pin sinks current proportional to switch current; adding a resistor between ILIM and VIN sets the trip point. For ~800mA limit, a 120Ω resistor is recommended based on the "Maximum Switch Current vs RLIM" curve in the LT1110CS8#PBF datasheet. This setting prevents inductor saturation under high-VIN conditions while maintaining efficiency across the input range.
Does LT1110CS8#PBF provide reverse battery protection, and how is it implemented?
Yes, LT1110CS8#PBF includes built-in reverse battery protection that limits reverse current to non-destructive levels when –1.6V is applied to GND and SW2 pins (with VIN, ILIM, and SW1 grounded). This is achieved through internal circuitry that clamps reverse conduction paths, eliminating the need for an external series diode and preserving forward-efficiency in battery-powered devices.
What is the function of the AO and SET pins on LT1110CS8#PBF, and how are they typically connected?
The AO pin is an open-collector output of the auxiliary gain block (A2), sinking up to 300µA; the SET pin is its inverting input, referenced internally to 220mV. Typically, a resistor divider from VIN to GND connects to SET to set the low-battery threshold, and a pull-up resistor (e.g., 47kΩ to 5V) connects to AO to generate a logic-low flag when VIN drops below the trip point - a configuration used in pagers and portable instruments for battery monitoring.
