Product details
Overview
LT1111CS8-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, fixed-output 5V step-up/step-down DC/DC converter IC with integrated 1A NPN power switch, 72kHz gated oscillator, and on-chip low-battery detector comparator. It operates from 2V to 30V input, delivers up to 100mA at 5V from 3V input (step-up), or 200mA at 5V from 12V input (step-down), and targets battery-powered portable instrumentation and flash memory VPP generation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1111CS8-5#PBF datasheet, LT1111CS8-5#PBF pinout, LT1111CS8-5#PBF application, or LT1111CS8-5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 5V output tolerance (±5%), programmable current limit via ILIM pin, 300µA quiescent current in shutdown, and compatibility with surface-mount inductors in SO-8 package for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LT1111CS8-5#PBF implements a gated-oscillator architecture where the 72kHz oscillator activates only when feedback voltage falls below the 1.25V internal reference, enabling ultra-low quiescent current. Its dual-mode operation-step-up (boost) or step-down (buck)-is determined by external component topology, not internal configuration.
Pin 8 (FB/SENSE) connects directly to output in fixed-5V versions, eliminating external resistive dividers; the on-chip voltage-setting resistor network ensures 4.75V–5.25V output regulation over temperature and line. The auxiliary gain block (A0/SET pins) supports configurable functions including low-battery detection with 1.20V–1.30V trip point and hysteresis of 8–12.5mV.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±5% (4.75V–5.25V); eliminates need for external feedback resistors in standard boost/buck designs. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 72kHz typical; optimized for use with off-the-shelf surface-mount inductors and minimizes EMI vs higher-frequency alternatives. |
| Quiescent Current | 300µA max (switch OFF); enables multi-year battery life in always-on low-power sensor nodes and remote controls. |
| Switch Current Limit | Programmable up to 1.5A via ILIM-to-VIN resistor; prevents inductor saturation and switch overstress across wide input voltage ranges. |
| Operating Input Range | 2V–12V (step-up), 2V–30V (step-down); supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), 9V alkaline, and 12V industrial rails without redesign. |
| Package | SO-8 (S8); 8-pin plastic small-outline package with 1.27mm pitch, compatible with automated SMT assembly and IPC-7351B land patterns. |
| Temperature Range | 0°C to 70°C (Commercial grade C-temp); validated for consumer electronics, peripherals, and non-automotive embedded systems. |
Pinout & Package
LT1111CS8-5#PBF uses an 8-lead plastic SO (S8) package with standard SOIC footprint and gull-wing leads. Thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W enables operation at full load without forced air in ambient temperatures ≤50°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ILIM (Pin 1) | Current limit programming input | Resistor from ILIM to VIN sets peak switch current; 220Ω yields ~400mA limit; open or tied to VIN disables limit. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main power supply input | Accepts 2V–30V; powers internal circuitry and switch driver; must be bypassed with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| SW1 (Pin 3) | Power switch collector | In step-up: connects to inductor/diode node; in step-down: connects to VIN rail; rated to 50V max. |
| SW2 (Pin 4) | Power switch emitter | In step-up: connects to GND; in step-down: connects to inductor/diode node; must not fall below –0.5V. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for feedback, gain block, and switch; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| A0 (Pin 6) | Auxiliary gain block output | Open-collector output sinking up to 300µA; used for low-battery detect, post-regulation, or error amplification. |
| SET (Pin 7) | Auxiliary gain block inverting input | Connects to resistor divider from VIN for programmable comparator trip point; bias current 70–300nA. |
| FB/SENSE (Pin 8) | Feedback input / fixed-output sense | Internally connected to 5V divider in LT1111CS8-5#PBF; must connect directly to regulated 5V output for closed-loop control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 300µA quiescent current extends battery life in intermittent-use devices like remote controls and handheld test tools. |
| Dual-mode topology support | Single IC replaces separate boost and buck converters in designs requiring both 3V→5V and 12V→5V conversion paths. |
| On-chip low-battery detector | Comparator with 1.25V reference and 12.5mV hysteresis enables reliable brown-out warning without external comparators. |
| Programmable current limiting | External resistor on ILIM pin provides precise, temperature-stable switch current control to prevent inductor saturation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX630CPA+ | Fixed 5V output, 100kHz oscillator, 200µA IQ, but no ILIM pin or auxiliary gain block; DIP-8 only. | Lacks programmable current limit and low-battery detection; limited to simple boost-only topologies. | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-complexity boost-only designs where ILIM and A0 functionality are unnecessary. |
| TPS61040DRVR | 500kHz switching, 0.4A switch, 20µA IQ, but requires external feedback resistors even for fixed 5V; WSON-6 package. | Higher frequency enables smaller magnetics but increases EMI sensitivity; no integrated comparator or gain block. | Prefer for ultra-low-power applications needing <50µA IQ and minimal solution size, accepting added design complexity. |
Compared with MAX630CPA+ and TPS61040DRVR, the LT1111CS8-5#PBF uniquely combines fixed 5V output, programmable current limiting, and an auxiliary gain block in SO-8 - enabling robust, feature-rich DC/DC conversion without external compensation or additional ICs.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LT1111CS8-5#PBF?
The LT1111CS8-5#PBF provides a fixed 5V output with guaranteed regulation of 4.75V to 5.25V (±5%) over the full 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range and input voltages from 2V to 12V in step-up mode. This tolerance is achieved using factory-trimmed internal resistive dividers, eliminating external component variation.
Can the LT1111CS8-5#PBF operate in step-down (buck) mode?
Yes, the LT1111CS8-5#PBF supports step-down operation with input voltages up to 30V and delivers up to 200mA at 5V from a 12V input. In buck mode, SW1 connects to VIN and SW2 drives the inductor; the device maintains regulation via the same internal 1.25V reference and FB/SENSE pin monitoring.
How do I configure the low-battery detector using the LT1111CS8-5#PBF?
Connect a resistor divider from VIN to GND with the midpoint to the SET pin, and pull A0 to VOUT via a 22kΩ resistor. The comparator trips when VIN × (R2/(R1+R2)) falls below 1.25V; hysteresis of 8–12.5mV prevents chatter. For example, R1=1MΩ, R2=100kΩ sets trip at ~1.14V.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on the LT1111CS8-5#PBF?
The ILIM pin allows programming of the peak switch current limit by connecting a resistor between ILIM and VIN. A 220Ω resistor limits current to ~400mA; higher resistance lowers the limit. This prevents inductor saturation and switch overstress when input voltage varies widely - critical in battery-powered applications.
Is the LT1111CS8-5#PBF pin-compatible with other LT1111 variants?
Yes, all LT1111 variants (including LT1111CS8, LT1111CS8-12, LT1111IS8) share identical SO-8 pinouts and electrical characteristics except for output voltage setting. The LT1111CS8-5#PBF's FB/SENSE pin is internally connected to the 5V divider, so it must connect directly to the 5V output - unlike adjustable versions requiring external resistors.
