Product details
Overview
LT1300CN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter with Burst Mode™ operation, delivering up to 220mA at 5V from a 2V input. It features programmable 3.3V/5V output selection via logic-controlled SEL pin, 170mV typical switch saturation voltage at 1A, and 120µA no-load quiescent current. Used in battery-powered portable instruments and PCMCIA cards where low-voltage start-up and high efficiency are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LT1300CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1300CN8#PBF pinout, LT1300CN8#PBF application, or LT1300CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (1.8–6V), ILIM-programmable peak switch current (400mA–1.25A), 155kHz fixed-frequency oscillator, and compatibility with inexpensive 10µH surface-mount inductors in space-constrained DIP-8 layouts.
Technical Context
The LT1300CN8#PBF integrates a bipolar power switch with 170mV VCE(SAT) at 1A and uses a 155kHz internal oscillator to minimize external passive size. Its Burst Mode™ operation enables ultra-low 120µA quiescent current under light loads by disabling switching until output voltage drops below regulation threshold.
Output voltage is selected between 3.3V (SEL = GND) and 5V (SEL = VIN or VOUT) via an internal resistor divider referenced to a 1.25V bandgap. The ILIM pin sets peak switch current using an external resistor or direct grounding, enabling trade-offs between full-load capability and component cost/size in alkaline-battery applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 6V - enables full operation down to nearly-dead two-cell alkaline batteries. |
| Output Voltage Options | Programmable 3.3V (±3.5%) or 5V (±4%) - selectable via logic-level SEL pin without external resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 220mA at 5V from 2V input - sufficient for LCD bias, microcontroller peripherals, and low-power sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 120µA typical at no load - extends battery life in standby mode of portable instruments. |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 170mV typical at 700mA - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency over prior-generation boost converters. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 155kHz typical - allows use of compact 10µH inductors (e.g., Coilcraft DO1608-103) without audible noise. |
| Shutdown Current | 10µA - cuts system leakage during deep sleep or battery removal. |
Pinout & Package
LT1300CN8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DIP (N8) package, through-hole mountable with 0.300-inch width and standard 0.100-inch pin pitch. Pin 1 is GND; pins 7 and 8 are SW and PGND respectively - requiring direct low-inductance connection to inductor and input capacitor.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Signal Ground Reference | Return path for feedback and control circuitry; must be tied to PGND under IC body. |
| SEL (Pin 2) | Output Voltage Select Input | Logic-high (≥1.5V) selects 5V output; grounded selects 3.3V - no external components needed. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Active-High Shutdown Control | Pull ≥1.8V to disable switching and reduce supply current to 10µA; tie to GND for normal operation. |
| SENSE (Pin 4) | Output Voltage Feedback Node | Connects directly to regulated output; internal 1.25V reference compares against divided output voltage. |
| ILIM (Pin 5) | Peak Switch Current Programming | Float for 1A limit; ground for ~400mA; resistor-to-ground sets intermediate values (e.g., 10kΩ → ~700mA). |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main Input Supply | Accepts 1.8–6V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic + bulk electrolytic bypassing within 0.2 inch of pin. |
| SW (Pin 7) | Internal Switch Collector | Drives external inductor/diode; layout must minimize trace length to reduce EMI and switching losses. |
| PGND (Pin 8) | Power Ground Return | High-current return for switch node; must be joined to GND (Pin 1) under package footprint. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ Operation | Reduces no-load current to 120µA while maintaining tight output regulation across load transients. |
| ILIM-Programmable Peak Current | Enables use of smaller, lower-cost inductors (e.g., 10µH instead of 22µH) without sacrificing stability in light-load applications. |
| Low-Voltage Start-Up | Guaranteed operation from 1.8V input - extracts maximum energy from aging alkaline cells in handheld devices. |
| Integrated Bipolar Switch | 170mV VCE(SAT) at 1A eliminates need for external MOSFET driver and reduces BOM count versus discrete solutions. |
| Fixed 155kHz Oscillator | Eliminates external timing components and ensures predictable EMI profile for FCC/CE compliance in portable designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1302CS8#PBF | Higher 600mA output current; same 1.8V min input; SO-8 only (no DIP option); 200µA IQ | Required when >220mA load current or PCB space constraints favor SOIC over DIP | Select LT1302CS8#PBF only if higher output current justifies increased quiescent current and package change. |
| MAX680ESA+ | Charge-pump topology (no inductor); fixed 5V output; 100mA max; 125µA IQ; 8-pin SO | Suitable only for ultra-low-noise, low-current applications where inductor EMI or size is unacceptable | Choose MAX680ESA+ only for sub-100mA loads where inductor-free design outweighs lower efficiency and fixed output. |
Compared with LT1300CN8#PBF, LT1302CS8#PBF delivers more current but sacrifices micropower advantage, while MAX680ESA+ avoids magnetics at the cost of output flexibility and current capability - making LT1300CN8#PBF optimal for 200mA-class battery-powered systems needing programmable voltage and DIP-8 fit.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1300CN8#PBF to start switching?
The LT1300CN8#PBF guarantees operation down to 1.8V input, enabling full functionality even as two-cell alkaline batteries discharge to 0.9V per cell. Startup occurs reliably at this voltage with appropriate output capacitance and inductor selection, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables of the official datasheet.
Can LT1300CN8#PBF generate both 3.3V and 5V outputs on the same board?
Yes, LT1300CN8#PBF supports both 3.3V and 5V outputs via its SEL pin: grounding SEL selects 3.3V (±3.5%), while connecting SEL to VIN or VOUT selects 5V (±4%). No external resistors or configuration jumpers are needed - the output voltage is determined solely by the logic level applied to Pin 2.
How does the ILIM pin affect inductor selection for LT1300CN8#PBF?
The ILIM pin on LT1300CN8#PBF directly programs peak switch current from ~400mA (ILIM grounded) to 1.25A (ILIM floating). Lower peak current allows use of smaller, lower-cost inductors like Coilcraft DO1608-103 (10µH, 0.11Ω DCR) instead of larger 22µH types, reducing board area and conduction loss in light-load applications.
What is the purpose of separate GND and PGND pins on LT1300CN8#PBF?
LT1300CN8#PBF separates signal ground (GND, Pin 1) from power ground (PGND, Pin 8) to isolate sensitive analog feedback paths from high-current switch return paths. They must be tied together under the IC body to prevent ground bounce and ensure stable regulation - a requirement explicitly stated in the Layout Considerations section of the datasheet.
Is LT1300CN8#PBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LT1300CN8#PBF carries the #PBF suffix indicating lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS-compliant packaging. This designation confirms compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and Analog Devices' environmental specifications, verified through material declarations and finish testing per J-STD-609.
