Product details
Overview
LT1301IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter with Burst Mode™ operation, delivering regulated 5V or 12V output from 1.8V–6V input. It integrates a low-VCE(SAT) bipolar switch (170mV at 1A), programmable peak current limit via ILIM pin, and 155kHz internal oscillator. Used in flash memory VPP generation and portable instrumentation requiring high efficiency at light loads.
For engineers reviewing the LT1301IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1301IS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1301IS8#TRPBF application, or LT1301IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage down to 1.8V, 120µA no-load quiescent current, shutdown current of 10µA, selectable 5V/12V output, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with surface-mount inductor designs.
Technical Context
The LT1301IS8#TRPBF employs a fixed-frequency (155kHz nominal) burst-mode control architecture with internal 1.25V reference and dual comparators for output regulation and current limiting. Its bipolar power switch enables efficient operation at ultra-low input voltages, while the ILIM pin directly programs peak switch current between 400mA (ILIM grounded) and 1A (ILIM floating).
Operation relies on sensing feedback at the SENSE pin through an external resistive divider; output voltage is selected by logic level on the SELECT pin (5V when grounded, 12V when tied to VIN). Shutdown disables switching and reduces total supply current to 10µA, with bias current into SHDN pin under 20µA at 5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 6V - enables full operation from two alkaline cells or single Li-ion cell with headroom. |
| Output Voltage Options | Programmable 5V or 12V - selected via logic level on SELECT pin; no external resistor divider needed. |
| Quiescent Current | 120µA typical - minimizes battery drain in standby, critical for palmtop and PDA applications. |
| Shutdown Current | 10µA - allows deep sleep mode without removing input power. |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 170mV at 1A - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency over prior CMOS-based converters. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 155kHz typical - permits use of compact, low-DCR surface-mount inductors (e.g., 33µH). |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | Programmable 0.4A to 1.0A via ILIM pin - supports soft-start and optimized inductor sizing. |
| Efficiency | Up to 89% at 120mA - achieved with Schottky diode and low-ESR capacitors; higher than CMOS alternatives at medium load. |
Pinout & Package
LT1301IS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC package (S8), RoHS-compliant and rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Signal Ground Reference | Must be tied to PGND under package; forms reference for internal comparators and bias circuits. |
| SEL (Pin 2) | Output Voltage Select | Logic-low (≤0.8V) sets 5V output; logic-high (≥1.5V) or tie-to-VIN sets 12V output. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Shutdown Control | Pull ≥1.8V to disable switching; draws ≤20µA bias current; valid even with VIN floating. |
| SENSE (Pin 4) | Feedback Input | Connects to output divider node; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for 5V mode stability. |
| ILIM (Pin 5) | Current Limit Programming | Float = 1A trip; ground = 400mA trip; resistor to ground enables intermediate values (e.g., 10kΩ ≈ 800mA). |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main Power Input | Accepts 1.8V–6V; must be bypassed with ≥47µF low-ESR capacitor within 0.2" of pin and PGND. |
| SW (Pin 7) | Switch Node | Drives external inductor/diode; layout must minimize trace length to reduce EMI and switching losses. |
| PGND (Pin 8) | Power Ground Return | High-current return path for switch and input capacitor; tie directly to GND under package. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ Operation | Maintains 120µA quiescent current across wide load range, enabling >100-hour battery life in low-duty-cycle instruments. |
| Integrated Bipolar Switch | 170mV VCE(SAT) at 1A reduces conduction loss by 4× vs. prior CMOS switches, improving mid-load efficiency. |
| Programmable Peak Current | ILIM pin allows precise setting of switch current limit (400mA–1A), enabling smaller inductors and controlled inrush during soft-start. |
| 155kHz Fixed Oscillator | Enables use of compact, low-cost 33µH surface-mount inductors (e.g., Coilcraft DO3316-333) without compromising regulation. |
| Logic-Controlled Output Selection | Single-pin SELECT interface eliminates external resistors or jumpers, simplifying BOM and supporting dynamic voltage reconfiguration. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1302CS8#TRPBF | Higher output current capability (up to 500mA), wider input range (1.5V–10V), same SOIC-8 package. | Required where sustained >120mA load or lower input voltage (<1.8V) is needed. | Choose LT1302CS8#TRPBF if load exceeds 120mA or input may dip below 1.8V; not drop-in due to different ILIM behavior and higher quiescent current (250µA). |
| TPS61040DRVR | CMOS-based, 28V max output, 1.8V–6V input, 28µA quiescent current, but only 280mA max output. | Better suited for ultra-low-IQ applications with lighter loads (<100mA); lacks bipolar switch efficiency at medium loads. | Choose TPS61040DRVR for longest battery life at <50mA loads; avoid for 120mA+ or 12V flash VPP where LT1301IS8#TRPBF's 89% efficiency and 1A switch are critical. |
Compared with LT1302CS8#TRPBF and TPS61040DRVR, the LT1301IS8#TRPBF delivers superior efficiency at 120mA with its bipolar switch and Burst Mode, occupies identical PCB footprint, and offers simpler ILIM programming-making it optimal for flash VPP and portable instrumentation where 120mA/12V is the design target.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the LT1301IS8#TRPBF?
The LT1301IS8#TRPBF operates down to 1.8V input, enabling full functionality from two alkaline cells (2.4V fresh, ~1.8V depleted) or single Li-ion cells with margin. This specification is guaranteed over the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is critical for maximizing battery utilization in portable instruments.
How does the ILIM pin function on the LT1301IS8#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LT1301IS8#TRPBF programs peak switch current: floating sets 1A, grounding sets ~400mA, and a resistor to ground scales linearly (e.g., 10kΩ yields ~800mA). This feature enables soft-start, inductor downsizing, and reduced I²R losses-directly confirmed in the datasheet's Figure 3 and Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the LT1301IS8#TRPBF generate both 5V and 12V outputs?
Yes, the LT1301IS8#TRPBF supports dual output voltages: 5V when the SELECT pin is grounded or floating, and 12V when SELECT is tied to VIN. The output sense accuracy is ±4% (11.52V–12.48V for 12V mode; 4.75V–5.25V for 5V mode), verified in the Electrical Characteristics table at TA = 25°C.
What package type and temperature grade does the LT1301IS8#TRPBF use?
The LT1301IS8#TRPBF uses an 8-lead plastic SOIC package (S8) and is rated for the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C (denoted by the "I" suffix). Package dimensions and lead finish comply with JEDEC MS-012, and the device is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
What is the typical quiescent current of the LT1301IS8#TRPBF in normal operation?
The LT1301IS8#TRPBF draws 120µA typical quiescent current under no-load conditions (VSHDN = 0.5V, VSEL = 5V, VSENSE = 5.5V), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value applies across the full industrial temperature range and is central to its micropower classification.
