Product details
Overview
LT1303CS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter with integrated low-battery detector and fixed 5V output. It operates from 1.8V to 5V input, delivers up to 200mA at 5V, achieves 88% peak efficiency, and draws only 120µA quiescent current - ideal for 2-cell alkaline or Li-ion–powered portable instrumentation and barcode scanners.
For engineers reviewing the LT1303CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1303CS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1303CS8#TRPBF application, or LT1303CS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5V fixed output regulation, 170mV NPN switch saturation voltage at 700mA, Burst Mode™ operation for ultra-low standby power, and SO-8 package compatibility with space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The LT1303CS8#TRPBF implements a current-mode PWM controller with an on-chip NPN power switch and internal 1.24V reference. Its Burst Mode™ operation disables switching when load demand falls below threshold, reducing quiescent current to 120µA and enabling multi-week battery life in intermittent-use devices.
It integrates a dedicated low-battery comparator with LBI input (trip point 1.24V ±30mV) and open-collector LBO output, plus shutdown control (SHDN) that reduces total supply current to 7µA. The fixed 5V version uses internal resistor divider feedback, eliminating external resistors required by the adjustable LT1303 variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±2% (guaranteed over temperature and line/load) |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.0V (supports 2-cell alkaline, NiMH, or single Li-ion) |
| Max Output Current | 200mA at VIN ≥ 2V (limited by internal 1A peak switch current and thermal design) |
| Quiescent Current | 120µA typical (enables >1-year shelf life in low-duty-cycle instruments) |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 170mV typ at 700mA (minimizes conduction loss in high-efficiency boost topology) |
| Oscillator Frequency | 155kHz typical (enables use of small, low-cost 22µH surface-mount inductors) |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 1.24V on LBI pin (corresponds to ~2.2V battery voltage with 100k/412k divider per Figure 1) |
Pinout & Package
LT1303CS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (SO-8) package, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Signal ground reference | Must be tied to PGND under package; forms reference for FB, LBI, and SHDN logic |
| LBO (Pin 2) | Open-collector low-battery output | Sinks 100µA when VIN drops below threshold; disabled during shutdown |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Active-low shutdown control | Pull to GND for normal operation; pull ≥1.8V to reduce IQ to 7µA |
| SENSE (Pin 4) | 5V output feedback node | Internally connected to 4.8–5.2V precision divider; no external resistors needed |
| LBI (Pin 5) | Low-battery comparator input | Monitors scaled battery voltage; trips at 1.24V ±30mV hysteresis |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main power input | Accepts 1.8–5V; requires local 47–100µF electrolytic bypass to PGND within 0.2" |
| SW (Pin 7) | Internal NPN switch collector | Drives external inductor/diode; layout must minimize loop area to suppress EMI |
| PGND (Pin 8) | Power ground return | Separate from signal GND but tied under package; carries high di/dt switch current |
Key Features

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#PBF | Higher 600mA output, 200µA IQ, same SO-8 package and pinout | Required where load exceeds 200mA (e.g., motor-driven peripherals) | Choose LT1302CS8#PBF if higher output current is needed; shares identical footprint and control interface |
| TPS61200DRCR | 1.8–5.5V input, 5V/500mA output, 50µA IQ, 1.2MHz switching | Supports wider input range and lower quiescent current but requires external feedback resistors | Choose TPS61200DRCR for ultra-low-power designs needing <100µA IQ and higher frequency operation |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1303CS8#TRPBF?
The LT1303CS8#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 10V, but its specified operating input range is 1.8V to 5.0V. Exceeding 5V may cause regulation instability or premature shutdown due to internal protection thresholds. For inputs above 5V, consider the LT1305 or discrete solutions with external pass elements.
Does the LT1303CS8#TRPBF require external feedback resistors to set the 5V output?
No - the LT1303CS8#TRPBF is the fixed 5V version (denoted by "-5" suffix in the LT1303-5 family). Its SENSE pin connects internally to a precision resistor divider calibrated for 4.8V to 5.2V output tolerance. External resistors are unnecessary and would disrupt regulation.
How does the low-battery detector in the LT1303CS8#TRPBF operate?
The LT1303CS8#TRPBF's low-battery detector compares voltage on the LBI pin to an internal 1.24V reference. When LBI falls below this threshold (e.g., via resistor divider from VIN), the open-collector LBO pin pulls low. LBO is disabled during shutdown mode and sinks up to 100µA.
Can the LT1303CS8#TRPBF drive a 5V load requiring more than 200mA?
The LT1303CS8#TRPBF is rated for up to 200mA continuous output at VIN ≥ 2V. Attempting higher loads causes thermal foldback or output droop due to internal 1A peak switch current limit and SO-8 package thermal resistance (θJA = 150°C/W). For >200mA, select LT1302CS8#PBF or LT1305.
What is the purpose of the PGND pin on the LT1303CS8#TRPBF, and how should it be connected?
The PGND pin on the LT1303CS8#TRPBF serves as the high-current return path for the internal NPN switch and external inductor. It must be tied directly to signal GND (Pin 1) under the package footprint and connected to the VIN bypass capacitor's ground terminal within 0.2 inches to minimize switching noise and ensure stable regulation.
