Product details
Overview
LT1307BCS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, fixed-frequency 600kHz PWM boost DC/DC converter optimized for single-cell alkaline/NiMH operation down to 1V input. It delivers up to 75mA at 3.3V or 50mA at 5V with 1.0mA quiescent current, continuous switching at light loads (no Burst Mode), and integrated low-battery detection (200mV threshold). It targets space-constrained portable medical and communication devices requiring clean, ripple-free output under variable load.
For engineers reviewing the LT1307BCS8#PBF datasheet, LT1307BCS8#PBF pinout, LT1307BCS8#PBF application, or LT1307BCS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1V minimum input, absence of low-frequency output ripple, 295mV switch VCE(SAT) at 500mA, 1.22V feedback reference, and MSOP-8 package compatibility with ceramic-only external components.
Technical Context
The LT1307BCS8#PBF implements a current-mode PWM architecture with a 600kHz oscillator and no hysteresis in its error amplifier comparator-ensuring continuous switching across all load conditions. Its internal NPN power switch features 295mV VCE(SAT) at 500mA and supports duty cycles up to 84%, enabling high-efficiency step-up conversion from sub-1.2V inputs.
Unlike the LT1307 variant, the LT1307B disables Burst Mode operation entirely, eliminating low-frequency output ripple at the expense of light-load efficiency. It integrates a 200mV precision low-battery detector with open-collector LBO output and uses an external RC network on the VC pin for loop compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1V to 5V - enables direct operation from single alkaline, NiMH, or Li-ion cells without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz (typ) - allows use of small 10µH inductors and 1–10µF ceramic capacitors, minimizing board area. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0mA (typ) - defines baseline power draw during active regulation; significantly higher than LT1307's 50µA but ensures ripple-free output. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.22V (±20mV) - sets regulated output voltage via external resistor divider (e.g., 3.3V = 1.22V × (1 + R1/R2)). |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 295mV at 500mA - limits conduction loss in the internal NPN transistor, supporting >85% efficiency at medium loads. |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 200mV (±10mV) - triggers LBO output when battery voltage drops below usable level, enabling system-level shutdown. |
| Shutdown Current | 3µA (max) - ensures near-zero power draw when SHDN pin is grounded, preserving battery life in standby. |
Pinout & Package
LT1307BCS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead MSOP (MS8) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin spacing is 0.65mm, body size 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.85mm, and it is RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Compensation node | Connects external RC network (e.g., 100kΩ + 680pF) to stabilize feedback loop; critical for transient response and stability. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Feedback input | Senses output voltage divider; 1.22V reference enables precise output regulation (e.g., 3.3V, 5V) with <±1% accuracy. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic: tie to VIN or higher to operate; ground to disable IC and reduce supply current to ≤3µA. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground | Must connect directly to local ground plane; serves as return path for switch current and feedback reference. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Drives external inductor/diode; high dv/dt requires short, low-inductance trace routing to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main power input | Accepts 1V–5V; requires 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 5mm for stable operation and noise suppression. |
| LBI (Pin 7) | Low-battery sense input | High-impedance input referenced to 200mV; connects to resistive divider from battery to detect end-of-life condition. |
| LBO (Pin 8) | Low-battery open-collector output | Sinks 10µA when LBI < 200mV; requires external pull-up (e.g., 1MΩ) to interface with microcontroller interrupt or reset logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Continuous 600kHz switching | Eliminates low-frequency output ripple (<10kHz) common in Burst Mode converters-critical for noise-sensitive analog/RF circuits. |
| Single-cell 1V start-up capability | Enables full functionality from depleted alkaline or NiMH cells, extending usable battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| Integrated low-battery detector | Provides system-level battery monitoring without external comparators-reduces BOM count and PCB area in glucose meters and diagnostic tools. |
| Ceramic-capacitor only design | Supports 1µF input and 10µF output ceramic caps (no electrolytics), improving reliability, temperature stability, and long-term aging performance. |
| Internal 500mA NPN switch | Reduces external component count and layout complexity while maintaining <300mV conduction loss at rated current. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1307CS8#PBF | Includes Burst Mode for 50µA quiescent current; 600kHz switching; same pinout and package. | Preferred where light-load efficiency > ripple cleanliness (e.g., infrequently sampled sensors). | Select LT1307CS8#PBF only if system can tolerate low-frequency output ripple and prioritizes battery runtime over signal integrity. |
| TPS61200DRCR | 2.5V–5.5V input range; no sub-1.2V start-up; 1.2MHz switching; 55µA IQ; different pinout (10-pin SON). | Requires PCB redesign; unsuitable for true single-cell <1.2V operation but offers higher frequency and lower IQ above 2.5V. | Choose TPS61200DRCR only for multi-cell or Li-ion systems where 1V start-up is not required and layout space permits new footprint. |
Compared with LT1307CS8#PBF, the LT1307BCS8#PBF trades 20× higher quiescent current for zero low-frequency ripple-making it essential for analog/RF signal chains. Against TPS61200DRCR, it provides unique 1V start-up capability but lacks modern features like I2C control or programmable soft-start.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1307BCS8#PBF to start switching?
The LT1307BCS8#PBF guarantees start-up and regulation from 1.0V input across the commercial temperature range. At –40°C, the minimum functional input rises to 1.1V per datasheet specifications. This 1V capability enables reliable operation from nearly depleted alkaline or NiMH cells, distinguishing LT1307BCS8#PBF from most competing boost converters that require ≥1.8V.
Does LT1307BCS8#PBF support adjustable output voltage, and how is it set?
Yes, LT1307BCS8#PBF supports adjustable output voltage via the FB pin. The internal 1.22V reference connects to a resistor divider between VOUT and GND; output is calculated as VOUT = 1.22V × (1 + R1/R2). For example, 3.3V requires R1 = 1.02MΩ and R2 = 604kΩ (1%). The LT1307BCS8#PBF datasheet provides standard resistor values for 3.3V and 5V configurations.
How does the low-battery detector in LT1307BCS8#PBF function, and what external components are needed?
The LT1307BCS8#PBF integrates a 200mV precision threshold detector. Connect LBI to a resistive divider from VIN to GND (e.g., 1MΩ top, 100kΩ bottom yields ~91mV at 1.0V input). When LBI falls below 200mV, LBO pulls low (≤0.25V @ 10µA sink). An external 1MΩ pull-up to VOUT or logic rail is required to generate a clean digital alert signal for the host MCU.
Can LT1307BCS8#PBF be used with ceramic output capacitors only, and what is the minimum value?
Yes, LT1307BCS8#PBF is explicitly designed for ceramic-only external components. The datasheet specifies a minimum 10µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor at the output (COUT), paired with a 1µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) placed within 5mm of VIN. This eliminates electrolytics, improving reliability and temperature stability-confirmed in Figure 1 and Layout Hints section of the LT1307B datasheet.
What is the purpose of the VC pin on LT1307BCS8#PBF, and how is it configured?
VC is the error amplifier output and compensation node. It requires an external series RC network (e.g., 100kΩ + 680pF) connected from VC to GND to stabilize the feedback loop. Proper VC compensation determines transient response, phase margin, and ripple rejection-Figure 11e in the datasheet shows the optimized 100kΩ/680pF solution for minimal settling time without overshoot in the LT1307BCS8#PBF application circuit.
