Product details
Overview
LT1307CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, fixed-frequency 600kHz PWM boost DC/DC converter optimized for single-cell alkaline or NiMH battery operation down to 1V input. It integrates an NPN power switch with 295mV VCE(SAT) at 500mA, delivers up to 75mA at 3.3V output, and features automatic Burst Mode™ operation for high light-load efficiency in portable medical devices and GPS receivers.
For engineers reviewing the LT1307CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1307CS8#PBF pinout, LT1307CS8#PBF application, or LT1307CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50µA quiescent current, 1.22V feedback reference, low-battery detector with 200mV threshold, and compatibility with small ceramic capacitors-enabling compact, low-EMI designs without electrolytics.
Technical Context
The LT1307CS8#PBF employs current-mode PWM control with a 600kHz oscillator and ramp compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its error amplifier uses external RC compensation on the VC pin to stabilize loop response across varying load and input conditions.
Burst Mode™ operation-enabled only in the LT1307 (not LT1307B)-reduces switching frequency at light loads (<100mA), lowering average input current to 50µA while maintaining regulation. The low-battery detector (LBI/LBO) provides a 200mV reference with open-collector output and no hysteresis, supporting system-level battery monitoring.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LT1307CS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO package (S8), 3.9mm × 4.9mm, with standard SOIC thermal profile (θJA = 120°C/W). Pin 1 is VC (compensation), pin 2 is FB (feedback), pin 3 is SHDN (shutdown), pin 4 is GND, pin 5 is SW (switch node), pin 6 is VIN (input supply), pin 7 is LBI (low-battery input), and pin 8 is LBO (low-battery open-collector output).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Compensation node for error amplifier | Connects external RC network (e.g., 100kΩ + 680pF) to ground; sets loop stability and transient response-critical for avoiding oscillation under dynamic load. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Feedback input for output voltage regulation | References internal 1.22V bandgap; resistor divider from VOUT to GND sets output voltage as VOUT = 1.22V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Enable/disable control input | Must be tied ≥VIN to operate; grounded to shut down IC-draws ≤3µA in shutdown, preventing unintended wake-up from floating inputs. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal reference ground | Direct connection to local ground plane required; separates power return (SW/GND path) from sensitive analog nodes (FB/VC/LBI) to minimize noise coupling. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node for external inductor/diode | Carries high di/dt pulsed current; requires short, wide trace to reduce EMI and voltage spikes-critical for reliable 600kHz operation. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main input supply connection | Requires 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed ≤5mm away; supplies peak switch current and stabilizes input impedance during switching transitions. |
| LBI (Pin 7) | Low-battery detector input | Accepts 0–700mV input; compares against 200mV internal reference-used with resistor divider to monitor battery voltage without loading cell. |
| LBO (Pin 8) | Low-battery open-collector output | Sinks ≤10µA when LBI < 200mV; requires external pull-up (e.g., 1MΩ) to system rail-drives microcontroller interrupt or LED indicator. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1307BCS8#PBF | No Burst Mode™; continuous 600kHz operation at all loads; 1mA quiescent current vs. 50µA | Preferred where low-frequency output ripple must be avoided (e.g., RF-sensitive receivers), accepting reduced light-load efficiency | Select LT1307BCS8#PBF when clean 3.3V output is prioritized over battery life in always-active systems. |
| TPS61200DRCR | Higher 1.2MHz switching frequency; 2.5V–5.5V input range; integrated Schottky diode; 5.5µA quiescent current in shutdown | Requires ≥2V input; not suitable for true single-cell (1V) start-up; better for Li-ion or dual-cell systems | Choose TPS61200DRCR for higher-frequency, lower-profile designs where input voltage exceeds 2V and integrated diode simplifies layout. |
Compared with LT1307BCS8#PBF, the LT1307CS8#PBF trades higher light-load efficiency for low-frequency ripple; versus TPS61200DRCR, it supports true 1V start-up but lacks integrated diode and higher-frequency operation-making it uniquely suited for cost-sensitive, single-cell alkaline/NiMH applications demanding micropower performance.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1307CS8#PBF to start switching?
The LT1307CS8#PBF guarantees start-up at 0.92V (typical) and operates continuously down to 1V input. At 25°C, it sustains regulation with VIN as low as 0.92V, making it suitable for deep-discharge alkaline or NiMH cells. Below this threshold, the device may not initiate switching or maintain output regulation-verified per Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the LT1307/LT1307B datasheet. The LT1307CS8#PBF's ability to start at sub-1V enables full utilization of single-cell battery capacity.
Does LT1307CS8#PBF support adjustable output voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, LT1307CS8#PBF supports adjustable output voltage via an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. The internal feedback reference is 1.22V, so VOUT = 1.22V × (1 + R1/R2), where R1 connects from VOUT to FB and R2 connects from FB to GND. For example, a 1.02MΩ R1 and 604kΩ R2 yields 3.3V output. The LT1307CS8#PBF's ±1.6% reference accuracy and low FB bias current (27nA typ) ensure stable, precise regulation across temperature and load.
How does the low-battery detector in LT1307CS8#PBF function, and what external components are needed?
The LT1307CS8#PBF's low-battery detector uses an internal 200mV reference applied to the LBI pin. An external resistor divider scales battery voltage to ≤200mV at LBI when the cell reaches end-of-life (e.g., 0.9V for alkaline). LBO is an open-collector output that pulls low when LBI < 200mV and requires a pull-up resistor (typically 1MΩ) to a logic rail. No additional ICs or references are needed-the LT1307CS8#PBF integrates both reference and comparator.
Can LT1307CS8#PBF be used with ceramic output capacitors only, and what is the minimum value?
Yes, LT1307CS8#PBF is explicitly designed for ceramic-only output capacitance. The datasheet specifies a minimum of 10µF ceramic (e.g., X5R/X7R 0805 or 1206) for single-cell applications. This eliminates electrolytic capacitors, reduces size, and improves reliability. Larger values (e.g., 22µF) further suppress Burst Mode™ ripple. Input bypass requires only 1µF ceramic placed within 5mm of VIN-confirmed in Figure 1 and Layout Hints section of the LT1307/LT1307B datasheet.
What is the purpose of the VC pin on LT1307CS8#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 control loop. This network sets phase margin and transient response-critical for preventing oscillation under load steps. The LT1307CS8#PBF's VC pin design allows optimization for specific inductor/capacitor combinations; typical values are validated in Figure 11e of the datasheet for 10µH/10µF configurations.
