Product details
Overview
LT1308AIS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, fixed-frequency 600kHz boost DC/DC converter optimized for single-cell Li-ion and multi-cell NiCd/NiMH battery systems. It delivers up to 1A at 5V from 1V–10V input, features 140μA no-load quiescent current, 1.22V feedback reference with ±2% accuracy over temperature, and integrated low-battery detector with 200mV threshold. It enables compact, high-efficiency power conversion in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LT1308AIS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1308AIS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1308AIS8#TRPBF application, or LT1308AIS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include burst-mode efficiency at light loads, 36V switch rating for high-VOUT designs, SO-8 package thermal performance, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors via external VC compensation.
Technical Context
The LT1308AIS8#TRPBF implements current-mode PWM control with automatic transition to Burst Mode™ operation below ~400mA load, reducing average input current while maintaining regulation. Its internal 600kHz oscillator drives a 300mV VCE(SAT) NPN switch rated to 36V, enabling output voltages up to 34V. The error amplifier features 100V/V gain and 60μmhos transconductance, compensated externally via the VC pin using a series RC network.
It integrates a precision low-battery detector with ±2% 200mV reference and open-collector LBO output capable of sinking 50μA. Shutdown functionality requires only ≥1V on SHDN (independent of VIN), drawing <1μA in shutdown. The device starts into heavy loads without bootstrapping, supporting robust 3.5A peak inductor current during startup from 1.5V input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz fixed - enables compact magnetics and reduces EMI filtering requirements. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1V to 10V - supports single Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), two/three NiCd (1.2V/cell), or alkaline stacks. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.22V ±2% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures stable output regulation across industrial temperature range. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 140μA - minimizes battery drain in standby, critical for long-life portable devices. |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 290mV at 2A, 25°C - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency at high load currents. |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 200mV ±2% - provides accurate battery monitoring with minimal external components. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1μA - enables true zero-power off-state for system-level power gating. |
Pinout & Package
LT1308AIS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (SO-8) package with θJA = 190°C/W, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 4 serves as the primary ground connection, with PCB copper acting as a heat sink.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LBO | Low-battery detector open-collector output | Sinks 50μA when LBI < 200mV; requires external pull-up for logic-level signaling to host processor. |
| LBI | Low-battery detector input | Compares battery voltage divider against internal 200mV reference; bias current flows out (33nA typical). |
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 1V–10V; requires local 47μF bypass capacitor placed ≤5mm from pin to minimize switching noise. |
| SW | Internal NPN switch collector | Connects to inductor/diode node; high dI/dt path requiring minimized trace area and direct routing. |
| VC | Error amplifier compensation output | External RC network (e.g., 47kΩ + 100pF) sets loop stability; sinking current forces micropower mode. |
| FB | Feedback input | 1.22V reference point; connects to resistor divider (R1/R2) to set VOUT = 1.22V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| SHDN | Enable/disable control | Active-high; ≥1V enables converter (no VIN tie required); floating or grounded disables with <1μA current. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Primary return path; must connect directly to local ground plane with multiple vias for thermal and EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ operation | Automatically engages below ~400mA load, reducing average IQ to 140μA while maintaining output regulation and minimizing low-frequency ripple. |
| 36V switch rating | Enables boost outputs up to 34V, supporting LCD bias, white LED drivers, and higher-voltage peripherals from low-input sources. |
| Integrated low-battery detector | ±2% 200mV reference with 50μA sink capability eliminates need for external comparator and reference ICs. |
| Start-up into heavy loads | Delivers 3.5A peak inductor current from 1.5V input, avoiding bootstrapping limitations and ensuring reliable cold-start behavior. |
| External VC compensation | Allows full loop stability optimization with ceramic or tantalum output capacitors, accommodating diverse ESR requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3525EDD-5#TRMPBF | 5V fixed-output, 1.2MHz switching, 200μA IQ, 2A switch, 20V max VSW | Fixed 5V output only; no adjustable FB or LBO; smaller 10-lead DFN package | Select when fixed 5V output suffices and board space is constrained; not suitable for >5V or battery-monitoring applications. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1308AIS8#TRPBF to start and regulate?
The LT1308AIS8#TRPBF has a specified minimum input voltage of 0.92V and can start up and regulate from as low as 1V input. It successfully delivers regulated 5V output even when starting from a 1.5V source into a 20Ω load, demonstrating robust under-voltage operation essential for deeply discharged battery systems.
Does LT1308AIS8#TRPBF support ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the LT1308AIS8#TRPBF supports ceramic output capacitors via its external VC compensation pin. Unlike regulators relying on ESR for stability, the LT1308AIS8#TRPBF allows full loop tuning with RC networks (e.g., 47kΩ + 100pF), enabling stable operation with near-zero-ESR ceramics while retaining compatibility with tantalum solutions.
How does the low-battery detector on LT1308AIS8#TRPBF differ from the original LT1308?
The LT1308AIS8#TRPBF features a significantly improved low-battery detector with ±2% accuracy on its 200mV reference (vs. looser tolerance on LT1308) and enhanced drive strength-LBO can sink 50μA versus lower capability in the predecessor. This enables direct interfacing with microcontroller GPIOs without additional buffering.
Can LT1308AIS8#TRPBF be used in SEPIC topology?
Yes, the LT1308AIS8#TRPBF is explicitly validated for SEPIC operation, as shown in Figure 8 of its datasheet. It regulates output over an input range spanning the output voltage (e.g., 3V–10V input to 5V output), making it suitable for applications where input may fall below or rise above the desired output, such as multi-cell battery systems with variable state-of-charge.
What thermal considerations apply to LT1308AIS8#TRPBF in SO-8 package?
The LT1308AIS8#TRPBF in SO-8 has θJA = 190°C/W. Effective thermal design requires connecting Pin 4 (GND) to a large local ground plane acting as a heat sink, using multiple vias to inner-layer ground, and minimizing trace length for high-current paths (VIN, SW, GND). Layout per Figure 6 is mandatory to achieve rated performance and avoid thermal shutdown.
