Product details
Overview
LT1308IS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an industrial-grade micropower boost DC/DC converter optimized for single-cell battery systems. It delivers 5V at 1A from a Li-Ion cell (VIN ≥ 1.2V), features fixed 600kHz switching, current-mode PWM control, and integrated low-battery detection with 200mV reference. Used in GSM RF power stages and DECT phone pulsed loads.
For engineers reviewing the LT1308IS8#PBF datasheet, LT1308IS8#PBF pinout, LT1308IS8#PBF application, or LT1308IS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed start-up into full load, Burst Mode operation below 200mA, 300mV VCE(SAT) at 2A, and −40°C to +85°C operating range with 8-lead SO package.
Technical Context
The LT1308IS8#PBF employs current-mode PWM architecture with a 600kHz oscillator and ramp generator, enabling fast transient response to line and load changes. Its error amplifier features 100V/V gain at −40°C and 80V/V at +85°C, with transconductance of 40µmhos and 1.22V feedback reference.
It integrates an NPN power switch rated for 2.5A peak current (DC = 40%), 300mV saturation voltage at 2A/−40°C, and shutdown current ≤3µA. The low-battery detector uses a 200mV internal reference with 180–220mV trip threshold and open-collector LBO output sinking 10µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.2V to 6V - supports single NiCd (1.2V) or Li-Ion (2.7–4.2V) cells without external regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 500–750kHz - enables use of compact 3.3–4.7µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors. |
| Output Current Capability | 1A continuous at 5V - sustained delivery from 1.2V input via high-duty-cycle operation (up to 95%). |
| Quiescent Current | 100µA (no load) - extends battery life in standby; drops to ≤3µA in shutdown mode. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.22V ±2.5% - sets output via external resistor divider; enables precise 3.3V, 5V, or custom VOUT. |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 200mV ±20mV - detects end-of-discharge in single-cell systems; LBO asserts open-collector low. |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 300mV at 2A (−40°C) - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current boost paths. |
Pinout & Package
LT1308IS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (narrow, 0.150") package with θJA = 80°C/W and maximum junction temperature of 125°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LBO | Low-battery detector output | Open-collector NPN output; sinks 10µA when active; requires external pull-up for processor interrupt signaling. |
| LBI | Low-battery detector input | Connects to resistive divider from VIN; compares against 200mV internal reference; bias current <30nA. |
| VIN | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2–6V; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 5mm of pin to prevent oscillation. |
| SW | Power switch collector | Drives external inductor/diode; handles 2.5A peak; trace area must be minimized to reduce EMI. |
| VC | Error amplifier compensation | Connect series RC (e.g., 47kΩ + 22nF) to GND; stabilizes loop response for varying load conditions. |
| FB | Feedback input | Senses divided output voltage; 1.22V reference sets VOUT = 1.22V × (1 + R1/R2); sensitive to noise-minimize trace area. |
| SHDN | Shutdown control | Ground to disable; tie to VIN or higher to enable; floating causes erratic behavior; sink/source current <4µA. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane enclosing all power components and bypass caps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode operation | Automatically engages below ~200mA load to maintain >80% efficiency while reducing IQ to ~100µA. |
| Guaranteed start-up into full load | Starts regulating 5V/1A output even at VIN = 1.2V - eliminates need for pre-charge or soft-start circuits. |
| Integrated low-battery comparator | 200mV reference with 180–220mV trip window and open-collector LBO - enables system-level battery management without external IC. |
| Current-mode PWM control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and stable operation across wide input/output ratios and ESR variations. |
| High-efficiency NPN switch | 300mV VCE(SAT) at 2A/−40°C reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in portable 1A boost applications. |

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 | Same 600kHz frequency and 1.22V reference, but MSOP-8 package and lower 75mA output current rating. | Targeted at ultra-low-power devices (e.g., sensors), not 1A GSM/DECT loads. | Select LT1307CS8#PBF only for sub-100mA applications where board space is critical. |
| LT3467ES6#TRMPBF | Higher 1.3MHz switching, integrated Schottky diode, 400mA output, and wider 2.5–16V input range. | Designed for higher-input systems (e.g., dual-cell or USB-powered); lacks low-battery comparator. | Choose LT3467ES6#TRMPBF when input exceeds 6V or integrated diode simplifies layout-but omit if 200mV LBI detection is required. |
Compared with LT1308IS8#PBF, LT1307CS8#PBF trades output current and thermal robustness for smaller footprint, while LT3467ES6#TRMPBF sacrifices low-voltage start-up and battery monitoring for higher frequency and integration-neither offers drop-in replacement capability due to differing pinout, current rating, or feature set.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1308IS8#PBF to start switching?
The LT1308IS8#PBF guarantees start-up into full load at VIN = 1.2V across the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). At room temperature, it can begin regulation as low as 1.0V, but 1.2V is the production-tested minimum for reliable operation under worst-case conditions including aging and voltage droop.
Does LT1308IS8#PBF support automatic light-load efficiency optimization?
Yes, the LT1308IS8#PBF implements automatic Burst Mode™ operation below approximately 200mA load current. In this mode, the device pulses the power switch at reduced frequency to maintain regulation while lowering quiescent current to ~100µA-critical for extending battery life in intermittent-use devices like pagers and GPS receivers.
Can LT1308IS8#PBF drive a 1A load continuously from a 1.2V input?
Yes, the LT1308IS8#PBF is specified to deliver 1A continuous output current at 5V from a 1.2V input in industrial grade (−40°C to +85°C), enabled by its 95% maximum duty cycle and low 300mV VCE(SAT) switch. Thermal design must accommodate up to 1.2W dissipation depending on layout and ambient conditions.
How does the low-battery detector in LT1308IS8#PBF function?
The LT1308IS8#PBF includes a dedicated low-battery detector with a precise 200mV internal reference. When voltage at the LBI pin falls below 180–220mV (set by a resistor divider from VIN), the open-collector LBO pin pulls low. This signal can directly interface with a microcontroller's interrupt pin to trigger battery warning or graceful shutdown.
What package type and RoHS status does LT1308IS8#PBF have?
The LT1308IS8#PBF uses an 8-lead plastic SOIC (narrow, 0.150") package per LTC DWG #05-08-1610 and is RoHS-compliant with lead-free finish (#PBF suffix). It features standard JEDEC MO-153 dimensions and is rated for reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
