Product details
Overview
LT1308IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an industrial-grade micropower fixed-frequency boost DC/DC converter optimized for single-cell battery systems. It delivers 5V at 1A from a 1V–3.6V Li-Ion input, features 600kHz current-mode PWM switching, integrated 2A NPN switch with 300mV VCE(SAT), and automatic Burst Mode™ operation below ~200mA load. Used in GSM RF power stages and DECT phone pulsed loads.
For engineers reviewing the LT1308IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1308IS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1308IS8#TRPBF application, or LT1308IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum 1.2V startup voltage (–40°C), 1.22V feedback reference accuracy, low-battery comparator with 200mV threshold, shutdown current ≤3µA, and SO-8 thermal performance (θJA = 80°C/W).
Technical Context
The LT1308IS8#TRPBF employs current-mode PWM control with a 600kHz oscillator and ramp generator, enabling fast transient response to pulsed loads like GSM transmit bursts (577µs) and DECT frames (416µs). Its error amplifier (100V/V gain at –40°C) drives a compensation network (VC pin) for stability across 1.2V–6V input and 3.3V/5V outputs.
It integrates a dedicated low-battery detector with 200mV internal reference, open-collector LBO output (≤0.25V @ 10µA sink), and LBI input bias current <30nA. Shutdown logic disables switching when SHDN is grounded, reducing quiescent current to ≤3µA while maintaining LBO high-impedance state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.2V to 6V - supports single NiCd (1.2V) or Li-Ion (3.0–4.2V) cells without external regulation |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | 1.22V ±2.5% feedback reference - enables precise 3.3V (R1/R2 = 169k/100k) or 5V (301k/100k) regulation |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz ±15% - allows use of compact 4.7µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors (e.g., 10µF + 100µF) |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 2.0A min at 40% duty cycle - sustains 1A continuous output with margin for GSM pulse peaks |
| Quiescent Current | 100µA typical (no load) - extends battery life in standby; drops to ≤3µA in shutdown mode |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 200mV ±20mV - configurable via resistor divider on LBI to detect cell depletion before system reset |
| Thermal Performance | θJA = 80°C/W (SO-8 package) - requires minimal copper area for 1A operation at 85°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
LT1308IS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package, 0.150" narrow body, RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is LBO (low-battery output), pin 8 is GND; package meets JEDEC MS-012AC standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LBO (Pin 1) | Open-collector low-battery flag output | Sinks ≤10µA when LBI < 200mV; requires external 1MΩ pullup to notify host processor of battery depletion |
| LBI (Pin 2) | Low-battery detector input | Compares external divider voltage against 200mV reference; bias current <30nA minimizes divider error |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main power input | Accepts 1.2–6V; must be bypassed with ≤10mm trace to 10µF ceramic capacitor to prevent oscillation |
| SW (Pin 4) | Internal NPN switch collector | Drives external inductor/diode; 300mV VCE(SAT) at 2A ensures >85% efficiency at 1A load |
| VC (Pin 5) | Error amplifier compensation node | Connects RC network (e.g., 47kΩ + 22nF) to ground; controls loop stability for varying output capacitance |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback input | 1.22V reference point; resistive divider sets output voltage; trace area must be minimized to reduce noise coupling |
| SHDN (Pin 7) | Enable/disable control | Ground to shut down (≤3µA IQ); tie to VIN or higher to operate; floating causes erratic behavior |
| GND (Pin 8) | Power and signal ground | Must connect directly to solid ground plane enclosing all power components; critical for EMI suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ operation | Automatically engages below ~200mA load to maintain >75% efficiency at 1mA, extending battery runtime in idle states |
| Guaranteed start-up at 1.2V | Operates from cold-start at –40°C with single NiCd or depleted Li-Ion, eliminating need for auxiliary wake-up circuitry |
| Integrated low-battery detector | Dedicated 200mV reference and comparator enable accurate end-of-discharge signaling without external ICs |
| Current-mode PWM architecture | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and stable operation with wide output capacitor ESR ranges |
| 600kHz fixed-frequency switching | Enables use of small, low-profile inductors (e.g., Coilcraft DO3316-472) and avoids AM radio band interference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3525EDC-5#TRMPBF | 5V fixed-output, 2MHz switching, 600mA max, 15µA IQ, 6-pin DFN | Lower current, higher frequency, no low-battery detector or Burst Mode™ | Preferred for space-constrained 5V-only designs where 600mA suffices and LBI/LBO signals are unnecessary |
| MAX1706ESA+ | Adjustable output, 1.2MHz, 1.2A switch, 22µA IQ, 8-pin SO | No integrated low-battery comparator; requires external voltage monitor for battery warning | Suitable when design flexibility (adjustable VOUT) outweighs need for built-in battery monitoring |
Compared with LT1308IS8#TRPBF, LTC3525EDC-5#TRMPBF offers smaller footprint and higher efficiency above 10mA but lacks battery monitoring; MAX1706ESA+ provides higher peak current and adjustable output yet requires external circuitry for low-battery indication-making LT1308IS8#TRPBF optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-aware portable RF applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1308IS8#TRPBF to start up and regulate at –40°C?
The LT1308IS8#TRPBF guarantees start-up at 1.2V input voltage over the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for Industrial Grade devices. This ensures reliable operation from a partially discharged NiCd cell or low-voltage Li-Ion source in cold environments. Below 1.2V, regulation cannot be assured per datasheet limits.
Does LT1308IS8#TRPBF support adjustable output voltage, and how is it set?
Yes, LT1308IS8#TRPBF supports adjustable output voltage via a resistive divider connected to the FB (Pin 6) pin. The internal 1.22V reference determines VOUT = 1.22V × (1 + R1/R2), where R2 connects from FB to GND and R1 from VOUT to FB. For example, 3.3V uses R1 = 169kΩ and R2 = 100kΩ; 5V uses R1 = 301kΩ and R2 = 100kΩ. Layout must minimize trace area at FB to avoid noise injection.
How does the low-battery detector in LT1308IS8#TRPBF function, and what external components are needed?
The LT1308IS8#TRPBF low-battery detector compares voltage on LBI (Pin 2) against an internal 200mV reference. When LBI falls below 180–220mV, LBO (Pin 1) pulls low (≤0.25V @ 10µA). An external resistor divider from VIN to GND sets the trip point; e.g., 200kΩ from VIN to LBI and 10kΩ from LBI to GND triggers at ~2.2V for a Li-Ion cell. A 1MΩ pullup on LBO is recommended to interface with microcontroller GPIO.
What layout practices are critical for stable operation of LT1308IS8#TRPBF at 1A load?
Stable 1A operation of LT1308IS8#TRPBF requires: (1) placing the 10µF ceramic input capacitor within 5mm of VIN and GND pins; (2) routing SW and GND traces as short, wide loops to minimize inductance; (3) connecting GND pin directly to a solid ground plane covering all power components; and (4) minimizing trace area at FB and VC pins to prevent noise coupling. Long input traces (>10mm) cause regulation failure or oscillation per Layout Hints section.
Is LT1308IS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LT130x family, such as LT1307 or LT1302?
No, LT1308IS8#TRPBF is not pin-compatible with LT1307 or LT1302. LT1308IS8#TRPBF uses an 8-pin SO package with LBO/LBI pins for battery monitoring, while LT1307 (MSOP-8) and LT1302 (SO-8) have different pinouts: LT1307 places SHDN on Pin 1 and lacks LBI/LBO, and LT1302 assigns SW to Pin 1 and has no low-battery functionality. Substitution requires PCB redesign and firmware updates for battery monitoring logic.
