Product details
Overview
LT1316CMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter with programmable peak switch current limiting, operating from as low as 1.5V input. It delivers up to 500mA peak switch current (set via RSET resistor), achieves 33µA quiescent current in active mode and 3µA in shutdown, and integrates an always-active low-battery detector (LBI/LBO). It is used in battery-powered LCD bias supplies and low-power –48V-to-5V converters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1316CMS8#PBF datasheet, LT1316CMS8#PBF pinout, LT1316CMS8#PBF application, or LT1316CMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5V minimum VIN, programmable 30–500mA peak current limit, 8-pin MSOP package, logic-level shutdown, and integrated low-battery detection active during shutdown.
Technical Context
The LT1316CMS8#PBF employs a fixed off-time (2µs typical), variable on-time regulation scheme to maintain ultra-low quiescent current. Its internal NPN power transistor features 300mV saturation voltage at 500mA, enabling high efficiency at light loads.
Peak switch current is precisely set by an external resistor (RSET) connected between Pin 3 and GND, establishing a constant reference current that controls comparator A2's trip point. The low-battery detector operates independently with 1.17V threshold, 35mV hysteresis, and open-collector LBO output capable of sinking 500µA - all functional even in shutdown mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5V to 12V - enables direct operation from single Li coin cell or two alkaline cells without pre-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current (Active) | 33µA typical - minimizes standby drain in battery-critical applications like remote sensors. |
| Quiescent Current (Shutdown) | 3µA typical - preserves battery life while retaining low-battery monitoring capability. |
| Peak Switch Current Range | 30mA to 500mA - programmable via RSET resistor (3kΩ–150kΩ), supporting wide load and source-impedance requirements. |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 300mV at 500mA - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency in high-current boost stages. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.23V ±2% - sets regulated output voltage via external resistor divider (VOUT = 1.23V × (1 + R1/R2)). |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 1.17V with 35mV hysteresis - provides reliable undervoltage warning for primary cells down to ~1.4V VIN. |
Pinout & Package
LT1316CMS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead MSOP (MS8) package, 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.85mm, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement (θJA = 160°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LBO (Pin 1) | Low-battery detector output | Open-collector output active low; sinks up to 500µA; remains functional in shutdown mode. |
| LBI (Pin 2) | Low-battery detector input | Monitors input supply; trips at 1.17V falling edge with 35mV hysteresis to prevent chatter. |
| RSET (Pin 3) | Peak current programming node | High-impedance input; connects to GND via resistor (3kΩ–150kΩ) to set precise peak switch current. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog and power ground | Primary return path for feedback, bias, and switch current; must connect directly to ground plane. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch collector node | Drives external inductor; requires short, low-inductance trace due to high di/dt switching (≤500mA pulses). |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main input supply | Accepts 1.5V–12V; requires local ceramic bypass (≥1µF) placed adjacent to pin. |
| SHDN (Pin 7) | Logic-level enable/disable | Active-high control: ≥1.4V enables, ≤0.4V disables; draws <5µA when asserted. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback input | Compares divided VOUT against 1.23V reference; bias current <30nA ensures minimal divider error. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1316CMS8#PBF to start switching?
The LT1316CMS8#PBF begins switching at a minimum input voltage of 1.5V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This allows direct operation from two alkaline cells (fresh or partially discharged) or a single lithium coin cell. Startup behavior is guaranteed down to 1.5V at 25°C; performance at lower temperatures may require verification per the datasheet's temperature derating curves.
How do I set the peak switch current for LT1316CMS8#PBF?
To set the peak switch current for LT1316CMS8#PBF, connect a resistor (RSET) between Pin 3 (RSET) and GND. Resistor values from 3kΩ to 150kΩ program peak currents from ~500mA down to ~25mA. For example, a 10kΩ resistor yields ~300mA peak current at 25°C. Refer to Figure 3 ("DC Current Limit vs RSET Resistor") in the datasheet for precise mapping, and account for ~18mA overshoot due to transistor turn-off delay in high-accuracy designs.
Does LT1316CMS8#PBF retain low-battery detection functionality during shutdown?
Yes, LT1316CMS8#PBF retains full low-battery detection functionality during shutdown. The LBI input and LBO open-collector output remain active, with LBI threshold at 1.17V (falling edge) and 35mV hysteresis. LBO can sink up to 500µA and operates down to VIN ≈ 1.4V - enabling continuous battery health monitoring even when the main converter is disabled.
What package type is used for LT1316CMS8#PBF, and what are its thermal characteristics?
LT1316CMS8#PBF uses the 8-lead MSOP (MS8) package, measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.85mm with an exposed thermal pad. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 160°C/W under standard JEDEC conditions. For optimal thermal performance, the exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB copper pour connected to GND, and airflow or additional copper area should be considered in high-duty-cycle applications.
Can LT1316CMS8#PBF be used in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)?
Yes, LT1316CMS8#PBF is explicitly designed to operate in both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes. DCM is required when the calculated duty cycle exceeds 73% (e.g., high VOUT/VIN ratios like 28V from 3.3V), or when peak current is set below ~50mA. The datasheet provides dedicated equations and design examples (e.g., Design Example 2) for sizing inductors and RSET in DCM to ensure stable regulation and predictable power delivery.
