Product details
Overview
LT1317BCS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, fixed-frequency 600kHz step-up DC/DC converter optimized for battery-powered systems requiring high light-load efficiency trade-offs. It operates from 1.5V to 12V input, delivers up to 200mA output current, features a 1.24V feedback reference, and uses an internal 500mA NPN switch with 300mV VCE(SAT). It is used in glucose meters and portable medical instrumentation where continuous switching at light loads eliminates low-frequency output ripple.
For engineers reviewing the LT1317BCS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1317BCS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1317BCS8#TRPBF application, or LT1317BCS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its non-Burst Mode operation (vs. LT1317), 300mV switch saturation voltage, 1.24V feedback threshold, SO-8 package compatibility, and integrated low-battery detector with 200mV reference active in shutdown.
Technical Context
The LT1317BCS8#TRPBF implements a current-mode PWM architecture with fixed 600kHz oscillator frequency and no automatic Burst Mode transition-ensuring continuous switching across all load conditions. Its error amplifier (70–240 µmhos transconductance, 700 V/V gain) drives an external RC compensation network on the VC pin to stabilize the control loop against varying input voltage and output capacitance.
It integrates a low-battery detector with 200mV ±10mV reference and open-collector LBO output, remaining functional during shutdown. The SHDN pin accepts logic-level enable (1.4V–6V high, ≤0.4V low), and the internal NPN switch supports peak currents up to 1350mA (typ.) with duty cycle-dependent current limiting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 600 kHz fixed-enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI profile. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5 V to 12 V-supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), dual alkaline (2.0–3.2 V), and wide industrial rails. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.24 V ±20 mV-sets output voltage via resistor divider (VOUT = 1.24 × (1 + R1/R2)). |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 300 mV at 500 mA-minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency at medium loads. |
| Quiescent Current | 7.5 mA typical during switching-higher than LT1317 (100 µA) due to absence of Burst Mode. |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 200 mV ±10 mV-stable reference remains active in shutdown for battery monitoring without wake-up. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 85%-enables high step-up ratios (e.g., 1.5 V → 5 V) while maintaining stability. |
Pinout & Package
LT1317BCS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package (S8), 0.150" narrow body, with 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), Pin 6 is VIN (input supply), Pin 7 is LBI (low-battery input), and Pin 8 is LBO (low-battery output).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Compensation node for error amplifier | Connects external RC network (e.g., 33 kΩ + 3.3 nF) to set loop bandwidth and phase margin. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Feedback input to error amplifier | Monitors output via resistor divider; 1.24 V reference enables precise regulation independent of temperature drift. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Logic-level enable/disable control | Pull ≤0.4 V to enter shutdown (only LBI/LBO active); float or apply 1.4–6 V to enable. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground reference | Must connect directly to local ground plane; shared return for switch, feedback, and bias paths. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Collector of internal NPN power switch | Drives external inductor/diode; high di/dt requires minimized trace area to reduce EMI. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main input supply connection | Requires local ceramic bypass capacitor (<5 mm distance) to suppress switching noise and ensure regulation. |
| LBI (Pin 7) | Low-battery detector input | Accepts scaled battery voltage; comparator triggers when LBI < 200 mV (±10 mV), with bias current <40 nA. |
| LBO (Pin 8) | Open-collector low-battery output | Sinks ≥10 µA when triggered; requires external pull-up (e.g., 1 MΩ) to system rail for processor interrupt. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1317CS8#TRPBF | Includes Burst Mode operation; 100 µA quiescent current vs. 7.5 mA; same pinout and package. | Superior light-load efficiency but introduces low-frequency output ripple unsuitable for noise-sensitive analog loads. | Select LT1317CS8#TRPBF only when battery runtime at microamp loads outweighs ripple sensitivity. |
| LT1307BCS8#TRPBF | Single-cell optimized (1.5–10 V input); lower max output current (75 mA); identical 600 kHz frequency and SO-8 footprint. | Targeted for ultra-low-power devices like pagers; insufficient for 200 mA glucose meter loads. | Choose LT1307BCS8#TRPBF only for space-constrained, sub-100 mA applications where cost and size dominate. |
Compared with LT1317CS8#TRPBF, LT1317BCS8#TRPBF sacrifices light-load efficiency for ripple-free output; compared with LT1307BCS8#TRPBF, it trades single-cell optimization for higher output current capability and broader input range-making it optimal for 200 mA medical and industrial boost needs.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT1317BCS8#TRPBF and LT1317CS8#TRPBF?
The LT1317BCS8#TRPBF disables Burst Mode operation, ensuring continuous 600 kHz switching even at light loads-eliminating low-frequency output ripple but increasing quiescent current to 7.5 mA. In contrast, LT1317CS8#TRPBF activates Burst Mode below ~300 µA load, reducing IQ to 100 µA at the cost of ~1–10 kHz ripple. Both share identical pinout, SO-8 package, and 1.24 V feedback reference. LT1317BCS8#TRPBF is preferred for noise-critical analog applications like glucose meters.
Can LT1317BCS8#TRPBF operate from a single 1.5 V alkaline cell?
Yes, LT1317BCS8#TRPBF supports input voltages as low as 1.5 V, enabling startup and regulation from a fresh single alkaline cell (1.5–1.6 V). However, output current capability decreases as VIN drops; at 1.5 V input, maximum continuous output is ~50 mA for 3.3 V output. For higher loads, dual-cell (2.0–3.2 V) or Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) sources are recommended. The LT1317BCS8#TRPBF datasheet confirms operation down to 1.5 V across commercial and industrial temperature ranges.
What is the purpose of the VC pin on LT1317BCS8#TRPBF, and how should it be configured?
VC (Pin 1) is the error amplifier compensation node on LT1317BCS8#TRPBF. It must be connected to an external series RC network (e.g., 33 kΩ + 3.3 nF) tied to ground to set loop stability and transient response. An optional 100 pF capacitor from VC to ground improves noise immunity. Incorrect RC values cause oscillation or sluggish regulation-Figure 1 in the LT1317B datasheet shows validated values for 3.3 V and 5 V outputs. The LT1317BCS8#TRPBF requires this network for reliable operation across input voltage and load variations.
Does LT1317BCS8#TRPBF include a low-battery detector, and how is it used?
Yes, LT1317BCS8#TRPBF integrates a low-battery detector with a precise 200 mV ±10 mV internal reference. The LBI (Pin 7) accepts a scaled battery voltage (e.g., via resistor divider), and LBO (Pin 8) asserts low when LBI falls below threshold. Critically, this detector remains active during shutdown-allowing battery monitoring without powering the main converter. A 1 MΩ pull-up on LBO enables direct GPIO interrupt to a microcontroller. This feature is fully documented in the LT1317BCS8#TRPBF datasheet's Applications Information section.
Is LT1317BCS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with other Linear Technology boost converters?
Yes, LT1317BCS8#TRPBF is pin-for-pin compatible with LT1307B and LT1317 variants in the SO-8 (S8) package, including LT1317CS8#TRPBF and LT1317IS8. This allows direct substitution in existing designs without layout changes. However, electrical differences-such as Burst Mode presence (LT1317C), input voltage range (LT1307B limited to 10 V), or temperature grade-must be verified. The LT1317BCS8#TRPBF datasheet explicitly states "Pin for Pin Compatible with the LT1307/LT1307B" in its Features list.
