Product details
Overview
LT1317CMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, fixed-frequency 600kHz step-up DC/DC converter in an 8-lead MSOP package. It operates from 1.5V to 12V input, delivers up to 200mA output, features 100µA quiescent current and automatic Burst Mode™ operation at light loads, and integrates a low-battery detector with 200mV reference - used in battery-powered medical instrumentation and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LT1317CMS8#PBF datasheet, LT1317CMS8#PBF pinout, LT1317CMS8#PBF application, or LT1317CMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.24V feedback voltage, 300mV VCE(SAT) at 500mA, Burst Mode ripple behavior, shutdown pin logic thresholds (1.4V high / 0.4V low), and compatibility with ceramic or tantalum output capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LT1317CMS8#PBF employs current-mode PWM control with a 600kHz oscillator and internal ramp compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its error amplifier (70–240 µmhos transconductance, 700 V/V gain) drives the VC pin for external RC compensation, enabling stable regulation across input voltages from 1.5V to 12V and load currents from 300µA to 200mA.
Burst Mode operation-enabled only in the LT1317 variant (not LT1317B)-reduces average quiescent current to 30µA in shutdown while maintaining low-battery detection functionality. The integrated NPN switch exhibits 300mV saturation voltage at 500mA and supports peak currents up to 800mA under specified conditions, with switching limited to ≤85% duty cycle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 600 kHz ±10% - enables compact magnetics and filtering; stable over temperature and input voltage. |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.24 V ±20 mV - sets output via resistor divider; determines accuracy of regulated VOUT = 1.24V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA (active, no switching); 30 µA (shutdown) - critical for multi-year battery life in glucose meters and pagers. |
| VCE(SAT) | 300 mV at 500 mA - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in boost switch path. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5 V to 12 V - supports single alkaline, Li-ion, or multi-cell configurations without external regulators. |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 200 mV ±10 mV on LBI pin - enables precise undervoltage lockout with external resistor divider. |
| Shutdown Logic Threshold | 1.4 V (min high), 0.4 V (max low) - compatible with CMOS/LVTTL logic; allows direct microcontroller control. |
Pinout & Package
LT1317CMS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead MSOP (MS8) package, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.86 mm, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement (θJA = 160°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 open-collector output).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Compensation node for error amplifier | Connects to external RC network (e.g., 33kΩ + 3.3nF) to stabilize loop; sensitive to noise - minimize trace area. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Feedback input to error amplifier | References internal 1.24V bandgap; connects to resistor divider tap - trace must be short and isolated to avoid noise injection. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Enable/disable control input | Logic-level input: ≥1.4V enables, ≤0.4V disables; draws <0.1µA when pulled to VIN or GND. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground reference | Must connect directly to local ground plane; serves as return for switch, feedback, and bias currents. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Collector of internal NPN power switch | Drives external inductor/diode; high di/dt node - minimize trace length and loop area to reduce EMI. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main input supply connection | Requires local 10µF bypass capacitor placed <5mm away; ESR impacts startup and regulation stability. |
| LBI (Pin 7) | Low-battery detector input | Accepts divided battery voltage; 200mV internal reference remains active during shutdown; bias current <80nA. |
| LBO (Pin 8) | Open-collector low-battery output | Sinks up to 10µA; requires external pull-up (e.g., 1MΩ) to indicate battery depletion to host system. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Burst Mode™ operation | Maintains regulation at 300µA–200mA loads while holding quiescent current to 100µA (active) or 30µA (shutdown), extending battery life in intermittent-use devices. |
| Integrated low-battery detector | 200mV reference stays active in shutdown mode, enabling host systems to monitor battery health without waking the converter. |
| High-efficiency NPN switch | 300mV VCE(SAT) at 500mA reduces conduction loss and thermal stress, allowing full-load operation from 1.5V input in compact layouts. |
| External frequency compensation | VC pin supports tailored loop response via RC network - enables optimization for ceramic (low-ESR) or tantalum (higher-ESR) output capacitors. |
| PIN-compatible upgrade path | Direct replacement for LT1307/LT1307B in existing designs, supporting migration to higher current or lower IQ requirements without PCB changes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1317BCMS8#PBF | No Burst Mode - continuous 600kHz switching at all loads; higher light-load IQ (7.5mA vs. 100µA). | Eliminates low-frequency output ripple but sacrifices >10× light-load efficiency; preferred where ripple-sensitive analog circuits are present. | Select when output ripple <10mVPP is mandatory at 1–10mA loads, and battery life is secondary to signal integrity. |
| LT1307CMS8#PBF | Lower max output current (75mA vs. 200mA); same 600kHz, 1.24V FB, and MSOP-8 package; no LBI/LBO pins. | Lacks integrated low-battery monitoring; suitable only for simpler boost needs without battery health management. | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-current applications where LBO signaling and extended input range (1.5V min) are unnecessary. |
Compared with LT1317BCMS8#PBF, the LT1317CMS8#PBF trades continuous switching for micropower Burst Mode efficiency below 10mA, while versus LT1307CMS8#PBF it adds 2.7× output current headroom and battery monitoring - making it optimal for mid-power portable medical and telemetry devices.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1317CMS8#PBF to start regulation?
The LT1317CMS8#PBF starts regulation with an input voltage as low as 1.5V, verified across commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). It sustains operation down to this threshold even under full 200mA load, making it suitable for deeply discharged alkaline or NiMH cells. Startup behavior is confirmed in Figure 1 and Typical Performance Characteristics (TPC01–TPC04) of the official datasheet.
Does LT1317CMS8#PBF support ceramic output capacitors, and what compensation is needed?
Yes, LT1317CMS8#PBF supports ceramic output capacitors, but requires adjusted compensation: Figure 4 specifies RC = 20kΩ + 1500pF (vs. standard 33kΩ + 3.3nF) to maintain phase margin and prevent ringing. The VC pin's external network must be tuned per capacitor ESR; a 100pF capacitor from VC to GND is recommended for stability with low-ESR ceramics.
How does the low-battery detector function in shutdown mode for LT1317CMS8#PBF?
The low-battery detector in LT1317CMS8#PBF remains fully active during shutdown: the 200mV internal reference and LBI/LBO circuitry continue operating with only 30µA total current draw. When LBI voltage falls below 200mV, LBO pulls low (≤0.25V at 10µA sink) - enabling host systems to monitor battery state without enabling the converter.
What is the maximum achievable output current from LT1317CMS8#PBF, and what limits it?
LT1317CMS8#PBF delivers up to 200mA continuous output current under typical conditions (VIN ≥ 2.5V, TA = 25°C). Peak switch current is limited to 800mA (typical) by internal circuitry, but practical output is constrained by inductor saturation, diode forward drop, and thermal limits - especially in the MSOP package where θJA = 160°C/W demands careful layout and copper area.
Is LT1317CMS8#PBF pin-compatible with LT1307CMS8#PBF, and what design changes are needed?
Yes, LT1317CMS8#PBF is pin-compatible with LT1307CMS8#PBF in the MSOP-8 package, sharing identical pinout (VC, FB, SHDN, GND, SW, VIN, LBI, LBO). However, LT1317CMS8#PBF adds LBI/LBO functionality and supports higher output current - requiring only verification of feedback divider values and optional addition of LBI resistor network; no PCB revision is needed.
