Product details
Overview
LT1317CS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, fixed-frequency 600kHz step-up DC/DC converter with internal NPN switch, 1.24V feedback reference, and integrated low-battery detector. It operates from 1.5V to 12V input, delivers up to 200mA output current, maintains 100µA quiescent current in no-load operation, and supports Burst Mode™ for high light-load efficiency. It is used in battery-powered medical devices like glucose meters and portable diagnostic instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1317CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1317CS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1317CS8#TRPBF application, or LT1317CS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.24V FB reference accuracy, 300mV VCE(SAT) at 500mA, automatic Burst Mode switching (LT1317 variant), active low-battery detection during shutdown, and SO-8 package compatibility with LT1307/LT1307B designs.
Technical Context
The LT1317CS8#TRPBF implements a current-mode PWM architecture with a 600kHz oscillator and ramp compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. 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 across input and load variations.
Burst Mode operation-enabled only in the LT1317 (not LT1317B)-reduces average supply current to 100µA at light loads by gating full switching cycles, while maintaining regulation via periodic 250mA peak switch pulses. The low-battery detector uses a 200mV ±5% internal reference and remains functional during shutdown, with open-collector LBO output sinking 10µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 600 kHz fixed (520–720 kHz typical range); enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI filtering. |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.24 V (±20 mV); sets output voltage via resistor divider: VOUT = 1.24V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA (no-switching, SHDN = 2V); ensures >1-year battery life in always-on low-power monitoring circuits. |
| Switch 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-cell alkaline (1.5V), Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), and dual-cell NiMH (2.4V) sources without external regulators. |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 200 mV ±10 mV on LBI pin; allows precise undervoltage lockout (e.g., 1.6V cutoff for 2-cell alkaline) with active-in-shutdown functionality. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 85%; supports high step-up ratios (e.g., 1.5V → 5V) while retaining stable current-mode control. |
Pinout & Package
LT1317CS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package (S8), 0.150" wide, with standard SOIC pin spacing (1.27 mm pitch) and 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), 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 to external RC network (e.g., 33kΩ + 3.3nF) to set loop bandwidth and phase margin; optional 100pF to ground improves noise immunity. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Inverting input of error amplifier | Monitors output via resistor divider; 1.24V reference ensures accurate output regulation; low bias current (12–60 nA) minimizes divider error. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Enable/disable control input | Logic-level input: ≥1.4V enables, ≤0.4V disables; draws <0.1 µA when pulled to VIN, enabling direct microcontroller GPIO drive. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal reference | Must connect directly to local ground plane; shared return for switch, feedback, and shutdown paths to avoid noise coupling. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Collector of internal NPN power switch | Drives external inductor/diode; high dv/dt requires short, low-inductance trace routing to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main power input | Requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed <5 mm away to suppress switching transients and ensure stable startup. |
| LBI (Pin 7) | Low-battery detector input | Accepts divided battery voltage; 200mV threshold with ±10mV tolerance; bias current flows out (5–40 nA), affecting divider design. |
| LBO (Pin 8) | Open-collector low-battery output | Sinks 10µA when LBI < 200mV; requires external pull-up (e.g., 1MΩ) to system rail; remains active during shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Burst Mode operation | Maintains regulation at 300µA–200mA load while reducing average IQ to 100µA-critical for multi-year battery life in glucose meters. |
| Integrated low-battery detector with 200mV reference | Enables precise, shutdown-aware battery monitoring without external comparators-reducing BOM count in portable diagnostics. |
| 100µA no-load quiescent current | Allows continuous operation from coin cells (e.g., CR2032) in standby mode without premature depletion. |
| 300mV VCE(SAT) at 500mA | Minimizes power loss and thermal stress in the internal switch, supporting reliable 200mA output even at elevated ambient temperatures. |
| Pin-for-pin compatibility with LT1307/LT1307B | Enables drop-in upgrade from single-cell to wider-input-range boost converters without PCB redesign. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1317CS8#TRPBF to start switching?
The LT1317CS8#TRPBF starts switching at an input voltage as low as 1.5V. This capability enables reliable operation from partially discharged alkaline or NiMH cells, making LT1317CS8#TRPBF ideal for portable medical devices that must function across the full battery discharge curve without external pre-regulation.
Does LT1317CS8#TRPBF support Burst Mode operation, and how does it affect efficiency?
Yes, LT1317CS8#TRPBF supports Burst Mode operation at light loads (≤300µA), reducing quiescent current to 100µA and maintaining >70% efficiency down to 300µA. This feature significantly extends battery life in intermittently active applications such as glucose meters and portable diagnostics, where standby current dominates total energy consumption.
What is the purpose of the LBI and LBO pins on LT1317CS8#TRPBF, and how are they used?
The LBI (Pin 7) and LBO (Pin 8) pins implement a low-battery detector with a 200mV internal reference. LBI accepts a scaled battery voltage; when it falls below 200mV, LBO pulls low. Crucially, this circuit remains active during shutdown, allowing LT1317CS8#TRPBF to provide battery status even when the main converter is disabled-enabling fail-safe shutdown in medical devices.
Can LT1317CS8#TRPBF be used with ceramic output capacitors, and what compensation changes are needed?
Yes, LT1317CS8#TRPBF supports ceramic output capacitors, but requires adjusted compensation: reduce RC network values (e.g., 20kΩ + 1500pF instead of 33kΩ + 3.3nF) and add a 100pF capacitor from VC to ground to maintain stability. This adjustment compensates for the ceramic cap's near-zero ESR, preventing control-loop oscillation while preserving fast transient response.
Is LT1317CS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LT13xx family?
Yes, LT1317CS8#TRPBF is pin-for-pin compatible with LT1307/LT1307B in the SO-8 package, enabling direct replacement in existing designs. However, functional differences exist: LT1317CS8#TRPBF adds low-battery detection and supports wider input voltage (1.5–12V vs. 1.5–6V), so validation of LBI/LBO integration and output stage stability is recommended.
