Product details
Overview
LT1610CMS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, fixed-frequency step-up DC/DC converter optimized for single-cell battery operation. It operates from input voltages as low as 1.0 V, delivers up to 28 V output, switches at 1.7 MHz, and achieves 3 V at 30 mA from a 1 V supply - ideal for space-constrained portable electronics requiring high efficiency at light loads.
For engineers reviewing the LT1610CMS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1610CMS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1610CMS8#TRPBF application, or LT1610CMS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum input voltage (1.0 V), quiescent current (30 µA), burst-mode operation, internal compensation capability, and MSOP-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LT1610CMS8#TRPBF implements a current-mode PWM architecture with integrated NPN power switch (300 mV VCE(SAT) at 300 mA) and automatic Burst Mode™ operation below ~1 mA load. Its 1.7 MHz switching frequency enables use of sub-5 mm inductors and ceramic capacitors while maintaining >70% efficiency across 0.1–100 mA loads.
It features an internally compensated error amplifier (VC pin), programmable feedback reference (1.23 V ±3%), and shutdown control with <1 µA leakage. The device supports boost, SEPIC, and inverting topologies via external component configuration and includes built-in current limiting (450–900 mA) and thermal protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 8.0 V - enables direct operation from single alkaline, NiMH, or Li-ion cells without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.7 MHz (typ.) - allows use of 4.7 µH inductors and 22 µF tantalum or ceramic output capacitors in compact layouts. |
| Quiescent Current | 30 µA (typ.) - extends battery life in always-on, low-duty-cycle applications like remote sensors or backup systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.23 V (±2.5%) - sets output voltage via resistor divider (e.g., 3.3 V = 1.23 V × (1 + R1/R2)), enabling precise regulation without external references. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 28 V - supports LCD bias, white LED drivers, and auxiliary rails in portable instrumentation. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA - ensures near-zero power drain during system sleep, critical for energy-harvesting and coin-cell-powered devices. |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 300 mV at 300 mA - minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency in high-current boost stages. |
Pinout & Package
LT1610CMS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead MSOP (MS8) package, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin pitch is 0.5 mm; recommended reflow profile complies with JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output | Connects to internal compensation network (via COMP) or external RC for loop stability tuning; sensitive node requiring short trace routing. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Feedback input | Monitors regulated output via resistive divider; 1.23 V reference enables accurate output setting; minimize parasitic capacitance here. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (>1 V) enables operation; grounded disables converter and reduces supply current to <1 µA. |
| PGND (Pin 4) | Power ground return | Carries high-frequency switch current; must connect directly to local ground plane with low-inductance path to minimize EMI. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Drives external inductor/diode; high dv/dt node requiring minimized trace area and proximity to PGND for EMI control. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main input supply | Accepts 1.0–8.0 V; requires local 22 µF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress switching noise. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Signal ground reference | Reference for internal circuitry (excluding switch current); tie to same ground plane as PGND at single point to avoid ground loops. |
| COMP (Pin 8) | Internal compensation node | Tie to VC for internal RC compensation (50 kΩ/50 pF); leave floating if using external RC network on VC-to-ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ operation | Maintains >75% efficiency down to 1 mA load by cycling on/off, reducing average quiescent current to 30 µA without output voltage droop. |
| Internally compensated architecture | Eliminates two external compensation components when COMP pin is tied to VC, reducing BOM count and board area in cost-sensitive designs. |
| Low-voltage start-up | Starts regulation from 1.0 V input - supports aging batteries and ultra-low-power wake-up circuits where supply may dip below 1.2 V. |
| High-efficiency NPN switch | 300 mV VCE(SAT) at 300 mA enables >85% peak efficiency in 1-cell-to-3.3 V configurations, outperforming many P-channel MOSFET-based alternatives. |
| Multi-topology support | Configurable as boost, SEPIC, or inverting converter using standard passive components - simplifies design reuse across voltage-up, voltage-down, and negative-rail applications. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1307EMS8#TRPBF | 600 kHz switching, SO-8/MSOP-8; higher IQ (65 µA); no Burst Mode; lower max output voltage (20 V) | Better suited for medium-load continuous operation; less optimal for ultra-low-IQ battery lifetime-critical apps | Select when lower EMI is prioritized over minimum quiescent current or high-voltage output. |
| TPS61099YFFR | 1.8 MHz, 1.8 V–5.5 V input; 300 nA shutdown; integrated 1.2 A switch; no internal compensation | Superior for coin-cell (CR2032) applications; lacks SEPIC/inverting flexibility; requires external compensation | Prefer for new designs targeting lowest possible shutdown current and highest integration, accepting added compensation effort. |
Compared with LT1307EMS8#TRPBF and TPS61099YFFR, the LT1610CMS8#TRPBF uniquely balances ultra-low 30 µA quiescent current, 1.7 MHz high-frequency operation, internal compensation, and 28 V output capability - making it optimal for legacy or space-constrained single-cell systems where topology flexibility and long shelf life are essential.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1610CMS8#TRPBF to start regulation?
The LT1610CMS8#TRPBF starts regulation at 1.0 V (typical) across temperature, with guaranteed operation down to 1.25 V at –40°C. This enables reliable operation from nearly depleted single-cell alkaline, NiMH, or Li-ion sources. The device maintains regulation even as input drops further, though output current capability decreases proportionally - confirmed in Figure G01 and Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does LT1610CMS8#TRPBF support SEPIC topology, and what external components are required?
Yes, LT1610CMS8#TRPBF supports SEPIC topology, as demonstrated in Figures 4 and 14 of the datasheet. Required components include two coupled or uncoupled inductors (e.g., Murata LQH3C220), two 22 µF input/output capacitors, one 1 µF ceramic snubber capacitor, and a Schottky diode (e.g., MBR0520). The FB divider sets output voltage; no additional IC-level changes are needed.
Can LT1610CMS8#TRPBF be used with all-ceramic output capacitors, and what compensation adjustments are needed?
Yes, LT1610CMS8#TRPBF can operate with all-ceramic output capacitors, but internal compensation (COMP tied to VC) is unstable with low-ESR ceramics. As shown in Figures 11–12, external 220 kΩ/220 pF RC compensation on the VC pin is required to ensure adequate phase margin and prevent oscillation - especially at higher input voltages or temperatures.
What is the maximum continuous output current achievable with LT1610CMS8#TRPBF in a boost configuration?
In a standard boost configuration with 1.5 V input and 3.3 V output, LT1610CMS8#TRPBF delivers up to 30 mA continuously (Figure TA01). At higher inputs (e.g., 3.3 V → 5 V), output current reaches 200 mA (per Features list). Actual limit depends on thermal design, inductor saturation, and duty cycle - with switch current limit specified at 450–900 mA (typ./max) in Electrical Characteristics.
Is LT1610CMS8#TRPBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LT1610CMS8#TRPBF is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The "#TRPBF" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with Pb-free (lead-free) finish per JEDEC J-STD-020. Package markings (LTDT) and ordering info in Package/Order Information section confirm compliance; no exemptions apply.
