Product details
Overview
LT1949ES8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-frequency current-mode step-up DC/DC converter IC with an integrated 1A, 0.5Ω NPN switch, 600kHz switching frequency, 1.24V feedback reference, and active low-battery detector. It generates 10V at 175mA from a 3.3V input and is designed for LCD bias supplies in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LT1949ES8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1949ES8#TRPBF pinout, LT1949ES8#TRPBF application, or LT1949ES8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5V minimum input voltage, 30V switch rating, 410mV VCE(SAT) at 800mA, shutdown quiescent current of 25µA, and external compensation flexibility for ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LT1949ES8#TRPBF employs current-mode control with a built-in ramp generator to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its error amplifier features 70–240 µmhos transconductance and 700 V/V voltage gain, driven by an external RC network on the VC pin for loop stabilization.
It integrates a precision 200mV low-battery reference with ±5% tolerance, LBI input bias current ≤60nA, and open-collector LBO output capable of sinking 10µA. The SHDN pin operates with logic-level thresholds (0.4V low, 1.4V high) and draws ≤0.1µA when enabled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Rating | 30V max SW voltage - supports up to 28V output with single-inductor boost topology |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.24V ±20mV - sets output via resistor divider: VOUT = 1.24V × (1 + R1/R2) |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 410mV at 800mA - enables high efficiency at medium load; reduces conduction loss |
| Quiescent Current | 4.5mA typical operating / 25µA shutdown - preserves battery life in portable systems |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 200mV ±10mV on LBI pin - allows precise battery monitoring down to ~1.5V cell voltage |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz fixed - enables compact magnetics and low-output-ripple filtering |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5V to 12V - supports single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, and USB-powered operation |
Pinout & Package
LT1949ES8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package, 0.150" wide, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and θJA = 120°C/W thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Compensation node | Connects external RC network (e.g., 68kΩ + 330pF) to ground for loop stability with ceramic output caps |
| FB (Pin 2) | Feedback input | Senses resistor-divider tap; internal 1.24V reference determines regulated output voltage |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Enable/disable control | Logic-level input: <0.4V disables (only LBD active); >1.4V enables; draws <0.1µA when high |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground | Primary return path for switch, error amp, and LBD; must tie directly to local ground plane |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch collector | Drives external inductor/diode; handles peak currents up to 1.5A; minimize trace area for EMI control |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input supply | Accepts 1.5–12V; requires local 22µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 5mm |
| LBI (Pin 7) | Low-battery input | High-impedance input referenced to 200mV; bias current flows out (≤60nA), enabling resistive divider sensing |
| LBO (Pin 8) | Low-battery output | Open-collector NPN output; sinks 10µA max; requires external 1MΩ pull-up for processor interrupt signaling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1A NPN switch | Eliminates external transistor and drive circuitry; reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| Active low-battery detector | Remains functional during shutdown - enables battery monitoring without system wake-up |
| External VC compensation | Allows optimization for low-ESR ceramic capacitors (e.g., 10µF X5R), reducing output ripple and size |
| 1.5V minimum input voltage | Supports deep discharge of single Li-ion or two alkaline cells - extends usable battery capacity |
| 600kHz fixed-frequency PWM | Enables use of small 10µH inductors and avoids audible noise; simplifies EMI filter design |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1317BEMS8#TRPBF | Pin-for-pin compatible; lower 600mA switch current limit; 1.25V FB reference; no LBI/LBO pins | Lacks low-battery monitoring; limited to ≤100mA output at 10V; unsuitable where battery state awareness is required | Select LT1317B only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for LBD and higher output current |
| LT3467ES6#TRPBF | Higher 1.3A switch; 1.23V FB; integrated soft-start; no LBI/LBO; SOT-23-6 package | Smaller footprint but no battery monitoring; requires different compensation; not pin-compatible | Choose LT3467 for space-constrained designs needing >175mA at 10V, accepting trade-off of missing LBD functionality |
Compared with LT1317B and LT3467, the LT1949ES8#TRPBF uniquely combines 1A switching capability, integrated low-battery detection with shutdown persistence, and SO-8 packaging - making it optimal for battery-critical LCD and portable instrumentation where both power and state monitoring are essential.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1949ES8#TRPBF to start switching?
The LT1949ES8#TRPBF starts switching at VIN ≥ 1.5V. This enables operation from deeply discharged single-cell Li-ion batteries or two-series alkaline cells. Startup behavior is verified across temperature; the device sustains regulation down to 1.7V under load per Electrical Characteristics table. Below 1.5V, the internal bias circuitry cannot activate the oscillator or error amplifier.
Can LT1949ES8#TRPBF be used in SEPIC topology, and what modifications are needed?
Yes, LT1949ES8#TRPBF supports SEPIC configuration, as confirmed in Typical Application TA02 (4-cell to 5V SEPIC). Required changes include adding a second coupled inductor (L2), repositioning D1 as a common cathode diode, and adjusting R1/R2 for 5V feedback. The VC pin compensation network must be retuned - typical values shift to 1MΩ + 3.3nF - due to altered loop dynamics and dual-inductor coupling effects.
How does the low-battery detector behave during LT1949ES8#TRPBF shutdown mode?
During shutdown (SHDN pin < 0.4V), the LT1949ES8#TRPBF disables the main switching regulator and error amplifier but keeps the low-battery detector fully active. The 200mV internal reference, LBI comparator, and open-collector LBO output remain powered. LBO pulls low when VLBI drops below 200mV ±10mV, allowing host microcontrollers to monitor battery state without waking the main system.
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LT1949ES8#TRPBF using a single inductor?
The LT1949ES8#TRPBF supports up to 28V output with a single inductor, constrained by its 30V absolute maximum SW pin voltage rating and internal switch breakdown margin. At 28V output, minimum input must be ≥2.5V to maintain stable regulation, and external diode (e.g., MBRM120LT3) and capacitor voltage ratings must be ≥35V. Efficiency drops to ~72% at 28V/50mA (VIN = 3.3V) per characterization data.
Is LT1949ES8#TRPBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LT1949ES8#TRPBF is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The "#TRPBF" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging per Analog Devices' product marking convention. The SO-8 package uses matte tin (Sn) lead finish, and all die attach, mold compound, and wire bond materials meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Full compliance documentation is available in ADI's PCN #17-0122.
