Product details
Overview
LT1949IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-frequency current-mode step-up DC/DC converter with a 1A, 0.5Ω internal NPN switch, generating 10V at 175mA from 3.3V input. It features 600kHz switching, 1.24V feedback reference, and integrated low-battery detector active in shutdown-designed for LCD bias supplies in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1949IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1949IS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1949IS8#TRPBF application, or LT1949IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5V–12V input range, 30V switch rating, VC compensation flexibility, LBO open-collector output, and –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature grade.
Technical Context
The LT1949IS8#TRPBF employs peak-current-mode control with a 600kHz oscillator and internal ramp compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its error amplifier (gm = 70–240 µmhos, AV = 700 V/V) drives the VC pin to regulate output via external RC compensation, enabling stable operation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
It integrates a precision 200mV low-battery detector with ±5% threshold accuracy and 2000 V/V gain, maintaining functionality during shutdown (25µA IQ). The SHDN pin accepts logic-level enable (1.4V high, 0.4V low), while SW pin supports up to 30V swing and 1.13A typical switch current limit at 30% duty cycle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Rating | 30V max SW voltage - enables up to 28V output using single inductor |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.24V ±20mV - sets output via R1/R2 divider: VOUT = 1.24V × (1 + R1/R2) |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.13A typ at 30% duty - ensures safe 1A continuous operation with margin |
| Quiescent Current | 4.5mA typ operating / 25µA typ shutdown - minimizes battery drain in portable use |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 200mV ±10mV - precise trip point for LBI input, active even in shutdown mode |
| VC Transconductance | 70–240 µmhos - determines compensation network sensitivity and loop stability |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded and medical instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
LT1949IS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package, 0.150" wide, with standard SO8 footprint and 1.27mm pitch. Thermal resistance θJA = 120°C/W; maximum junction temperature = 125°C.
| 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; 1.24V reference sets regulated output voltage |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Enable/disable control | Pull ≤0.4V for shutdown (LBO remains active); ≥1.4V to enable; logic-compatible input |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground | Primary return path; must tie directly to local ground plane at single point to avoid dI/dt noise coupling |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch collector | Connects to inductor/diode; handles high-speed 1A switching; requires minimized trace area for EMI control |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input supply | 1.5V–12V input; must be bypassed with low-ESR capacitor placed ≤5mm from pin |
| LBI (Pin 7) | Low-battery detector input | Accepts scaled battery voltage; internal 200mV reference compares against LBI to trigger LBO |
| LBO (Pin 8) | Low-battery output | Open-collector NPN output; sinks 10µA; requires external 1MΩ pull-up for processor interface |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 600kHz switching | Enables compact LC filter design with predictable EMI profile and easy noise filtering |
| Internal 1A, 0.5Ω NPN switch | Eliminates external transistor; delivers 175mA at 10V from 3.3V with minimal conduction loss |
| VC pin for external compensation | Allows optimization for ceramic output capacitors and varying load dynamics without redesign |
| Low-battery detector active in shutdown | Permits system-level battery monitoring during sleep modes without auxiliary circuitry |
| 1.24V precision feedback reference | Ensures tight output regulation across temperature and line/load variations |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1317BEMS8#TRPBF | Same pinout, 600kHz, but lower 600mA switch current and 20V switch rating | Rated for ≤100mA output; unsuitable for 175mA LCD bias loads | Select only for lower-current portable applications where size and IQ match are prioritized over output capability |
| LT3467EFE#TRPBF | Higher 2.5A switch, 40V rating, 1.2MHz switching, but requires external compensation and lacks integrated LBO | No built-in low-battery detector; needs external comparator and reference for battery monitoring | Choose when higher output current or faster transient response is required, accepting added component count for supervision |
Compared with LT1317BEMS8#TRPBF and LT3467EFE#TRPBF, the LT1949IS8#TRPBF uniquely balances 1A output capability, integrated LBO functionality, and SO-8 industrial temperature rating-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-aware LCD and portable instrumentation designs where both power and supervision are co-integrated.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the LT1949IS8#TRPBF?
The LT1949IS8#TRPBF operates with input voltages as low as 1.5V, enabling compatibility with partially discharged single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline batteries. This specification is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and allows the LT1949IS8#TRPBF to sustain regulation in brownout conditions where other converters would drop out.
How does the low-battery detector function in shutdown mode for the LT1949IS8#TRPBF?
The LT1949IS8#TRPBF's low-battery detector remains fully active during shutdown, drawing only 25µA total quiescent current. Its internal 200mV reference compares against the voltage applied to the LBI pin; when LBI falls below threshold, the open-collector LBO pin pulls low-allowing host microcontrollers to monitor battery state without powering the main converter. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Figure 5 of the LT1949IS8#TRPBF datasheet.
What compensation network is recommended for ceramic output capacitors with the LT1949IS8#TRPBF?
A 68kΩ resistor in series with a 330pF capacitor connected between the VC pin and ground is the standard compensation network for ceramic output capacitors with the LT1949IS8#TRPBF. This combination stabilizes the current-mode loop across load and input variations, as validated in Typical Application Circuit 1 (Figure 1) and confirmed in the "VC (Pin 1)" functional description section of the LT1949IS8#TRPBF datasheet.
Is the LT1949IS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with any other Linear/Analog Devices boost converters?
Yes-the LT1949IS8#TRPBF is pin-for-pin compatible with the LT1317B in both MSOP and SO packages, sharing identical pin assignments for VIN, SW, FB, GND, SHDN, LBI, LBO, and VC. However, the LT1949IS8#TRPBF offers higher 1A switch current and 30V rating versus the LT1317B's 600mA and 20V limits, making direct substitution viable only when electrical margins are verified per application load.
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LT1949IS8#TRPBF?
The LT1949IS8#TRPBF supports output voltages up to 28V, limited by its 30V-rated internal switch and the breakdown voltage of external components (diode, capacitor, inductor). This is explicitly stated in the product description and reinforced by Absolute Maximum Ratings specifying SW voltage from –0.4V to +30V. Output voltage is set by the FB divider ratio, not by internal regulation limits.
