The LT1109 is a simple step-up DC/DC converter. Avail-
able in 8-pin SO, 3-lead TO-92 (fixed output only) or
miniDIP packages, the devices require only three external
components to construct a complete DC/DC converter.
Current drain is just 320µA at no load, making the device
ideal for cost-sensitive applications where standby cur-
rent must be kept to a minimum.
The LT1109-5 can deliver 5V at 100mA from a 3V input
and the LT1109-12 can deliver 12V at 60mA from a 5V
input. The 8-pin versions also feature a logic controlled
SHUTDOWN pin that turns off the oscillator when taken
low. The gated-oscillator design requires no frequency
compensation components. The high frequency 120kHz
oscillator permits the use of small surface mount induc-
tors and capacitors. For a 5V to 12V at 120mA converter,
see the LT1109A. Foa a 5V to 12V at 200mA converter
with 20µA shutdown current, see the LT1301.

LT1109Z OPERATIO
The LT1109Z-5 and LT1109Z-12 are fixed output voltage
step-up DC/DC converters in a 3-pin TO-92 package.
Power for internal regulator circuitry is taken from the
V
OUT
pin, a technique known as “bootstrapping.” Circuit
operation can be best understood by referring to the block
diagram. V
OUT
, attenuated by R1 and R2, is applied to the
negative input of comparator A1. When this voltage falls
below the 1.25V reference voltage, the oscillator is turned
on and the power switch Q1 cycles at the oscillator

frequency of 120kHz. Switch cycling alternately builds
current in the inductor, then dumps it into the output
capacitor, increasing the output voltage. When A1’s nega-
tive input rises above 1.25V, it turns off the oscillator. A
small amount of hysteresis in A1 obviates the need for
frequency compensation circuitry. When Q1 is off, current
into the V
OUT
pin drops to just 320µA. Quiescent current
from the battery will be higher because the device oper-
ates off the
stepped-up
voltage.

Separating the device V

rather than the (higher) output voltage. Although quies-

S I FOR ATIO
Inductor Selection
A DC/DC converter operates by storing energy as mag-
netic flux in an inductor core, and then switching this
energy into the load. To operate as an efficient energy
transfer element, the inductor must fulfill three require-
ments. First, the inductance must be low enough for the
inductor to store adequate energy under the worst case
condition of minimum input voltage and switch-ON time.
The inductance must also be high enough so that maxi-
mum current ratings of the LT1109 and inductor are not
exceeded at the other worst case condition of maximum
input voltage and ON time. Additionally, the inductor core
must be able to store the required flux; i.e., it must not
saturate.
At power levels generally encountered with
LT1109 designs, small ferrite surface-mount inductors
will function well. Lastly, the inductor must have suffi-
ciently low DC resistance so that excessive power is not
lost as heat in the windings. Look for DCR values in the
inductors’ specification tables; values under 0.5Ω will give
best efficiency. An additional consideration is Electro-
Magnetic Interference (EMI). Toroid and pot core type
inductors are recommended in applications where EMI
must be kept to a minimum; for example, where there are
sensitive analog circuitry or transducers nearby. Rod core
types are a less expensive choice where EMI is not a
problem.
Specifying a proper inductor for an application requires
first establishing minimum and maximum input voltage,
output voltage, and output current. In a step-up converter,
the inductive events add to the input voltage to produce the
output voltage. Power required from the inductor is deter-
mined by

reduced by using the 8-pin version since the quiescent
current flows from a lower voltage source. The SHUT-
DOWN pin disables the oscillator when taken to a logic “0.”
If left floating or tied high, the converter operates nor-
mally. With SHUTDOWN low, quiescent current remains
at 320µA.
