The LT
®
1111 is a versatile micropower DC/DC converter.
The device requires only three external components to
deliver a fixed output of 5V or 12V. Supply voltage ranges
from 2V to 12V in step-up mode and to 30V in step-down
mode. The LT1111 functions equally well in step-up, step-
down, or inverting applications.
The LT1111 oscillator is set at 72kHz, optimizing the
device to work with off-the-shelf surface mount inductors.
The device can deliver 5V at 100mA from a 3V input in
step-up mode or 5V at 200mA from a 12V input in step-
down mode.
Switch current limit can be programmed with a single
resistor. An auxiliary open-collector gain block can be
configured as a low-battery detector, linear post regulator,
undervoltage lock-out circuit, or error amplifier.
For input sources of less than 2V use the LT1110.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
This specification guarantees that both the high and low trip points
of the comparator fall within the 1.20V to 1.30V range.
Note 3:
The output voltage waveform will exhibit a sawtooth shape due to
the comparator hysteresis. The output voltage on the fixed output versions
will always be within the specified range.
Note 4:
100k resistor connected between a 5V source and the A0 pin.

GB Input. GB is an op amp with positive input
connected to SET pin and negative input connected to
1.25V reference.
FB/SENSE (Pin 8):
On the LT1111 (adjustable) this pin
goes to the comparator input. On the LT1111-5 and
LT1111-12, this pin goes to the internal application resistor
that sets output voltage.
I
LIM
(Pin 1):
Connect this pin to V

lower current limit is desired, connect a resistor between
I

. A 220Ω resistor will limit the switch current
to approximately 400mA.

SW2 (Pin 4):
Emitter of Power Transistor. For step-up
mode connect to ground. For step-down mode connect to
inductor/diode. This pin must never be allowed to go more
than a Schottky diode drop below ground.
