The LT
®
1107 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 LT1107 functions equally well in step-up, step-
down, or inverting applications.
The LT1107 is pin-for-pin compatible with the LT1111, but
has a duty cycle of 70%, resulting in increased output
current in many applications. The LT1107 can deliver
150mA at 5V from a 2AA cell input and 5V at 300mA from
24V in step-down mode. Quiescent current is just 320µA,
making the LT1107 ideal for power-conscious battery-
operated systems. The 63kHz oscillator is optimized to
work with surface mount inductors and capacitors.
Switch current limit can be programmed with a single
resistor. An auxiliary gain block can be configured as a
low-battery detector, linear post regulator, undervoltage
lock-out circuit, or error amplifier.

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 1.2V to 1.3V 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 AO pin.
