Operates at Supply Voltages From 2.0V to 30V
Consumes Only 110µA Supply Current
Works in Step-Up or Step-Down Mode
Only Three External Components Required
Low Battery Detector Comparator On-Chip
User-Adjustable Current Limit
Internal 1A Power Switch
Fixed or Adjustable Output Voltage Versions
Space Saving 8-Pin MiniDIP or SO8 Package
The LT1173 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 2.0V to 12V in step-up mode and to 30V in step-down
mode. The LT1173 functions equally well in step-up, step-
down or inverting applications.
The LT1173 consumes just 110µA supply current at
standby, making it ideal for applications where low quies-
cent current is important. The device can deliver 5V at
80mA 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 gain block can be configured as a low
battery detector, linear post regulator, under voltage lock-
out circuit or error amplifier.
For input sources of less than 2V, use the LT1073.

Note 2: 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 3: 100k resistor connected between a 5V source and the AO pin.
The denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1: This specification guarantees that both the high and low trip points
of the comparator fall within the 1.20V to 1.30V range.
