Product details
Overview
LT1070HVIT#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic high-efficiency 5A switching regulator IC with integrated 75V breakdown switch, operating from 3V to 60V input and delivering up to 100W output power in buck, boost, flyback, forward, and inverting topologies. It features current-mode control, 40kHz fixed-frequency oscillator, adaptive antisaturation drive, and flyback regulation mode for fully floating isolated outputs.
For engineers reviewing the LT1070HVIT#PBF datasheet, LT1070HVIT#PBF pinout, LT1070HVIT#PBF application, or LT1070HVIT#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world application cards, and two validated alternative parts - all derived from official Linear Technology documentation and package-specific characterization.
Technical Context
The LT1070HVIT#PBF implements current-mode switching control: the internal 5A/75V power switch turns on at each 40kHz oscillator cycle and turns off when sensed current reaches the programmed limit. Its error amplifier (gm = 3000–6000 µmho) drives the VC pin to regulate duty cycle, while adaptive antisat circuitry minimizes switch saturation loss and enables rapid turn-off.
Flyback regulation mode is activated by pulling the FB pin below 0.45V, disconnecting the main error amplifier and enabling the dedicated flyback amplifier (VFB = 16.3V typ, line regulation 0.03%/V). Shutdown is achieved by reducing VC voltage to ≤150mV, dropping supply current to 100–250µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 60V - supports wide industrial, automotive, and off-line input rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Switch Current Limit | 5A typical (≥4A guaranteed at 80% duty cycle) - enables high-power DC-DC conversion without external MOSFETs. |
| Switch Breakdown Voltage | 75V - allows safe operation with 60V HV input and transient margin in flyback or boost configurations. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 6mA typical - ensures low no-load power loss in battery-powered or standby-sensitive systems. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 100–250µA - enables ultra-low-power sleep mode for energy-critical applications. |
| Reference Voltage (FB) | 1.244V ±20mV - precision feedback threshold for stable output voltage regulation across temperature. |
| Switching Frequency | 40kHz ±5kHz - fixed frequency simplifies EMI filtering and magnetics design vs. variable-frequency controllers. |
Pinout & Package
LT1070HVIT#PBF is housed in a 5-lead plastic TO-220 (T-package) with exposed tab electrically connected to VIN. The package is rated for TJMAX = 100°C, θJA = 75°C/W, and QJC = 2°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input / Switch Source | Main input supply connection; also ties to exposed tab - requires thermal pad grounding or heatsinking per layout guidelines. |
| VSW | Switch Drain Output | High-voltage switching node connecting to external inductor/diode; must be routed with minimal parasitic inductance. |
| GND | Analog & Power Ground Reference | Common return for internal circuitry and feedback network; separate from VIN ground plane in high-noise layouts. |
| FB | Feedback Input / Mode Select | Normal regulation: senses output via resistor divider; <0.45V activates flyback regulation mode for isolated outputs. |
| VC | Error Amplifier Output / Control Interface | Drives external compensation network; clamped to set current limit; pulled low to enable shutdown (≤150mV). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 5A/75V Power Switch | Eliminates need for external high-current MOSFETs or BJTs in ≤100W converters, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Flyback Regulation Mode | Enables fully floating, optocoupler-free isolated outputs by regulating flyback pulse amplitude - no extra transformer windings required. |
| Adaptive Antisaturation Drive | Dynamically adjusts gate drive to minimize switch conduction loss across 0–5A load range, preserving efficiency at light and heavy loads. |
| Current-Mode Control Architecture | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, fast line transient response, and simplified loop compensation vs. voltage-mode designs. |
| Shutdown Mode (50µA typ) | Reduces system standby power consumption significantly - critical for battery-backed or always-on industrial equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1070CT#PBF | Same die, but rated for 40V max input (vs. 60V) and 65V switch breakdown (vs. 75V); lower thermal rating (TJMAX = 100°C, θJA = 35°C/W). | Suitable only for ≤40V input systems; cannot replace LT1070HVIT#PBF in 48V telecom or 60V industrial applications. | Select LT1070CT#PBF only if input never exceeds 40V and board-level heatsinking supports higher θJA. |
| LT1370CN8#PBF | Higher 100kHz switching frequency, 6A switch, 35V input max; different pinout (8-pin DIP), no flyback regulation mode. | Enables smaller magnetics but lacks isolated-output capability; requires redesign of compensation and feedback networks. | Choose LT1370CN8#PBF when size reduction is critical and isolation is not required - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with LT1070CT#PBF, the LT1070HVIT#PBF adds 20V input headroom and 10V switch margin for robustness in fluctuating HV rails; compared with LT1370CN8#PBF, it trades higher frequency for built-in flyback regulation and proven 60V operation - making it uniquely suited for isolated off-line and wide-input industrial converters.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT1070HVIT#PBF?
The LT1070HVIT#PBF is rated for a maximum continuous input voltage of 60V, with an absolute maximum switch breakdown voltage of 75V. This HV rating distinguishes it from standard LT1070 variants (e.g., LT1070CT#PBF), which are limited to 40V input and 65V switch breakdown. Operation above 60V violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and risks permanent damage.
Does LT1070HVIT#PBF support isolated flyback topologies without optocouplers?
Yes, the LT1070HVIT#PBF includes a dedicated flyback regulation mode activated by pulling the FB pin below 0.45V. In this mode, it regulates the amplitude of the flyback pulse relative to VIN, enabling fully floating, optocoupler-free isolated outputs - confirmed in the datasheet's "Flyback Regulated Mode" section and TA08 application circuit.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to LT1070HVIT#PBF?
The LT1070HVIT#PBF uses the 5-lead plastic TO-220 (T-package) with exposed VIN-connected tab. Its thermal specifications are TJMAX = 100°C, θJA = 75°C/W, and QJC = 2°C - distinct from the CT variant's θJA = 35°C/W. Proper heatsinking of the tab is essential to maintain junction temperature within limits at full load.
How does current-mode control in LT1070HVIT#PBF improve transient response?
The LT1070HVIT#PBF's current-mode architecture directly compares sensed switch current to a voltage-derived threshold each cycle, providing immediate correction to input voltage changes. This eliminates the 90° phase lag inherent in voltage-mode control, resulting in superior line transient response - a key advantage documented in the "OPERATION" section of the datasheet.
Can LT1070HVIT#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
No - the LT1070HVIT#PBF uses a fixed 40kHz internal oscillator with no external synchronization input. The datasheet states "Can be Externally Synchronized (Consult Factory)" only for unspecified custom versions; the standard LT1070HVIT#PBF has no SYNC pin or documented sync capability. Designers requiring synchronization must select alternatives like LT3748 or LT830x series.
