Product details
Overview
LT1071HVCK from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic high-voltage current-mode switching regulator IC with integrated 2.5A switch, 3V–60V input range, 40kHz fixed-frequency oscillator, and flyback regulation mode for isolated outputs. It operates in buck, boost, flyback, forward, inverting, and Cuk topologies and delivers up to 50W output power in LT1071HV variants. Used in off-line converters, battery upconverters, and industrial power supplies requiring wide-input, floating-output capability.
For engineers reviewing the LT1071HVCK datasheet, LT1071HVCK pinout, LT1071HVCK application, or LT1071HVCK equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V max input rating, 2.5A internal switch current limit, TO-220-5 package thermal performance, flyback regulation threshold at 0.45V on FB pin, and shutdown current of 50µA - all critical for ruggedized DC-DC design under variable line conditions.
Technical Context
The LT1071HVCK implements current-mode control: switch duty cycle is directly set by sensed switch current rather than output voltage feedback, enabling fast line transient response and inherent pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection. Its adaptive antisaturation driver minimizes switch saturation loss across load current extremes.
It integrates a 1.24V bandgap reference, error amplifier (gm = 4400 µmho typ), flyback amplifier, 40kHz oscillator, logic/driver, and 75V-rated 2.5A NPN switch. The VC pin serves quadruple function: compensation node, current limit adjust, soft-start interface, and shutdown control (≤0.15V triggers 50µA standby mode).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 60V - supports wide industrial, automotive, and off-line inputs without external pre-regulation. |
| Switch Current Limit | 2.5A (min) at TJ ≥ 25°C - defines maximum continuous output current in buck/boost; derates with duty cycle and temperature. |
| Reference Voltage (FB) | 1.244V (typ) - sets output voltage via resistive divider; ±1.6% initial accuracy enables <±2% output regulation. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 6mA (typ) - enables high efficiency at light loads; low bias current reduces no-load power loss. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 50µA (typ) - allows ultra-low-power standby in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Switch Breakdown Voltage | 75V - ensures safe operation with 60V input plus surge margin in flyback or boost configurations. |
| Operating Frequency | 40kHz (typ) - fixed frequency simplifies EMI filtering; stable across temperature and supply variations. |
Pinout & Package
LT1071HVCK is housed in a 5-lead plastic TO-220 (T-package) with exposed tab electrically connected to VIN. Thermal resistance θJA = 75°C/W (free air), θJC = 4°C/W. Mounting requires insulated hardware due to VIN-connected tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | Main supply input (3–60V); connects to exposed tab - must be isolated from heatsink unless heatsink is referenced to VIN. |
| VSW | Switch Collector | High-side NPN collector output; drives external inductor/diode network; swings up to 75V. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Analog and power ground return; separate from VIN - critical for noise immunity in current-sense path. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage divider; 0.45V threshold enables flyback regulation mode when pulled low. |
| VC | Error Amplifier Output / Control | Current-source output (200µA typ); used for compensation, current limit clamp, soft-start, and shutdown control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flyback Regulation Mode | Enables fully floating, optocoupler-free isolated outputs by regulating flyback pulse amplitude - eliminates secondary-side sensing complexity. |
| Adaptive Antisaturation Drive | Dynamically adjusts base drive to minimize switch saturation voltage across 0–2.5A load range - maintains high efficiency at both light and heavy loads. |
| Self-Protected Overload Handling | Internal current limiting + thermal shutdown prevent damage during short-circuit or overload - no external foldback circuitry required. |
| Wide Topology Support | Operates in buck, boost, flyback, forward, inverting, and Cuk configurations - one IC covers most non-isolated and isolated DC-DC needs. |
| Low Shutdown Current | 50µA typical supply draw in shutdown - suitable for battery-powered systems requiring long standby life. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3751IMSE | Higher 75V input rating, 100kHz switching, external MOSFET drive - no integrated switch. | Requires external high-side switch; suited for >5A designs where thermal management favors discrete FETs. | Choose LT3751IMSE when output current exceeds 2.5A or higher frequency (100kHz) is needed for smaller magnetics. |
| LM5009AMM/NOPB | 50V max input, 1A integrated switch, 1MHz fixed frequency, smaller TSOT-23-8 package. | Limited to lower power (<15W); lacks flyback regulation mode and wide-temp industrial grade screening. | Choose LM5009AMM/NOPB for space-constrained, cost-sensitive consumer applications below 1A output. |
Compared with LT3751IMSE and LM5009AMM/NOPB, the LT1071HVCK uniquely balances integrated 2.5A switch capability, 60V input resilience, flyback isolation support, and industrial temperature range - making it optimal for mid-power, ruggedized, multi-topology designs where BOM simplicity and reliability are prioritized over ultra-high frequency or ultra-low cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1071HVCK?
The LT1071HVCK has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 60V, with guaranteed operation across 3V to 60V input range. Its internal switch breakdown voltage is rated at 75V, providing 15V margin for transient suppression - essential for off-line and industrial applications where input surges occur.
Does the LT1071HVCK support isolated flyback topologies without optocouplers?
Yes, the LT1071HVCK supports flyback regulation mode: pulling the FB pin below 0.45V disconnects the main error amplifier and engages the flyback amplifier, enabling regulation of output voltage via primary-side flyback pulse amplitude - eliminating need for optocouplers or secondary-side references.
What is the thermal performance of the LT1071HVCK in TO-220 package?
The LT1071HVCK in T-package (TO-220-5) has θJA = 75°C/W (free air) and θJC = 4°C/W. The exposed tab is connected to VIN, so heatsinking requires electrical isolation unless the heatsink is referenced to VIN - critical for safe thermal design in high-power applications.
How does the LT1071HVCK implement current-mode control?
The LT1071HVCK uses true current-mode architecture: the switch turns off when sensed current reaches a level set by the VC pin voltage. This provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, excellent line regulation, and simplified loop compensation - unlike voltage-mode controllers that require additional slope compensation.
Can the LT1071HVCK be synchronized to an external clock?
No - the LT1071HVCK features a fixed 40kHz internal oscillator with no external synchronization input. The datasheet states "Can be Externally Synchronized (Consult Factory)", but this capability applies only to custom mask versions; standard LT1071HVCK lacks SYNC pin or frequency adjustment interface.
