Product details
Overview
LT1072HVCT#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic high-efficiency current-mode switching regulator IC with an integrated 1.25A power switch, operating from 3V to 60V input and delivering up to 20W output power in buck, boost, flyback, forward, inverting, and Cuk topologies. It features 40kHz fixed-frequency operation, 6mA quiescent current, and flyback-regulated isolated outputs without optocouplers.
For engineers reviewing the LT1072HVCT#PBF datasheet, LT1072HVCT#PBF pinout, LT1072HVCT#PBF application, or LT1072HVCT#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V max input rating, 75V switch breakdown voltage, shutdown mode (50µA), adaptive anti-saturation drive, and support for fully floating outputs in flyback mode - critical for offline converters, battery upconverters, and isolated dual-rail supplies.
Technical Context
The LT1072HVCT#PBF implements current-mode control with a 40kHz oscillator, enabling fast line transient response and simplified loop compensation. Its internal 1.25A switch uses adaptive anti-saturation drive to maintain efficiency across wide load ranges, while the error amplifier (gm = 3000–6000 µmho) and flyback amplifier (gm = 150–650 µmho) provide precise regulation in both standard and isolated configurations.
It supports external synchronization (48–70kHz), programmable current limiting via the VC pin, soft-start via capacitor coupling, and shutdown activation at VC < 0.15V. The flyback regulation mode uses a dedicated 16.3V reference (±1.3V) and blanking delay (~1.5µs) to reject leakage spikes, enabling stable multi-output isolation without auxiliary windings or optocouplers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1072CT#PBF | Lower 40V max input and 65V switch breakdown vs. HV version's 60V/75V | Not suitable for 48V+ input or high-reflected-voltage flyback designs | Select only if input stays ≤40V and isolation margin is ≥10V |
| LT1071HVCT#PBF | 2.5A switch (vs. 1.25A), same 60V/75V ratings, identical pinout and footprint | Supports higher output power (≥35W) without redesign; requires larger inductor and diode | Drop-in upgrade path when load current exceeds 1.25A or power demand rises above 20W |
Compared with LT1072CT#PBF, the LT1072HVCT#PBF provides essential 20V headroom for 48V systems and safer flyback operation; versus LT1071HVCT#PBF, it trades half the switch current for lower gate drive loss and reduced thermal stress in ≤20W designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1072HVCT#PBF?
The LT1072HVCT#PBF has a maximum input voltage rating of 60V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This is distinct from the standard LT1072CT#PBF (40V max). Exceeding 60V risks permanent damage to the internal switch, whose breakdown voltage is rated at 75V - providing necessary margin for transient spikes in offline applications.
Does the LT1072HVCT#PBF support isolated flyback operation without an optocoupler?
Yes, the LT1072HVCT#PBF supports true optocoupler-free isolated flyback regulation via its dedicated flyback mode. When the FB pin is pulled below 0.54V, the IC switches to regulating the amplitude of the transformer's flyback pulse using an internal 16.3V reference. This eliminates the need for optocouplers or auxiliary windings while maintaining tight output regulation across load and line variations.
What package type is used for the LT1072HVCT#PBF?
The LT1072HVCT#PBF uses a 5-lead TO-220 package (T package), with the metal tab electrically connected to the GND pin. Its thermal characteristics - θJA = 50°C/W and θJC = 8°C/W - allow reliable operation up to ~15W without a heatsink under natural convection, making it suitable for space-constrained industrial power supplies.
How does the LT1072HVCT#PBF achieve current-mode control?
The LT1072HVCT#PBF implements current-mode control by comparing sensed switch current against a threshold set by the VC pin voltage. At each 40kHz oscillator cycle, the internal switch turns on; it turns off when current reaches the trip level. This architecture provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, improved line transient response, and simplified loop compensation - all realized without external current-sense resistors.
Can the LT1072HVCT#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LT1072HVCT#PBF supports external synchronization from 48kHz to 70kHz by pulling the VC pin to ground with a narrow (<1µs) pulse via an external transistor. This feature enables EMI reduction through frequency dithering or phase interleaving in multi-rail systems, while preserving regulation accuracy - with typical offset shift <2.2mV under defined sync conditions.
