Product details
Overview
LT1074HVIT#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 5A monolithic bipolar step-down switching regulator with integrated 60V-rated power switch, designed for high-input-voltage buck, positive-to-negative, and tapped-inductor converter topologies. It operates from 8V to 60V input, delivers adjustable output from 2.5V to 50V, features 100kHz fixed-frequency operation, 8.5mA quiescent current, and programmable current limit up to 6.5A - used in industrial power supplies and high-voltage DC-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LT1074HVIT#PBF datasheet, LT1074HVIT#PBF pinout, LT1074HVIT#PBF application, or LT1074HVIT#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its HV-rated 60V input capability, 5A onboard switch, true analog multiplier feedback for line transient immunity, ILIM-adjustable current limit, and TO-220-7 package with shutdown and current limit pins.
Technical Context
The LT1074HVIT#PBF implements a classic buck topology enhanced with a true analog multiplier in the feedback loop, making loop gain independent of input voltage and enabling near-instantaneous response to VIN transients. Its Darlington NPN switch supports 40V swing below ground, enabling tapped-inductor configurations delivering up to 10A at 5V.
It integrates pulse-by-pulse current limiting with ≈600ns fault detection, frequency downshifting (100kHz → 20kHz) when FB drops below 1.3V for short-circuit control, and micropower shutdown (<300µA) via dedicated SHDN pin. The ILIM pin allows external resistor programming of current limit from zero to 6.5A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 60V - supports wide industrial and telecom input rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 5A continuous - enables compact high-current buck designs without external MOSFETs. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz (±10%) - balances efficiency, EMI, and inductor size; downshifts to 20kHz under overload. |
| Current Limit Range | 0 to 6.5A - set via ILIM pin resistor; open-circuit default is 6.5A for LT1074HV. |
| Quiescent Current | 8.5mA - enables low-noise, high-efficiency operation at light loads. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.21V ±1.5% - precision trimmed internal reference for stable output regulation. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤300µA - ensures ultra-low power state during system standby. |
Pinout & Package
LT1074HVIT#PBF is housed in a 7-lead plastic TO-220 package (T7) with tab connected to GND. The package provides thermal performance of θJA = 35°C/W and θJC = 2.5°C/W, suitable for convection-cooled industrial applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply and high-side switch source | Carries full input current; must be bypassed with low-ESR capacitor close to pin. |
| VSW | Switch collector output | Swings to 40V below GND; drives external inductor/diode in buck or inverting topologies. |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Internal reference and error amplifier ground; must connect directly to low-current output return path. |
| VC | Error amplifier output | Drives external RC compensation network; controls duty cycle via PWM comparator. |
| FB/SENSE | Inverting input of error amplifier | Compares divided output against 2.21V reference; also triggers frequency downshift below 1.3V. |
| ILIM | Current limit programming | Accepts external resistor to GND to scale current limit from zero to 6.5A. |
| SHDN | Shutdown control | Active-low: ≥2.45V enables operation; ≤0.3V forces full micropower shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True analog multiplier feedback | Eliminates line-regulation dependency on input voltage, improving transient response and simplifying loop compensation. |
| Programmable current limit | External resistor on ILIM pin sets precise overcurrent threshold from zero to 6.5A, enabling custom short-circuit protection. |
| Frequency downshifting | Automatically reduces switching frequency from 100kHz to 20kHz as FB falls below 1.3V, maintaining control during output shorts. |
| Micropower shutdown | Reduces total supply current to ≤300µA while preserving fast wake-up and no latch-up behavior. |
| 40V negative swing capability | Enables tapped-inductor buck and positive-to-negative converter topologies delivering up to 10A at 5V. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3775EFE#PBF | External MOSFET controller (no internal switch); supports up to 60V input; requires dual external FETs. | Used where higher efficiency (>95%), lower heat, or synchronous rectification is required - not suitable for space-constrained single-chip designs. | Select LTC3775EFE#PBF only when thermal budget or efficiency demands exceed LT1074HVIT#PBF's 5A integrated switch capability. |
| LM5088MHX/NOPB | 65V input, 5A peak current limit, current-mode control; no analog multiplier; fixed 100kHz or adjustable 50–1000kHz. | Preferred for designs needing adjustable frequency or better light-load efficiency; lacks VSW swing below GND and tapped-inductor support. | Choose LM5088MHX/NOPB for new designs prioritizing flexibility and modern current-mode stability, but verify absence of negative-swing requirement. |
Compared with LTC3775EFE#PBF and LM5088MHX/NOPB, LT1074HVIT#PBF uniquely combines integrated 5A switch, 40V negative VSW swing, analog multiplier feedback, and ILIM-programmable current limit in a single TO-220-7 package - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, high-input-voltage buck and inverting converters where simplicity and proven reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT1074HVIT#PBF?
The LT1074HVIT#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 64V, with recommended continuous operation up to 60V. This HV rating distinguishes it from the standard LT1074 (45V max), enabling direct connection to 48V telecom or 60V industrial buses without pre-regulation. Always observe derating guidelines per ambient temperature and PCB copper area.
Does LT1074HVIT#PBF support negative output voltage generation?
Yes, LT1074HVIT#PBF supports positive-to-negative converter topologies. Its VSW pin is specified to swing 40V below ground, allowing it to drive center-tapped inductors or configure as an inverting buck-boost. Application Note AN44 provides validated schematics for –5V/1A operation from +24V input using LT1074HVIT#PBF in standard TO-220-7 layout.
How is current limit programmed on LT1074HVIT#PBF?
Current limit on LT1074HVIT#PBF is programmed via the ILIM pin: connecting an external resistor RLIM from ILIM to GND sets ILIM ≈ (320µA × RLIM). For example, a 7kΩ resistor yields ~2.24A limit. With ILIM open, LT1074HVIT#PBF defaults to 6.5A. The formula RLIM = ILIM(2kΩ) + 1kΩ applies for LT1074HV variants.
What thermal performance can be expected from LT1074HVIT#PBF in TO-220-7 package?
LT1074HVIT#PBF in the T7 (TO-220-7) package has θJA = 35°C/W and θJC = 2.5°C/W when mounted on 0.5 in² of 1 oz. copper over internal ground plane. At 5A load and 25°C ambient, junction temperature rise is ~175°C above ambient - requiring heatsinking or airflow for sustained operation. Derate linearly above 125°C junction temperature.
Can LT1074HVIT#PBF operate with input voltage below 8V?
No - LT1074HVIT#PBF requires minimum 8V on VIN for normal buck regulation. However, in inverting or boost configurations, the self-boot feature enables startup down to 5V input. This is explicitly documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section for LT1074HV variants.
