Product details
Overview
LT1076CT#06PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2A monolithic bipolar step-down switching regulator in a 5-lead TO-220 package, featuring 100kHz fixed-frequency operation, 8.5mA quiescent current, programmable current limit (2.6A typical), and input voltage range of 8V to 60V. It implements a classic buck topology with analog multiplier-based feedback for improved line transient response and is used in industrial power supplies requiring stable 5V–24V outputs.
For engineers reviewing the LT1076CT#06PBF datasheet, LT1076CT#06PBF pinout, LT1076CT#06PBF application, or LT1076CT#06PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2A integrated switch rating, 100kHz switching frequency, 2.21V internal reference, thermal resistance (θJA = 30°C/W), and compatibility with tapped-inductor and positive-to-negative converter topologies.
Technical Context
The LT1076CT#06PBF uses 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 (single NPN variant vs. LT1074's Darlington) delivers 1.7V "on" voltage at 2A and supports output swing up to 40V below ground for inverting configurations.
It integrates pulse-by-pulse current limiting with 600ns detection time, frequency downshifting (100kHz → 20kHz) when FB drops below 1.3V for short-circuit control, and micropower shutdown (140µA) activated below 0.3V on the SHDN pin - though SHDN is absent in the 5-lead T package, limiting shutdown functionality to VC pin control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2A continuous; enables compact 5V/12V buck supplies without external MOSFETs. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz nominal; balances EMI, inductor size, and efficiency for mid-power DC/DC designs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 60V; supports wide-input industrial rails including 24V and 48V systems. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.21V ±1.5%; sets output via external resistor divider with high accuracy over temperature. |
| Quiescent Current | 8.5mA typical; minimizes no-load power loss in always-on applications. |
| Current Limit | 2.6A typical (ILIM open); adjustable downward with external resistor on ILIM pin in 7-pin variants - not available on this 5-pin T package. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 30°C/W; requires minimal heatsinking for 2A loads at ambient ≤60°C. |
Pinout & Package
The LT1076CT#06PBF is housed in a 5-lead plastic TO-220 package (T package) with straight leads (flow code 06). The tab is electrically connected to GND and serves as the primary thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply and high-side switch source | Accepts 8–60V input; also powers internal bias circuitry; must be bypassed with low-ESR capacitor close to pin. |
| VSW | Switch collector output | Drives external inductor/diode; swings up to 40V below GND in inverting topologies; rated for 64V max VSW–VIN. |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Reference for internal 2.21V bandgap; must connect directly to output return to avoid load regulation error. |
| VC | Error amplifier output / compensation node | Controls duty cycle; connects to RC network for loop stability; clamped at 1.5V for 0% duty cycle. |
| FB/SENSE | Inverting input of error amplifier | Monitors output via resistor divider; 0.5µA bias current; sensitive to ripple (100mVp-p causes ~0.7% output shift). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Analog multiplier feedback | Eliminates input-voltage dependence in loop gain, improving line regulation and transient response without complex compensation. |
| Pulse-by-pulse current limiting | 600ns fault detection ensures robust short-circuit protection without external sensing components. |
| Frequency downshifting | Reduces switching frequency to 20kHz when FB < 1.3V, enabling stable current control during output shorts or very low VOUT. |
| Low quiescent current | 8.5mA operation enables use in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems where standby loss matters. |
| Wide input voltage support | Operates from 8V to 60V, covering standard 12V, 24V, and 48V industrial bus voltages without pre-regulation. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3605EDE#PBF | 3A synchronous buck, 3MHz switching, 2.7–5.5V input, integrated MOSFETs; no HV capability. | Not suitable for >6V input; optimized for low-VIN portable apps, not industrial 24V/48V rails. | Select only for low-input, high-frequency, space-constrained designs where 60V tolerance is unnecessary. |
| LM2596T-5.0/NOPB | 3A buck, 150kHz, 4–40V input, fixed 5V output, no analog multiplier, higher quiescent current (5mA typical but no micropower mode). | Lacks line-transient performance and programmable features; limited to fixed-output use cases. | Choose for cost-sensitive, fixed-5V applications where dynamic performance and flexibility are secondary. |
Compared with LTC3605EDE#PBF and LM2596T-5.0/NOPB, the LT1076CT#06PBF uniquely combines 60V input tolerance, analog multiplier-based line regulation, and proven ruggedness in industrial environments - making it irreplaceable for wide-input, high-reliability buck conversion where transient immunity and topology flexibility matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1076CT#06PBF?
The LT1076CT#06PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 60V. Its recommended operating input voltage range is 8V to 60V for buck-mode operation. Below 8V, startup may fail unless using inverting or boost configurations with self-boot capability down to 5V - however, the LT1076CT#06PBF is not characterized for reliable operation below 8V in standard buck mode per datasheet specifications.
Does the LT1076CT#06PBF support shutdown functionality?
No - the LT1076CT#06PBF in the 5-lead TO-220 (T) package does not include a dedicated SHDN pin. Shutdown must be implemented externally by pulling the VC pin low or disabling the input supply. Full micropower shutdown (140µA) is only available on 7-pin variants (e.g., LT1076CT7) with the SHDN pin. This limitation is inherent to the T-package pinout of the LT1076CT#06PBF.
Can the LT1076CT#06PBF be used in a positive-to-negative converter configuration?
Yes - the LT1076CT#06PBF supports positive-to-negative conversion because its VSW pin is rated to swing up to 40V below ground. When configured as an inverting buck-boost, it generates negative output voltages (e.g., –5V or –12V) from a positive input. This capability is explicitly validated in Linear Technology Application Note 44 and confirmed in the LT1076CT#06PBF's absolute maximum ratings and typical application circuits.
What is the typical current limit setting for the LT1076CT#06PBF?
The LT1076CT#06PBF has a factory-set current limit of 2.6A (typical) when the ILIM pin is left open. This value is fixed for the 5-pin T package - unlike 7-pin versions, it does not support external adjustment of current limit via an ILIM resistor. The device will enter pulse-by-pulse current limiting if switch current exceeds this threshold, with 600ns fault detection and automatic recovery.
Is the LT1076CT#06PBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the "#06PBF" suffix in LT1076CT#06PBF explicitly denotes a lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging variant. The "PBF" stands for Pb-Free, and the part meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) requirements. It is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standards and carries full RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and REACH compliance documentation from Analog Devices.
