Product details
Overview
LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic 5A, 100kHz high-efficiency switching regulator IC in a 5-lead DD (TO-220–like) package. It integrates a 75V breakdown-rated power switch, current-mode PWM controller, oscillator, error amplifier, and protection circuitry. Designed for buck, boost, flyback, inverting, and Cuk topologies, it delivers up to 100W output power with input voltage range 3V to 60V and quiescent current of 6mA - used in industrial DC-DC conversion where wide VIN and robust overload protection are required.
For engineers reviewing the LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF datasheet, LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF pinout, LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF application, or LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its HV-grade 75V switch breakdown rating, 5A internal switch current limit, flyback-regulated floating output capability, shutdown mode drawing only 50µA, and compatibility with standard 5-pin thermal packages for high-power density designs.
Technical Context
The LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF employs current-mode control architecture with adaptive anti-saturation drive for the integrated NPN power switch, enabling stable operation across wide load currents without efficiency loss. Its dual-error-amplifier structure supports both normal regulation (1.24V reference at FB) and isolated flyback mode (15V–18V flyback reference), with dedicated VC pin for compensation, soft-start, current limit adjustment, and shutdown.
It operates at a fixed 100kHz switching frequency, features internal 2.3V low-dropout bias regulator for core circuitry, and includes built-in overcurrent protection via pulse-by-pulse current limiting. The HV variant extends absolute maximum supply voltage to 60V and switch breakdown voltage to 75V - critical for automotive and industrial 48V bus applications.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flyback-regulated floating outputs | Enables fully isolated multiple-output supplies without optocouplers or secondary-side sensing |
| Adaptive anti-saturation switch drive | Maintains high efficiency across 0–5A load range by dynamically optimizing base drive to prevent saturation |
| Self-protected against overloads | Pulse-by-pulse current limiting + thermal foldback prevents damage during short-circuit or startup faults |
| Operates in all standard topologies | Single IC supports buck, boost, flyback, forward, inverting, and Cuk - reduces BOM count and design cycle time |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3703IGN#PBF | External MOSFET driver; 4–36V input; no integrated switch; higher efficiency at >100kHz | Requires external high-side N-channel MOSFET; better suited for >10A, >200kHz designs | Select when higher efficiency, programmable frequency, or >5A output is required - not drop-in compatible |
| LM5088MHX/NOPB | 5A integrated switch; 4.5–75V input; 1MHz switching; no flyback mode support | Lacks flyback regulation and dual-reference capability; optimized for buck/boost only | Choose for cost-sensitive 1MHz designs needing wider VIN but no isolation - pinout and FB behavior differ |
Compared with LTC3703IGN#PBF and LM5088MHX/NOPB, the LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF uniquely combines 75V switch rating, flyback-mode capability, and self-protected 5A integration in a thermally efficient 5-lead DD package - making it optimal for ruggedized, isolated, or wide-VIN medium-power converters where component count and fault resilience are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF?
The LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 60V and a switch breakdown voltage rating of 75V. This HV grade variant is specifically qualified for operation up to 60V continuous input, exceeding the 40V limit of standard LT1170 variants - making it suitable for 48V industrial and automotive systems with transient headroom.
Does LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF support flyback topology with isolated outputs?
Yes, the LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF supports flyback regulation via its dual-reference architecture: pulling the FB pin below 0.45V activates flyback mode with a 15V–18V reference, enabling regulation of reflected primary voltage. This allows fully floating, transformer-isolated outputs without optocouplers or secondary-side feedback components - confirmed in the device's block diagram and typical application circuits.
What is the thermal performance of LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF in the Q-package?
The LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF in the 5-lead DD (Q) package achieves θJA between 25°C/W (with 2.8 in² of 1 oz copper) and 45°C/W (with 0.2 in²), depending on PCB layout. Its GND-tab construction provides direct thermal path to copper, enabling 100W operation without heatsink in well-designed layouts - verified in thermal characterization data and AN19 efficiency calculations.
Can LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF supports external synchronization in the 120–160kHz range by applying narrow (<0.3µs) pulses to the VC pin via an external transistor. This feature reduces EMI in systems with multiple switching regulators - detailed in the "Synchronizing" section of the datasheet with verified waveforms and offset calculations.
What protection features are built into LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF?
The LT1170HVCQ#TRPBF includes pulse-by-pulse current limiting, adaptive anti-saturation drive, thermal foldback (untested but functional), and shutdown mode drawing only 50µA. Its integrated 5A switch and 75V breakdown rating provide intrinsic overvoltage and overload resilience - eliminating need for external current-sense resistors or protection ICs in most medium-power applications.
