Product details
Overview
LT1171HVCT#30PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic high-efficiency 100kHz current-mode switching regulator IC with an integrated 2.5A, 75V power switch. It operates from 3V to 60V input, delivers up to 50W in buck/boost/flyback topologies, draws only 6mA quiescent current, and supports external shutdown (50µA standby). It is used in industrial DC-DC conversion where wide VIN, high reliability, and topology flexibility are required.
For engineers reviewing the LT1171HVCT#30PBF datasheet, LT1171HVCT#30PBF pinout, LT1171HVCT#30PBF application, or LT1171HVCT#30PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 75V switch breakdown rating, 2.5A internal switch current limit, TO-220-5 package thermal performance (θJA = 75°C/W), flyback-regulated floating output capability, and adaptive anti-saturation drive for stable operation across load transients.
Technical Context
The LT1171HVCT#30PBF implements current-mode control with a fixed 100kHz oscillator, enabling fast line/load transient response and simplified loop compensation. Its dual error amplifier architecture supports both standard regulation (via FB pin at 1.24V reference) and isolated flyback mode (via FB pin pull-down to 15V reference).
It integrates adaptive anti-saturation switch drive, internal 2.3V bias regulator, and logic-level shutdown via VC pin (<0.15V). The TO-220-5 package ties E1/E2 internally to GND, eliminating emitter sensing but optimizing thermal path for continuous 2.5A operation at ≤100°C ambient with minimal heatsinking.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3703-5 | External MOSFET driver; no integrated switch; 5V–100V input; 100kHz sync capability. | Requires external high-side N-MOSFET and bootstrap circuit; suited for >100W or higher efficiency needs. | Select when higher power, programmable frequency, or lower conduction loss is prioritized over integration. |
| LM2596HV | 3A switch; 60V max input; 150kHz fixed frequency; no flyback mode or VC-based shutdown. | Lacks flyback regulation, adaptive anti-sat, and precise 50µA shutdown - limited to non-isolated topologies. | Select for cost-sensitive, non-isolated buck applications where flyback capability and ultra-low standby are not required. |
Compared with LTC3703-5 and LM2596HV, the LT1171HVCT#30PBF uniquely combines 75V switch rating, flyback-mode isolation support, and sub-100µA shutdown in a single TO-220 package - making it optimal for space-constrained, isolated, or wide-input industrial power supplies where integration and topology flexibility outweigh raw efficiency targets.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT1171HVCT#30PBF?
The LT1171HVCT#30PBF supports a maximum supply voltage of 60V under normal operation, with an absolute maximum switch breakdown voltage of 75V. This HV grade variant is rated for continuous operation up to 60V input, exceeding the 40V limit of standard LT1171 variants - making it suitable for 48V industrial buses and automotive cold-crank scenarios.
Does the LT1171HVCT#30PBF support flyback topology with isolated outputs?
Yes, the LT1171HVCT#30PBF supports flyback-regulated mode. When the FB pin is pulled below 0.54V with an external resistor, it activates the internal flyback error amplifier with a 15.0V reference, enabling transformer-isolated output regulation without optocouplers or secondary-side feedback components.
What is the thermal resistance and heatsink requirement for the LT1171HVCT#30PBF in continuous 2.5A operation?
The LT1171HVCT#30PBF in TO-220-5 package has θJA = 75°C/W and θJC = 4°C/W. At 2.5A switch current and 24V input in buck mode, typical power dissipation is ~1.8W. With no heatsink, ambient must be ≤75°C to maintain TJ ≤100°C; adding a 10°C/W heatsink allows full-load operation up to 85°C ambient.
How does the LT1171HVCT#30PBF achieve current limiting and overload protection?
The LT1171HVCT#30PBF uses peak-current-mode control with a fixed 2.5A (typ.) internal current limit. Each switching cycle terminates when sensed switch current reaches the limit threshold. Combined with adaptive anti-saturation drive and thermal foldback, this provides robust pulse-by-pulse protection against short circuits and overloads without external sensing resistors.
Can the LT1171HVCT#30PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
No, the LT1171HVCT#30PBF does not support external synchronization. Unlike later-generation controllers, its 100kHz oscillator is fixed-frequency and not synchronizable. For designs requiring clock alignment (e.g., multi-rail systems), alternatives like LTC3703-5 or LT3757 should be considered.
