Product details
Overview
LT1171HVCT#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage monolithic switching regulator IC with integrated 2.5A, 75V power switch, operating from 3V to 60V input and delivering up to 50W in buck/boost/flyback topologies. It features current-mode control, 100kHz fixed-frequency operation, 6mA quiescent current, and shutdown mode drawing only 50µA - used in industrial DC-DC conversion where wide VIN and rugged isolation are required.
For engineers reviewing the LT1171HVCT#PBF datasheet, LT1171HVCT#PBF pinout, LT1171HVCT#PBF application, or LT1171HVCT#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 75V switch breakdown voltage, confirmed TO-220-5 package thermal performance (θJA = 75°C/W), flyback-regulated floating output capability, and compatibility with standard 5-pin switching regulator layouts requiring no external gate driver or current sense resistor.
Technical Context
The LT1171HVCT#PBF implements current-mode switching control with adaptive anti-saturation drive for consistent efficiency across 0.1A–2.5A load range. Its error amplifier delivers 3000–4400 µmho transconductance and supports both normal (1.24V) and flyback (15.0–18.0V) reference modes via FB pin logic.
It integrates a 100kHz oscillator, internal 2.3V bias regulator, and dual-error-amplifier architecture enabling seamless transition between buck/boost and isolated flyback operation - with dedicated E1/E2 emitter pins internally tied to GND in TO-220 package, eliminating external emitter sensing complexity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 60V - supports direct connection to unregulated industrial rails, automotive batteries, or telecom -48V systems without pre-regulation. |
| Switch Breakdown Voltage | 75V - enables safe operation in 48V-input flyback designs with margin against transient spikes up to 60V nominal. |
| Max Switch Current | 2.5A at TJ ≥ 25°C - delivers up to 50W output power in boost/buck configurations with minimal external components. |
| Quiescent Current | 6mA - ensures low standby loss in always-on power supplies; drops to 50µA in shutdown mode for battery-backed systems. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.244V (typ) at FB pin - provides precise 0.03%/V line regulation for stable output under varying input conditions. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz (typ) - balances EMI control and magnetics size; externally synchronizable to 120–160kHz for noise-sensitive applications. |
| Flyback Reference | 15.0–18.0V (adjustable) - allows transformer-coupled isolated outputs without optocoupler feedback loop compensation. |
Pinout & Package
LT1171HVCT#PBF is housed in a 5-lead plastic TO-220 package (T package) with tab connected to GND. Thermal resistance is θJC = 4°C/W and θJA = 75°C/W, enabling 100% duty-cycle operation at ≤1.5A continuous load without heatsink in free-air convection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | Accepts 3–60V unregulated supply; connects directly to input capacitor and catch diode anode in boost topology. |
| VSW | Switch Output | Drives external inductor/diode network; rated for 75V breakdown and 2.5A peak current in HV grade. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for internal circuitry, error amplifier, and thermal tab - must be low-impedance PCB plane for stability. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage divider; pulls low to enable flyback mode with 15V reference; ±15V transient-rated. |
| VC | Error Amplifier Output | Provides gm-type error signal (3000–4400 µmho); used for compensation, soft-start, current limit adjustment, and shutdown control. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1171CT#PBF | Lower 65V switch breakdown rating; same 2.5A current limit and TO-220-5 package. | Not suitable for 48V-input flyback or boost with >60V transients; limited to ≤40V max input. | Select LT1171CT#PBF only when input voltage stays below 40V and transient margin is not critical. |
| LT3573EDD#PBF | Higher 75V switch rating but lower 1.5A current limit; requires external compensation and has 2.5MHz switching frequency. | Optimized for compact high-frequency designs with ceramic inductors; lacks flyback reference mode and integrated EMI filtering. | Choose LT3573EDD#PBF when board space is constrained and flyback isolation is not required. |
Compared with LT1171CT#PBF, the LT1171HVCT#PBF adds 10V headroom for transient robustness in industrial environments; versus LT3573EDD#PBF, it trades higher frequency for simpler design, built-in flyback support, and lower external part count in medium-power isolated supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT1171HVCT#PBF?
The LT1171HVCT#PBF supports a maximum supply voltage of 60V per Absolute Maximum Ratings, with a 75V switch breakdown voltage providing margin for transients. This allows reliable operation in 48V industrial systems where line surges up to 60V may occur. Operation above 60V violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage to the LT1171HVCT#PBF.
Does the LT1171HVCT#PBF require an external MOSFET for operation?
No, the LT1171HVCT#PBF integrates a 2.5A, 75V power switch on-die, eliminating the need for external MOSFETs or gate drivers in most buck, boost, and flyback designs. The internal switch handles all current-mode control and protection functions, allowing complete regulator implementation with only an inductor, diode, capacitor, and two resistors for feedback.
Can the LT1171HVCT#PBF be used in isolated flyback configurations without an optocoupler?
Yes, the LT1171HVCT#PBF supports flyback-regulated mode where the FB pin senses reflected primary voltage, enabling regulation of isolated outputs without optocouplers or secondary-side references. When FB is pulled low, the IC uses a 15.0–18.0V flyback reference, making the LT1171HVCT#PBF suitable for certified isolated supplies where component count and loop stability are critical.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LT1171HVCT#PBF in TO-220 package?
The LT1171HVCT#PBF in TO-220-5 package has θJA = 75°C/W and θJC = 4°C/W. With 1.5A load at 24V input in boost mode, typical power dissipation is ~0.4W, resulting in ~30°C rise above ambient - well within the 100°C junction limit. No heatsink is required for continuous operation below 1.5A in free-air convection.
How does the LT1171HVCT#PBF achieve current-mode control without external sense resistors?
The LT1171HVCT#PBF implements internal current sensing via the power switch's RDS(on) and adaptive anti-saturation circuitry, measuring switch current directly during each cycle. This eliminates external sense resistors and associated power loss, while providing inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and simplified loop compensation - a core design feature confirmed in the LT1171HVCT#PBF block diagram and electrical characteristics table.
