Product details
Overview
LT1171HVIQ#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic high-efficiency 100kHz current-mode switching regulator with an integrated 2.5A, 75V internal power switch. It operates from 3V to 60V input, delivers up to 50W in buck/boost/flyback topologies, and features 6mA quiescent current, shutdown mode drawing only 50µA, and flyback-regulated floating outputs. It is used in industrial DC-DC conversion where wide VIN, isolation, and rugged operation are required.
For engineers reviewing the LT1171HVIQ#PBF datasheet, LT1171HVIQ#PBF pinout, LT1171HVIQ#PBF application, or LT1171HVIQ#PBF equivalent, key selection factors include its HV-grade 75V switch breakdown, –40°C to 100°C operating junction temperature, 5-pin TO-220 package thermal performance (θJA = 75°C/W), and compatibility with flyback, boost, and inverting configurations without external drive circuitry.
Technical Context
The LT1171HVIQ#PBF implements current-mode control with adaptive anti-saturation switch drive, enabling stable operation across wide load ranges while maintaining efficiency. Its error amplifier provides transconductance of 2400–4400 µmho and reference voltage accuracy of ±1.2% over temperature.
It supports dual regulation modes: normal mode (1.24V feedback threshold) and flyback mode (15.0–18.0V programmable reference), with dedicated blanking time (1.5µs) to reject transformer leakage spikes. The VC pin serves as combined compensation node, current limit adjust, soft-start input, and shutdown control interface.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3891EMSE#PBF | 40V max VIN, 100kHz sync capability, requires external MOSFETs, higher BOM cost | Targeted at high-efficiency synchronous buck; not suitable for flyback or isolated designs | Choose only if synchronous rectification and <40V input are mandatory |
| LM5017MMX/NOPB | 75V switch, 100kHz fixed freq, no flyback mode, lower 1.5A switch rating, SO-8 package | Optimized for non-isolated buck; lacks FB-mode flexibility and HV thermal robustness | Select when board space is constrained and isolation is unnecessary |
Compared with LTC3891EMSE#PBF and LM5017MMX/NOPB, LT1171HVIQ#PBF uniquely integrates flyback regulation, 75V switch, and –40°C to 100°C operation in a thermally efficient TO-220 package-making it optimal for ruggedized isolated DC-DC where simplicity and reliability outweigh synchronous efficiency gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT1171HVIQ#PBF?
The LT1171HVIQ#PBF supports a maximum supply voltage of 60V, with an absolute maximum switch breakdown rating of 75V. This HV grade (denoted by "HV" in the part number) exceeds the standard LT1171's 40V rating, enabling use in 48V industrial buses and transient-prone environments. Operation above 60V violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and risks permanent damage to the LT1171HVIQ#PBF.
Does the LT1171HVIQ#PBF support flyback topology with primary-side regulation?
Yes, the LT1171HVIQ#PBF supports flyback topology with primary-side regulation via its dedicated flyback mode. When the FB pin is pulled below 0.45V with an external resistor, the device switches to flyback regulation using a 15.0–18.0V internal reference. This allows accurate isolated output control without optocouplers or secondary-side sensing circuits - a core capability of the LT1171HVIQ#PBF.
What thermal derating applies to the LT1171HVIQ#PBF in TO-220 package?
The LT1171HVIQ#PBF in its 5-lead plastic TO-220 package has θJA = 75°C/W under standard JEDEC conditions. At 100°C maximum junction temperature and 25°C ambient, maximum continuous power dissipation is ~1.0W. For reliable operation at full 2.5A switch current, PCB copper area ≥2.8 in² (1 oz) and airflow >200 LFM are recommended - critical thermal constraints for the LT1171HVIQ#PBF in high-power applications.
Can the LT1171HVIQ#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LT1171HVIQ#PBF supports external synchronization in the 120–160kHz range by pulling the VC pin to ground with a narrow (<0.3µs) transistor pulse. This feature enables EMI reduction in noise-sensitive systems and avoids beat frequencies in multi-regulator boards. Synchronization does not affect regulation accuracy of the LT1171HVIQ#PBF but introduces a small offset shift (~3.8mV typical) that remains within specification limits.
How does the LT1171HVIQ#PBF implement current-mode control?
The LT1171HVIQ#PBF implements true current-mode control by directly comparing sensed switch current against a voltage derived from the VC pin. At each oscillator cycle, the internal switch turns on; it turns off when current reaches the VC-set threshold. This provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, fast line transient response, and simplified loop compensation - fundamental behaviors confirmed in the LT1171HVIQ#PBF's block diagram and electrical characteristics table.
