Product details
Overview
LT1171HVIT#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic high-efficiency 2.5A switching regulator IC with integrated 75V breakdown switch, operating from 3V to 60V input and delivering up to 100W output power 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, battery upconverters, and isolated flyback supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1171HVIT#PBF datasheet, LT1171HVIT#PBF pinout, LT1171HVIT#PBF application, or LT1171HVIT#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its HV-grade 75V switch rating, TO-220-5 package thermal performance (θJA = 75°C/W), flyback-regulated floating output capability, and adaptive anti-saturation drive for wide load-current efficiency retention.
Technical Context
The LT1171HVIT#PBF implements current-mode switching control: the internal oscillator initiates each cycle, and the 2.5A switch turns off when sensed current reaches a level set by the error amplifier's VC pin voltage. This architecture delivers fast line transient response and simplifies loop compensation across varying input and load conditions.
It supports multiple topologies via external component configuration - including flyback with fully floating outputs - and includes dedicated circuitry for flyback blanking (1.5µs delay) and dual error amplifiers (normal mode: 1.24V reference; flyback mode: 15.0V reference). The HV variant maintains 75V switch breakdown and 60V absolute max supply voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Current Rating | 2.5A continuous - sets maximum deliverable output power in non-flyback topologies (e.g., 30W at 12V out from 5V in). |
| Switch Breakdown Voltage | 75V - enables safe operation with ≥60V input rails and robust isolation in flyback designs up to 55V input. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 60V - supports wide-range industrial, automotive, and battery-powered systems without external pre-regulation. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 6mA - minimizes no-load power loss in always-on applications such as remote sensors or standby power supplies. |
| Shutdown Current | 50µA typical - allows ultra-low-power sleep modes in portable or energy-harvesting systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz nominal - balances EMI, inductor size, and efficiency; externally synchronizable to 120–160kHz for noise reduction. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.244V (typ) at FB pin - defines output regulation accuracy in buck/boost; enables precise feedback divider design (e.g., 5V out = R1/R2 = 3.02). |
| Flyback Reference | 15.0V (typ) - used when FB pin is pulled low; regulates transformer-coupled outputs without direct input-output connection. |
Pinout & Package
LT1171HVIT#PBF is housed in a 5-lead plastic TO-220 package (T package) with tab connected to GND. Thermal resistance is θJA = 75°C/W, enabling operation up to 100°C ambient without heatsink in moderate-power applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | Primary supply rail (3–60V); connects to input capacitor and inductor feed point. |
| VSW | Switch Output | Drains internal 2.5A/75V N-channel switch; connects to inductor (buck/boost) or transformer primary (flyback). |
| GND | Ground Reference | Power and signal ground; tab is internally tied to this pin - must be soldered to PCB copper for thermal conduction. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage divider; <100mV triggers flyback mode; 1.244V target for standard regulation. |
| VC | Error Amplifier Output | Controls switch current limit and duty cycle; clamping between 1V–2V adjusts peak current from 0–2.5A. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 2.5A/75V Switch | Eliminates external MOSFET and driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in medium-power SMPS. |
| Flyback-Regulated Mode | Enables fully floating, transformer-isolated outputs with no optocoupler required - ideal for medical or safety-isolated supplies. |
| Adaptive Anti-Saturation Drive | Maintains high efficiency across 10:1 load range by dynamically adjusting gate drive to prevent switch saturation losses. |
| External Shutdown Control | VC pin pulled below 0.15V disables switching and reduces supply current to 50µA - supports system-level power sequencing. |
| Current-Mode Control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and stable operation with minimal compensation components (single-pole RC on VC). |
| Wide Input Range (3–60V) | Supports direct connection to 12V/24V/48V industrial buses and unregulated battery inputs without pre-conversion stages. |

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 input, 10A output, requires external MOSFETs, supports synchronous rectification. | Higher current, lower input voltage range; suited for high-efficiency 12V/48V intermediate bus converters. | Select when >5A output or >90% efficiency at light load is required; not drop-in due to external FET requirement. |
| LM5088MHX/NOPB | 60V max input, 5A switch, 1MHz switching, no integrated flyback mode or 15V reference. | Higher frequency enables smaller magnetics; lacks flyback regulation - requires optocoupler for isolation. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-isolated 60V-input applications where board space is constrained and isolation is unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC3891EMSE#PBF and LM5088MHX/NOPB, the LT1171HVIT#PBF uniquely combines HV-rated integration (75V switch + flyback reference), TO-220 thermal simplicity, and self-protected operation - making it optimal for ruggedized, medium-power isolated or wide-input industrial supplies where BOM count and reliability are prioritized over peak efficiency or miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT1171HVIT#PBF?
The LT1171HVIT#PBF has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 60V and a switch breakdown voltage of 75V. In flyback mode, the maximum recommended input is 55V to maintain safe margin against switch avalanche. Operation above 60V violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and risks permanent damage.
Does LT1171HVIT#PBF support flyback topology without an optocoupler?
Yes. The LT1171HVIT#PBF supports primary-side regulated flyback using its dedicated flyback error amplifier and 15.0V reference. When the FB pin is pulled below 0.54V, the IC switches to flyback mode and regulates the reflected flyback pulse amplitude - eliminating need for optocoupler or secondary-side feedback components.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of LT1171HVIT#PBF in its TO-220 package?
The LT1171HVIT#PBF in the T-package (5-lead plastic TO-220) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 75°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. With proper PCB copper area (≥1 sq. in. 2oz), actual θJA can improve to ~55°C/W, enabling 2.5A continuous operation at 70°C ambient.
How does the VC pin function in LT1171HVIT#PBF?
The VC pin on LT1171HVIT#PBF serves four functions: (1) error amplifier output for loop compensation, (2) current limit adjustment (0–2.5A via 1–2V clamp), (3) soft-start control (capacitor from VC to GND), and (4) shutdown trigger (pull <0.15V to enter 50µA mode). Its gm is 3000–4400 µmho across temperature.
Can LT1171HVIT#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes. The LT1171HVIT#PBF supports external synchronization from 120kHz to 160kHz by pulling the VC pin to ground with a narrow (<0.3µs) transistor pulse. This requires adding a sync transistor and timing capacitor (e.g., 39pF) per AN19 - enabling EMI reduction in noise-sensitive systems.
