Product details
Overview
LT1176CSW-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1A monolithic bipolar step-down switching regulator with preset 5V output, 100kHz fixed switching frequency, and 8mA quiescent current, operating from 8V to 35V input in buck configuration - used in onboard DC/DC conversion for industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1176CSW-5#PBF datasheet, LT1176CSW-5#PBF pinout, LT1176CSW-5#PBF application, or LT1176CSW-5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5V fixed output, 20-pin SO package thermal performance (θJA = 50°C/W), micropower shutdown mode, and compatibility with low-loss powdered iron or Kool Mµ inductors in compact 5V buck designs.
Technical Context
The LT1176CSW-5#PBF implements a classic positive buck topology enhanced by an on-chip analog multiplier in the feedback loop, enabling near-instantaneous response to input voltage transients and input-independent loop gain. Its switch output is rated to swing below ground, supporting inverting and negative-boost configurations.
It features pulse-by-pulse current limiting (1.2A peak switch current), internal 100kHz oscillator (no external timing components required), and a dedicated STATUS pin with ±5% output voltage monitoring window - all integrated into a single 20-pin plastic SOL package with four GND pins for improved thermal and noise performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Preset 5V ±0.5% over full load/temperature range - eliminates external resistor divider and improves regulation stability. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 100kHz - enables predictable EMI filtering and use of standard low-cost magnetics without frequency tuning. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 35V - supports wide industrial input rails including 12V, 24V, and 28V systems with margin. |
| Quiescent Current | 8mA typical - minimizes no-load power loss in always-on subsystems like control logic or sensors. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 50°C/W - enables higher continuous output current vs. DIP version (90°C/W) when mounted with standard PCB copper area. |
| Shutdown Current | 140µA max - ensures ultra-low standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Status Accuracy | ±5% output window - provides reliable fault detection without external comparators or precision resistors. |
Pinout & Package
LT1176CSW-5#PBF is housed in a 20-lead plastic small-outline (SO) package (SW), 0.300-inch wide body, with exposed thermal pad not electrically connected. Four dedicated GND pins (pins 4, 5, 6, 7) reduce ground impedance and improve thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Main input supply connection | Accepts 8V–35V unregulated DC; requires local ceramic bypass capacitor for high-frequency stability. |
| ILIM (Pin 3) | Current limit programming | Open-circuit configures 1.2A peak switch current; optional resistor sets alternate limit per datasheet equation. |
| GND (Pins 4,5,6,7) | Power and signal reference | Four independent ground terminals minimize voltage drop and improve thermal conduction to PCB plane. |
| FB/SENSE (Pin 9) | Feedback input | Internally tied to 5V reference; no external divider needed - simplifies layout and improves accuracy. |
| VSW (Pin 11) | Switch node output | Drives external inductor; swings below ground in inverting modes - requires Schottky catch diode or synchronous rectifier. |
| VC (Pin 13) | Control voltage output | Provides error amplifier output for loop compensation; connects to RC network for stability tuning. |
| STATUS (Pin 18) | Output voltage monitor | Open-collector output asserts low when VOUT deviates >±5%; pulls up via external resistor for logic-level interface. |
| SHUTDOWN (Pin 19) | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (>2.45V) disables regulator and reduces IQ to 140µA; compatible with microcontroller GPIO. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True analog multiplier feedback | Eliminates input-voltage-dependent loop gain variation, ensuring consistent transient response across 8–35V input range. |
| Pulse-by-pulse current limiting | Prevents destructive overcurrent during short-circuit or overload events without external sensing components. |
| Micropower shutdown mode | Reduces total supply current to ≤140µA, enabling long-term battery operation in standby states. |
| Switch output below ground capability | Enables direct implementation of positive-to-negative and negative-boost topologies without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Dedicated STATUS pin with ±5% window | Provides system-level fault indication without adding comparator ICs or precision resistors. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the LT1176CSW-5#PBF?
The LT1176CSW-5#PBF supports up to 0.8A continuous output current under typical conditions (VIN = 20V, VOUT = 5V, TA = 25°C, with adequate PCB copper). Its 1.2A peak switch current rating and 50°C/W thermal resistance allow this output level without forced air or heatsinking - verified in the efficiency graph (Figure TA02) and Application Hints section.
Does the LT1176CSW-5#PBF require external feedback resistors to set the 5V output?
No, the LT1176CSW-5#PBF does not require external feedback resistors. It integrates an internal 5V reference and connects FB/SENSE (Pin 9) directly to that reference - confirmed in the block diagram (Figure BD) and Electrical Characteristics table where "Sense Voltage" is specified as 5V ±0.5%. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors and layout sensitivity.
Can the LT1176CSW-5#PBF be used in a positive-to-negative converter configuration?
Yes, the LT1176CSW-5#PBF can be used in a positive-to-negative converter configuration. The datasheet explicitly states that "the switch output is specified to swing below ground" and lists "Positive-to-Negative Converter" under Applications. This capability is enabled by its bipolar process and internal architecture - not dependent on external pin strapping or mode selection.
What is the purpose of the STATUS pin on the LT1176CSW-5#PBF?
The STATUS pin on the LT1176CSW-5#PBF is an open-collector output that signals when the regulated 5V output deviates beyond ±5% of nominal - documented in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Status Window". It sinks up to 1.6mA and is intended for system-level fault monitoring, such as triggering MCU interrupts or disabling downstream circuitry during undervoltage/overvoltage events.
Is the LT1176CSW-5#PBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LT1176CSW-5#PBF is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "#PBF" suffix denotes lead-free finish per Linear Technology's marking convention, confirmed in the Order Information table which specifies "LEAD FREE FINISH" for all #PBF variants. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 and is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
