Product details
Overview
LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1A monolithic bipolar step-down switching regulator in 20-lead plastic SO package, preset to 5V output, operating from 8V–35V input, with 100kHz switching frequency and 8mA quiescent current. It serves as an onboard DC/DC buck converter for industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF pinout, LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF application, or LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection factors include its fixed 5V output, internal current limit of 1.2A (peak), micropower shutdown mode (<300µA), and compatibility with low-loss powdered iron or Kool Mµ inductors in compact layouts.
Technical Context
The LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF implements a classic positive buck topology enhanced with a true analog multiplier in the feedback loop, enabling near-instantaneous response to input voltage transients and input-voltage-independent loop gain. Its switch output is rated to swing below ground, supporting inverting and negative-boost configurations.
It integrates on-chip pulse-by-pulse current limiting (1.2A peak), self-boot capability enabling operation down to 5V input in inverting modes, and a dedicated STATUS pin with ±5% output voltage window monitoring. Thermal resistance is 50°C/W in the 20-lead SO package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±0.5% over line, load, and temperature - enables direct replacement of linear regulators without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 35V for buck operation; down to 5V in inverting/boost modes via self-boot - supports wide industrial input rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz typical - balances EMI control, inductor size, and efficiency for mid-power applications. |
| Peak Switch Current | 1.2A - defines maximum continuous output current capability before current-limit activation in standard buck configuration. |
| Quiescent Current | 7.5mA typical in normal mode; 140µA in micropower shutdown - extends battery life in standby-sensitive systems. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 50°C/W - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management at ≤0.8A continuous load. |
| Status Accuracy | ±5% output voltage window - provides reliable power-good signaling for microcontroller reset sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF is housed in a 20-lead plastic small-outline (SO) package, 0.300-inch wide body, with exposed thermal pad-compatible footprint per LTC DWG #05-08-1620. Pin 1 marked by notch or cavity; recommended solder pad layout includes 0.045" × 0.045" pads with 0.005" clearance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 8V–35V unregulated DC; must be decoupled with ≥470µF low-ESR capacitor near pin. |
| ILIM | Current limit programming | Open-circuit configures 1.2A peak switch current; optional resistor sets higher limit (e.g., 7kΩ → 1.7A). |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Four dedicated GND pins (pins 4,5,6,7) reduce ground impedance and improve noise immunity. |
| FB/SENSE | Feedback input | Internally tied to 5V reference; no external divider required - simplifies layout and improves stability. |
| VSW | Switch node output | Drives external inductor; swings below ground in inverting topologies - requires Schottky catch diode (e.g., 1N5819). |
| VC | Control voltage output | Provides error amplifier output; used for loop compensation with external RC network (C2=0.01µF, R3=2.7kΩ typical). |
| STATUS | Power-good indicator | Open-collector output active high when VOUT is within ±5%; sinks up to 1.6mA - drives LED or MCU interrupt directly. |
| SHUTDOWN | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (>2.45V) disables regulator and reduces IQ to <300µA; threshold tolerance ±0.25V ensures robust noise margin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True analog multiplier feedback | Eliminates input-voltage-dependent loop gain variation, enabling stable regulation across 8V–35V input range without compensation redesign. |
| Pulse-by-pulse current limiting | Prevents destructive overcurrent during short-circuit or overload events without external sensing components. |
| Self-boot capability | Enables operation from as low as 5V input in inverting or boost configurations - expands usable topology range beyond standard buck. |
| Integrated 5V reference | Removes need for external feedback resistors, reducing BOM count and improving long-term output accuracy vs. resistor drift. |
| Low thermal resistance package | 50°C/W θJA allows full 1A output in ambient up to 70°C with standard 2-layer PCB - avoids heatsinks in space-constrained designs. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3605EMSE-5#TRPBF | 2.5MHz synchronous buck, 3A output, integrated MOSFETs, 28µA IQ | Higher frequency enables smaller inductors/capacitors; requires different compensation network | Preferred for space-constrained designs needing >1A or ultra-low IQ; not pin-compatible. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF?
The LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF supports up to 0.8A continuous output current under typical conditions (TA = 70°C, 2-layer PCB, 50°C/W θJA). Its 1.2A peak switch current limit and thermal resistance allow brief 1A bursts, but sustained operation above 0.8A requires enhanced cooling. The LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF datasheet specifies 1A nominal rating with derating above 70°C ambient.
Does the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF require external feedback resistors to set the 5V output?
No, the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF has an internal 5V reference connected to the FB/SENSE pin, eliminating the need for external feedback resistors. This simplifies layout, improves long-term output accuracy, and reduces component count. The LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF is functionally distinct from the adjustable LT1176CSW version, which requires external resistive division.
Can the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF operate from a 5V input supply?
Yes - the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF supports 5V input in inverting or negative-boost configurations via its self-boot feature, though standard buck operation requires minimum 8V input. When used as a positive-to-negative converter (e.g., +5V in → –5V out), the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF starts reliably and maintains regulation down to 5V VIN, as confirmed in Linear Application Note 44.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF?
On the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF, the ILIM pin sets the peak switch current limit: open-circuit configures 1.2A, while connecting a resistor (e.g., 7kΩ) raises it to 1.7A. This pin allows safe adaptation to different inductor saturation currents and load fault margins without changing the IC. Unlike many regulators, the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF uses ILIM for hardware-based current limiting rather than software-configurable thresholds.
How does the STATUS pin on the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF function in system-level power monitoring?
The STATUS pin on the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF is an open-collector output that asserts high when the 5V output remains within ±5% of nominal (4.75V–5.25V). With 1.6mA sink capability and 30µs minimum pulse width, it directly drives microcontroller GPIOs or reset supervisors. This enables deterministic power-good sequencing in systems where the LT1176CSW-5#TRPBF powers critical logic blocks.
