Product details
Overview
LT1371HVIR#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-frequency current-mode switching regulator IC designed for boost, buck, flyback, inverting, and Cuk topologies. It integrates a 3A, 42V breakdown power switch, 500kHz oscillator, error amplifier with nonlinear transconductance, and shutdown/synchronization logic. It operates from 2.7V input and regulates positive or negative outputs - used in laptop DC-DC supplies and dual-output flyback converters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1371HVIR#TRPBF datasheet, LT1371HVIR#TRPBF pinout, LT1371HVIR#TRPBF application, or LT1371HVIR#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 42V switch rating, ±2.49V dual-reference architecture (FB/NFB), 12µA shutdown current, 500kHz fixed frequency, and TO-220-7 package thermal performance under industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C).
Technical Context
The LT1371HVIR#TRPBF implements current-mode control: switch duty cycle is set by comparing sensed switch current against a voltage-controlled threshold derived from the VC pin. This provides inherent line transient immunity, simplified loop compensation, and pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection.
It features dual feedback paths - FB pin referenced to +1.245V for positive outputs, NFB pin referenced to –2.49V for negative outputs - sharing one error amplifier core. Oscillator frequency shifts 5:1 during overload (FB < 0.6V), and adaptive anti-saturation circuitry minimizes switch turn-off delay and driver loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Breakdown Voltage | 42V - enables operation with up to 36V input rails or high-voltage boost stages without external clamping. |
| Switch Current Limit | 3.0A typical - sets maximum peak inductor current; limits fault energy in short-circuit or overload conditions. |
| Reference Voltage (FB) | +1.245V ±15mV - defines output regulation point for positive configurations; sets resistor divider ratio for precise VOUT. |
| Negative Reference (NFB) | –2.490V ±50mV - enables direct negative output regulation without external op-amps or level-shifting networks. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 4mA typical - supports low-power standby operation; reduces no-load losses in battery-powered systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 12µA typical - allows deep sleep mode; extends battery life in portable equipment during idle periods. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz ±50kHz - permits use of compact 4.7µH inductors; balances EMI, efficiency, and component size. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C junction - qualified for industrial environments; requires θJA ≤ 50°C/W mounting per TO-220-7 package. |
Pinout & Package
LT1371HVIR#TRPBF is housed in a 7-lead TO-220 package (T7) with exposed tab electrically connected to GND. Thermal resistance is θJA = 50°C/W (typical) and θJC = 4°C/W, requiring direct tab-to-ground-plane soldering or mechanical attachment for reliable power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply rail | Bypassed with ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor; enters undervoltage lockout below 2.5V. |
| S/S | Shutdown & Sync input | Logic-low (<0.6V) enables shutdown (12µA IQ); 600–800kHz AC signal synchronizes switching. |
| VSW | Switch collector node | Connects to inductor/diode; carries high di/dt current; requires shortest possible PCB trace. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | All GND pins and tab must connect to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise and thermal rise. |
| NFB | Negative feedback input | Accepts resistor divider from negative output; regulates at –2.49V; bias current ≈ –30µA. |
| FB | Positive feedback input | Accepts resistor divider from positive output; regulates at +1.245V; bias current ≤ 550nA. |
| VC | Error amplifier output | Used for compensation (RC network), soft-start (capacitive clamp), and current limit adjustment. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage switch | 42V breakdown rating - supports 36V input applications and high-ratio boost converters without external FETs. |
| Dual-reference regulation | +1.245V (FB) and –2.49V (NFB) references - enables single-chip positive/negative output regulation without auxiliary amplifiers. |
| Nonlinear error amplifier | Transconductance increases 10× when FB exceeds VREF by 40mV - suppresses output overshoot during startup and load recovery. |
| Oscillator frequency shift | 5:1 reduction when FB < 0.6V - lowers switching frequency during overload to maintain control and protect external components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3780EFE#PBF | 4-switch synchronous buck-boost controller; no integrated power switch; supports wider VIN (4V–36V) and higher efficiency (>95%). | Requires external MOSFETs and gate drivers; suited for high-current (>5A), high-efficiency applications where board space allows discrete FETs. | Select LTC3780EFE#PBF when efficiency >92% and output currents >4A are required; avoid if simplicity, low BOM count, or inverting capability are priorities. |
| LM5122MH/NOPB | Current-mode boost/buck-boost controller; 65V max VIN; no NFB pin or negative output support; 100kHz–1MHz programmable frequency. | Cannot regulate negative outputs natively; requires external op-amp for inverting configurations; better suited for high-input-voltage boost only. | Choose LM5122MH/NOPB for 24V–48V input boost designs needing programmable frequency and wide VIN range; not suitable for dual-polarity or low-quiescent applications. |
Compared with LTC3780EFE#PBF and LM5122MH/NOPB, LT1371HVIR#TRPBF uniquely integrates a 42V/3A switch and dual-reference feedback in a single TO-220 package, enabling compact inverting, flyback, and boost solutions without external FETs or level-shifting circuitry - critical for space-constrained industrial and portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT1371HVIR#TRPBF?
The LT1371HVIR#TRPBF supports a maximum supply voltage of 30V on the VIN pin. Its integrated power switch has a guaranteed 42V breakdown rating, allowing safe operation with input transients up to 42V and enabling high-ratio boost topologies where output exceeds input by large margins. This makes LT1371HVIR#TRPBF suitable for 24V industrial bus and 36V battery-derived applications.
How does the LT1371HVIR#TRPBF regulate negative output voltages?
The LT1371HVIR#TRPBF regulates negative outputs using its dedicated NFB pin, which references an internal –2.49V bandgap. A resistor divider connects from the negative output to NFB, while the FB pin remains open. The error amplifier drives FB to +1.245V, creating a virtual ground that forces regulation at the NFB-set voltage. This architecture avoids external op-amps and preserves the same compensation network used for positive outputs - a key feature of LT1371HVIR#TRPBF.
Can the LT1371HVIR#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LT1371HVIR#TRPBF supports external synchronization via its S/S pin. When operated in the TO-220-7 (T7) package, this pin serves dual functions: logic-level shutdown (active low) and synchronization input. Driving S/S with a 600kHz–800kHz square wave locks the internal oscillator to the external source. A 12µs resettable delay prevents false shutdown during sync pulses - a design-specific behavior confirmed in the LT1371HVIR#TRPBF datasheet timing diagrams.
What is the purpose of the VC pin on the LT1371HVIR#TRPBF?
The VC pin on the LT1371HVIR#TRPBF is the output of the error amplifier and serves three critical functions: (1) frequency compensation via an RC network to stabilize the control loop, (2) soft-start control using a capacitive clamp to limit inrush current, and (3) adjustable current limiting by externally clamping VC voltage. During normal operation, VC sits between 1.0V and 1.9V depending on load - a direct indicator of regulation status and switch duty cycle in LT1371HVIR#TRPBF.
Does the LT1371HVIR#TRPBF require special layout considerations?
Yes, LT1371HVIR#TRPBF demands careful PCB layout due to its high di/dt switching node (VSW). Critical practices include: keeping VSW-to-diode-to-output-capacitor traces as short as possible; connecting all GND pins and the TO-220 tab directly to a solid ground plane; placing input and output capacitors near their respective pins; and routing the FB and NFB feedback traces away from noisy nodes. These steps minimize EMI, prevent oscillation, and ensure stable regulation - all explicitly called out in the LT1371HVIR#TRPBF application notes.
