Product details
Overview
LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage 500kHz monolithic buck switching regulator with integrated 4.5A NPN power switch, 32V maximum input voltage rating, fixed 5V output, and SO-8 package. It delivers up to 4.25A at 5V with cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, and 0.07Ω typical switch on-resistance. Used in battery-powered systems requiring compact, efficient DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF application, or LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed application use cases, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for 5V buck conversion in industrial and portable systems.
Technical Context
The LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using an internal 500kHz oscillator and dual feedback loops - one for output voltage regulation via the SENSE pin (5.0V ±1.2%), another for cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (4.5A typical). Its bipolar NPN switch uses BOOST-pin-driven saturation to achieve low conduction loss (0.07Ω), enabling >89% efficiency at 5V/2A with VIN = 10V.
It features undervoltage lockout (2.38V on SHDN), micropower shutdown (20µA), and optional synchronization (580kHz–1MHz range via SYNC pin). The BIAS pin supports efficiency optimization by sourcing internal bias current from the regulated output when VOUT ≥ 3.3V, reducing VIN supply current by >10% at VIN = 20V/VOUT = 5V/IOUT = 25mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 32V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive inputs; minimum start-up voltage is 5.5V. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.2% - eliminates external feedback resistors; SENSE pin connects directly to output for precision regulation. |
| Switch Current Limit | 4.5A typical - sets absolute maximum load capability; derates to 3.7A at 80% duty cycle due to slope compensation. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz ±8% - enables use of small 5µH inductors (vs. 10–20µH at 100kHz); reduces EMI fundamental but increases switching loss. |
| Efficiency @ 5V/2A | 89% typical with VIN = 10V - achieved via BOOST-driven switch saturation and BIAS pin optimization; drops to ~82% at VIN = 25V. |
| Shutdown Current | 20µA max - ensures ultra-low quiescent drain during system sleep; triggered by SHDN pin < 0.4V. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activated at TJ = 125°C - protects device under overload or poor PCB heatsinking; auto-recovery after cooldown. |
Pinout & Package
LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO-8 package (S8) with fused ground pin (FGND) for improved thermal performance (θJA = 80°C/W with FGND connected to ground plane). Exposed pad not present - standard SO-8 footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input power collector | Connects to input source (6–32V); powers internal circuitry; requires local 100µF solid tantalum bypass close to pin. |
| BOOST | Switch drive boost node | Drives internal NPN base above VIN via external capacitor/diode; must be ≥VIN + 2.3V to ensure full switch saturation. |
| FGND | Fused ground reference | Primary GND connection; must be soldered to large copper area for thermal and noise control; referenced by SENSE and VC. |
| VSW | Switch emitter output | Drives inductor; swings from ~0V to VIN during operation; requires catch diode (e.g., MBRS330T3) tied to GND. |
| VC | Error amplifier output | Controls peak switch current; used for loop compensation (capacitor/resistor from VC to FGND); clamps at 2.1V. |
| BIAS | Internal bias supply input | Accepts external 3–7V (e.g., VOUT) to reduce VIN current draw; improves efficiency at high VIN/light loads. |
| SYNC | Oscillator synchronization input | Logic-level input (1.5–2.2V threshold); accepts 580kHz–1MHz external clock; replaces SHDN function on -SYNC variants. |
| SENSE | Output voltage sense input | Replaces FB pin on fixed-output versions; connected directly to 5V output; regulates to 5.0V ±1.2% (4.94–5.06V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage input support | 32V max VIN enables direct operation from 24V industrial rails or 28V avionics buses without pre-regulation. |
| Integrated 4.5A NPN switch | Eliminates external MOSFET and driver; reduces BOM count and layout complexity while maintaining 0.07Ω RON. |
| Current-mode control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and fast transient response without external compensation components. |
| BOOST-driven saturation | Reduces switch VCE(sat) to ~0.3V at 4.5A, improving efficiency over conventional bipolar designs by >14 percentage points. |
| BIAS pin efficiency boost | Shifts internal bias current from VIN to VOUT, cutting total supply current by >10% at VIN = 20V/VOUT = 5V/IOUT = 25mA. |

|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3605EDE#TRPBF | 4A synchronous buck, 3.6–36V input, 5V fixed, 95% efficiency, 2.25MHz switching, QFN-12 package. | Higher efficiency and frequency enable smaller magnetics; no BOOST pin or BIAS option; requires external MOSFET gate drivers. | Choose for space-constrained designs needing >90% efficiency and minimal inductor size; avoid if BOOST-based saturation or BIAS-driven efficiency gain is required. |
| MP2338GJ-Z | 4A synchronous buck, 4.5–36V input, 5V fixed, 93% efficiency, 500kHz, TSOT23-8 package; no BIAS or SYNC pins. | Smaller footprint and lower cost; lacks BIAS pin for efficiency tuning and SYNC for EMI reduction; no thermal shutdown flag. | Choose for cost-sensitive, high-volume consumer applications where BIAS optimization and precise synchronization are unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC3605EDE#TRPBF and MP2338GJ-Z, the LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF uniquely combines high-voltage tolerance (32V), BOOST-driven bipolar saturation for ruggedness, BIAS pin flexibility, and proven thermal protection - making it preferred for industrial and automotive environments where reliability trumps raw efficiency or miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF?
The LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF has a maximum input voltage rating of 32V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This distinguishes it from the standard LT1374 (25V max) and enables direct operation from 24V industrial rails or automotive load-dump conditions. Operation beyond 32V risks permanent damage; the BOOST pin voltage must also remain ≤38V.
Does the LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF does not require external feedback resistors because it is the fixed 5V output variant (-5 suffix). Its SENSE pin is internally connected to a precision 2.42V reference and calibrated divider, regulating output to 5.0V ±1.2%. External resistors are only needed for adjustable-output versions like LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF-ADJ.
How does the BOOST pin function in the LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF?
The BOOST pin on the LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF supplies elevated base drive to the internal NPN power switch, enabling saturation and minimizing VCE(sat). It must be biased ≥2.3V above VIN via an external capacitor and diode (e.g., CMDSH3). Without proper BOOST voltage, switch conduction loss rises sharply, degrading efficiency from >89% to ~75%.
Can the LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF supports synchronization via its SYNC pin, which accepts logic-level signals from 580kHz to 1MHz with 10–90% duty cycle. This feature allows EMI reduction through frequency alignment and avoids beat frequencies in multi-rail systems. Note: the standard LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF includes SYNC; -SYNC variants replace SHDN with SYNC functionality.
What thermal protection features does the LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF include?
The LT1374HVCS8#TRPBF integrates full-cycle thermal shutdown that activates at TJ = 125°C and automatically recovers once junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold. It also includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (4.5A typical) and undervoltage lockout (2.38V on SHDN) to prevent operation under unsafe bias conditions - all critical for reliability in enclosed or high-ambient-temperature deployments.
