Product details
Overview
LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, constant off-time current-mode step-down switching regulator controller designed to drive an external P-channel MOSFET. It delivers a fixed 3.3V output with ±3% regulation over 5mA–2A load, supports 3.5V–16V input, achieves >95% efficiency at full load, and features Burst Mode™ operation for 160µA light-load quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF pinout, LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF application, or LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF equivalent, this controller enables compact, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in battery-powered portable systems where low standby power, wide VIN range, and stable light-load performance are critical.
Technical Context
The LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF implements a constant off-time (COT) current-mode architecture with internal 1.25V reference and programmable current-sense threshold (25–150mV). Its CT pin sets switching frequency via external capacitor, while ITH adjusts current-comparator threshold dynamically to track load transients.
Burst Mode™ operation disables switching when output voltage exceeds regulation, reducing IQ to 160µA; shutdown draws <20µA. The device supports 100% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout and includes short-circuit protection via extended off-time during overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3% (3.23–3.43V at 700mA), enabling direct replacement of LDOs in 3.3V logic rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 16V - supports single-cell Li-ion (4.2V), dual-cell NiMH (3.0V min), and 12V industrial rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 160µA in Burst Mode™ - sustains >100-hour runtime on 200mAh coin cell at light load. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 25mV to 150mV - allows RSENSE selection from 0.05Ω to 0.15Ω for IMAX = 0.67A–3A. |
| Shutdown Current | <20µA at VSHDN ≥ 0.8V - ensures negligible battery drain in system sleep states. |
| Off-Time | 3.8–6.5µs (CT = 390pF) - determines minimum on-time and dropout behavior; scales with VOUT. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C (Commercial grade) - validated for notebook, GPS, and handheld instrument environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8), surface-mount, θJA = 150°C/W, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (#TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Main power input | Accepts 3.5–16V; requires local 100µF + 0.1µF ceramic decoupling to minimize noise and supply sag. |
| CT (Pin 2) | Timing capacitor connection | Sets switching frequency; discharge current proportional to VOUT enables VIN-tracking frequency stability. |
| ITH (Pin 3) | Current comparator threshold control | Voltage applied here raises current trip point - used for dynamic load transient optimization. |
| SENSE– (Pin 4) | Inverting current sense input | Internal resistive divider sets 3.3V feedback; also (–) input of current comparator for peak-current limiting. |
| SENSE+ (Pin 5) | Non-inverting current sense input | (+) input of current comparator; offset vs. Pin 4 defines 25–150mV trip window across RSENSE. |
| SHDN/VFB (Pin 6) | Shutdown control / feedback | Logic-level input: <0.8V = normal operation; >0.8V = micropower shutdown (<20µA); not used as VFB in fixed-3.3V version. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Analog & power ground | Two independent ground paths required: one to COUT (–) and one to diode cathode/CIN (–) to prevent noise coupling. |
| PDRIVE (Pin 8) | High-current P-MOSFET gate driver | Swings rail-to-rail (VIN to GND); drives >29nC gate charge at <200ns transition time - compatible with Si4431DY, etc. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant off-time current-mode control | Delivers fast line/load transient response without external compensation; maintains stable ripple current across input and load variations. |
| Burst Mode™ operation | Reduces IQ to 160µA at light loads while maintaining tight output regulation - eliminates need for external enable sequencing in battery systems. |
| 100% duty-cycle capability | Enables dropout <100mV at full load by holding P-MOSFET fully on - supports operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + RDS(ON)·ILOAD. |
| Short-circuit protection | Automatically extends off-time during overload to limit average short-circuit current to ~IMAX - prevents thermal runaway without latch-off. |
| Logic-compatible shutdown | CMOS-level SHDN pin (0.5–2V threshold) allows direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs - no pull-up or level-shifting required. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3502AEDD-3.3#TRPBF | Integrated 3.3V buck regulator (no external FET); 3.3V ±1.5% accuracy; 2.5–36V input; 1.2MHz fixed frequency. | Eliminates external MOSFET/diode but limits max current to 1.2A and increases solution size due to integrated switch losses. | Select when board space is constrained and 1.2A output suffices; avoid when >2A or ultra-low IQ (<100µA) is required. |
| TPS54202DDCR | Integrated 3.3V synchronous buck (2A); 4.5–28V input; 500kHz–2.5MHz adjustable frequency; 25µA shutdown IQ. | Higher integration reduces BOM count but lacks Burst Mode™ - light-load efficiency drops below 85% at <10mA. | Select for cost-sensitive, medium-efficiency apps with stable 5–24V input; avoid for battery systems requiring sub-100µA standby. |
Compared with LT3502AEDD-3.3#TRPBF and TPS54202DDCR, the LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF offers superior light-load efficiency via Burst Mode™ and higher output current capability using optimized external FETs, at the cost of added design complexity and component count.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF?
The LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF itself does not deliver output current - it controls an external P-channel MOSFET. With proper selection of RSENSE (e.g., 0.05Ω), inductor, and MOSFET (e.g., Si4431DY), the LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF-based converter reliably delivers up to 2A continuous output current while maintaining regulation and thermal safety.
Does the LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No, the LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF uses a constant off-time current-mode architecture that is inherently stable and does not require external loop compensation. The standard Figure 1 application circuit - with specified CT, RSENSE, L, CIN, and COUT - provides adequate phase margin across all operating conditions without added RC networks.
Can the LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF be used with a 3.0V input supply?
No - the LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF has a minimum input voltage of 3.5V per datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. For 3.0V operation, the LTC1147LCS8-3.3 (L-version) is specified down to 3.5V, and true sub-3.5V designs require alternative controllers such as the LTC3642 or TPS62130.
How does Burst Mode™ operation affect output voltage ripple on the LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF?
In Burst Mode™, the LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF stops switching when VOUT reaches regulation, causing output voltage to decay slowly until hysteresis triggers the next burst. This results in low-frequency (1–10kHz) ripple of ≤50mVP-P at zero load - acceptable for most digital logic but may require additional LC filtering for sensitive analog circuits.
Is the LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC1147 family?
Yes - all LTC1147 variants (e.g., LTC1147CS8-5, LTC1147LCS8-3.3) share identical 8-pin SO packaging and pinout. However, functional differences exist: Pin 6 serves as SHDN on fixed-output versions like LTC1147CS8-3.3#TRPBF but as VFB on adjustable LTC1147L variants, requiring schematic review before substitution.
