Product details
Overview
LTC1147CS8-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, constant off-time current-mode step-down switching regulator controller that drives an external P-channel MOSFET to deliver up to 2A output current at 5V with input range 3.5V–16V, 95% peak efficiency, and 160µA light-load quiescent current. It enables compact, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in battery-powered portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1147CS8-5#PBF datasheet, LTC1147CS8-5#PBF pinout, LTC1147CS8-5#PBF application, or LTC1147CS8-5#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5V fixed output, 8-pin SO package, Burst Mode™ operation for micropower efficiency, 130–170mV current sense threshold, and compatibility with external P-channel MOSFETs and Schottky diodes in non-synchronous buck topologies.
Technical Context
The LTC1147CS8-5#PBF implements a constant off-time (COT) current-mode architecture where the off-time is set by an external capacitor on CT (Pin 2) and dynamically adjusted based on VOUT to maintain stable frequency across input voltage changes. Its internal voltage comparator controls Burst Mode™ entry/exit using output voltage hysteresis, while a dedicated current comparator monitors SENSE+ and SENSE− (Pins 5 and 4) to regulate peak inductor current via external RSENSE.
It features logic-controlled micropower shutdown (IQ < 20µA), 100% duty cycle low-dropout operation, short-circuit protection via extended tOFF, and built-in offset in the gain stage to prevent current-loop interference during Burst Mode™. The SHDN/VFB pin (Pin 6) serves as shutdown control for fixed-output variants like LTC1147CS8-5#PBF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.05V nominal (4.90–5.20V over load/temp), enabling direct regulation for 5V logic rails without feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 16V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery systems including 5V, 9V, and 12V supplies. |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous - determined by external RSENSE (e.g., 0.05Ω) and MOSFET capability, not limited by IC itself. |
| Quiescent Current | 160–260µA in Sleep Mode - sustains >95% efficiency down to ~1mA load via automatic Burst Mode™ activation. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 125–185mV (typ. 150mV) between SENSE+ and SENSE− - sets peak inductor current and defines IMAX = 150mV/RSENSE. |
| Off-Time | 3.8–6.5µs (CT = 390pF, ILOAD = 700mA) - determines minimum switching frequency and dropout behavior. |
| Shutdown Current | 10–22µA - enables ultra-low-power system sleep states with externally controlled CMOS-level SHDN signal. |
| Operating Temp Range | 0°C to 70°C (Commercial grade) - validated for use in notebook, GPS, and portable instrumentation environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SOIC-8), 150°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, surface-mount compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Main power supply input | Accepts 3.5V–16V; requires local 100µF + 1µF ceramic decoupling to GND (Pin 7) to suppress switching noise. |
| CT (Pin 2) | Timing capacitor connection | Sets off-time and operating frequency; value (e.g., 390pF) scales inversely with fSW and tracks VOUT for stability. |
| ITH (Pin 3) | Gain amplifier decoupling | Stabilizes current comparator threshold; connect 100nF ceramic to GND to reduce noise sensitivity. |
| SENSE− (Pin 4) | Current comparator (−) input & internal voltage divider tap | Connects to output rail via internal resistor; forms differential pair with SENSE+ to detect RSENSE voltage drop. |
| SENSE+ (Pin 5) | Current comparator (+) input | Connected across external RSENSE; 25–185mV offset vs. SENSE− sets current trip point for MOSFET turn-off. |
| SHDN/VFB (Pin 6) | Shutdown control / feedback reference | Grounded for normal operation; pulled high (>0.8V) to enter micropower shutdown (IQ < 22µA); not used as feedback in fixed-5V variant. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Analog and power ground return | Must be split: one path to COUT (–) and another to diode cathode/CIN (–) to avoid ground bounce in high di/dt paths. |
| PDRIVE (Pin 8) | High-current P-MOSFET gate driver | Swings from VIN to GND; delivers >1A peak current to drive external P-channel MOSFET with fast 100–200ns transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ operation | Reduces IQ to 160µA and maintains >90% efficiency at loads below 300mA by disabling switching until output droops beyond hysteresis band. |
| Constant off-time current mode | Provides inherent line/load transient immunity and stable operation without loop compensation components; frequency varies <±20% over VIN range. |
| Logic-compatible shutdown | CMOS-level SHDN input (0.5–2V threshold) enables seamless integration with microcontroller GPIOs for system-level power sequencing. |
| 100% duty cycle low-dropout | Supports VOUT ≈ VIN operation when (VIN – VOUT) < 1.5V - eliminates need for LDO post-regulation in near-dropout conditions. |
| Short-circuit protection | Extends off-time during overload to limit average short-circuit current to ~IMAX, preventing thermal runaway without external circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1170CN8-5 | Fixed 5V output, 100kHz fixed-frequency voltage-mode control, higher IQ (6mA), no Burst Mode™ | Less efficient at light loads; suitable only where simplicity outweighs efficiency needs | Choose LT1170CN8-5 only if board space allows larger inductor and thermal budget permits higher idle dissipation. |
| TPS54202DDAR | Integrated 2A synchronous buck converter (no external MOSFET), 4.5–28V input, 500kHz PWM, 25µA IQ in Eco-mode | Higher integration reduces BOM count but eliminates P-MOSFET flexibility and 100% duty cycle capability | Select TPS54202DDAR when minimizing external components is critical and input voltage exceeds 4.5V; avoid if <3.5V start-up or true dropout operation required. |
Compared with LT1170CN8-5, LTC1147CS8-5#PBF delivers >30% lower light-load power and superior transient response via current-mode control; versus TPS54202DDAR, it offers wider VIN range, 100% duty cycle, and design flexibility at the cost of two external power devices.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 6 (SHDN/VFB) on the LTC1147CS8-5#PBF?
On the LTC1147CS8-5#PBF, Pin 6 functions exclusively as the shutdown (SHDN) control input. Grounding this pin enables normal operation; applying a logic-high voltage (>0.8V) places the LTC1147CS8-5#PBF into micropower shutdown mode with IQ < 22µA. Unlike adjustable variants (e.g., LTC1147L), this pin is not used for feedback in the fixed-5V LTC1147CS8-5#PBF.
Does the LTC1147CS8-5#PBF require an external P-channel MOSFET?
Yes, the LTC1147CS8-5#PBF is a controller-not a converter-and requires an external P-channel MOSFET (e.g., Si4431DY) connected to PDRIVE (Pin 8). It does not integrate power switches. This architecture allows optimization of RDS(ON), voltage rating, and thermal performance based on specific application requirements such as input voltage and output current.
What is the recommended value for RSENSE with the LTC1147CS8-5#PBF for a 2A output?
For a 2A maximum output current, RSENSE should be 0.05Ω - derived from ISC(PK) = 150mV / RSENSE and IBURST ≈ 15mV / RSENSE. This value ensures peak current limiting at ~3A and Burst Mode™ initiation near 300mA, aligning with typical application circuits shown in the LTC1147CS8-5#PBF datasheet Figure 1 and matching the 0.05Ω value used in the 5V/2A reference design.
Can the LTC1147CS8-5#PBF operate with input voltages below 3.5V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for the LTC1147CS8-5#PBF is 3.5V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 3.5V is not guaranteed and may result in failure to regulate or erratic Burst Mode™ behavior. For sub-3.5V applications, consider the LTC1147L series or alternative controllers rated for lower VIN.
How does the LTC1147CS8-5#PBF achieve high efficiency at light loads?
The LTC1147CS8-5#PBF achieves high light-load efficiency through automatic Burst Mode™ operation: when output current drops below ~300mA, it disables switching cycles entirely, reducing IQ to 160–260µA and cutting total input power to ~2mW at VIN = 10V. Regulation is maintained by discharging COUT until VOUT drops beyond hysteresis, then resuming a single switching cycle - minimizing switching and gate-drive losses.
