Product details
Overview
LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, constant off-time current-mode step-down switching regulator controller driving an external P-channel MOSFET to deliver a regulated 3.3V output. It operates from 3.5V to 16V input, supports up to 2A load current with ≤65mV load regulation, and achieves >95% efficiency at mid-load with Burst Mode™ operation for ultra-low quiescent current (160µA in sleep mode). It is used in portable instrumentation and battery-powered digital systems requiring compact, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF datasheet, LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF pinout, LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF application, or LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V fixed output, 8-pin SO package, 125mV current sense threshold range, 5µs typical off-time, and compatibility with external P-channel MOSFETs such as Si4431DY for low-RDS(ON) operation.
Technical Context
The LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF implements a constant off-time current-mode architecture with internal 1.25V reference and built-in gain amplifier, enabling fast line/load transient response and stable regulation across wide input (3.5V–16V) and output current (0–2A) ranges. Its SENSE+ and SENSE− pins monitor differential voltage across an external sense resistor to control peak inductor current.
Burst Mode™ operation automatically engages below ~300mA load, reducing switching losses and holding quiescent current at 160µA while maintaining regulation via output capacitor discharge. The SHDN pin provides logic-controlled micropower shutdown (<20µA), and PDRIVE delivers high-current gate drive (VIN-to-GND swing) compatible with standard- and logic-level P-MOSFETs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3% (3.23V–3.43V at 700mA load); enables direct replacement of LDOs in noise-sensitive 3.3V logic rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 16V (absolute max 16V); supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-derived supplies. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 25mV to 150mV (typ. 125mV); sets peak inductor current via external RSENSE, enabling precise IMAX tuning (e.g., 0.05Ω → ~2.5A peak). |
| Off-Time | 3.8µs to 6.5µs (typ. 5µs at CT=390pF); determines minimum on-time and dropout behavior-enables 100% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout operation. |
| Quiescent Current | 160µA (sleep mode), <20µA (shutdown); reduces standby power to ~2mW at VIN=10V, critical for battery life in always-on devices. |
| Efficiency | >95% at 1A load (VIN=6V→3.3V); achieved via low-loss current-mode control, minimal gate drive loss, and optimized Burst Mode timing. |
| Package | 8-lead SO (S8); RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable, θJA=150°C/W, suitable for compact PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (S8), 150°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant lead finish (#PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Main supply input | Accepts 3.5V–16V; requires local 100µF + 0.1µF ceramic decoupling to minimize switching noise injection. |
| CT (Pin 2) | Timing capacitor connection | Sets operating frequency via external capacitor (e.g., 390pF → ~400kHz); discharge current scales with VOUT for stable off-time. |
| ITH (Pin 3) | Gain amplifier decoupling | Stabilizes current comparator threshold; connect 100nF ceramic to GND to suppress high-frequency oscillation. |
| SENSE− (Pin 4) | Current sense reference / feedback divider tap | Internal resistive divider node; connects to output rail to set 3.3V regulation; also (−) input of current comparator. |
| SENSE+ (Pin 5) | Current sense input | (+) input of current comparator; senses voltage across external RSENSE to limit peak inductor current. |
| SHDN/VFB (Pin 6) | Shutdown control / feedback reference | Logic-level input: <0.8V = normal operation, >2V = shutdown (<20µA IQ); not used as feedback in fixed-output variants. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Analog and power ground | Must be split: one path to COUT(−), second to Schottky cathode/CIN(−) to prevent ground bounce and EMI. |
| PDRIVE (Pin 8) | High-current P-MOSFET gate driver | Swings from VIN to GND; drives gate capacitance directly-requires low-inductance layout and no series resistor for Si4431DY. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant off-time current-mode control | Delivers stable regulation and excellent transient response without external compensation; inherently limits peak current and simplifies loop design. |
| Burst Mode™ operation | Reduces switching losses at light loads, maintaining >85% efficiency down to 1mA while holding IQ at 160µA-critical for battery runtime. |
| 100% duty cycle capability | Enables ultra-low dropout operation (VOUT ≈ VIN) when input approaches output, eliminating need for separate LDO post-regulation. |
| Logic-compatible shutdown | CMOS-level SHDN pin (0.5–2V threshold) allows direct interface with microcontrollers or PMICs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Short-circuit protection | Automatically extends off-time during overload, limiting average short-circuit current to ~IMAX and preventing thermal runaway. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1147CS8-3.3 | Same architecture and pinout, but rated for 0°C to 70°C (commercial temp) vs. –40°C to 85°C (industrial) for LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF. | Suitable for indoor consumer electronics; not qualified for extended-temperature industrial or automotive use. | Select LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF for designs requiring guaranteed operation at –40°C or 85°C ambient. |
| LT3502AEDD-3.3#PBF | Monolithic 3.3V buck regulator (integrated MOSFETs), 3.3V/600mA output, 2.7–25V input, no external P-MOS required. | Lower BOM count and board area, but limited to 600mA and lacks 100% duty cycle or Burst Mode efficiency at ultra-light loads. | Choose LT3502AEDD-3.3#PBF only if output current ≤600mA and integration outweighs efficiency/thermal flexibility needs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF?
The LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF itself does not source output current-it controls an external P-channel MOSFET. With appropriate external components (e.g., Si4431DY, 50µH inductor, 0.05Ω sense resistor), the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF-based converter reliably delivers 2A continuous output current while maintaining regulation and thermal safety under 85°C ambient conditions.
Does the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF uses constant off-time current-mode control and does not require external loop compensation. Stability is inherent to the architecture-only the CT capacitor (e.g., 390pF), ITH bypass capacitor (100nF), and proper PCB grounding are needed for reliable operation per the recommended layout in the datasheet.
Can the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF operate with a 3.0V input supply?
No-the absolute minimum input voltage for the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF is 3.5V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 3.5V may result in regulation loss, erratic Burst Mode behavior, or failure to initiate switching. For sub-3.5V inputs, consider the LTC1147L variant or alternative architectures.
How does the SHDN pin function on the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF?
On the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF, Pin 6 (SHDN/VFB) serves exclusively as a logic-controlled shutdown input. Pulling it below 0.5V enables normal operation; pulling it above 2.0V places the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF into micropower shutdown (<20µA IQ). It is not used for feedback-unlike the adjustable LTC1147L variants-and must never be left floating.
What is the purpose of the ITH pin (Pin 3) on the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF?
The ITH pin (Pin 3) on the LTC1147HVCS8-3.3#PBF is the gain amplifier decoupling point. It sets the current comparator threshold voltage in proportion to its voltage level. A 100nF ceramic capacitor from ITH to GND stabilizes the gain stage, suppresses high-frequency noise coupling into the current sense path, and prevents false triggering during fast load transients.
