Product details
Overview
LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF 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. It delivers regulated 5V output up to 2A with input voltage range 3.5V–16V, 95% peak efficiency, 160µA light-load quiescent current, and micropower shutdown (<20µA). It is used in portable battery-powered systems requiring compact, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF pinout, LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF application, or LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 5V output, 8-pin SOIC package, Burst Mode™ operation for ultra-low IQ, programmable current sense threshold (25–170mV), and compatibility with external P-MOSFETs like Si4431DY.
Technical Context
The LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF implements a constant off-time (COT) current-mode architecture where switching frequency varies inversely with input voltage, and off-time is set by an external CT capacitor (e.g., 470pF yields ~400kHz at VIN=10V). Its internal gain block and voltage comparator regulate output via SENSE–/SENSE+ differential sensing across RSENSE, while ITH pin enables dynamic current threshold scaling.
Burst Mode™ operation activates below ~300mA load, disabling switching and reducing IQ to 160µA; shutdown reduces IQ further to <20µA. The device supports 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation and includes short-circuit protection via extended tOFF during overload, limiting average short-circuit current to ~IMAX.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.05V (typ) at 700mA load; ±100mV line/load regulation ensures stable rail under varying input and load conditions. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 16V; supports wide battery and industrial supply rails including 5V, 9V, and 12V nominal sources. |
| Quiescent Current | 160µA (sleep mode), <20µA (shutdown); enables multi-day battery life in always-on portable instruments. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 25mV to 170mV (adjustable via RSENSE); sets peak inductor current and maximum output (e.g., RSENSE = 0.05Ω → IMAX ≈ 2A). |
| Off-Time | 4–6.5µs (CT = 390pF, ILOAD = 700mA); determines minimum on-time and dropout behavior; scales with VOUT to maintain COT stability. |
| Efficiency | ≥95% at 1A (VIN = 10V); sustained over three decades of load (0.001A–2A) due to Burst Mode™ and low gate drive losses. |
| Shutdown Threshold | 0.5–2.0V on SHDN pin; compatible with standard CMOS logic; requires tr/tf < 1µs to prevent false triggering. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8), RoHS-compliant, θJA = 150°C/W, rated for –40°C to +85°C operating ambient temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Main power input | Accepts 3.5V–16V; must be decoupled with ≥100µF low-ESR capacitor close to pin and GND. |
| CT (Pin 2) | Timing capacitor connection | Sets off-time and operating frequency; discharge current proportional to VOUT enables COT behavior. |
| ITH (Pin 3) | Current threshold control | Voltage applied here scales current comparator threshold linearly-used for adaptive current limiting. |
| SENSE– (Pin 4) | Inverting current sense input | Connects to internal resistive divider; also serves as (–) input to current comparator for RSENSE monitoring. |
| SENSE+ (Pin 5) | Non-inverting current sense input | (+) input to current comparator; built-in 25–150mV offset with Pin 4 sets trip point for inductor peak current. |
| SHDN/VFB (Pin 6) | Shutdown control / feedback reference | Logic-level input: <0.5V = normal operation, >2V = shutdown; on LTC1147-5, not used as feedback (fixed 5V). |
| GND (Pin 7) | Analog and power ground | Two independent ground paths required: one to COUT (–) and one to diode cathode/CIN (–) to minimize noise coupling. |
| PDRIVE (Pin 8) | High-current P-MOSFET gate driver | Swings from VIN to GND; drives external P-channel MOSFET (e.g., Si4431DY) with 100–200ns transition times. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant off-time current-mode control | Enables fast transient response, inherent stability without loop compensation, and natural dropout behavior (100% duty cycle). |
| Automatic Burst Mode™ operation | Reduces IQ to 160µA at light loads and eliminates switching losses-critical for battery runtime in standby states. |
| Logic-controlled micropower shutdown | IQ < 20µA in shutdown; allows system-level power gating with no external circuitry or leakage concerns. |
| Short-circuit protection | Extends off-time during overload to limit average short-circuit current to IMAX, preventing thermal runaway. |
| Wide input voltage range (3.5V–16V) | Supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), dual-cell alkaline (2.4–3.6V with boost), and 5V/12V industrial rails without external regulators. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1148CS8-5#PBF | Higher peak efficiency (>96%), lower IQ (120µA sleep), integrated soft-start; same pinout and 5V fixed output. | Better suited for noise-sensitive RF applications due to reduced switching jitter and tighter VOUT tolerance (±1%). | Select when higher precision, lower EMI, or longer battery life is prioritized over cost sensitivity. |
| TPS54202DRCT | Integrated 2A N-MOSFET; 4.5–17V input; 5V adjustable via resistor divider; no Burst Mode, uses D-CAP2 control. | Reduces BOM count but lacks micropower sleep (<100µA only in EN = low); less suitable for sub-100µA always-on nodes. | Choose for simplified layout and higher integration where IQ >100µA is acceptable and external MOSFET is undesirable. |
Compared with LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF, LTC1148CS8-5#PBF offers superior light-load efficiency and tighter regulation but at higher unit cost; TPS54202DRCT eliminates external MOSFET and gate drive complexity but sacrifices ultra-low-IQ operation and true micropower shutdown capability.

FAQ
What is the function of the ITH pin on the LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF?
The ITH pin on the LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF controls the current comparator threshold voltage. Applying a voltage to this pin linearly scales the 25–170mV sense threshold, enabling adaptive current limiting or dynamic load matching. In standard fixed-output configurations, it is typically bypassed to GND via a small capacitor for noise immunity.
Can the LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF operate with an input voltage below 3.5V?
No-the LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF has a specified minimum input voltage of 3.5V. Operation below this level is not guaranteed and may result in loss of regulation, failure to start, or erratic Burst Mode™ behavior. For sub-3.5V applications, consider the LTC1147L variant or alternative controllers such as the LTC3642.
Does the LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No-the LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF uses constant off-time current-mode control, which provides inherent loop stability without external compensation networks. The application circuit in the datasheet (Figure 1) operates reliably with only the recommended RSENSE, CT, L, CIN, and COUT components.
What is the maximum output current supported by the LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF?
The LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF supports up to 2A output current when paired with a suitable external P-channel MOSFET (e.g., Si4431DY), 50µH inductor, and 0.05Ω current sense resistor. Peak current is limited by RSENSE value and thermal design; IMAX ≈ 100mV / RSENSE provides a practical design margin.
How does Burst Mode™ operation affect output voltage ripple on the LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF?
In Burst Mode™, the LTC1147IS8-5#TRPBF disables switching and supplies load current from COUT until VOUT drops by comparator hysteresis (~20–50mV), then delivers a short energy burst. This results in low-frequency, higher-amplitude ripple (typically ≤50mVP-P at ILOAD = 0A), distinct from high-frequency ripple in continuous mode.
