Product details
Overview
LTC1147LCS8-3.3#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 fixed 3.3V output. It operates from 3.5V to 16V input, achieves >95% efficiency at full load, maintains regulation down to 160µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, and supports 100% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout operation - ideal for battery-powered portable instrumentation and GPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF datasheet, LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF pinout, LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF application, or LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V fixed output voltage tolerance (±2.0%), programmable current sense threshold (125–185mV), 3.8–6.5µs off-time range, micropower shutdown (<20µA), and SO-8 package compatibility with ground-referenced RSENSE layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF implements a constant off-time current-mode architecture with internal 1.25V reference and built-in 25mV–150mV current sense comparator offset. Its CT pin controls switching frequency via external capacitor, while ITH pin enables dynamic current threshold adjustment for load transient optimization.
Burst Mode operation activates below ~15mV/RSENSE load current, reducing IQ to 160µA and enabling <2mW standby power at VIN = 10V. Short-circuit protection extends tOFF to limit peak inductor current, and 100% duty cycle operation ensures regulation even when VIN approaches VOUT + 0.3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2.0% (3.23–3.43V) at 700mA load - ensures stable logic supply for 3.3V microcontrollers and RF ICs |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 16V - supports single-cell Li-ion (4.2V), dual-cell NiMH (3.6V), and automotive 12V rail with headroom |
| Current Sense Threshold | 125–185mV - sets peak inductor current; determines max output current with RSENSE = 100mV/IMAX |
| Off-Time | 3.8–6.5µs (CT = 390pF, ILOAD = 700mA) - defines minimum switch-off duration and regulates frequency vs. VIN–VOUT |
| Quiescent Current | 160–260µA in Sleep Mode - enables multi-week battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 10–22µA - allows deep system sleep with logic-level SHDN control |
| Feedback Reference | 1.25V internal - used with internal divider for fixed 3.3V output; no external resistors required |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8), RoHS-compliant, θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Main power input | Accepts 3.5–16V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic + bulk decoupling; absolute max 16V |
| CT (Pin 2) | Timing capacitor node | Connects to ground via CT (e.g., 390pF); sets off-time and operating frequency |
| ITH (Pin 3) | Current threshold adjust | Voltage applied here scales current comparator threshold linearly for adaptive loop tuning |
| SENSE– (Pin 4) | Current sense negative input | Internal connection to output voltage divider; also (–) input of current comparator |
| SENSE+ (Pin 5) | Current sense positive input | (+) input of current comparator; forms 25–150mV offset with Pin 4 across RSENSE |
| SHDN/VFB (Pin 6) | Shutdown control / feedback | Logic-level input: <0.8V = normal, >2V = shutdown; not used as VFB in fixed-output LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF |
| GND (Pin 7) | Analog and power ground | Two independent ground paths required: one to COUT (–), one to diode cathode and CIN (–) |
| PDRIVE (Pin 8) | P-channel MOSFET gate driver | High-current output (VIN to GND swing); drives Si4431DY-class P-MOSFETs with 100–200ns transition times |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Burst Mode™ operation | Maintains >85% efficiency down to 0mA load by reducing switching losses and dropping IQ to 160µA |
| Constant off-time current-mode control | Delivers excellent line/load transient response and inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting without slope compensation |
| 100% duty cycle low-dropout capability | Regulates with VIN as low as VOUT + 0.3V (e.g., 3.6V → 3.3V), eliminating need for LDO post-regulation |
| Logic-controlled micropower shutdown | Reduces total system standby current to <22µA - critical for energy-harvesting and battery-backed applications |
| Short-circuit protected operation | Extends off-time during overload to limit ISC(PK) ≈ 150mV/RSENSE and prevent thermal runaway |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF?
The LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF supports a minimum input voltage of 3.5V, as specified for the LTC1147L series. This enables operation directly from two alkaline AA cells (3.2V fresh) or single-cell LiFePO₄ batteries. Operation below 3.5V is not guaranteed and may result in loss of regulation or Burst Mode instability. The device remains functional down to 3.5V across the full temperature range.
Does the LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF require external feedback resistors to set the 3.3V output?
No, the LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF does not require external feedback resistors. It integrates an internal resistive divider and 1.25V reference to deliver a factory-trimmed fixed 3.3V output. Pin 6 (SHDN/VFB) functions solely as a logic shutdown input in this variant - unlike the adjustable LTC1147L, which uses Pin 6 as the feedback node.
How does Burst Mode operation improve efficiency at light loads in the LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF?
Burst Mode in the LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF disables switching cycles when output voltage exceeds regulation, reducing average switching losses and lowering quiescent current to 160–260µA. This maintains >85% efficiency down to zero load, enabling multi-month battery life in always-on sensor applications - a key advantage over fixed-frequency controllers that waste energy pulsing at low current.
What is the purpose of the ITH pin on the LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF?
The ITH (Current Threshold) pin on the LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF allows dynamic adjustment of the current comparator threshold voltage. Applying a voltage to ITH scales the 25–150mV sense window linearly, enabling adaptive current limiting during load transients or temperature drift compensation - critical for maintaining stability in high-precision portable power systems.
Can the LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF drive a logic-level P-channel MOSFET?
Yes, the LTC1147LCS8-3.3#PBF can drive logic-level P-channel MOSFETs, but only when VIN remains above the MOSFET's absolute maximum VGS rating. For example, with a –12V VGS(max) MOSFET, VIN must stay ≤12V. Standard-threshold P-MOSFETs (VGS(TH) < –4V) are preferred for VIN > 8V applications to avoid gate overstress and ensure robust turn-on margin.
