Product details
Overview
LTC1147LCS8#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 regulated 3.3V output at up to 2A load current, supports 3.5V–14V input range, achieves >95% efficiency at mid-load, and features automatic Burst Mode™ operation for ultra-low 160µA standby current in light-load conditions-ideal for battery-powered portable instruments and GPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating parameters including 3.3V fixed output, 160µA sleep-mode current, 5µs typical off-time, and real-world alternative selection guidance for low-voltage DC-DC controller replacement.
Technical Context
The LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF 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–14V) and output current (0–2A) ranges. Its Burst Mode™ operation reduces quiescent current to 160µA while maintaining regulation via voltage-comparator–dominated control during light loads.
Pin 6 serves as VFB for output voltage feedback in the adjustable LTC1147L variant, but for LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF-the -3.3V fixed-output version-Pin 6 is the SHDN input with 0.8V typical threshold. The device uses Pin 4 (SENSE–) and Pin 5 (SENSE+) to monitor current-sense voltage across an external resistor, with a programmable threshold of 25mV to 150mV.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3%, tightly regulated across 5mA–2A load and 3.5V–14V input-enables direct replacement of LDOs in space-constrained 3.3V rail designs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 14V (16V absolute max)-supports single-cell Li-ion (4.2V), dual-cell NiMH (3.2V min), and automotive 12V systems with headroom. |
| Quiescent Current | 160µA in Sleep Mode (Burst Mode active), <20µA in Shutdown-extends battery life in always-on portable instrumentation. |
| Off-Time | 5µs typical (CT = 390pF, ILOAD = 700mA)-sets minimum switch-off duration to maintain constant ripple current and enable dropout-free operation. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 25mV to 150mV differential across RSENSE-defines peak inductor current limit and enables precise IMAX setting (e.g., 0.05Ω → 3A peak). |
| Efficiency | >95% at 1A, VIN = 6V; >90% maintained from 10mA to 2A-achieved via low-loss P-channel gate drive and minimized switching losses in Burst Mode. |
| Shutdown Threshold | 0.8V typical on Pin 6 (SHDN)-allows clean logic-level disable using standard CMOS outputs without pull-up resistors. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SO (Small Outline), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount, θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Main power supply input | Accepts 3.5V–14V; requires local 100µF + 1µF ceramic decoupling to minimize noise and voltage sag during high di/dt switching. |
| 2 - CT | Timing capacitor connection | Sets off-time and operating frequency; 390pF yields ~500kHz at VIN = 10V, VOUT = 3.3V-critical for ripple and EMI control. |
| 3 - ITH | Gain amplifier decoupling point | Connects to 100kΩ/5pF RC network to stabilize current loop; voltage here modulates current comparator threshold. |
| 4 - SENSE– | Inverting current sense & internal voltage divider tap | Internally connected to output voltage divider; also (–) input of current comparator-must be routed with low-inductance ground path. |
| 5 - SENSE+ | Non-inverting current sense input | (+) input of current comparator; forms 25–150mV threshold window with Pin 4 to set peak inductor current. |
| 6 - SHDN/VFB | Shutdown control / feedback select | For LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF: logic-level shutdown input (0.8V threshold); not used as feedback-fixed 3.3V output is internally set. |
| 7 - GND | Analog and power ground reference | Two independent ground traces required: one to COUT (–), one to Schottky cathode and CIN (–)-prevents noise coupling into sensing nodes. |
| 8 - PDRIVE | High-current P-MOSFET gate driver | Swings from VIN to GND; drives external Si4431DY or similar P-channel MOSFET with 100–200ns transition times-minimizes switching loss. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Burst Mode™ operation | Maintains regulation at light loads (<300mA) with only 160µA supply current-eliminates need for external enable sequencing in battery-critical apps. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3630EMS8E#TRPBF | Monolithic 3.3V buck converter (integrated MOSFET), 4.5V–55V input, 100mA output-no external FET required but lower current capability. | Suitable for low-power, space-constrained designs where board area > current requirement; lacks Burst Mode™ efficiency at <10mA. | Select if PCB area is critical and load ≤100mA; avoid for 2A applications requiring external P-FET flexibility. |
| TPS54202DDCR | Integrated 3.3V buck (2A), 4.5V–28V input, 500kHz fixed frequency-uses voltage-mode control, no Burst Mode™, higher 45µA IQ in shutdown. | Better EMI predictability due to fixed frequency; less efficient below 50mA than LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF's Burst Mode™. | Prefer for noise-sensitive analog systems needing deterministic switching; not optimal for battery life-critical ultra-light loads. |
Compared with LTC3630EMS8E#TRPBF and TPS54202DDCR, the LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF offers superior light-load efficiency via Burst Mode™ and full 2A capability with optimized external P-FET selection-making it the preferred choice for high-flexibility, battery-sensitive 3.3V step-down controller applications.

FAQ
What is the output voltage configuration of the LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF is a fixed 3.3V output version of the LTC1147L family. Unlike the adjustable LTC1147L, it does not require external feedback resistors-its output is internally trimmed to 3.3V ±3% over temperature and load. This simplifies design for dedicated 3.3V rails in portable equipment where board space and BOM count are constrained.
Does the LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF support true shutdown with near-zero current draw?
Yes. When the SHDN pin (Pin 6) is pulled above 2V, the LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF enters shutdown mode with typical input current of 15µA at VIN = 10V. This is distinct from Burst Mode™ sleep (160µA), and fully disables gate drive, oscillator, and error amplifier-making it suitable for complete system power gating in battery-critical applications.
Can the LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF operate with input voltage as low as 3.5V while maintaining 3.3V output?
Yes. The LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF supports VIN down to 3.5V and features 100% duty cycle operation, allowing VOUT to track VIN closely-e.g., at VIN = 3.4V, VOUT remains regulated near 3.3V. This low dropout behavior eliminates the need for a separate LDO post-regulator in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline-powered systems.
What external components are mandatory for basic LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF operation?
Four components are mandatory: (1) RSENSE (e.g., 0.05Ω) to set peak current, (2) CT capacitor (e.g., 390pF) to set off-time/frequency, (3) external P-channel MOSFET (e.g., Si4431DY), and (4) Schottky diode (e.g., MBRD330). Input/output capacitors (CIN, COUT) and inductor (e.g., 50µH) are also required for functional operation and stability.
How does Burst Mode™ in the LTC1147LCS8#TRPBF improve battery life compared to standard PWM operation?
Burst Mode™ reduces switching activity at light loads, dropping quiescent current from 1.6mA (normal mode) to 160µA-cutting standby power by >90%. For a 2000mAh Li-ion battery powering a GPS module drawing 50µA average, this extends runtime from ~5 weeks to >2 years, directly enabling multi-year deployments in remote sensor nodes.
