Product details
Overview
LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-output, high-efficiency step-down DC/DC converter IC optimized for 5V output from 4V–18.5V input. It integrates a 0.9Ω P-channel MOSFET switch, supports pin-selectable 340mA/600mA current limit, delivers up to 94% efficiency at 300mA load, and features low-battery detection, micropower shutdown (1µA), and Burst Mode® operation for light-load efficiency. It is widely used in portable instruments and battery-powered equipment requiring stable 5V rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF pinout, LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF application, or LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 5V output, SO-8 package, 130µA standby current, internal current-sense architecture, and compatibility with standard Schottky catch diodes such as MBRS140T3 or 1N5818.
Technical Context
The LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF employs a constant off-time current-mode control architecture with an internal 1.25V reference and integrated P-channel power switch. Its operating frequency varies with input–output voltage differential (e.g., ~111kHz at VIN=9V, VOUT=5V), and it automatically transitions between continuous conduction mode and Burst Mode® to maintain high efficiency across load ranges from 20mA to 400mA.
It implements short-circuit protection via pin-selectable peak current limiting (340mA at IPGM = 0V; 600mA at IPGM = VIN), includes a dedicated low-battery comparator (trip point 1.25V on LBIN), and uses external resistive dividers only for adjustable versions - the LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF has factory-trimmed internal feedback for precise 5.00V ±2.5% regulation.

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8), RoHS-compliant, lead-free (#PBF), tape-and-reel (#TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated output / feedback node | Internal resistive divider sets fixed 5V; connects to output capacitor and load |
| LBOUT (Pin 2) | Low-battery indicator open-drain output | Sinks up to 1.2mA when LBIN < 1.25V; requires pull-up for LED/alert signaling |
| LBIN (Pin 3) | Low-battery comparator inverting input | Monitors input voltage via external resistor divider; trip threshold = 1.25V |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground reference | Return path for switch, feedback, and comparator circuits; must be low-impedance |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node (drain of internal P-MOSFET) | Connects directly to cathode of Schottky catch diode and inductor; high dI/dt node |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main input supply connection | Accepts 4–18.5V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic + bulk electrolytic decoupling |
| IPGM (Pin 7) | Current limit programming input | Logic-level select: 0V → 340mA limit; VIN → 600mA limit; must not float |
| SHUTDOWN (Pin 8) | Enable/disable control input | Active-low; <0.75V = shutdown (1µA IQ); >1.2V = active; high-impedance, requires pull-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode® operation | Maintains >85% efficiency down to 1mA load by disabling switching and entering ultra-low-power sleep state |
| Pin-selectable current limit | Enables optimization of inductor size and thermal performance for 340mA or 600mA max output |
| Integrated 0.9Ω P-MOSFET switch | Eliminates need for external high-side switch; reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| Only four external components required | Inductor, Schottky diode, input/output capacitors - minimal bill-of-materials for complete 5V supply |
| Low-battery detector with hysteresis | 1.25V threshold with 7.5–30mV hysteresis prevents chatter during battery sag; LBOUT drives LEDs or MCU interrupts |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Battery-Powered Data Loggers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Compact wearable sensor node powered by two AA alkaline cells (2.4–3.2V) stepped up to 5V for microcontroller and analog front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 5V power regulator; provides regulated rail for ADC, op-amps, and BLE radio during intermittent wake cycles. Use Value: 130µA sleep current extends battery life beyond 12 months; Burst Mode® ensures stable 5V even at µA-level sensor bias currents. | Use Scenario: Industrial environmental monitor using Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) or 9V battery, logging temperature/humidity every 10 minutes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main system power supply; powers MCU, flash memory, and serial interface during brief active periods. Use Value: Pin-selectable 600mA current limit supports fast flash writes; low-dropout behavior preserves runtime as battery discharges to 4V. |
| Handheld Test Equipment | Memory Backup Supply |
Use Scenario: Pocket-sized multimeter with LCD display, analog measurement circuitry, and USB charging input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generates clean 5V rail from variable input (USB 5V or battery 6–9V) for display driver and precision references. Use Value: 94% peak efficiency minimizes heat in sealed enclosure; internal switch eliminates external FET footprint and gate-drive complexity. | Use Scenario: SRAM backup in embedded controller where main 5V rail may fail during brownout or power interruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby power source that activates when main supply drops below 4.75V, sustaining SRAM contents. Use Value: Low-battery detector (LBIN/LBOUT) triggers controlled save-to-flash before backup engages; 1µA shutdown current prevents battery drain during long-term storage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1931ES5#TRMPBF | Fixed 5V output, 1.2MHz constant-frequency PWM, higher quiescent current (1.1mA), no Burst Mode® | Better EMI control due to fixed frequency; less suitable for ultra-low-power sleep modes | Select when predictable switching frequency and lower output ripple are prioritized over standby current |
| TPS62231DRYR | 3MHz synchronous buck, 95% efficiency, 22µA quiescent current, but requires external compensation and lacks low-battery detection | No integrated battery monitoring; designed for high-density portable apps with tight PCB area constraints | Select when board space is critical and low-battery alert functionality is handled externally |
Compared with LT1931ES5#TRMPBF and TPS62231DRYR, the LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF uniquely combines micropower Burst Mode®, integrated low-battery detection, and minimal external component count - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-life-critical applications where simplicity and ultra-low IQ outweigh fixed-frequency EMI requirements.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF over temperature?
The LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF guarantees a regulated output voltage of 4.75V to 5.25V (±2.5%) across its full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C for the 'C' grade). This specification is explicitly confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VOUT Regulated Output Voltage" for LTC1174-5, with the ● symbol indicating full-temperature-range applicability.
Can LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF operate from a 3.6V lithium-ion cell?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF is 4V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Typical Performance Characteristics. A 3.6V Li-ion cell falls below this threshold and will not enable regulation. For single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), consider the LTC1174HVCS8-5#TRPBF variant, which supports 4V–18.5V input and is explicitly rated for wider VIN range.
How does the IPGM pin affect inductor selection for LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF?
The IPGM pin sets peak switch current (340mA or 600mA), directly determining minimum inductance value to avoid saturation. At 600mA limit, a 50µH inductor (e.g., Coiltronics CTX50-4) suffices for 350mA loads; at 340mA, a 100µH unit (CTX100-4) is recommended to maintain continuous conduction and reduce ripple. Inductor RMS current rating must exceed IPEAK/√2.
Is LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF suitable for negative output (inverting) configurations?
Yes - though LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF is optimized for positive step-down, its architecture supports inverting topologies. Figure 5 in the datasheet shows LTC1174HV-5 generating –5V; for LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF, use VIN ≥ 6V and ensure SW-to-GND voltage remains within –0.3V to VIN–13.5V limits. Output current capability is reduced due to duty-cycle constraints.
What is the purpose of the LBIN and LBOUT pins on LTC1174CS8-5#TRPBF?
LBIN (Pin 3) is the inverting input of an internal comparator referenced to 1.25V; connecting it to a resistor divider from VIN allows programmable low-battery detection. LBOUT (Pin 2) is an open-drain N-channel output that sinks up to 1.2mA when LBIN voltage drops below 1.25V - enabling direct LED drive or MCU interrupt signaling without additional transistors.
