Product details
Overview
LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, current-mode step-down DC/DC converter IC with integrated 0.9Ω P-channel MOSFET switch, optimized for 4V–18.5V input to fixed 3.3V output at up to 175mA load. It features pin-selectable current limit (340mA/600mA), 130µA standby current, low-battery detection, and operates in Burst Mode® for light-load efficiency. Used in portable instruments and battery-powered equipment requiring stable low-noise 3.3V rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF datasheet, LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF pinout, LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF application, or LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4V–18.5V), regulated output tolerance (±5%), peak switch current rating (0.6A), thermal performance (θJA = 150°C/W), and compatibility with standard surface-mount inductors and Schottky catch diodes.
Technical Context
The LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF employs a constant off-time architecture with internal 1.25V reference and fixed resistive feedback divider, enabling stable regulation without external compensation. Its switching frequency varies with input-output differential (e.g., ~111kHz at VIN=9V, VOUT=3.3V), and it automatically transitions between continuous conduction mode and Burst Mode® to maintain high efficiency across 1mA–175mA loads.
It integrates low-battery detection via LBIN/LBOUT pins (trip point 1.25V ±0.15V), active-low micropower shutdown (2µA max), and short-circuit protection with programmable current limit. The HV variant extends absolute maximum input voltage to 18.5V versus 13.5V for standard LTC1174, supporting wider industrial and automotive input ranges.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF?
The LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 18.5V on the VIN pin, distinguishing it from the standard LTC1174 (13.5V max). This HV rating allows reliable operation across wider battery chemistries and unregulated industrial supplies, provided the SW pin voltage remains within VIN – 18.5V limits per datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF require external feedback resistors to set the 3.3V output?
No, the LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF does not require external feedback resistors. It integrates a precision internal resistive divider that fixes the output voltage at 3.30V ±4.7%, eliminating external components and simplifying design. Only the adjustable version (LTC1174HVCS8) uses external resistors on the VFB pin.
How does the low-battery detection function work on the LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF?
The LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF implements low-battery detection using an internal 1.25V reference comparator. An external resistor divider applied to LBIN (Pin 3) scales the input voltage; when this scaled voltage drops below 1.25V, LBOUT (Pin 2) pulls low to sink up to 1.5mA, signaling battery depletion to an external load or microcontroller.
What is the purpose of the IPGM pin on the LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF?
The IPGM pin (Pin 7) on the LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF selects the peak inductor current limit: tying IPGM to GND sets the limit to 340mA, while tying it to VIN sets it to 600mA. This allows designers to optimize for either lower ripple/noise (340mA) or higher output current capability (600mA) without changing the IC or layout.
Can the LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF be used in inverting (negative output) configurations?
Yes, the LTC1174HVCS8-3.3#PBF can be configured as an inverting converter to generate –3.3V. The datasheet provides reference schematics (e.g., Figure 1174 TA07) showing proper connection of the inductor, Schottky diode, and output capacitor. Input voltage headroom must account for the absolute maximum ratings of the SW pin relative to VIN in this topology.
