Product details
Overview
LTC1174HVIS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, current-mode step-down and inverting DC/DC converter IC with internal 0.9Ω P-channel MOSFET switch, pin-selectable 340mA/600mA current limit, 4V–18.5V input range, and 130µA standby current. It delivers regulated 5V output in fixed-output configuration and supports battery-powered portable instruments, memory backup supplies, and distributed power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1174HVIS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1174HVIS8#PBF pinout, LTC1174HVIS8#PBF application, or LTC1174HVIS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include wide VIN range (4V–18.5V), low-dropout operation, active-low micropower shutdown (1µA), integrated low-battery detector (1.25V trip), and compatibility with standard surface-mount inductors and Schottky catch diodes.
Technical Context
The LTC1174HVIS8#PBF uses a constant off-time current-mode architecture with wafer-sort-trimmed 4µs switch off-time, enabling frequency variation with input–output voltage differential. Its control loop automatically transitions between continuous conduction mode and Burst Mode® for light-load efficiency optimization.
Output regulation is achieved via a 1.25V internal reference compared against feedback voltage from an internal resistive divider (fixed 5V version). The low-battery comparator monitors VIN through external resistor network at LBIN (Pin 3), sinking current at LBOUT (Pin 2) when input drops below 1.25V threshold with 7.5–30mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 18.5V - supports wide-input battery and industrial supply rails without external pre-regulation |
| VOUT | 5.00V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed fixed output eliminates external feedback resistors |
| IPEAK Limit | 340mA (IPGM = 0V) or 600mA (IPGM = VIN) - selectable overcurrent protection prevents inductor saturation |
| Efficiency | Up to 94% at 300mA - enables thermally constrained portable designs with minimal heatsinking |
| Quiescent Current | 130µA active / 1µA shutdown - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Switch RON | 0.9Ω typical at VIN = 9V - reduces conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current step-down paths |
| Operating Frequency | ~42kHz to ~111kHz - varies with VIN–VOUT; enables use of compact 50–100µH surface-mount inductors |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (S8), RoHS-compliant, lead-free (#PBF), 150°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated output voltage node / feedback input | Fixed 5V output terminal; internally connected to precision resistive divider - no external resistor required |
| LBOUT (Pin 2) | Open-drain N-channel pull-down output | Sinks up to 1.2mA when LBIN falls below 1.25V; drives LED or microcontroller interrupt for battery alert |
| LBIN (Pin 3) | Inverting input of low-battery comparator | Accepts external resistive divider from VIN; sets trip point at 1.25V reference with 7.5–30mV hysteresis |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground reference | Common return path for switch, feedback, and comparator circuits; must be low-impedance PCB plane |
| SW (Pin 5) | Drain of internal P-channel MOSFET switch | Connects directly to cathode of Schottky catch diode and inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main input supply connection | Accepts 4–18.5V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic + bulk electrolytic decoupling per layout guidelines |
| IPGM (Pin 7) | Current limit programming input | Logic-level select: tie to GND for 340mA limit, tie to VIN for 600mA limit - determines peak inductor current |
| SHUTDOWN (Pin 8) | Active-low enable control | Pull to GND for <1µA shutdown; float or pull to VIN for normal operation; high-impedance input |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.9Ω P-channel MOSFET | Eliminates external high-side switch and gate driver; reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| 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 single-footprint design across 340mA and 600mA output requirements without layout change |
| Low-battery detection with hysteresis | Provides reliable undervoltage warning with 7.5–30mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during battery sag |
| Only four external components required | Inductor, Schottky diode, input capacitor, output capacitor - simplifies qualification and reduces cost |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1931IS8#PBF | Higher 1.25MHz fixed-frequency operation; 300mA max output; no low-battery detector | Requires smaller inductor but lacks VIN monitoring; less suitable for battery-state-aware systems | Choose LT1931IS8#PBF when board space is critical and battery monitoring is handled externally |
| TPS61040DRVR | Boost-only topology; 28V output capability; 0.5A switch; no inverting mode | Cannot generate negative voltages; optimized for low-input boost (e.g., single-cell Li-ion to 3.3V) | Choose TPS61040DRVR only for boost applications where negative rail generation is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1174HVIS8#PBF?
The LTC1174HVIS8#PBF has an absolute maximum input supply voltage (VIN) of 18.5V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This HV variant supports wider input ranges than standard LTC1174 versions (13.5V max), making it suitable for 12V automotive or industrial supply rails with transient headroom. Operation above 18.5V risks permanent damage.
Does the LTC1174HVIS8#PBF require external feedback resistors to set the 5V output?
No, the LTC1174HVIS8#PBF does not require external feedback resistors. It is the fixed 5V output variant (LTC1174HV-5) with an internal precision resistive divider connected to the VOUT (Pin 1) terminal. The output is factory-trimmed to 5.00V ±2.5% across temperature and load, eliminating external resistor placement and tolerance concerns.
How does the low-battery detection function work on the LTC1174HVIS8#PBF?
The LTC1174HVIS8#PBF implements low-battery detection using an internal 1.25V reference compared against a voltage divider connected to LBIN (Pin 3). When the divided VIN drops below 1.25V, LBOUT (Pin 2) sinks up to 1.2mA to signal undervoltage. Hysteresis (7.5–30mV) prevents oscillation during battery sag. The LTC1174HVIS8#PBF's LBOUT remains indeterminate during shutdown.
Can the LTC1174HVIS8#PBF be used in inverting (positive-to-negative) configurations?
Yes, the LTC1174HVIS8#PBF supports inverting operation to generate negative outputs such as –5V. In this configuration, the output is taken from the GND pin while VIN connects to what becomes the negative rail. The LTC1174HVIS8#PBF's wide 4–18.5V input range and internal switch enable robust –5V generation from 5V or 9V sources, as validated in Typical Application TA06.
What is the purpose of the IPGM pin on the LTC1174HVIS8#PBF?
The IPGM (Pin 7) on the LTC1174HVIS8#PBF selects the peak inductor current limit: tying IPGM to GND sets IPEAK = 340mA, while tying it to VIN sets IPEAK = 600mA. This pin enables a single PCB layout to support two output current levels without redesign, optimizing efficiency across light and heavy load conditions in the same application.
