Product details
Overview
LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, current-mode step-down and inverting DC/DC converter IC with integrated 0.9Ω P-channel MOSFET switch, pin-selectable 340mA/600mA current limit, and wide 4V–18.5V input range. It delivers regulated 5V output (fixed version), achieves up to 94% efficiency at 300mA load, and supports low-battery detection for portable instrumentation and memory backup supply.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its HV-rated input voltage capability, micropower shutdown (2µA), burst-mode operation for light-load efficiency, and compatibility with standard surface-mount inductors and Schottky catch diodes in compact SO-8 layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF implements a constant off-time (COT) current-mode control architecture with internal timing capacitor trimming, enabling input-voltage-dependent switching frequency (≈42–111kHz). Its feedback loop uses a 1.25V reference and compares divided output voltage against this threshold via an internal comparator.
It integrates a low-battery detector with 1.25V trip point and hysteresis (7.5–30mV), open-drain LBOUT pin, and pin-selectable peak current limit (via IPGM = VIN or GND). The device transitions automatically between continuous conduction mode and Burst Mode® to maintain high efficiency across 10mA–400mA load range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 18.5V - Supports wide battery input (e.g., 4×NiCd or Li-ion stacks) without external regulators. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±2.5% - Regulated output suitable for logic rails and analog subsystems requiring stable 5V supply. |
| Peak Switch Current | 600mA (IPGM = VIN) or 340mA (IPGM = GND) - Enables optimization of inductor size and thermal design per application load. |
| Efficiency | Up to 94% at 300mA - Minimizes power loss and heat generation in space-constrained portable designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 130µA active / 2µA shutdown - Extends battery life in always-on or sleep-mode systems like memory backup. |
| Switch RDS(ON) | 0.9Ω typical at VIN = 9V - Reduces conduction loss and improves light-load regulation without external FET. |
| Operating Frequency | 42–111kHz (VIN-dependent) - Enables use of small, low-cost surface-mount inductors (e.g., 50–100µH) with minimal EMI filtering. |
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) | Feedback input / regulated output sense | Connects to internal resistive divider for fixed 5V output; used as VFB node in adjustable configurations. |
| LBOUT (Pin 2) | Open-drain low-battery indicator output | Sinks up to 1.5mA when LBIN falls below 1.25V; requires external pull-up for LED or MCU interrupt signaling. |
| LBIN (Pin 3) | Inverting input of low-battery comparator | Accepts resistor-divider from VIN to set trip point (e.g., 5.5V); draws only 0.5µA bias current. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground reference | Common return path for switch, feedback, and comparator circuits; must be low-impedance for stability. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Drain of internal P-channel MOSFET | Connects directly to cathode of external Schottky catch diode; handles peak inductor current and switching transients. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main input supply connection | Accepts 4–18.5V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic + bulk electrolytic decoupling to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| IPGM (Pin 7) | Current limit selection input | Logic-level input: tie to VIN for 600mA limit, or to GND for 340mA limit; high-impedance, must not float. |
| SHUTDOWN (Pin 8) | Active-low enable control | Pull to GND for <2µA shutdown; leave at VIN or use ≥1.2V logic high for normal operation; no floating allowed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.9Ω P-channel MOSFET switch | Eliminates need for external high-side switch, reducing BOM count and PCB area in buck/inverting topologies. |
| Pin-selectable current limit (340mA / 600mA) | Allows single footprint to support multiple output current requirements without layout change. |
| Burst Mode® operation | Maintains >85% efficiency down to 10mA load by disabling switching and entering micropower sleep state. |
| Low-battery detector with hysteresis | Provides reliable undervoltage warning using only two external resistors; 7.5–30mV hysteresis prevents chatter near trip point. |
| Only four external components required | Enables complete 5V buck converter with inductor, Schottky diode, input cap, and output cap - ideal for rapid prototyping. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1174HVCS8-5#TRPBF | Same HV rating (4–18.5V), but commercial temp grade (0°C to 70°C) vs. industrial (–40°C to 85°C) | Lacks extended temperature qualification; unsuitable for automotive or outdoor industrial deployments | Select only if operating ambient stays within 0°C–70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs reliability margin |
| MAX738AESA+ | Pin-compatible buck controller with 2.5–16.5V input, but requires external MOSFET and lacks integrated low-battery detector | No LBIN/LBOUT functionality; needs additional comparator circuitry for battery monitoring | Choose when higher output current (>600mA) or custom FET selection is required, accepting added component count |
Compared with LTC1174HVCS8-5#TRPBF and MAX738AESA+, the LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF provides guaranteed industrial temperature operation, integrated low-battery detection, and lower system-level BOM count - making it optimal for ruggedized portable equipment where reliability and integration are prioritized over marginal cost savings.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 18.5V on the VIN pin. This HV rating distinguishes it from the standard LTC1174 (13.5V max) and enables direct operation from 12V systems or stacked battery packs without pre-regulation. Operation beyond 18.5V risks permanent damage.
Does the LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF support adjustable output voltages?
No - the LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF is the fixed 5V output variant. Adjustable output requires the base LTC1174 part (without suffix), which uses external resistors on the VOUT/VFB pin to set output voltage. The "-5" suffix in LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF denotes factory-trimmed 5V regulation with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature.
How does the IPGM pin affect current limiting in the LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF?
The IPGM pin selects the peak inductor current limit: tying IPGM to VIN sets the limit to 600mA, while tying it to GND sets it to 340mA. This adjustment changes the internal current comparator threshold and directly impacts inductor sizing, thermal performance, and short-circuit response - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under IPEAK parameter.
Can the LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF be used in inverting (positive-to-negative) configurations?
Yes - the LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF supports inverting operation by reconfiguring the output reference point. As shown in Typical Application TA06, connecting the load between GND and VOUT yields –5V output. The HV rating ensures safe operation when VIN exceeds |VOUT|, and the internal switch remains functional in this topology.
What is the purpose of the LBIN and LBOUT pins on the LTC1174HVIS8#TRPBF?
The LBIN pin is the inverting input of an internal comparator referenced to 1.25V; applying a resistor divider from VIN to LBIN sets the low-battery trip voltage. When LBIN falls below 1.25V, LBOUT (an open-drain N-channel output) pulls low to signal battery depletion - enabling MCU interrupts or LED indicators without additional components.
