Product details
Overview
LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, low-quiescent-current step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 1.4Ω P-channel MOSFET switch, fixed 3.3V output, and 8-lead MSOP package. It delivers up to 250mA output current, achieves >92% peak efficiency at 5V input, draws only 10µA no-load supply current, and supports 4V–18V input range - ideal for battery-powered portable instrumentation and wireless modems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF pinout, LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF application, or LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V fixed output accuracy (±2%), 10µA quiescent current, 100% duty-cycle low-dropout capability, programmable current limit (325–400mA), and active-low shutdown with 6µA IQ.
Technical Context
The LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF uses Burst Mode™ operation to maintain regulation while minimizing idle current: it alternates short switching bursts (with 4.75µs off-time) and deep-sleep cycles where only the 1.23V reference, voltage comparator, and low-battery detector remain active. Its internal current comparator monitors switch current via an integrated 5Ω sense resistor (plus optional external RSENSE) and trips at 100mV threshold.
Unlike the LTC1475 variant, the LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF implements logic-controlled shutdown via the RUN pin (0.4–1.0V threshold), not pushbutton on/off. The low-battery detector (LBI/LBO) remains fully functional during shutdown, with 1.16–1.27V trip threshold and open-drain LBO output capable of sinking 0.45–0.70mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.300V ±2% (3.234–3.366V); internally trimmed resistive divider referenced to 1.23V bandgap |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 18V; supports single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline/NiMH, and industrial 12V rails |
| No-Load Supply Current | 10µA typical; enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 6µA typical; maintains ultra-low power state while preserving LBI comparator functionality |
| Peak Switch Current | 325–400mA (RSENSE = 0Ω); sets maximum inductor current for short-circuit protection and light-load optimization |
| Switch On-Resistance | 1.4Ω typical at VIN = 10V; determines conduction loss and thermal rise under full load |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.230V ±2.0%; stable bandgap reference used for output regulation and low-battery detection |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (3mm × 3mm, 0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT/VFB (Pin 1) | Output voltage feedback node | Internally connected to 3.3V output divider; provides regulated 1.23V reference point for error amplifier |
| LBO (Pin 2) | Low-battery open-drain output | Sinks up to 0.7mA when LBI < 1.23V; drives LED or microcontroller interrupt without pull-up |
| LBI (Pin 3) | Low-battery input comparator | Monitors external voltage divider; remains active in shutdown to enable battery monitoring during standby |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground reference | Common return for switch, feedback, and comparator circuits; must be low-impedance connection |
| SW (Pin 5) | Drain of internal P-MOSFET switch | Connects directly to cathode of external Schottky diode; carries pulsed inductor current up to 400mA |
| SENSE (Pin 6) | Current sense input | Inputs voltage across internal + optional external sense resistor; triggers current limit at 100mV |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Main input supply | Accepts 4–18V; powers internal circuitry and supplies gate drive for P-MOSFET switch |
| RUN (Pin 8) | Active-low shutdown control | Pulled low (≤0.4V) to disable regulator; open/high (>0.7V) enables operation; 0.4–1.0V hysteresis prevents chatter |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ operation | Maintains regulation at light loads with 10µA IQ by alternating microsecond-scale bursts and µA-level sleep cycles |
| 100% duty-cycle capability | Enables dropout as low as VIN – VOUT ≈ 0V; sustains output even when input sags near 3.3V |
| Integrated low-battery detector | Operates independently in shutdown; provides early warning before system brownout using same 1.23V reference |
| Programmable current limit | Adjustable from 325mA to <10mA via external RSENSE; optimizes inductor size and ripple for specific load |
| Logic-compatible shutdown | RUN pin accepts standard CMOS/TTL levels; eliminates need for external level-shifting or pull-up networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3675EFE-3.3#PBF | Higher 600mA output, 2.5V–5.5V input, 22µA IQ, 16-pin TSSOP; includes I²C interface and multiple rails | Targeted at multi-rail PMIC systems, not single-output simplicity | Choose when needing programmable sequencing or dual outputs; avoid if minimizing BOM count is critical |
| TPS62231DRYR | 3.3V fixed, 2.05–6.5V input, 17µA IQ, 2.2MHz switching, 6-pin WSON; no LBI/LBO or programmable current limit | Lacks battery monitoring and adjustable current limiting; optimized for compact footprint over feature set | Prefer for space-constrained designs where low-noise 2.2MHz operation matters more than shutdown intelligence |
Compared with LTC3675EFE-3.3#PBF and TPS62231DRYR, the LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF uniquely balances ultra-low quiescent current (10µA), integrated battery monitoring (LBI/LBO), and simple logic-controlled shutdown - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, long-life, single-rail battery systems where feature integration reduces component count.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF?
The LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF guarantees a 3.3V output within ±2% (3.234V to 3.366V) at 50mA load and TA = 25°C, with full-temperature-range specification over 0°C to 70°C. This accuracy is achieved via laser-trimmed internal feedback resistors referenced to a precision 1.23V bandgap.
Does LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and what is its practical dropout voltage?
Yes, the LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation, allowing it to sustain regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT. At 250mA load, measured dropout is typically <200mV (e.g., 3.5V input yields stable 3.3V output), enabling reliable operation as battery voltage declines near end-of-life.
How does the current limit function on LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF, and can it be adjusted?
The LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF uses an internal current comparator that trips at 100mV across its integrated 5Ω sense element plus any external RSENSE between SENSE and VIN pins. With RSENSE = 0Ω (pins 6–7 shorted), peak current is 325–400mA; adding RSENSE lowers the trip point linearly - e.g., 1.1Ω yields ~70–85mA - enabling precise optimization for low-noise or low-power designs.
Is the low-battery detector in LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF operational during shutdown mode?
Yes, the low-battery detector (LBI/LBO) remains fully active during shutdown mode of the LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF. The 1.23V reference and comparator continue drawing only ~1µA, allowing continuous battery voltage monitoring and LBO assertion (sink current) even when the main regulator is disabled via the RUN pin.
What is the maximum recommended operating junction temperature for LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF, and how is thermal performance characterized?
The absolute maximum junction temperature for LTC1474CMS8-3.3#TRPBF is 125°C. Its MS8 package has θJA = 150°C/W (JEDEC-standard PCB layout). At 250mA output and 12V input, typical power dissipation is ~350mW, resulting in ~52°C junction rise above ambient - well within safe margin for commercial-grade operation.
