Product details
Overview
LTC1474CS8-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-output 5V, high-efficiency step-down DC/DC converter with internal P-channel MOSFET switch, 10µA typical no-load quiescent current, 1.4Ω typical switch RDS(ON), and 3V–18V input voltage range-designed for battery-powered portable instruments requiring stable 5V at up to 250mA.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1474CS8-5#PBF datasheet, LTC1474CS8-5#PBF pinout, LTC1474CS8-5#PBF application, or LTC1474CS8-5#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5V fixed output, 8-pin SO package, low shutdown current (6µA), programmable peak current limit (325–400mA), and integrated low-battery detector functional during shutdown.
Technical Context
The LTC1474CS8-5#PBF employs Burst Mode™ operation to maintain high efficiency across light-to-moderate loads, using a 1.23V internal reference and voltage-controlled hysteretic comparator to regulate output. Its current-mode control architecture incorporates a 100mV current-sense threshold and 4.75µs minimum off-time to manage inductor current decay.
It integrates a low-battery comparator (trip point: 1.23V ±7mV) with open-drain LBO output active in shutdown, and uses logic-level RUN pin control (0.4–1.0V threshold) for micropower shutdown-distinguishing it from the pushbutton-controlled LTC1475 variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.000V ±2% (guaranteed over load, line, temp); enables direct replacement of linear regulators without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 18V; supports single-cell Li-ion (4.2V), dual-cell alkaline (3V), and industrial 12V rails without pre-regulation. |
| No-Load Supply Current | 10µA typical; minimizes battery drain in standby, critical for multi-year battery life in remote sensors. |
| Shutdown Current | 6µA typical; allows deep sleep states while preserving low-battery monitoring capability. |
| Switch RDS(ON) | 1.4Ω typical at VIN = 10V; limits conduction loss to <140mW at 300mA, enabling >92% peak efficiency. |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 325–400mA (RSENSE = 0Ω); sets maximum inductor current for short-circuit protection and optimized inductor sizing. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.230V ±25mV; precision internal bandgap reference ensures tight output regulation independent of external components. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8), 150°C/W θJA, RoHS-compliant, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT/VFB (Pin 1) | Output voltage sense / feedback node | Internally connected to 5V divider; provides regulated 5V output and enables monitoring via external resistor network if reconfigured. |
| LBO (Pin 2) | Low-battery comparator open-drain output | Sinks up to 0.7mA when LBI < 1.23V; drives LED or microcontroller interrupt without pull-up in shutdown mode. |
| LBI (Pin 3) | Low-battery comparator input | Compares external divided battery voltage to 1.23V reference; remains active during RUN = low. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground reference | Common return for switch, feedback, and comparator circuits; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Drain of internal P-MOSFET power switch | Connects directly to cathode of external Schottky diode; handles pulsed currents up to 750mA absolute max. |
| SENSE (Pin 6) | Current-sense input / switch source | Programs peak current limit via optional resistor to VIN; default 325mA trip when shorted to VIN (RSENSE = 0Ω). |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Main input supply connection | Accepts 3V–18V; must be decoupled with ≥10µF electrolytic + 0.1µF ceramic for EMI suppression and transient response. |
| RUN (Pin 8) | Logic-level enable/shutdown control | Ground = shutdown (6µA IQ); open/high = active; 0.7V threshold ensures compatibility with 3.3V/5V logic outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables dropout as low as VOUT – VDS(ON)·ILOAD; sustains regulation down to VIN ≈ 5.1V at full load. |
| Burst Mode™ efficiency optimization | Maintains >85% efficiency at 1mA load by alternating burst cycles and 9µA sleep mode-critical for IoT endpoint longevity. |
| Integrated low-battery detector | Active during shutdown with 1.23V ±7mV trip threshold; eliminates need for external supervisor IC in battery-gauging designs. |
| Programmable current limit | Adjustable from 10mA to 400mA via external RSENSE; allows trade-off between inductor size, ripple, and short-circuit robustness. |
| Short-circuit protection | Auto-recovering foldback via current-sense comparator; prevents thermal runaway during output faults without latch-up. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | 3MHz fixed-frequency PWM (vs Burst Mode); 2.05V–6.5V input; 1.8µA shutdown current; no integrated LBO/LBI. | Higher switching frequency enables smaller inductors but lower light-load efficiency; lacks battery-monitoring features. | Select for space-constrained designs needing <1µH inductors; avoid when battery state-of-charge monitoring is required. |
| MAX1776ESA+ | Current-mode PWM controller; 2.7V–20V input; adjustable output; 22µA quiescent current; includes enable and power-good. | Requires external MOSFET and feedback resistors; higher IQ reduces battery life vs LTC1474CS8-5#PBF's 10µA. | Select when adjustable output or external FET drive is needed; not drop-in for fixed 5V applications. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and MAX1776ESA+, the LTC1474CS8-5#PBF delivers superior light-load efficiency via Burst Mode™ and built-in battery monitoring-making it optimal for long-life, feature-integrated battery systems where board area and component count are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the LTC1474CS8-5#PBF?
The LTC1474CS8-5#PBF supports up to 250mA continuous output current in typical applications, as validated in the Figure 1 reference design (VIN = 10V, VOUT = 5V, L = 100µH). Peak switch current is internally limited to 325–400mA depending on SENSE pin configuration, providing short-circuit protection without external current limiting.
Does the LTC1474CS8-5#PBF require external feedback resistors to set the 5V output?
No-the LTC1474CS8-5#PBF is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider; no external feedback resistors are needed to achieve 5.000V ±2%. The VOUT/VFB pin (Pin 1) is internally connected to this divider, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count versus adjustable versions like LTC1474CS8.
Can the low-battery detector in the LTC1474CS8-5#PBF operate while the device is in shutdown mode?
Yes-the low-battery comparator remains fully functional during shutdown (RUN = low), drawing only 6µA total. The LBI input continues comparing the external battery divider to the 1.23V reference, and LBO will sink current when the threshold is crossed-enabling battery monitoring without waking the main system.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the LTC1474CS8-5#PBF, and how is it used?
The SENSE pin (Pin 6) sets the peak inductor current limit by sensing voltage across an optional external resistor between SENSE and VIN. With SENSE shorted to VIN (RSENSE = 0Ω), the LTC1474CS8-5#PBF defaults to 325–400mA trip threshold. Adding RSENSE lowers the trip point-for example, 1.1Ω yields ~75mA-optimizing inductor size and ripple for light-load applications.
Is the LTC1474CS8-5#PBF pin-compatible with the LTC1475CS8-5#PBF?
No-the LTC1474CS8-5#PBF and LTC1475CS8-5#PBF share identical pinouts and packages but differ functionally: LTC1474 uses logic-level RUN pin control, while LTC1475 uses pushbutton ON/LBI-OFF latching. Swapping them requires redesigning the enable interface and may disable low-battery functionality if LBI is repurposed as OFF.
