Product details
Overview
LTC1474CS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, low-quiescent-current step-down DC/DC converter with an internal 1.4Ω P-channel MOSFET switch, fixed 3.3V output, and 8-lead SOIC package. It operates from 3V to 18V input, delivers up to 250mA, achieves >92% efficiency at 25mA load with 5V input, and draws only 10µA no-load supply current. It is used in battery-powered portable instruments and wireless modems requiring stable low-power regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1474CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1474CS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1474CS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1474CS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.3V fixed output, 10µA quiescent current, 1.4Ω internal switch RDS(ON), programmable peak current limit (325–400mA), and low-battery detection functionality active during shutdown.
Technical Context
The LTC1474CS8#TRPBF employs Burst Mode™ operation to maintain regulation while minimizing no-load current: it alternates between short energy bursts (switch on, inductor current ramp-up) and sleep cycles (switch off, capacitor supplies load). During burst-on time, a 100mV current-sense comparator monitors switch current via internal 5Ω + optional external resistor; trip initiates a 4.75µs minimum off-time.
Its voltage control loop compares feedback at VFB (Pin 1) against a 1.23V reference; hysteresis of ±5mV enables stable light-load regulation. The low-battery comparator (LBI/LBO pins) remains fully functional in shutdown mode, sinking current when LBI falls below 1.23V - critical for battery monitoring in always-on systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% (3.234V–3.366V) - ensures compatibility with 3.3V logic and microcontrollers without external feedback resistors. |
| No-Load Supply Current | 10µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in standby-critical applications like remote sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 18V - supports single-cell Li-ion (4.2V), dual-cell alkaline (3V), and industrial 12V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 325–400mA (RSENSE = 0Ω) - sets maximum inductor stress and short-circuit protection threshold. |
| Switch RDS(ON) | 1.4Ω typical at VIN = 10V - determines conduction loss and thermal rise under full load. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.230V ±2.4% - defines regulation accuracy and sets output tolerance for fixed and adjustable versions. |
| Shutdown Current | 6µA typical - reduces system power to near-zero while preserving low-battery monitoring capability. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8), 150°C/W θJA, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (#TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT/VFB (Pin 1) | Output voltage sense / feedback node | Internally connected to 3.3V divider; provides regulation reference point - must be routed with low-noise layout near output capacitor. |
| 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 resistor. |
| LBI (Pin 3) | Low-battery input comparator | Compares external battery divider to 1.23V reference - remains active in shutdown for battery health monitoring. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground reference | Common return for switch, feedback, and comparators - requires solid plane connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Drain of internal P-MOSFET switch | High-frequency switching node - must be placed adjacent to Schottky diode cathode and inductor to minimize parasitic inductance. |
| SENSE (Pin 6) | Current sense input | Monitors switch current via internal 5Ω + optional external resistor - determines peak current limit and short-circuit response. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Main input supply | Accepts 3V–18V; powers internal circuitry and switch - requires local 0.1µF ceramic + bulk capacitor. |
| RUN (Pin 8) | Logic-controlled enable input | Active-high: open/high = run, ground = shutdown - draws only 0.8µA leakage, enabling direct MCU GPIO control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables dropout-free regulation down to VIN = VOUT - critical for end-of-life battery operation in 3.3V systems. |
| Burst Mode™ efficiency optimization | Maintains >85% efficiency at 1mA load - eliminates linear regulator trade-off between quiescent current and light-load efficiency. |
| Integrated low-battery detector with shutdown persistence | Provides reliable battery state indication even when main regulator is disabled - eliminates need for separate supervisor IC. |
| Programmable peak current limit (325–400mA) | Allows inductor and diode sizing optimization for specific load profiles - reduces EMI and output ripple without sacrificing short-circuit protection. |
| Internal 1.4Ω P-channel MOSFET switch | Removes external high-side switch requirement - simplifies BOM and PCB layout while ensuring matched gate drive timing. |
Applications

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 | 3.3V fixed, 17µA IQ, 2MHz switching, 300mA max, 6-pin WSON - higher frequency, smaller inductor, but no LBI/LBO monitoring. | Lacks integrated low-battery comparator - requires external supervisor for battery state indication. | Choose when board space is constrained and battery monitoring is handled elsewhere. |
| MAX17222ETA+ | 3.3V fixed, 800nA IQ, 500mA max, 6-pin TDFN - ultra-low IQ, higher current, no shutdown-persistent LBI/LBO. | Cannot monitor battery during shutdown - unsuitable for "always-aware" battery systems. | Prefer when multi-year shelf life is paramount and low-battery alert only needed during active operation. |
Compared with LTC1474CS8#TRPBF, TPS62231DRYR offers higher switching frequency and smaller solution size but forfeits shutdown-mode battery monitoring; MAX17222ETA+ achieves nanoscale quiescent current yet omits the persistent low-battery function essential for maintenance-free remote deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC1474CS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1474CS8#TRPBF delivers up to 250mA continuous output current in the typical application circuit shown in the datasheet (with CDRH74-101 inductor and MBR0530 diode). Its peak switch current limit is 325–400mA depending on temperature and sense configuration, but sustained output is thermally limited to ~250mA in SOIC package at room temperature with minimal copper area.
Does the LTC1474CS8#TRPBF support adjustable output voltage?
No, the LTC1474CS8#TRPBF is a fixed 3.3V output version. Adjustable output is available only in variants such as LTC1474CS8-ADJ (orderable separately). The LTC1474CS8#TRPBF uses internal feedback resistors; connecting external dividers to Pin 1 will not alter the regulated output voltage.
Can the LTC1474CS8#TRPBF operate with input voltage lower than 3V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for the LTC1474CS8#TRPBF is 3V per Absolute Maximum Ratings. Operation below 3V may result in unregulated output or failure to start. For sub-3V inputs, consider the LTC3642 or other dedicated low-input buck regulators.
Is the low-battery detector functional when the LTC1474CS8#TRPBF is in shutdown mode?
Yes, the low-battery comparator remains fully operational during shutdown. The LBI pin continues to monitor the external voltage divider, and the LBO pin actively sinks current when LBI falls below 1.23V - enabling battery health monitoring without waking the main regulator.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the LTC1474CS8#TRPBF?
The SENSE pin (Pin 6) connects to the source of the internal P-MOSFET and monitors switch current via an internal 5Ω sense element. When used with an external resistor between SENSE and VIN, it programs the peak current limit (e.g., 70–85mA with 1.1Ω); with pins shorted, it defaults to 325–400mA - providing overcurrent protection and optimizing inductor sizing.
