Product details
Overview
LTC1474IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, low-quiescent-current step-down DC/DC converter with internal P-channel MOSFET switch, fixed 3.3V output, and industrial-grade temperature rating (–40°C to +85°C). It delivers up to 250mA output current, achieves >92% peak efficiency at 10V input, features 10µA typical no-load supply current, and supports 4V–18V input range - ideal for battery-powered portable instrumentation and wireless modems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1474IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1474IS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1474IS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1474IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.3V fixed output, 8-lead SO package, programmable current limit (325–400mA), 1.23V internal reference, and low-battery detector functional during shutdown.
Technical Context
The LTC1474IS8#TRPBF employs Burst Mode™ operation to maintain high efficiency across light-to-moderate loads by alternating short switching bursts with ultra-low-power sleep cycles (9µA typical). Its peak-current control architecture uses an internal 5Ω sense element plus optional external RSENSE to set trip threshold at 100mV, enabling precise IPEAK programming from 10mA to 400mA.
It integrates a 1.23V bandgap reference, open-drain low-battery comparator (LBO) with 1.23V threshold on LBI, and logic-controlled RUN pin for micropower shutdown (6µA typical). The internal 1.4Ω PMOS switch enables 100% duty-cycle operation for ultra-low dropout, and the 4.75µs off-time scales up to 65µs under short-circuit conditions to ensure safe inductor current decay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% (3.234V–3.366V), regulated via internal 1.23V reference and resistor divider |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 18V - supports single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline/NiMH, and wide industrial rails |
| Max Output Current | 250mA at 3.3V - limited by thermal design and 400mA peak switch current (RSENSE = 0Ω) |
| No-Load Supply Current | 10µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 6µA typical - maintains low-battery detection active while disabling all switching circuitry |
| Switch On-Resistance | 1.4Ω typical at VIN = 10V - determines conduction loss and thermal rise at full load |
| Feedback Reference | 1.230V ±2.4% - sets output accuracy and enables adjustable versions via external resistors |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 1.23V ±3% on LBI pin - triggers LBO sink output even during shutdown for system-level battery monitoring |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline), 150°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT/VFB (Pin 1) | Output voltage feedback node | Internally connected to 3.3V divider; serves as regulation point and error amplifier input |
| LBO (Pin 2) | Low-battery open-drain output | Sinks ≥0.45mA when LBI < 1.23V; remains active in shutdown for battery monitoring |
| LBI (Pin 3) | Low-battery input comparator | Compares external voltage divider to 1.23V reference; trip hysteresis = 5mV |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground reference | Common return path for switch, feedback, and comparator circuits; requires low-impedance layout |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Drain of internal PMOS power switch; connects directly to cathode of external Schottky diode |
| SENSE (Pin 6) | Current sense input | Monitors switch current via internal 5Ω + optional RSENSE; trips at 100mV total drop |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Main input supply | Accepts 4V–18V; powers internal bias, gate driver, and reference; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic |
| RUN (Pin 8) | Logic-controlled enable | Ground = shutdown (6µA IQ); open/high = active; requires no pull-up for default run mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ operation | Maintains >85% efficiency at 1mA load by cycling between microsecond bursts and 9µA sleep mode |
| 100% duty-cycle capability | Enables dropout <100mV at full load - critical for Li-ion end-of-discharge operation |
| Programmable peak current limit | Adjustable from 10mA to 400mA using RSENSE, enabling optimized inductor sizing and ripple control |
| Active low-battery detection in shutdown | LBO sinks current when LBI falls below 1.23V - allows host MCU to monitor battery without waking regulator |

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; 300mA max; 22µA IQ | Higher switching frequency enables smaller inductors but higher light-load losses; less suitable for multi-year battery life | Prefer LTC1474IS8#TRPBF for sub-100µA average IQ requirements; choose TPS62231DRYR only if EMI-sensitive or size-constrained designs demand 3MHz operation |
| MAX17222ETA+ | Hysteretic 1.2MHz operation; 0.7V–5.5V input; 300mA max; 1.6µA IQ; no LBI/LBO pins | Ultra-low IQ benefits extreme low-power IoT, but lacks integrated battery monitoring - requires external comparator | LTC1474IS8#TRPBF is superior when system-level low-battery signaling is required; MAX17222ETA+ fits where minimal IQ dominates and battery sensing is handled externally |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and MAX17222ETA+, the LTC1474IS8#TRPBF uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, integrated low-battery comparator with shutdown-mode operation, and sub-10µA no-load IQ - making it optimal for battery-powered instrumentation requiring long service life and autonomous battery health awareness.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC1474IS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1474IS8#TRPBF delivers up to 250mA continuous output current at 3.3V under typical thermal conditions (SO-8 package, 25°C ambient, standard PCB layout). This is constrained by internal power dissipation limits and the 400mA peak switch current specification. Derating is required above 60°C ambient to maintain reliability, and actual achievable current depends on input voltage, inductor DCR, and PCB copper area.
Does the LTC1474IS8#TRPBF support adjustable output voltage?
No, the LTC1474IS8#TRPBF is a fixed 3.3V output version. Adjustable output is available only in the LTC1474-ADJ variants (e.g., LTC1474CS8#PBF), which require external resistor dividers on the VFB pin. The LTC1474IS8#TRPBF has internal feedback resistors trimmed to deliver 3.3V ±2%, eliminating external components but precluding voltage adjustment.
How does the low-battery detector function during shutdown on the LTC1474IS8#TRPBF?
The low-battery detector in the LTC1474IS8#TRPBF remains fully operational during shutdown: the internal 1.23V reference and comparator continue running, so LBO will sink current whenever the voltage on LBI falls below 1.23V - even with RUN pin grounded and the regulator fully disabled. This enables host systems to monitor battery health without waking the main power rail.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the LTC1474IS8#TRPBF?
The SENSE pin (Pin 6) on the LTC1474IS8#TRPBF provides access to the internal current-sense node used for peak-current limiting. When shorted to VIN (RSENSE = 0Ω), it defaults to a 325–400mA trip threshold. Adding an external resistor between SENSE and VIN lowers the threshold linearly (e.g., 1.1Ω yields ~75mA), enabling optimization for lower-current applications and reduced output ripple.
Can the LTC1474IS8#TRPBF operate with input voltage below 4V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for reliable operation of the LTC1474IS8#TRPBF is 4V, as specified in the datasheet's operating conditions. Although the absolute maximum rating allows VIN down to –0.3V, startup and regulation are not guaranteed below 4V. For sub-4V inputs, consider the LTC1475-3.3 or other regulators with lower VIN(min) such as the LTC3620.
