Product details
Overview
LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, low-quiescent-current step-down DC/DC converter with integrated P-channel MOSFET, delivering 3.3V at up to 250mA output current. It operates from 3V to 18V input, achieves >92% peak efficiency, and features pushbutton on/off control, programmable current limit, and active-low micropower shutdown (6µA typ). It is used in battery-powered portable instruments and wireless modems requiring stable low-noise 3.3V rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF datasheet, LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF pinout, LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF application, or LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.3V fixed output, 8-pin MSOP package, 10µA no-load supply current, 4.75µs off-time, and LBI/OFF dual-function pin for low-battery detection and shutdown initiation.
Technical Context
The LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF uses Burst Mode™ operation to maintain regulation while minimizing quiescent current: it alternates short energy bursts (with 4.75µs controlled off-time) and deep-sleep cycles where only the voltage comparator, 1.23V reference, and low-battery comparator remain active. Its internal current sensing-via a 5Ω internal sense resistor and optional external RSENSE-trips at 100mV to limit peak switch current between 325mA (RSENSE = 0Ω) and 76mA (RSENSE = 1.1Ω).
Unlike the LTC1474, the LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF implements pushbutton control via an internal S/R flip-flop: a momentary ground on Pin 8 (ON) initiates run mode, while a momentary ground on Pin 3 (LBI/OFF) triggers shutdown. The LBI/OFF pin retains low-battery comparator functionality during shutdown, with trip threshold of 1.23V ±7mV and hysteresis of 5mV.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.300V ±2% (3.234V–3.366V) at 50mA load; enables direct replacement of 3.3V LDOs without feedback divider. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 18V continuous operation; supports single-cell Li-ion (4.2V), dual-cell alkaline (3V–3.2V), and industrial 12V rails. |
| No-Load Supply Current | 10µA typical; ensures >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes powered by 2×AA cells (3000mAh). |
| Shutdown Current | 6µA typical; allows ultra-low-power sleep states in handheld devices with mechanical power buttons. |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 325–400mA (RSENSE = 0Ω); sets maximum inductor current to optimize size/efficiency trade-off for ≤250mA loads. |
| Switch On-Resistance | 1.4Ω typical at VIN = 10V; limits conduction loss to <35mW at 250mA, enabling thermally robust operation in MSOP-8. |
| Off-Time Duration | 4.75µs nominal (up to 65µs under short-circuit); ensures complete inductor current decay even at near-zero VOUT. |
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 sense / feedback node | Internally connected to 3.3V resistive divider; no external components needed for fixed-output operation. |
| LBO (Pin 2) | Low-battery comparator open-drain output | Sinks up to 0.7mA when LBI/OFF voltage drops below 1.23V; drives LED or microcontroller interrupt directly. |
| LBI/OFF (Pin 3) | Dual-function input: low-battery detect + shutdown trigger | Comparator input referenced to 1.23V; momentary ground initiates shutdown-no pull-up required for button interface. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground reference | Single ground plane connection point; must be tied to PCB ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Drain of internal P-channel MOSFET power switch | Connects directly to cathode of external Schottky catch diode (e.g., MBR0530); requires tight layout to minimize ringing. |
| SENSE (Pin 6) | Current sense input / source of internal PMOS | Accepts optional external RSENSE between Pins 6 and 7 to program peak current; default 325mA limit if shorted. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Main input supply (3V–18V) | Supplies internal bias circuitry and gate drive; requires local 0.1µF ceramic + bulk capacitor (e.g., 10µF/25V). |
| ON (Pin 8) | Pushbutton run-mode initiator | Internal pull-up; momentary ground sets S/R latch to enable switching-enables single-button power sequencing. |
Key Features

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; 3.3V output; 400mA IOUT; 2.5µA shutdown current. | Higher switching frequency enables smaller inductors/caps but increases light-load inefficiency; no LBI/OFF dual-function pin. | Prefer for space-constrained designs needing higher frequency; avoid where ultra-low IQ or pushbutton control is mandatory. |
| MAX17222ETA+ | Hysteretic 500kHz operation; 1.8V–5.5V input; 3.3V output; 300mA IOUT; 1.6µA quiescent current; no integrated LBO/LBI. | Lower IQ than LTC1475 but lacks low-battery monitoring and pushbutton interface; requires external enable logic. | Select when lowest possible standby current is critical and system already provides battery monitoring; not drop-in for LBI/OFF functions. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and MAX17222ETA+, the LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF uniquely combines pushbutton on/off, active low-battery detection during shutdown, and sub-10µA no-load operation in a single 8-pin MSOP-making it irreplaceable in mechanically activated, battery-gauged portable systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF to regulate 3.3V output?
The LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF supports 100% duty-cycle operation, enabling regulation down to VIN = VOUT = 3.3V. However, reliable startup requires VIN ≥ 3.0V per Absolute Maximum Ratings, and practical operation begins at ~3.1V to ensure sufficient headroom for internal bias generation. Below 3.1V, the device may enter undervoltage lockout or fail to initiate switching.
Can the LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF be used without an external current sense resistor?
Yes-the LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF defaults to a 325–400mA peak switch current limit when Pins 6 (SENSE) and 7 (VIN) are shorted, using only its internal 5Ω sense resistor. This configuration eliminates RSENSE and its decoupling capacitor, simplifying layout for 250mA applications where precise current limiting is not required.
How does the LBI/OFF pin function during shutdown mode in the LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF?
During shutdown, the LBI/OFF pin remains fully active as the input to the low-battery comparator. It continuously compares the external voltage divider output against the internal 1.23V reference. If the divided voltage falls below the trip threshold (1.23V ±7mV), the LBO pin sinks current-enabling battery monitoring even when the main regulator is disabled.
What is the purpose of the 100kΩ resistor required between the ON pin and a pushbutton in the LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF?
The 100kΩ series resistor on the ON pin (Pin 8) limits inrush current during button press and prevents false triggering from noise or contact bounce. It works with the internal pull-up to ensure clean S/R latch toggling: grounding through the resistor pulls Pin 8 below 0.7V threshold reliably, while the resistor value avoids excessive voltage drop during sustained ground conditions.
Does the LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF require an external feedback resistor network for 3.3V output?
No-the LTC1475CMS8-3.3#PBF has an internal precision resistive divider optimized for 3.3V output. Pin 1 (VOUT/VFB) connects directly to the regulated output; no external resistors or capacitors are needed for basic operation. External components are only required for adjustable versions or stability enhancement in noisy environments.
