Product details
Overview
LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-output 5V, high-efficiency step-down DC/DC converter with integrated P-channel MOSFET switch (0.9Ω RDS(ON)), internal Schottky diode (0.45V VF at 200mA), and pin-selectable current limit (340mA or 600mA). It operates from 4V to 18.5V input and delivers up to 400mA output in compact SO-16 package for battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF pinout, LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF application, or LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its micropower shutdown (2µA), low-battery detection interface (LBIN/LBOUT), constant off-time architecture enabling 111kHz operation at VIN=9V/VOUT=5V, and support for inverting configurations without external diode.
Technical Context
The LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF uses a constant off-time current-mode control architecture where switching frequency varies inversely with input voltage (e.g., ~111kHz at VIN=9V, VOUT=5V) and depends on VD across the internal Schottky diode. Its peak inductor current is set by IPGM pin voltage (0V → 340mA; VIN → 600mA), independent of inductance value.
It integrates a 1.25V reference for feedback (VFB pin), low-battery comparator with 1.25V threshold and 7.5–30mV hysteresis, and open-drain LBOUT capable of sinking 1.5mA. The internal 0.9Ω P-MOSFET and Schottky diode enable >94% efficiency at 175mA load with 100µH inductor and 22µF/35V output capacitor.

| Industrial Distributed Power | Inverting Power Supplies |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted PLC I/O module deriving 5V from 12V backplane with EMI constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local point-of-load converter with minimal external parts (3 components total) and low EMI due to constant off-time control.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting converter using LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF with GND as output reference; SW node becomes –5V source.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1174CS-5#PBF | SO-8 package; 500kHz fixed frequency; 0.5A output; no LBIN/LBOUT; higher IQ (150µA active) | Lacks low-battery detection; better suited for space-constrained, higher-frequency designs without battery monitoring | Select when PCB area is critical and battery telemetry is handled externally |
| LT1376CS8-5#TRPBF | SO-8; 500kHz; 1.5A output; external diode required; no integrated LB comparator | Higher current capability but needs 3 extra passives; no built-in battery sensing | Choose for >500mA loads where efficiency at light load is secondary to peak output |
Compared with LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF, LTC1174CS-5#PBF saves board space but removes battery monitoring, while LT1376CS8-5#TRPBF trades integration for higher current and fixed frequency-neither offers the same combination of micropower shutdown, integrated diode, and LBIN/LBOUT in SO-16.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF?
The LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF supports up to 400mA continuous output current when IPGM is tied to VIN (600mA current limit), as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "IPEAK" and validated by load regulation curves showing stable 5V output up to 400mA at VIN=9V. Derating applies above 70°C ambient.
Does the LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF is a fixed-output variant with internal resistive divider connecting VFB (Pin 10) to VOUT, eliminating external feedback components. This is explicitly stated in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table where VOUT is specified for LTC1574CS-5, and in the "FUNCTIONS" section confirming VFB is internally tied to the output divider.
How does the low-battery detection function work on the LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF?
The LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF uses LBIN (Pin 12) as the inverting input of a comparator referenced to an internal 1.25V bandgap. When the external resistor divider on LBIN drops below 1.25V, LBOUT (Pin 11) sinks up to 1.5mA. Hysteresis (7.5–30mV) prevents chatter, and trip point is set solely by the divider ratio-e.g., 162kΩ/4.7kΩ yields ~5.5V trip at VIN.
Can the LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF be used in inverting configurations?
Yes. The LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF supports inverting operation per Figure 4 in the datasheet: GND pins become the negative output (–5V), SW becomes the return path, and VIN supplies the positive rail. The internal Schottky diode handles reverse conduction, requiring no external diode-making it ideal for compact dual-rail audio or sensor biasing.
What is the recommended input capacitor for the LTC1574CS-5#TRPBF?
The datasheet specifies a minimum 0.1µF ceramic capacitor directly between VIN (Pin 5) and GND (Pin 4), plus bulk capacitance (e.g., 100µF tantalum) elsewhere on the board. RMS current rating for bulk CIN should be ≥174mA (calculated per design example), and low-ESR construction is mandatory to handle high-frequency ripple from the 0.9Ω switch.
