Product details
Overview
LTC1701ES5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1MHz, current-mode, step-down DC/DC converter in a 5-lead SOT-23 package. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers up to 500mA output current with internal 0.28Ω PMOS switch, supports adjustable output from 1.25V to 5V, and features Burst Mode™ operation for ultra-low quiescent current (135µA active, <1µA shutdown). It is used in space-constrained portable power rails for digital cameras and cellular handsets.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1701ES5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1701ES5#TRPBF pinout, LTC1701ES5#TRPBF application, or LTC1701ES5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1MHz fixed-frequency operation enabling compact external components, OPTI-LOOP™ compensation for stable transient response across capacitor types, and precise 1.25V feedback reference with ±0.03V tolerance over temperature.
Technical Context
The LTC1701ES5#TRPBF employs a constant off-time, current-mode control architecture where switching frequency varies with input-output voltage differential but centers near 1MHz. Its main control loop compares VFB against a 1.25V bandgap reference and adjusts peak inductor current via the ITH/RUN pin voltage (1.25V–2.25V operating range).
Burst Mode™ operation activates below light-load thresholds to reduce gate charge losses, while dropout mode enables 100% duty cycle operation down to VIN = VOUT. The device lacks under-voltage lockout, requiring external shutdown control when VIN falls below 2.5V.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead plastic SOT-23 (JEDEC MO-178AA), 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, surface-mount, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch Node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; swings from VIN to ~0.3V below GND during conduction. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power Ground | Reference for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection to CIN(–), COUT(–), and diode cathode. |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback Input | High-impedance (±0.1µA) node sensing resistive divider output; regulated to 1.25V nominal. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | Fixed 3.3V output; 3MHz switching; 600mA rated; requires external compensation components. | Not adjustable; higher frequency demands smaller L/C but increases EMI sensitivity and gate drive losses. | Select when fixed 3.3V output suffices and board space permits tighter EMI filtering; not suitable for variable-output designs. |
| MAX17222ELT+T | 1.2V fixed output; 2.5MHz switching; 500mA rated; integrated compensation; 0.9V min input. | Lower input voltage capability enables single-cell NiMH use; fixed output limits flexibility in multi-rail systems. | Choose for ultra-low-input applications (0.9V–5.5V) where 1.2V rail is acceptable; lacks adjustable feedback for custom voltages. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and MAX17222ELT+T, the LTC1701ES5#TRPBF offers unique adjustability (1.25V–5V), proven OPTI-LOOP™ stability with mixed capacitor types, and industry-standard SOT-23 footprint-making it preferred for legacy portable designs requiring design continuity and broad output flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC1701ES5#TRPBF?
The LTC1701ES5#TRPBF delivers up to 500mA continuous output current with high efficiency, enabled by its internal 0.28Ω (typ.) PMOS switch at VIN = 5V. Peak switch current is internally limited to 0.9A–1.1A, providing overcurrent protection. Actual achievable current depends on thermal design, input voltage, and output voltage-e.g., at VIN = 3.3V and VOUT = 1.8V, derating may apply due to increased RDS(ON) and duty cycle.
Does the LTC1701ES5#TRPBF support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the LTC1701ES5#TRPBF supports fully adjustable output voltage from 1.25V to 5V using an external resistor divider connected to the VFB pin. The output is calculated as VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R2/R1), where the 1.25V reference has a tolerance of ±0.03V over temperature. This adjustability makes LTC1701ES5#TRPBF suitable for multi-rail systems requiring precise, configurable voltages.
How does Burst Mode™ operation improve efficiency in the LTC1701ES5#TRPBF?
Burst Mode™ operation in the LTC1701ES5#TRPBF reduces gate charge losses at light loads by intermittently enabling the main control loop only when output voltage droops below regulation. This lowers active-mode quiescent current to 135µA and shutdown current to <1µA-extending battery life in standby or low-activity states. Unlike continuous-mode alternatives, LTC1701ES5#TRPBF avoids audible noise and maintains regulation without sacrificing light-load efficiency.
What is the role of the ITH/RUN pin on the LTC1701ES5#TRPBF?
The ITH/RUN pin on the LTC1701ES5#TRPBF serves two critical functions: it acts as the error amplifier output for loop compensation (operating 1.25V–2.25V), and as a run/shutdown control input (pull below 0.8V to disable). An external RC network on this pin enables soft-start and power sequencing. Its dual role simplifies design by integrating compensation and enable logic into one node-eliminating need for separate EN and COMP pins found in many competing regulators.
Can the LTC1701ES5#TRPBF operate in dropout mode, and what does that mean for system design?
Yes, the LTC1701ES5#TRPBF supports 100% duty cycle dropout operation, allowing VOUT to track VIN when input voltage falls near or below the regulated output. This is essential for maximizing runtime in battery-powered systems as the cell discharges. However, LTC1701ES5#TRPBF lacks under-voltage lockout, so external circuitry must ensure VIN stays ≥2.5V or force shutdown below that threshold to prevent unregulated operation.
