Product details
Overview
LTC1871IMS-7#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode DC/DC controller IC optimized for high-input-voltage boost, flyback, and SEPIC topologies, driving 6V-rated MOSFETs in telecom housekeeping supplies, 42V automotive systems, and 24V industrial controls. It features programmable 50kHz–1MHz switching frequency, 92% typical max duty cycle, ±1% internal 1.230V reference, and integrated 7V LDO regulator with 5.6V/4.6V UVLO thresholds.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF datasheet, LTC1871IMS-7#PBF pinout, LTC1871IMS-7#PBF application, or LTC1871IMS-7#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6V–36V input range, Burst Mode® operation for micropower shutdown (10µA), MODE/SYNC-controlled mode selection, INTVCC-regulated gate drive, and SENSE-pin flexibility for RDS(ON)-based or shunt-based current sensing.
Technical Context
The LTC1871IMS-7#PBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with slope compensation, where the ITH pin voltage sets the peak current comparator threshold (0.3V–1.23V range). Its internal 7V LDO powers the gate driver and logic, with undervoltage lockout (5.6V rise / 4.6V fall) protecting MOSFET gate drive integrity at low input conditions.
Operating mode is selected via the MODE/SYNC pin: grounded for Burst Mode® (250µA sleep current), tied to INTVCC for pulse-skip mode, or driven by external clock up to 1.3×fOSC for synchronization. The RUN pin provides accurate 1.248V turn-on threshold with 100mV hysteresis for programmable input voltage enable/disable sequencing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-mode boost/flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3751EMS#PBF | Higher 100V VIN max, no integrated LDO; requires external 5V bias; 1.21V FB reference | Targeted at higher-input industrial/medical flyback designs; lacks Burst Mode® and RUN-pin sequencing | Choose for >36V input or when external bias is already available; avoid if micropower shutdown or input sequencing is required |
| UCC28C43DR | Fixed 1MHz frequency, no programmable fOSC, no Burst Mode®, 2.5V min VIN, 1.25V FB reference | Cost-optimized for fixed-frequency boost in consumer electronics; no high-voltage SENSE capability | Choose for simple, low-cost boost supplies below 24V input; avoid for telecom/automotive due to limited voltage range and no light-load efficiency mode |
Compared with LT3751EMS#PBF and UCC28C43DR, the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF uniquely combines 36V input capability, integrated 7V LDO, Burst Mode® efficiency, and RUN-pin programmable sequencing - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive, or high-transient industrial/automotive flyback designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF?
The LTC1871IMS-7#PBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 36V on the VIN pin and 36V on the SENSE pin. Its operational input range is 6V to 36V, making it suitable for 42V automotive load-dump tolerant designs and telecom -48V rectified bus applications. Exceeding 36V on VIN or SENSE risks permanent device damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin control operating modes in the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF selects three distinct modes: grounded (or open) enables Burst Mode® for ultra-low-light-load efficiency; tied to INTVCC enables pulse-skip mode for fixed-frequency DCM operation; and driven by an external clock (≥2V, ≥25ns pulse width) enables synchronization up to 1.3×fOSC. Each mode alters ITH clamping, quiescent current, and noise spectrum characteristics.
Can the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF operate without an external current sense resistor?
Yes - the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF supports No RSENSE™ operation by connecting the SENSE pin directly to the MOSFET drain, provided VDS remains below 36V. This eliminates sense resistor losses and improves efficiency in medium-power applications. For VDS > 36V or precise peak-current control, connect SENSE to a source-shunt resistor instead.
What is the purpose of the RUN pin on the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF, and how is it used?
The RUN pin on the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF provides a micropower (60nA typical) enable input with a precise 1.248V rising threshold and 100mV hysteresis. It allows programmable input voltage turn-on/off sequencing using a resistor divider from VIN. When pulled below 1.248V, the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF enters shutdown with only 10µA supply current, preserving system battery life.
Does the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF include overvoltage protection, and how does it work?
Yes - the LTC1871IMS-7#PBF includes dedicated output overvoltage protection. An internal comparator monitors the FB pin and triggers a reset pulse to the main PWM latch if FB exceeds 1.230V by more than 6.5% (i.e., >1.311V). This forces the GATE output low and holds the MOSFET off until the fault clears, safeguarding downstream loads from damaging overvoltage events.
