The LTC
®
1174 is a simple current mode DC/DC converter
ideally suited for 9V to 5V, 5V to 3.3V or 5V to – 5V
operation. With an internal 0.9Ω switch (at a supply
voltage of 9V), the LTC1174 requires only four external
components to construct a complete high efficiency
DC/DC converter.
Under a no load condition the LTC1174 draws only 130µA.
In shutdown, it draws a mere 1µA making this converter
ideal for current sensitive applications. In dropout, the
internal P-channel MOSFET switch is turned on continu-
ously allowing the user to maximize the life of the battery
source.
The maximum inductor current of the LTC1174 family is
pin selectable to either 340mA or 600mA, optimizing
efficiency for a wide range of applications. Operation up to
200kHz permits the use of small surface mount inductors
and capacitors.
For applications requiring higher output current or ultra-
high efficiency, see the LTC1148 data sheet.

For the LTC1174, this pin connects to the
main voltage comparator’s input. On the LTC1174-3.3 and
LTC1174-5 this pin goes to an internal resistive divider
which sets the output voltage.
LB

The “–” Input of the Low-Battery Voltage
Comparator. The “+” input is connected to a reference

GND (Pin 4):

SW(Pin5):
Drain of the P-Channel MOSFET Switch. Cathode

SHUTDOWN (Pin 8):
Pulling this pin to ground keeps the
internal switch off and puts the LTC1174 in micropower
