The LT1173CS8-5#PBF is a flexible DC-DC converter from Linear Technology, configurable as a buck or boost regulator. It accepts an input from 2V to 30V and provides a fixed 5V output. The internal 1.5A switch and low 23kHz switching frequency make it highly efficient for battery-powered and industrial applications. This converter is ideal for portable instruments, automotive sensors, and telecom systems.
- Buck or Boost Flexibility: One device can be used for step-up or step-down applications, simplifying inventory.
- Ultra-Wide Input Range: The 2V to 30V range covers everything from single-cell batteries to 24V industrial rails.
- High Efficiency: The low 23kHz frequency reduces switching losses, making it ideal for battery-operated devices.
- Simple Fixed Output: The fixed 5V output eliminates the need for external feedback resistors.
Battery-Powered Equipment
For devices running from 2-4 cells, the LT1173CS8-5#PBF can boost a low battery voltage to a regulated 5V. Its low 23kHz frequency ensures high efficiency, maximizing battery life.
Automotive Sensors
In automotive systems, this converter can step down a 12V or 24V supply to 5V for sensors and control modules. The wide 2V-30V input range handles load dump and cold-crank transients.
Industrial Control
Use it in industrial controllers to generate a 5V logic supply from a 24V bus. The buck configuration provides a stable, efficient solution for factory automation.
Portable Instruments
Power handheld meters and test equipment from a 9V battery. The boost mode delivers a regulated 5V, while the low quiescent current extends standby time.
Telecom Line Cards
In telecom equipment, the LT1173CS8-5#PBF can step down from a -48V rail (using appropriate external components) or from a local 12V supply to power logic circuits.
