SW (Pin 8): The switch pin is the collector of the power switch and has large currents flowing through it. Keep the S/S (Pin 4): Shutdown and Synchronization Pin. The S/S traces to the switching components as short as possible to pin is logic level compatible. Shutdown is active low and minimize radiation and voltage spikes. the shutdown threshold is typically 1.3V. For normal operation, pull the S/S pin high, tie it to VIN or leave it floating. To synchronize switching, drive the S/S pin be- tween 600kHz and 800kHz (LT1372) or 1.2MHz to 1.6MHz (LT1377).
