Suggested Board LayoutSwitching Frequency IL 2A/DIV The switching frequency of the LT3479 is set by an exter- nal resistor attached to the RT pin. Do not leave this pin open. A resistor must always be connected for proper operation. See Table 4 and Figure 7 for resistor values VOUT and corresponding frequencies. 5V/DIV Table 4.
