SS pin charging be programmed for system input voltage by resistively current is 2μA. An internal 220Ω MOSFET discharges this dividing down system input voltage to the EN/UVLO pin. pin during shutdown or fault conditions. An 80mV pin hysteresis ensures part switching resumes when the pin exceeds 1.68V. EN/UVLO pin voltage below SYNC/MODE: This pin allows five selectable modes for 0.2V reduces VIN current below 1µA. If shutdown and optimization of performance. UVLO features are not required, the pin can be tied directly SYNC/MODE Pin InputCapable Mode(s) of Operation to system input.

The INTV Burst = low IQ, low output ripple operation at light loads CC pin must be bypassed with a 1µF low ESR ceramic capacitor to GND. No additional components or loading is Pulse-skip = skipped pulse(s) at light load (aligned to clock) allowed on this pin. INTV Sync = switching frequency synchronized to external clock CC draws power from the BIAS pin if 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ V SSFM = Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation for low IN, otherwise INTVCC is powered by the V EMI IN pin.

Removes the majority of INTVCC current from the VIN pin to improve efficiency when 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ V PGND,GND: Power Ground and Signal Ground for the IN. If unused, tie the pin to GND. IC. The package has an exposed pad underneath the IC which is the best path for heat out of the package. The VC: Error Amplifier Output Pin.

Connect Negative Outputs. Connect this pin to a resistor divider power ground components to the exposed pad copper between the output and the exposed pad GND copper exiting near the EN/UVLO and SW pins. Connect signal (near FBX). FBX reduces the switching frequency during ground components to the exposed pad copper exiting start-up and fault conditions when FBX is close to 0V. near the VC and FBX pins. 8362fa For more information www.linear.com/LT8362 7 Document Outline FEATURES DESCRIPTION APPLICATIONS TYPICAL APPLICATION ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS PIN CONFIGURATION ORDER INFORMATION ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS PIN FUNCTIONS BLOCK DIAGRAM OPERATION APPLICATIONS INFORMATION TYPICAL APPLICATIONS PACKAGE DESCRIPTION REVISION HISTORY TYPICAL APPLICATION RELATED PARTS
