LTC3805-5 PIN FUNCTIONS SSFLT (Pin 1): Soft-Start Pin. A capacitor placed from ISENSE (Pin 7): Performs two functions: for current mode this pin to GND (Exposed Pad) controls the rate of rise of control, it monitors the switch current, using the voltage converter output voltage during start-up. This capacitor is across an external current sense resistor. Pin 7 also injects also used for time out after a fault prior to restart. a current ramp that develops slope compensation voltage I across an optional external programming resistor. TH (Pin 2): Error Amplifier Compensation Point. Normal operating voltage range is clamped between 0.7V and OC (Pin 8): Overcurrent Pin. Connect this pin to the ex- 1.9V. ternal switch current sense resistor. An additional resistor FB (Pin 3): Receives the feedback voltage from an external programs the overcurrent trip level. resistor divider across the output. VCC (Pin 9): Supply Pin. A capacitor must closely decouple RUN (Pin 4): An external resistor divider connects this pin VCC to GND (Exposed Pad). to VIN and sets the thresholds for converter operation. GATE (Pin 10): Gate Drive for the External N-Channel FS (Pin 5): A resistor connected from this pin to ground MOSFET. This pin swings from GND to VCC. sets the frequency of operation. GND (Exposed Pad Pin 11): Ground. A capacitor must SYNC (Pin 6): Input to synchronize the oscillator to an closely decouple GND to VCC (Pin 9). The exposed pad external source. must be soldered to electrical ground on PCB for electrical contact and rated thermal performance.
