A TR/SS voltage below 0.97V forces the Voltage on INTVCC will vary between 2.8V and 3.4V when LT8610A/LT8610AB to regulate the FB pin to equal the VBIAS is between 3.0V and 3.6V. Decouple this pin to power TR/SS pin voltage. When TR/SS is above 0.97V, the ground with at least a 1μF low ESR ceramic capacitor tracking function is disabled and the internal reference placed close to the IC. resumes control of the error amplifier. An internal 2.2μA
BIAS (Pin 14):
The internal regulator will draw current from pull-up current from INTVCC on this pin allows a capacitor BIAS instead of V to program output voltage slew rate. This pin is pulled to IN when BIAS is tied to a voltage higher than 3.1V. For output voltages of 3.3V and above this pin ground with an internal 230Ω MOSFET during shutdown should be tied to V and fault conditions; use a series resistor if driving from OUT. If this pin is tied to a supply other than V a low impedance output. This pin may be left floating if OUT use a 1µF local bypass capacitor on this pin. the tracking function is not needed.
PG (Pin 15):
The PG pin is the open-drain output of an internal comparator. PG remains low until the FB pin is
RT (Pin 3):
A resistor is tied between RT and ground to within ±9% of the final regulation voltage, and there are set the switching frequency. no fault conditions. PG is valid when VIN is above 3.4V,
EN/UV (Pin 4):
The LT8610A/LT8610AB is shut down regardless of EN/UV pin state. when this pin is low and active when this pin is high. The

The LT8610A/ hysteretic threshold voltage is 1.00V going up and 0.96V LT8610AB regulates the FB pin to 0.970V. Connect the going down. Tie to VIN if the shutdown feature is not feedback resistor divider tap to this pin. Also, connect a used. An external resistor divider from VIN can be used phase lead capacitor between FB and V to program a V OUT. Typically, this IN threshold below which the LT8610A/ capacitor is 4.7pF to 10pF. LT8610AB will shut down.
