pin FuncTions BIAS (Pin 1):
The internal regulator will draw current from
GND2 (10, 11):
Power Switch Ground. These pins are the BIAS instead of VIN when BIAS is tied to a voltage higher return path of the internal bottom side power switch and than 3.1V. For output voltages of 3.3V to 30V this pin must be tied together. Place the negative terminal of the should be tied to VOUT. If this pin is tied to a supply other input capacitor as close to the GND2 pins as possible. than VOUT use a 1µF local bypass capacitor on this pin. If Also be sure to tie GND2 to the ground plane. See the no supply is available, tie to GND. Applications Information section for sample layout.
INTVCC (Pin 2):
Internal 3.4V Regulator Bypass Pin. The
VIN2 (Pin 13):
The LT8614 requires two 1µF small input internal power drivers and control circuits are powered bypass capacitors. One 1µF capacitor should be placed from this voltage. INTVCC maximum output current is between VIN1 and GND1. A second 1µF capacitor should 20mA. Do not load the INTVCC pin with external circuitry. be placed between VIN2 and GND2. These capacitors INTVCC current will be supplied from BIAS if BIAS > must be placed as close as possible to the LT8614. A 3.1V, otherwise current will be drawn from VIN. Voltage third larger capacitor of 2.2µF or more should be placed on INTVCC will vary between 2.8V and 3.4V when BIAS close to the LT8614 with the positive terminal connected is between 3.0V and 3.6V. Decouple this pin to power to VIN1 and VIN2, and the negative terminal connected ground with at least a 1μF low ESR ceramic capacitor to ground.

BST (Pin 3):
This pin is used to provide a drive voltage,
EN/UV (Pin 14):
The LT8614 is shut down when this pin higher than the input voltage, to the topside power switch. is low and active when this pin is high. The hysteretic Place a 0.1µF boost capacitor as close as possible to the threshold voltage is 1.00V going up and 0.96V going IC. down. Tie to VIN if the shutdown feature is not used. An

IN1 (Pin 4):
The LT8614 requires two 1µF small input bypass capacitors. One 1µF capacitor should be placed a VIN threshold below which the LT8614 will shut down. between VIN1 and GND1. A second 1µF capacitor should

This larger capacitor of 2.2µF or more should be placed close pin allows user control of output voltage ramp rate during to the LT8614 with the positive terminal connected to VIN1 start-up. A TR/SS voltage below 0.97V forces the LT8614 and VIN2, and the negative terminal connected to ground. to regulate the FB pin to equal the TR/SS pin voltage. See applications section for sample layout. When TR/SS is above 0.97V, the tracking function is dis-
GND1 (6, 7):
Power Switch Ground. These pins are the abled and the internal reference resumes control of the return path of the internal bottom side power switch and error amplifier. An internal 2.2μA pull-up current from must be tied together.
