LT3694/LT3694-1 PIN FUNCTIONS (FE/UFD)VIN (Pin 1/Pins 27, 28): The VIN pin supplies power to the for the LDO regulators. The DRV pins can provide up to internal switch of the 2.6A regulator and to the LT3694’s 6V of base drive. internal reference and start-up circuitry. This pin must be LIM2, LIM3 (Pins 10, 11/Pins 9, 14): The LIM pins provide locally bypassed. current limiting on the LDO pass transistors by sensing EN/UVLO (Pin 2/Pin 1): The EN/UVLO pin is used to shut a voltage on an external sense resistor connected to the down the LT3694. It can be driven from a logic level or BIAS pin. These pins should be connected to BIAS if this used as an undervoltage lockout by connecting a resistor function is not used. divider from VIN.

This pin is normally used to compensate the Connect a frequency source to this input if synchronization control loop. The switching regulator can be shut is desired. Connect SYNC to ground if not used (LT3694 down by pulling the VC1 pin to ground with an NMOS only). or NPN transistor. PGOOD (Pin 4/Pin 3): Open Collector Output. PGOOD is BIAS (Pin 17/Pin 20): The BIAS pin supplies the current pulled low when any of the three regulators drops out of to the LT3694’s internal regulator and boost circuits. This regulation (VFB < 90% of nominal value). must be connected to a voltage source above 3V, usually RT (Pin 5/Pin 4): The RT pin requires a resistor to ground to VOUT1. The LDO pass transistor base current will also to set the operating frequency of the LT3694. If synchroniz- come from the BIAS pin if it is at least 1.8V above the ing the LT3694 to an external clock, the resistor should LDO output. be set to program the frequency at least 20% below the BST (Pin 18/Pin 21): The BST pin is used to provide a synchronization frequency. drive voltage, higher than the input voltage, to the internal TRK/SS1, TRK/SS2 , TRK/SS3 (Pins 6, 7, 14/Pins 5, 6, 17): bipolar NPN power switch. The TRK/SS pins allow a regulator to track the output of DA (Pin 19/Pin 22): The DA pin senses the catch diode another regulator. When the TRK/SS pin is below 0.75V, current to prevent excessive inductor current in output the FB pin regulates to the TRK/SS voltage. This pin can overload or short-circuit conditions. also be used as a soft-start by connecting a capacitor from SW (Pin 20/Pins 23, 24): Output of the Internal Power TRK/SS to ground. The TRK/SS pins should be left open Switch. Connect this pin to the inductor and switching if neither feature is used. diode.
