LTC3411A pin FuncTionsSHDN/RT (Pin 1): Combination Shutdown and Timing PGND (Pin 5): Main Power Ground Pin. Connect to the Resistor Pin. The oscillator frequency is programmed by (–) terminal of COUT, and (–) terminal of CIN. connecting a resistor from this pin to ground. Forcing PV this pin to SV IN (Pin 6): Main Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled IN causes the device to be shut down. In to PGND. shutdown all functions are disabled. SVSYNC/MODE (Pin 2): Combination Mode Selection and IN (Pin 7): The Signal Power Pin. All active circuitry is powered from this pin. Must be closely decoupled to Oscillator Synchronization Pin. This pin controls the op- SGND. SV eration of the device. When tied to SV IN must be greater than or equal to PVIN. IN or SGND, Burst Mode operation or pulse skipping mode is selected, PGOOD (Pin 8): The Power Good Pin. This common drain respectively. If this pin is held at half of SVIN, the forced logic output is pulled to SGND when the output voltage is continuous mode is selected. The oscillation frequency not within ±7% of regulation. can be synchronized to an external oscillator applied to V this pin. When synchronized to an external clock pulse FB (Pin 9): Receives the feedback voltage from the ex- ternal resistive divider across the output. Nominal voltage skip mode is selected. for this pin is 0.8V. SGND (Pin 3): The Signal Ground Pin. Al smal -signal com- I ponents and compensation components should be con- TH (Pin 10): Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The current comparator threshold increases with this control nected to this ground (see Board Layout Considerations). voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is 0.4V to SW (Pin 4): The Switch Node Connection to the Inductor. 1.4V. This pin swings from PVIN to PGND. PGND (Exposed Pad Pin 11, DFN Package): Power Ground. Must be soldered to electrical ground on PCB.
