An external resistor divider, from VIN or is the open drain output of an internal comparator. The from another supply, programs the threshold below which PGOOD output is pulled low when VIN is above 2.25V and the LTC3310S will shut down. If the precision threshold the part is in shutdown. is not used, directly connect the pin to VIN. When the EN RT (Pin 15): The RT pin sets the oscillator frequency pin is low, the LTC3310S enters a low current shutdown with an external resistor to AGND or sets the phasing mode where all internal circuitry is disabled. for multiphase operation.

Depending on the mode of operation, the MODE/ A phase lead capacitor connected between VFB and VOUT SYNC pin either accepts an input clock pulse or outputs is used to optimize the transient response. a clock pulse at its operating frequency. (see Multiphase Operation in Applications Information). The MODE/SYNC pin also programs the mode of operation: pulse skip or forced continuous. Rev.
