Apply the output filter RUN/SS (Pin L5): Pull the RUN/SS pin below 0.2V to capacitor and the output load between these pins and shut down the LTM8025. Tie to 2.5V or more for normal GND pins. operation. If the shutdown feature is not used, tie this pin GND (Bank 2): Tie these GND pins to a local ground to the VIN pin. RUN/SS also provides a soft-start function; plane below the LTM8025 and the circuit components. see the Applications Information section.
