LT3478/LT3478-1 UUUPI FU CTIO S exceeds 6A or VOUT exceeds OVP, an internal soft-start Exposed Pad (Pin 17): The ground for the IC and the con- latch is set, the power NPN is immediately turned off and verter. The FE package has an Exposed Pad underneath the the SS pin is discharged. The soft-start latch is also set IC which is the best path for heat out of the package. Pin 17 if VIN and/or ⎯S⎯H⎯D⎯N do not meet their turn on thresholds. should be soldered to a continuous copper ground plane The SS pin only recharges when all faults are removed under the device to reduce die temperature and increase and the pin has been discharged below 0.25V. the power capability of the LT3478/LT3478-1.
