LTC3891 PIN FUNCTIONS TRACK/SS (Pin 19/Pin 1): External Tracking and Soft- FREQ (Pin 20/Pin 2): The frequency control pin for the Start Input. The LTC3891 regulates the VFB voltage to the internal VCO. Connecting the pin to GND forces the VCO smaller of 0.8V or the voltage on the TRACK/SS pin. An to a fixed low frequency of 350kHz. Connecting the pin internal 10μA pull-up current source is connected to this to INTVCC forces the VCO to a fixed high frequency of pin. A capacitor to ground at this pin sets the ramp time 535kHz. Other frequencies between 50kHz and 900kHz to final regulated output voltage. Alternatively, a resistor can be programmed by using a resistor between FREQ divider on another voltage supply connected to this pin and GND. An internal 20µA pull-up current develops the allows the LTC3891 output to track another supply during voltage to be used by the VCO to control the frequency. start-up.
