This improves efficiency. controlling the output switch is shut down reducing the input supply current to 45µA. High switch efficiency is attained by using the BOOST pin to provide a voltage to the switch driver which is higher The LT3434 contains a power good flag with a program- than the input voltage, allowing switch to be saturated. mable threshold and delay time.

The first part of this section deals with selecting resistors 2.5 100 100 0 to set output voltage and the remaining part talks about 3 100 140 0 frequency foldback and soft-start features. Please read 3.3 100 165 0.38 both parts before committing to a final design. 5 100 300 0 Referring to Figure 2, the output voltage is determined by 6 100 383 0.63 a voltage divider from VOUT to ground which generates 8 100 536 – 0.63 1.25V at the FB pin.

For light load applications the resistor values should be as large as possible to achieve peak efficiency in Burst Mode operation. Extremely large values V for resistor R1 will cause an output voltage error due to the OUT LT3434 SW 2 50nA FB pin input current. The suggested value for the C1 CSS output divider resistor (see Figure 2) from FB to ground SOFT-START 9 (R2) is 100k or less. A formula for R1 is shown below.
