LTC3409 PIN FUNCTIONSVFB (Pin 1): Feedback Pin. Receives the feedback voltage SYNC (Pin 8): External CLK Input/Fixed Switching Fre- from an external resistive divider across the output. quency Selection. Forcing this pin above 1.1V for greater than 30μs selects 2.6MHz switching frequency. Forcing GND (Pin 2): Ground Pin. this pin below 0.3V for greater than 30μs selects 1.7MHz VIN (Pins 3, 4): Main Supply Pins. Must be closely de- switching frequency. coupled to GND, Pin 2 and Pin 9, with a 4.7μF or greater External clock input, 1MHz to 3MHz frequency range. ceramic capacitor. When the SYNC pin is clocked in this frequency range MODE (Pin 5): Mode Select Input. To select pulse skipping the SYNC threshold is nominally 0.63V. To allow for good mode, force this pin above 1.1V. Forcing this pin below noise immunity, SYNC signal should swing at least 0.3V 0.3V selects Burst Mode operation. Do not leave MODE below and above this nominal value (0.33V to 0.93V). Do fl oating. not leave SYNC fl oating. SW (Pin 6): Switch Node Connection to Inductor. This pin Exposed Pad(Pin 9): The Exposed Pad is ground. It must connects to the drains of the internal main and synchronous be soldered to PCB ground to provide both electrical contact power MOSFET switches. and optimum thermal performance. RUN (Pin 7): Run Control Input. Forcing this pin above 1.1V enables the part. Forcing this pin below 0.3V shuts down the device. In shutdown, all functions are disabled drawing <1μA supply current. Do not leave RUN fl oating. 3409fc 7
