LTC1878 UUUPI FU CTIO SRUN (Pin 1): Run Control Input. Forcing this pin below connects to the drains of the internal main and synchro- 0.4V shuts down the LTC1878. In shutdown all functions nous power MOSFET switches. are disabled drawing < 1µA supply current. Forcing this V pin above 1.2V enables the LTC1878. Do not leave RUN IN (Pin 6): Main Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled to GND, Pin 4. floating. SYNC/MODE (Pin 7): External Clock Synchronization and ITH (Pin 2): Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The Mode Select Input. To synchronize with an external clock, current comparator threshold increases with this control apply a clock with a frequency between 400kHz and voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is from 0.5V 700kHz. To select Burst Mode operation, tie to V to 1.9V. IN. Ground- ing this pin selects pulse skipping mode. Do not leave this VFB (Pin 3): Feedback Pin. Receives the feedback voltage pin floating. from an external resistive divider across the output. PLL LPF (Pin 8): Output of the Phase Detector and Control GND (Pin 4): Ground Pin. Input of Oscillator. Connect a series RC lowpass network from this pin to ground if externally synchronized. If SW (Pin 5): Switch Node Connection to Inductor. This pin unused, this pin may be left open.
