Connect this pin this pin. to appropriate external components to compensate the ITH2 (Pin 8): Channel 2 Error Amplifier Output and regulator loop frequency response. Connect this pin to Switching Regulator Compensation Pin. Connect this pin INTVCC to use the default internal compensation. to appropriate external components to compensate the RUN1 (Pin 2): Channel 1 Regulator Enable Pin. Enables regulator loop frequency response. Connect this pin to channel 1 operation by tying RUN above 1.25V. Tying INTVCC to use the default internal compensation. it below 1V places the part into shutdown. Do not float V this pin. FB2 (Pin 9): Channel 2 Output Feedback Voltage Pin. Input to the error amplifier that compares the feedback MODE/SYNC (Pin 3): Mode Select and External voltage to the internal 0.6V reference voltage. Connect this Synchronization Input. Tie this pin to ground to force con- pin to a resistor divider network to program the desired tinuous synchronous operation. Floating this pin or tying output voltage. it to INTVCC enables high efficiency Burst Mode operation PGOOD2 (Pin 10): Channel 2 Open-Drain Power Good at light loads. Drive this pin with a clock to synchronize Output Pin. PGOOD2 is pulled to ground when the voltage the LTC3636/LTC3636-1 switching frequency. An internal on the V phase-locked loop will force the bottom power NMOS’s FB2 pin is not within ±8% (typical) of the inter- nal 0.6V reference. PGOOD2 becomes high impedance turn on signal to be synchronized with the rising edge of once the V the CLKIN signal. When this pin is driven with a clock, FB2 pin returns to within ±5% (typical) of the internal reference. forced continuous mode is automatically selected. TRACKSS2 (Pin 11): Output Tracking and Soft-Start Input RT (Pin 4): Oscillator Frequency Program Pin. Connect an Pin for Channel 2. Forcing a voltage below 0.6V on this pin external resistor (between 80k to 640k) from this pin to bypasses the internal reference input to the error ampli- GND in order to program the frequency from 500kHz to fier. The LTC3636/LTC3636-1 will servo the FB pin to the 4MHz. When RT is tied to INTVCC, the switching frequency TRACK voltage. Above 0.6V, the tracking function stops will default to 2MHz. and the internal reference resumes control of the error INTVCC (Pin 5): Internal 3.3V Regulator Output. The inter- amplifier.
