LT3710 UUUPI FU CTIO SBOOST (Pin 1): Topside (Boosted) Driver Supply. This pin BGS (Pin 9): Bottom Gate Switching Control. CA2 moni- is used to bootstrap and supply the topside power switch tors the inductor current and prohibits BGATE from turn- gate drive circuitry. In normal operation VBOOST is powered ing on when the inductor current is low (below 8mV across from the internally generated 8V GBIAS, VBOOST = VSW + the current sense resistor RS1) to allow discontinous 8.2V when TGATE is on. mode operation. Grounding this pin disables comparator CA2. TGATE (Pin 2): Topside (Boosted) N-Channel MOSFET Driver. When TGATE is on, the voltage is equal to VSW + 6V. VAOUT (Pin 10): Voltage Amplifier Output. SW (Pin 3): Switch Node Connection to Inductor. CL+ (Pin 11): Current Limit Amplifier Positive Input. The threshold is set at 70mV. CSET (Pin 4): Oscillator Timing Pin. The capacitor on this pin sets the PWM switching frequency. CL– (Pin 12): Current Limit Amplifier Negative Input. When used, CL– is connected to the output capacitor side SYNC (Pin 5): Synchronization Input. This pin should be of the current + sense resistor and CL+ is connected to the connected to the secondary side output of the power inductor side of the current sense resistor. transformer with a series resistor. A filtering capacitor of 10pF is recommended. VCC (Pin 13): Supply of the IC. For proper bypassing, a low ESR capacitor is required. ILCOMP (Pin 6): Current Limit Amplifier Compensation Node. At current limit, CA1 pulls down on this pin to PGND (Pin 14): Ground of the Bottom Side N-Channel regulate the output current. MOSFET Driver. SS (Pin 7): Soft-Start. A capacitor on this pin sets the BGATE (Pin 15): Bottom Side N-Channel MOSFET Driver. output ramp up rate. The typical time for SS to reach the GBIAS (Pin 16): 8V Regulator Output for Boostrapping programmed level is (C • 0.8V)/10µA. VBOOST . A bypass capacitor of at least 2µF is needed. VFB (Pin 8): Voltage Amplifier Inverting Input. A resistor Exposed Pad (Pin 17): Connect to PGND (Pin 14). divider to this pin sets the output voltage. Nominal voltage at this pin is 0.8V. 3710f 5
