LTC3103 PIN FUNCTIONSVIN (Pin 1): Main Supply Pin. Decouple with a 10µF or RUN (Pin 7): Run Pin Comparator Input. A voltage greater larger ceramic capacitor. The capacitor should be as close than 0.85V will enable the IC. Tie this pin to VIN to enable to the part as possible. the IC or connect to an external resistor divider from VIN SW (Pin 2): Switch Pin Connects to the Inductor. This pin to provide an accurate undervoltage lockout threshold. connects to the drains of the internal main and synchronous 60mV of hysteresis is provided internally. power MOSFET switches.

Connect to SW through a 22nF (minimum) output voltage. capacitor. The capacitor must be connected between BST NC (Pin 9): No Connect Pin Must be Tied to GND. and SW and be located as close as possible to the part MODE (Pin 10): Logic-Controlled Input to Select Mode as possible. of Operation. Forcing this pin high commands high ef- GND (Pin 4): Power Ground. ficiency automatic Burst Mode operation where the buck PGOOD (Pin 5): Open-drain output that is pulled to ground will automatically transition from PWM operation at heavy when the feedback voltage falls 10% (typical) below the load to Burst Mode operation at light loads. Forcing this regulation point, during a thermal shutdown event or if pin low commands low noise, fixed frequency, forced the converter is disabled. The PGOOD output is valid 1ms continuous operation. after the buck converter is enabled. GND (Exposed Pad Pin 11): Backpad Ground Common.

IN to power control circuitry. Decouple with a 1µF or larger ceramic capacitor placed as close to the part as possible. 3103fa For more information www.linear.com/LTC3103 7 Document Outline Features Applications Description Typical Application Absolute Maximum Ratings Pin Configuration Order Information Electrical Characteristics Pin Functions Block Diagram Operation Applications Information Typical Applications Package Description Typical Application Related Parts
