LT8580 PIN FUNCTIONSFBX (Pin 1): Positive and Negative Feedback Pin. For a sequence. Drive below 1.21V to disable the chip. Drive noninverting or inverting converter, tie a resistor from the above 1.40V to activate the chip and restart the soft-start FBX pin to VOUT according to the following equations: sequence. Do not float this pin. (V RT (Pin 6): Timing Resistor Pin. Adjusts the switching R OUT − 1.204V) FBX = ; Noninverting Converter 83.3µA frequency. Place a resistor from this pin to ground to set the frequency to a fixed free running level. Do not float V R OUT + 3mV ( ) this pin. FBX = ; Inverting Converter 83.3µA SS (Pin 7): Soft-Start Pin. Place a soft-start capacitor here. VC (Pin 2): Error Amplifier Output Pin. Tie external com- Upon start-up, the SS pin will be charged by a (nominally) pensation network to this pin. 280k resistor to about 2.1V. VSYNC (Pin 8): To synchronize the switching frequency to IN (Pin 3): Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed. an outside clock, simply drive this pin with a clock. The SW (Pin 4): Switch Pin. This is the collector of the internal high voltage level of the clock needs to exceed 1.3V, and NPN Power switch. Minimize the metal trace area connec- the low level should be less 0.4V. Drive this pin to less ted to this pin to minimize EMI. than 0.4V to revert to the internal free-running clock. See SHDN (Pin 5): Shutdown Pin. In conjunction with the the Applications Information section for more information. UVLO (undervoltage lockout) circuit, this pin is used GND (Exposed Pad Pin 9): Ground. Exposed pad must to enable/disable the chip and restart the soft-start be soldered directly to local ground plane.
