PGND (Pins 1, 10, 11, 20): Power Ground. Connect this
pin closely to the (–) terminal of C
IN
and C
OUT
.
R
T
(Pin 2): Oscillator Resistor Input. Connecting a resistor
to ground from this pin sets the switching frequency.
TRACK (Pin 3): Tracking Voltage Input. Applying a voltage
that is less than 0.8V to this pin enables tracking. During
tracking, the V
FB
pin will regulate to the voltage on this pin.
Do not float this pin.
RUN/SS (Pin 4): Run Control and Soft-Start Input. Forcing
this pin below 0.5V shuts down the LTC3416. In shutdown
all functions are disabled, drawing <1µA of supply current.
A capacitor to ground from this pin sets the ramp time to
full output current.
SGND (Pin 5): Signal Ground. All small-signal compo-
nents and compensation components should connect to
this ground, which in turn connects to PGND at one point.
NC (Pins 6, 15): No Connect.
PV
IN
(Pins 7, 14): Power Input Supply. Decouple this pin
to PGND with a capacitor.
SW (Pins 8, 9, 12, 13): Switch Node Connection to
Inductor. This pin connects to the drains of the internal
main and synchronous power MOSFET switches.
SV
IN
(Pin 16): Signal Input Supply. Decouple this pin to
the SGND capacitor.
PGOOD (Pin 17): Power Good Output. Open-drain logic
output that is pulled to ground when the output voltage is
not within ±7.5% of the regulation point.
I
TH
(Pin 18): Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The
current comparator threshold increases with this control
voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is from 0.2V to
1.4V with 0.4V corresponding to the zero-sense voltage
(zero current).
V
FB
(Pin 19): Feedback Pin. Receives the feedback voltage
from a resistive divider connected across the output.
Exposed Pad (Pin 21): Ground. Connect to SGND.

OPERATIO
U
Main Control Loop
The LTC3416 is a monolithic, constant frequency, current
mode step-down DC/DC converter. During normal opera-
tion, the internal top power switch (P-channel MOSFET) is
turned on at the beginning of each clock cycle. Current in
the inductor increases until the current comparator trips
and turns off the top power MOSFET. The peak inductor
current at which the current comparator shuts off the top
power switch is controlled by the voltage on the I
TH
pin.
The error amplifier adjusts the voltage on the I
TH
pin by
comparing the feedback signal from a resistor divider on
the V
FB
pin with an internal 0.8V reference. When the load
current increases, it causes a reduction in the feedback
voltage relative to the reference. The error amplifier raises
the I
TH
voltage until the average inductor current matches
the new load current. When the top power MOSFET shuts
off, the synchronous power switch (N-channel MOSFET)
turns on until either the bottom current limit is reached or
the beginning of the next clock cycle. The bottom current
limit is set at –5A.
The operating frequency is externally set by an external
resistor connected between the R
T
pin and ground. The
practical switching frequency can range from 300kHz to
4MHz.
Overvoltage and undervoltage comparators will pull the
PGOOD output low if the output voltage comes out of
regulation by ±7.5%. In an overvoltage condition, the top
