OSC
: External capacitor C
OSC
from this pin to ground sets
the operating frequency.
RUN/SS: Combination of Soft-Start and Run Control In-
puts. A capacitor to ground at this pin sets the ramp time
to full output current. The time is approximately 1.25s/µF.
Forcing this pin below 1.5V causes the device to shut
down. (See Applications Information section for quiescent
current note.) In shutdown all functions, including INTV
CC
,
are disabled. Latchoff overcurrent protection is also in-
voked via this pin as described in the Applications Infor-
mation section.
I
TH
: Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The current
comparator threshold increases with this control voltage.
Nominal voltage range for this pin is 0V to 2.4V.
FCB: Forced Continuous/Synchronization Input. Tie this
pin to ground for continuous synchronous operation, to a
resistive divider from the secondary output when using a
secondary winding or to INTV
CC
to enable Burst Mode
operation at low load currents. Clocking this pin with a
signal above 1.5V
P–P
disables Burst Mode operation but
allows cycle-skipping at low load currents and synchro-
nizes the internal oscillator with the external clock. The
FCB pin must not be driven when the device is shut down
(RUN/SS pin low).
SGND: Small-Signal Ground. All small-signal components
such as C
OSC
, C
SS
, the feedback divider plus the loop com-
pensation resistor and capacitor(s) should single-point tie
to this pin. This pin should, in turn, connect to PGND.

PGOOD (LTC1735F Only): Open-Drain Logic Output.
PGOOD is pulled to ground when the voltage on the

EXTV

: Input to the Internal Switch Connected to INTV

.
This switch closes and supplies V

is higher than 4.7V. See EXTV

Applications Information section. Do not exceed 7V on
this pin and ensure EXTV

PGND: Driver Power Ground. Connects to the source of
bottom N-channel MOSFET, the anode of the Schottky
diode, and the (–) terminal of C

ground to INTV

INTV
CC
: Output of the Internal 5.2V Regulator and EXTV

Switch. The driver and control circuits are powered from
this voltage. Decouple to power ground with a 1µF ceramic
capacitor placed directly adjacent to the IC together with a
minimum of 4.7µF tantalum or other low ESR capacitor.
V
IN
: Main Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled to power
ground.
SW: Switch Node Connection to Inductor and Bootstrap
Capacitor. Voltage swing at this pin is from a Schottky
diode (external) voltage drop below ground to V

BOOST: Supply to Topside Floating Driver. The bootstrap
capacitor is returned to this pin. Voltage swing at this pin
is from a diode drop below INTV

to (V

TG: High Current Gate Drive for Top N-Channel MOSFET.
This is the output of a floating driver with a voltage swing

OPERATIO
U
(Refer to Functional Diagram)
Main Control Loop
The LTC1735 uses a constant frequency, current mode
step-down architecture. During normal operation, the top
MOSFET is turned on each cycle when the oscillator sets
the RS latch and turned off when the main current
comparator I
1
resets the RS latch. The peak inductor
current at which I
1
resets the RS latch is controlled by the
voltage on Pin 3 (I
TH
), which is the output of error
amplifier EA. Pin␣ 6 (V
OSENSE
), described in the pin func-
tions, allows EA to receive an output feedback voltage V
FB
from an external resistive divider. When the load current
increases, it causes a slight decrease in V
FB
relative to the
0.8V refer
ence, which in turn causes the I
TH
voltage to
increase until the average inductor current matches the
new load current. While the top MOSFET is off, the bottom
MOSFET is turned on until either the inductor current
starts to reverse, as indicated by current comparator I
2
, or
the beginning of the next cycle.
The top MOSFET driver is powered from a floating boot-
strap capacitor C
B
. This capacitor is normally recharged
from INTV
CC
through an external diode when the top
MOSFET is turned off. As V
IN
decreases towards V
OUT
, the
converter will attempt to turn on the top MOSFET continu-
ously (“dropout’’). A dropout counter detects this condi-
tion and forces the top MOSFET to turn off for about 500ns
every tenth cycle to recharge the bootstrap capacitor.
