PIN FUNCTIONS
FB (Pin 1): Positive and Negative Feedback Pin. For a
boost or inverting converter, tie a resistor from the FB pin
to V

VC (Pin 2): Error Amplifier Output Pin. Tie external
compensation network to this pin.

IN
(Pin 3): Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed.
SW (Pin 4): Switch Pin. This is the collector of the internal
NPN Power switch. Minimize the metal trace area connec-
ted to this pin to minimize EMI.
SHDN (Pin 5): Shutdown Pin. In conjunction with the
UVLO (undervoltage lockout) circuit, this pin is used
to enable/disable the chip and restart the soft-start
sequence. Drive below 1.24V (LT3580E, LT3580I) or 1.22V
(LT3580H, LT3580MP) to disable the chip. Drive above
1.38V (LT3580E, LT3580I) or 1.40V (LT3580H, LT3580MP)
to activate chip and restart the soft-start sequence. Do
not float this pin.
RT (Pin 6): Timing Resistor Pin. Adjusts the switching
frequency. Place a resistor from this pin to ground to set
the frequency to a fixed free running level. Do not float
this pin.
SS (Pin 7): Soft-Start Pin. Place a soft-start capacitor here.
Upon start-up, the SS pin will be charged by a (nominally)
275k resistor to about 2.2V.
SYNC (Pin 8): To synchronize the switching frequency to
an outside clock, simply drive this pin with a clock. The
high voltage level of the clock needs to exceed 1.3V, and
the low level should be less 0.4V. Drive this pin to less than
0.4V to revert to the internal free running clock. See the
Applications Information section for more information.
GND (Exposed Pad Pin 9): Ground. Exposed pad must
be soldered directly to local ground plane.
