PIN FUNCTIONS  
PLLLPF(Pin1):FrequencySet/PLLLowpassFilter. When  
synchronizing to an external clock, this pin serves as the  
lowpass filter point for the phase-locked loop. Normally,  
a series RC is connected between this pin and ground.  
RUN (Pin 5): Run Control Input. Forcing this pin below  
1.1V shuts down the chip. Driving this pin to V or releas-  
IN

soft-start.  
When not synchronizing to an ex ternal clock, this pin ser ves

IPRG (Pin 6): Three-State Pin to Select Maximum Peak

BG (Pin 7): Bottom (NMOS) Gate Drive Output. This pin  
drives the gate of the external N-channel MOSFET. This  
SYNC/MODE (Pin 2): This pin performs four functions:  
1) auxiliary winding feedback input, 2) external clock  
synchronization input for phase-locked loop, 3) Burst

and 4) enable spread spectrum modulation operation in  
pulse-skipping mode. Applying a clock with frequency  
between 250kHz to 750kHz causes the internal oscillator  
to phase-lock to the external clock and disables Burst  
Mode operation but allows pulse-skipping at low load  
currents.

pin is also the negative input to the differential current

Normally this pin is connected to the drain of the external

The LTC3809 uses a constant frequency, current mode  
architecture. During normal operation, the top external  
P-channel power MOSFET is turned on when the clock  
sets the RS latch, and is turned off when the current  
comparator (ICMP) resets the latch. The peak inductor  
current at which ICMP resets the RS latch is determined  
by the voltage on the I pin, which is driven by the output  
of the error amplifier (EAMP). The V pin receives the  
output voltage feedback signal from an external resistor  
divider. This feedback signal is compared to the internal  
0.6V reference voltage by the EAMP. When the load cur-

Run and Soft-Start Functions  
The LTC3809 has a low power shutdown mode which is  
controlled by the RUN pin. Pulling the RUN pin below 1.1V
