When an external clock is applied to this pin, the the output. phase-locked loop will force the rising TG signal to be ITH (Pin 8/Pin 10): Error Amplifier Outputs and Switching synchronized with the rising edge of the external clock, Regulator Compensation Point. The current comparator and the regulator operates in forced continuous mode. trip point increases with this control voltage. When not synchronizing to an external clock, this input determines how the LTC3807 operates at light loads. Pull- PGOOD (Pin 9/Pin 11): Open-Drain Logic Output. PGOOD ing this pin to ground selects Burst Mode operation. An is pulled to ground when the voltage on the VFB pin is not internal 100k resistor to ground also invokes Burst Mode within 10% of its set point. operation when the pin is floated. Tying this pin to INTVCC TG (Pin 10/Pin 12): High Current Gate Drives for Top forces continuous inductor current operation. Tying this N-channel MOSFET. This is the output of floating driver pin to a voltage greater than 1.2V and less than INTVCC with a voltage swing equal to INTV –1.3V selects pulse-skipping operation.
