LTC3803-3 PIN FUNCTIONSITH/RUN (Pin 1): This pin performs two functions. It SENSE (Pin 4): This pin performs two functions. It monitors serves as the error amplifi er compensation point as well switch current by reading the voltage across an external as the run/shutdown control input. Nominal voltage range current sense resistor to ground. It also injects a current is 0.7V to 1.9V. Forcing this pin below the shutdown ramp that develops slope compensation voltage across threshold (VITHSHDN) causes the LTC3803-3 to shut down. an optional external programming resistor. In shutdown mode, the NGATE pin is held low. VCC (Pin 5): Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled to GND (Pin 2): Ground Pin. GND (Pin 2). VFB (Pin 3): Receives the feedback voltage from an external NGATE (Pin 6): Gate Drive for the External N-Channel resistive divider across the output. MOSFET. This pin swings from 0V to VCC.
