Connect the feedback resistor divider Pad Pin 17): Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered tap to this pin. The two FB pins on the MSE package are to the PCB. connected internally and provide a redundant path for the SW (Pin 6/Pin 9): The SW pin is the output of an internal feedback divider. Tie the divider to both pins. power switch. Connect this pin to the inductor. VOUT (Pins 1, 2, LT3990-X Only): The LT3990-3.3 and BOOST (Pin 7/Pin 11): This pin is used to provide a drive LT3990-5 regulate the VOUT pin to 3.3V and 5V, respec- voltage, higher than the input voltage, to the internal bipolar tively. This pin connects to the internal feedback divider NPN power switch. that programs the fixed output voltage. The two VOUT pins are connected internally and provide a redundant path to BD (Pin 8/Pin 13): This pin connects to the anode of the the output. Tie the output to both pins. boost diode. This pin also supplies current to the LT3990’s internal regulator when BD is above 3.2V. EN/UVLO (Pin 2/Pin 4): The part is in shutdown when this pin is low and active when this pin is high. The threshold PG (Pin 9/Pin 14): The PG pin is the open-drain output of voltage is 1.19V going up with 35mV of hysteresis. Tie to an internal comparator. PG remains low until the FB pin VIN if shutdown feature is not used. The EN/UVLO threshold is within 10% of the final regulation voltage. PG is valid is accurate only when VIN is above 4.2V. If VIN is lower when VIN is above 4.2V and EN/UVLO is high. than 4.2V, ground EN/UVLO to place the part in shutdown. RT (Pin 10/Pin 16): A resistor is tied between RT and VIN (Pin 3/Pin 6): The VIN pin supplies current to the ground to set the switching frequency. LT3990’s internal circuitry and to the internal power switch. NC (Pins 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, MSOP Only): No Connects. This pin must be locally bypassed. These pins are not connected to internal circuitry and must be left floating to ensure fault tolerance. 3990fa 7 Document Outline Features Applications Description Typical Application Absolute Maximum Ratings Pin Configuration Order Information Electrical Characteristics Typical Performance Characteristics Pin Functions Block Diagram Operation Applications Information Typical Applications Package Description Revision History Typical Application Related Parts
