LT3493 PIN FUNCTIONSFB (Pin 1): The LT3493 regulates its feedback pin to VIN (Pin 5): The VIN pin supplies current to the LT3493’s 780mV. Connect the feedback resistor divider tap to this internal regulator and to the internal power switch. This pin. Set the output voltage according to VOUT = 0.78V • pin must be locally bypassed. (1 + R1/R2). A good value for R2 is 10k. SHDN (Pin 6): The SHDN pin is used to put the LT3493 in GND (Pin 2): Tie the GND pin to a local ground plane shutdown mode. Tie to ground to shut down the LT3493. below the LT3493 and the circuit components. Return the Tie to 2.3V or more for normal operation. If the shutdown feedback divider to this pin. feature is not used, tie this pin to the VIN pin. SHDN also BOOST (Pin 3): The BOOST pin is used to provide a drive provides a soft-start function; see the Applications Infor- voltage, higher than the input voltage, to the internal bipolar mation section. NPN power switch. Exposed Pad (Pin 7): The Exposed Pad must be soldered SW (Pin 4): The SW pin is the output of the internal power to the PCB and electrically connected to ground. Use a switch. Connect this pin to the inductor, catch diode and large ground plane and thermal vias to optimize thermal boost capacitor. performance.
