LTC3728 PIN FUNCTIONS INTVCC (Pin 21/Pin 20): Output of the Internal 5V Linear are connected between the boost and switch pins and Low Dropout Regulator and the EXTVCC Switch. The driver Schottky diodes are tied between the boost and INTVCC and control circuits are powered from this voltage source. pins. Voltage swing at the boost pins is from INTVCC to Must be decoupled to power ground with a minimum of (VIN + INTVCC). 4.7μF tantalum or other low ESR capacitor. SW1, SW2 (Pins 26, 17/Pins 25, 15): Switch Node EXTVCC (Pin 22/Pin 21): External Power Input to an Connections to Inductors. Voltage swing at these pins Internal Switch Connected to INTVCC. This switch closes is from a Schottky diode (external) voltage drop below and supplies VCC power, bypassing the internal low drop- ground to VIN. out regulator, whenever EXTVCC is higher than 4.7V.
