LT3791-1 pin FuncTionsCTRL (Pin 1): Output Current Sense Threshold Adjustment EN/UVLO (Pin 9): Enable Control Pin. Forcing an accurate Pin. Regulating threshold V(ISP-ISN) is 1/10th of (VCTRL – 1.2V falling threshold with an externally programmable 200mV). CTRL linear range is from 200mV to 1.1V. For hysteresis is generated by the external resistor divider VCTRL > 1.3V, the current sense threshold is constant at and a 3µA pull-down current. Above the 1.2V (typical) the full-scale value of 100mV. For 1.1V < VCTRL < 1.3V, the threshold (but below 6V), EN/UVLO input bias current is dependence of the current sense threshold upon VCTRL tran- sub-µA. Below the falling threshold, a 3µA pull-down cur- sitions from a linear function to a constant value, reaching rent is enabled so the user can define the hysteresis with 98% of full scale by VCTRL = 1.2V. Connect CTRL to VREF the external resistor selection. An undervoltage condition for the 100mV default threshold. Force less than 175mV resets soft-start. Tie to 0.3V, or less, to disable the device (typical) to stop switching. Do not leave this pin open. and reduce VIN quiescent current below 1µA.
