LT8607/LT8607B PIN FUNCTIONS BST: This pin is used to provide a drive voltage, higher TR/SS (MSOP Only): Output Tracking and Soft-Start Pin. than the input voltage, to the topside power switch. Place This pin allows user control of output voltage ramp rate a 0.1µF boost capacitor as close as possible to the IC. Do during start-up. A TR/SS voltage below 0.778V forces the not place a resistor in series with this pin. LT8607 to regulate the FB pin to equal the TR/SS pin volt- SW: The SW pin is the output of the internal power age. The LT8607-5 will track the TR/SS pin voltage based switches. Connect this pin to the inductor and boost on a factor set by the internal resistor divider. The part capacitor. This node should be kept small on the PCB for will track to 6.43 times the TR/SS voltage. When TR/SS good performance. is above 0.778V, the tracking function is disabled and the internal reference resumes control of the error amplifier. INTVCC: Internal 3.5V Regulator Bypass Pin. The internal An internal 2µA pull-up current from INTVCC on this pin power drivers and control circuits are powered from this allows a capacitor to program output voltage slew rate. voltage. INTVCC max output current is 20mA. Voltage on This pin is pulled to ground with a 300Ω MOSFET dur- INTVCC will vary between 2.8V and 3.5V. Decouple this ing shutdown and fault conditions; use a series resistor pin to power ground with at least a 1µF low ESR ceramic if driving from a low impedance output. There is no TR/ capacitor. Do not load the INTVCC pin with external circuitry.

When synchronizing, the RT resistor PG: The PG pin is the open-drain output of an internal should be chosen to set the LT8607 switching frequency comparator. PG remains low until the FB pin is within to equal or below the lowest synchronization input. ±8.5% of the final regulation voltage, and there are no SYNC (MSOP Only): External Clock Synchronization fault conditions. PG is valid when VIN is above 3.2V and Input. Ground this pin for low ripple Burst Mode operation when EN/UV is high. PG is pulled low when VIN is above at low output loads.

Tie VIN: The VIN pin supplies current to the LT8607 internal to INTVCC or tie to a voltage between 3.2V and 5.0V for circuitry and to the internal topside power switch.

Be sure to place the positive When in pulse-skipping mode, the IQ regulating no load terminal of the input capacitor as close as possible to the will increase to several mA. There is no SYNC pin on VIN pins, and the negative capacitor terminal as close as the LT8607 DFN package. The LT8607 DFN internal y possible to the GND pins. ties SYNC to ground.
