LT3013
PIN FUNCTIONS (DFN Package)/(TSSOP Package)
NC (Pins 1, 9, 12)/(Pins 2, 12, 15): No Connect. These
pins have no internal connection; connecting NC pins to a
copper area for heat dissipation provides a small improve-
ment in thermal performance.
OUT (Pins 2, 3)/(Pins 3, 4): Output. The output supplies
power to the load. A minimum output capacitor of 3.3μF
is required to prevent oscillations. Larger output capaci-
tors will be required for applications with large transient
loads to limit peak voltage transients. See the Applications
Information section for more information on output ca-
pacitance and reverse output characteristics.
ADJ (Pin 4)/(Pin 5): Adjust. This is the input to the error
amplifier. This pin is internally clamped to ±7V. It has a
bias current of 30nA which flows into the pin (see curve
of ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature in the Typical
Performance Characteristics). The ADJ pin voltage is
1.24V referenced to ground, and the output voltage range
is 1.24V to 60V.
GND (Pins 5, 13)/(Pins 1, 6, 8, 9, 16, 17): Ground. The
exposed backside of the package is an electrical connection
for GND. As such, to ensure optimum device operation and
thermal performance, the exposed pad must be connected
directly to pin 5/pin 6 on the PC board.
PWRGD (Pin 6)/(Pin 7): Power Good. The PWRGD flag is
an open collector flag to indicate that the output voltage
has come up to above 90% of the nominal output voltage.
There is no internal pull-up on this pin; a pull-up resistor
must be used. The PWRGD pin will change state from an
open-collector to high impedance after both the output is
above 90% of the nominal voltage and the capacitor on
the CT pin has charged through a 1.6V differential. The
maximum pull-down current of the PWRGD pin in the
low state is 50μA.
⎯S⎯H⎯D⎯N (Pin 8)/(Pin 11): Shutdown. The ⎯S⎯H⎯D⎯N pin is used
to put the LT3013 into a low power shutdown state. The
output will be off when the ^⎯S^⎯H^⎯D^⎯N pin is pulled low. The
S⎯ H⎯ D⎯ N⎯ pin can be driven either by 5V logic or open-collector
logic with a pull-up resistor. The pull-up resistor is only
required to supply the pull-up current of the open-collec-
tor gate, normally several microamperes. If unused, the
⎯S⎯H⎯D⎯N pin must be tied to a logic high or V_IN.
C_T (Pin 7)/(Pin 10): Timing Capacitor. The C_T pin allows
the use of a small capacitor to delay the timing between
the point where the output crosses the PWRGD thresh-
old and the PWRGD flag changes to a high impedance
state. Current out of this pin during the charging phase
is 3μA. The voltage difference between the PWRGD low
and PWRGD high states is 1.6V (see the Applications
Information Section).
IN (Pins 10, 11)/(Pins 13,14): Input. Power is supplied
to the device through the IN pin. A bypass capacitor is
required on this pin if the device is more than six inches
away from the main input filter capacitor. In general, the
output impedance of a battery rises with frequency, so it is
advisable to include a bypass capacitor in battery-powered
circuits. A bypass capacitor in the range of 1μF to 10μF
is sufficient. The LT3013 is designed to withstand reverse
voltages on the IN pin with respect to ground and the OUT
pin. In the case of a reversed input, which can happen if
a battery is plugged in backwards, the LT3013 will act as
if there is a diode in series with its input. There will be no
reverse current flow into the LT3013 and no reverse volt-
age will appear at the load. The device will protect both
itself and the load.
