3. Shutdown pin (S-8338 Series only)
This pin stops or starts step-up operations.
Switching the shutdown pin to the “L” level stops operation of all the internal circuits and reduces the
current consumption significantly.
DO NOT use the shutdown pin in a floating state because it is not pulled up or pulled down internally.
DO NOT apply voltage of between 0.3 V and 1.8 V to the shutdown pin because applying such a
voltage increases the current consumption. If the shutdown pin is not used, connect it to the VIN pin.

4. Timer latch short-circuit protection function
This IC has a timer latch short-circuit protection circuit that stops the switching operation when the
output voltage drops for a specific time due to output short-circuiting. A capacitor (CSP) that is used
to set the delay time of this short-circuit protection circuit is connected to the CSP pin.
This IC operates at the maximum duty ratio if the output voltage drops due to output short-circuiting.
At the maximum duty ratio, constant-current charging of CSP starts. If this status lasts for a specific
time and the CSP pin voltage rises above the reference voltage (1 V), the latch mode is set. Note that
the latch mode is different from the shutdown status in that the switching operation is stopped but the
internal circuitry operates normally.
To reset the latch operation to protect the IC from short-circuiting, either lower VIN to the timer latch
reset voltage or lower or lower the level of the shutdown pin to “L”. Note that the latch operation is not
reset even if VIN falls below the UVLO voltage.
5. UVLO function
This IC includes a UVLO (under-voltage lockout) circuit to prevent the IC from malfunctioning due to a
transient status when power is applied or a momentary drop of the supply voltage. When UVLO is in
the detection state, switching is stopped and the external FET is held in the off status. Once UVLO
enters the detection state, the soft-start function is reset.
Note that the other internal circuits operate normally and that the status is different from the power-off
status.
