RUN/SS (Pin 1): Run Control and Soft-Start Input. A
capacitor to ground at this pin sets the ramp time to full
output current (approximately 3s/µF) and the time delay
for overcurrent latchoff (see Applications Information).
Forcing this pin below 0.8V shuts down the device.
VFB2 (Pin 12): Boost Converter Feedback. The VFB2 pin is
connected to INTVCC through a resistor divider to set the
voltage on INTVCC. Set INTVCC voltage according to:
VINTVCC = 1.23V(1 + RF4/RF3)
SW2 (Pin 13): Boost Converter Switch Pin. Connect
inductor/diode for boost converter portion here. Minimize
trace area at this pin to keep EMI down.

ON (Pin 2): On-Time Voltage Input. Voltage trip point for
the on-time comparator. Tying this pin to the output
voltage makes the on-time proportional to VOUT. The
comparatorinputdefaultsto0.7Vwhenthepinisgrounded,
2.4V when the pin is tied to INTVCC.
PGND (Pins 14, 19): Power Ground. Connect these pins
closely to the source of the bottom N-channel MOSFET,
the (–) terminal of CVCC and the (–) terminal of CIN.
PGOOD (Pin 3): Power Good Output. Open-drain logic
output that is pulled to ground when the output voltage is
not within ±7.5% of the regulation point.
VIN2 (Pin 15): Input Supply Pin for Boost Converter
Portion of LTC3713. Must be locally bypassed.
VIN1 (Pin 16): Main Input Supply. Decouple this pin to
PGND with an RC filter (1Ω, 0.1µF).
VRNG (Pin 4): Sense Voltage Range Input. The voltage at
this pin is ten times the nominal sense voltage at maxi-
mum output current and can be set from 0.5V to 2V by a
resistive divider from INTVCC. The nominal sense voltage
defaults to 70mV when this pin is tied to ground, 140mV
when tied to INTVCC.
INTVCC (Pin17):InternalRegulatorOutput.Thedriverand
control circuits are powered from this voltage. Decouple
thispintopowergroundwithaminimumof4.7µFlowESR
tantalum or ceramic capacitor.
FCB (Pin 5): Forced Continuous Input. Tie this pin to
ground to force continuous synchronous operation at low
load, to INTVCC to enable discontinuous mode operation

when using a secondary winding.
BG (Pin 18): Bottom Gate Drive. Drives the gate of the
bottom N-channel MOSFET between ground and INTVCC.
SENSE– (Pin 20): Negative Current Sense Comparator
Input. The (–) input to the current comparator is normally
connected to power ground unless using a resistive di-
vider from INTVCC (see Applications Information).
SENSE+ (Pin 21): Positive Current Sense Comparator
Input. The (+) input to the current comparator is normally
connected to the SW1 node unless using a sense resistor
(see Applications Information).
ITH (Pin 6): Current Control Threshold and Error Amplifier
Compensation Point. The current comparator threshold
increases with this control voltage. The voltage ranges
from 0V to 2.4V with 0.8V corresponding to zero sense
voltage (zero current).
SGND (Pins 7, 11): Signal Ground. All small-signal com-
ponentsandcompensationcomponentsshouldconnectto
this ground, which in turn connects to PGND at one point.
SW1 (Pin 22): Switch Node. The (–) terminal of the
bootstrap capacitor CB connects here. This pin swings
from a diode voltage drop below ground up to VIN.
ION (Pin 8): On-Time Current Input. Tie a resistor from VIN
tothispintosettheone-shottimercurrentandtherebyset
the switching frequency.
TG (Pin 23): Top Gate Drive. Drives the top N-channel
MOSFET with a voltage swing equal to INTVCC superim-
posed on the switch node voltage SW1.
VFB1 (Pin 9): Error Amplifier Feedback Input. This pin
BOOST (Pin 24): Boosted Floating Driver Supply. The (+)
terminal of the bootstrap capacitor CB connects here. This
pin swings from a diode voltage drop below INTVCC up to
VIN + INTVCC.

divider from VOUT
.
SHDN (Pin 10): Shutdown, Active Low. Tie to 1V or more
to enable boost converter portion of the LTC3713. Ground
