LTC7103-1
PIN FUNCTIONS
RUN (Pin 3): Run Control Input. Holding this pin below
1.1V shuts off the switching regulator. Holding this pin
below 0.7V reduces the quiescent current to approxi-
mately 0.7µA. Place a resistor divider between VIN and
this pin to use as an undervoltage lockout. Tie this pin to
When not synchronizing to an external clock, this input
determines how the LTC7103-1 operates at light loads. Tie
this pin to SGND or float to select Burst Mode operation or
to INTV to force continuous inductor current operation.

pulse-skipping operation. This pin sinks 10μA to SGND.
SGND (Pin 6): Signal Ground.
CLKOUT (Pin 13): Output clock signal available to syn-
chronize additional regulators for parallel operation. The
rising edge of CLKOUT is 180° out of phase with respect
to the rising edge of the SW pin. The output level swings

on this pin exceeds 1.21V, then the switching regulator
is shut down and the SS pin is internally grounded. Tie

varies with the switching frequency. Place a resistor to

lation. When the output is not in regulation, the PGOOD
pin is pulled low.
SS (Pin 15): Soft-Start and Regulator Timeout Input. The
voltage on the SS pin limits the regulated output voltage
when the SS voltage is less than 1V. An internal 11μA
pull-up current source is connected to this pin. A capaci-
tor to ground at this pin sets the ramp time to final regu-
lated output voltage. Leave this pin floating to use the
internal 1.2ms soft-start ramp. The SS pin also serves

peak current limit tracks 1.2A above the average current
limit set point. Tie this pin to a voltage between 0.4V and
1.3V to program the average output current to a value
between 0A and 2.5A. An internal 20μA pull-up on this
pin allows a single resistor to SGND to be used to set the

PLLIN/MODE (Pin 12): External Synchronization Input
to Phase Detector and Burst Mode Control Input. When
an external clock is applied to this pin, the phase-locked
loop will force the rising edge of the SW signal to be
synchronized with the rising edge of the external clock,
and the LTC7103-1 operates in forced continuous mode.
