OPERATION Power Good Status Output Short-Circuit Protection
The PGOOD pin is an open-drain output which indicates When the output is shorted to ground, the error amplifier the output voltage status of the step-down converter. If the will saturate high and the high side switch will turn on at output voltage falls 10% below the regulation voltage, the the start of each cycle and remain on until the current limit PGOOD open-drain output will pull low. A built-in deglitch- trips. During this minimum on-time, the inductor current ing delay prevents false trips due to voltage transients on will increase rapidly and will decrease very slowly during load steps. The output voltage must rise 2% above the the remainder of the period due to the very small reverse falling threshold before the pull-down will turn off. The voltage produced by a hard output short. To eliminate the PGOOD output will also pull low during overtemperature possibility of inductor current runaway in this situation, the shutdown and undervoltage lockout to indicate these fault switching frequency is reduced to approximately 300kHz conditions. The PGOOD output is valid 1ms after the buck when the voltage on FB falls below 0.3V. converter is enabled. When the converter is disabled the open-drain device is forced on into a low impedance state.
BST Pin Function

In the boost capacitor to guarantee start-up after long sleep some current mode ICs, current limiting is performed by periods or if starting up into a pre-biased output. clamping the error amplifier voltage to a fixed maximum which leads to a reduced output current capability at low

The current (typical), the converter will be disabled. The soft-start for limiting function is completed prior to the addition of the the converter will be reset during undervoltage lockout to compensation ramp and therefore achieves a peak inductor provide a smooth restart once the input voltage increases current limit that is independent of duty cycle. above the undervoltage lockout threshold. The RUN pin can alternatively be configured as a precise undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on the VIN supply with a resistive divider connected to the RUN pin. 3103fa 10 For more information www.linear.com/LTC3103 Document Outline Features Applications Description Typical Application Absolute Maximum Ratings Pin Configuration Order Information Electrical Characteristics Pin Functions Block Diagram Operation Applications Information Typical Applications Package Description Typical Application Related Parts
