APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
stage is biased with internal resistors from an internal 2.4V
source as shown in the Functional Diagram. This requires
that current either be sourced or sunk from the SENSE
pins depending on the output voltage. If the output voltage
is below 2.4V current will fl ow out of both SENSE pins to
the main output. The output can be easily preloaded by
the V
comparator’s negative input bias current. The maximum
current fl owing out of each pair of SENSE pins is:
Since V
we can choose R1 in Figure 2 to have a maximum value
to absorb this current.
Regulating an output voltage of 1.8V, the maximum value
of R1 should be 32k. Note that for an output voltage above
2.4V, R1 has no maximum value necessary to absorb the
sense currents; however, R1 is still bounded by the V
feedback current.
Soft-Start/Run Function
The RUN/SS1 and RUN/SS2 pins are multipurpose pins that
provide a soft-start function and a means to shut down the
LTC3728L-1. Soft-start reduces the input power source’s
surge currents by gradually increasing the controller’s
current limit (proportional to V
used for power supply sequencing.
An internal 1.2μA current source charges up the C
tor
the particular controller is permitted to start operating. As
the voltage on RUN/SS increases from 1.5V to 3.0V, the
internal current limit is increased from 25mV/R

taking an additional 1.25s/μF to reach full current. The
output current thus ramps up slowly, reducing the start-
ing surge current required from the input power supply.
If RUN/SS has been pulled all the way to ground there is
a delay before starting of approximately:
By pulling both RUN/SS pins below 1V, the IC is put into

Each RUN/SS pin has an internal 6V zener clamp (See
Functional Diagram). Because the LTC3728L-1 is designed
for applications not requiring over current latchoff, no
pull-up resistor is required on the RUN/SS pin to defeat
latchoff. Refer to the LTC3728L/LTC3728LX datasheet if
this feature is required.
