PIN FUNCTIONS
LTC3857
SENSE1
Differential Current Comparators. When greater than
INTV
current comparator.
FREQ (Pin 2): The frequency control pin for the internal
VCO. Connecting the pin to GND forces the VCO to a fixed
low frequency of 350kHz. Connecting the pin to INTV
forces the VCO to a fixed high frequency of 535kHz.
Other frequencies between 50kHz and 900kHz can be
programmed using a resistor between FREQ and GND.
An internal 20μA pull-up current develops the voltage to
be used by the VCO to control the frequency
PHASMD (Pin 3): Control Input to Phase Selector which
determines the phase relationships between control-
ler 1, controller 2 and the CLKOUT signal. Pulling this
pin to ground forces TG2 and CLKOUT to be out of phase
180° and 60° with respect to TG1. Connecting this pin to
INTV
and 120° with respect to TG1. Floating this pin forces TG2
and CLKOUT to be out of phase 180° and 90° with respect
to TG1. Refer to Table 1.
CLKOUT (Pin 4): Output clock signal available to daisy-
chain other controller ICs for additional MOSFET driver
stages/phases. The output levels swing from INTV
ground.
PLLIN/MODE (Pin 5): External Synchronization Input to
Phase Detector and Forced Continuous Mode Input. When
an external clock is applied to this pin, the phase-locked
loop will force the rising TG1 signal to be synchronized
with the rising edge of the external clock. When not syn-
chronizing to an external clock, this input, which acts on
both controllers, determines how the LTC3857 operates
at light loads. Pulling this pin to ground selects Burst
Mode operation. An internal 100k resistor to ground also
invokes Burst Mode operation when the pin is floated.
Tying this pin to INTV
operation. Tying this pin to a voltage greater than 1.2V and
less than INTV
This can be done by adding a 100k resistor between the
PLLIN/MODE pin and INTV

SGND (Pin 6, Exposed Pad Pin 33): Small-signal ground
common to both controllers, must be routed separately
from high current grounds to the common (–) terminals
of the C
to the PCB for rated thermal performance.
RUN1, RUN2 (Pin 7, Pin 8): Digital Run Control Inputs for
Each Controller. Forcing either of these pins below 1.26V
shuts down that controller. Forcing both of these pins below
0.7V shuts down the entire LTC3857, reducing quiescent
current to approximately 8μA. Do not float these pins.
INTV
Regulator. The driver and control circuits are powered
from this voltage source. Must be decoupled to power
ground with a minimum of 4.7μF ceramic or other low
ESR capacitor. Do not use the INTV
purpose.
