LTC1626
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
3. Is the input decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) connected
closely between power VIN (Pins 1, 13) and power
ground (Pin 12)? This capacitor carries the high fre-
quency peak currents.
4. Is the Schottky diode closely connected between the
power ground (Pin 12) and switch output (Pin 14)?
5. Does the LTC1626 SENSE– (Pin 7) connect to a point
close to RSENSE and the (+) plate of COUT? The resistor
divider R1-R2 must be connected between the (+) plate
of COUT and the signal ground.
6. Are the SENSE – and SENSE+ leads routed together with
minimum PC trace spacing? The 1000pF capacitor
between Pin 7 and Pin 8 should be as close as possible
to the LTC1626.
7. Is SHDN (Pin 10) actively pulled to ground during
normal operation? The shutdown pin is high imped-
ance and must not be allowed to float.
