Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LT3574E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT3574I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range.

LT3574
pin Functions
BIAS:
Bias Voltage. This pin supplies current to the switch
driver and internal circuitry of the LT3574. This pin must
be locally bypassed with a capacitor. This pin may also be
connected to V
IN
if a third winding is not used and if V
IN
≤ 15V. If a third winding is used, the BIAS voltage should
be lower than the input voltage for proper operation.
GND:
Ground.
R
FB
: Input Pin for External Feedback Resistor. This pin is
connected to the transformer primary (V
SW
). The ratio
of this resistor to the R
REF
resistor, times the internal
bandgap reference, determines the output voltage (plus
the effect of any non-unity transformer turns ratio). The
average current through this resistor during the flyback
period should be approximately 200µA. For nonisolated
applications, this pin should be connected to V
IN
.
R
ILIM
: Maximum Current Limit Adjust Pin. A resistor
should be tied to this pin to ground to set the current
limit. Use a 10k resistor for the full current capabilities
of the switch.
R
REF
: Input Pin for External Ground-Referred Reference
Resistor. This resistor should be in the range of 6k, but
for convenience, need not be precisely this value. For
nonisolated applications, a traditional resistor voltage
divider may be connected to this pin.
SHDN/UVLO:
Shutdown/Undervoltage Lockout. A resistor
divider connected to V
IN
is tied to this pin to program the
minimum input voltage at which the LT3574 will operate.
At a voltage below ~0.7V, the part draws no quiescent
current. When below 1.22V and above ~0.7V, the part will
draw 10µA of current, but internal circuitry will remain
off. Above 1.22V, the internal circuitry will start and a 7µA
current will be fed into the SS pin. When this pin falls
below 1.22V, 2.5µA will be pulled from the pin to provide
programmable hysteresis for UVLO.
SS:
Soft-Start Pin. Place a soft-start capacitor here to
limit start-up inrush current and output voltage ramp
rate. Switching starts when the voltage at this pin reaches
~0.7V.
SW:
Collector Node of the Output Switch. This pin has
large currents flowing through it. Keep the traces to the
switching components as short as possible to minimize
electromagnetic radiation and voltage spikes.
T
C
: Output Voltage Temperature Compensation. Connect
a resistor to ground to produce a current proportional to
absolute temperature to be sourced into the R
REF
node.
I
TC
= 0.55V/R
TC
.
TEST:
This pin is used for testing purposes only and must
be connected to ground for the part to operate properly.
VC:
Compensation Pin for Internal Error Amplifier. Connect
a series RC from this pin to ground to compensate the
switching regulator. A 100pF capacitor in parallel helps
eliminate noise.
V
IN
: Input Voltage. This pin supplies current to the internal
start-up circuitry and as a reference voltage for the DCM
comparator and feedback circuitry. This pin must be locally
