compensation, current limiting and soft start. It is the
output of the error amplifier and the input of the current
comparator. Loop frequency compensation can be per-
formed with an RC network connected from the V
ground.
FB (Pin 2): The Feedback pin is used for positive output
voltage sensing and oscillator frequency shifting. It is the
inverting input to the error amplifier. The noninverting
input of this amplifier is internally tied to a 1.245V
reference. Load on the FB pin should not exceed 250 A
when the NFB pin is used. See Applications Information.
NFB (Pin 3): The Negative Feedback pin is used for
negative output voltage sensing. It is connected to the
inverting input of the negative feedback amplifier through
a 100k source resistor.
S/S (Pin 4): Shutdown and Synchronization Pin. The S/S
pin is logic level compatible. Shutdown is active low and
the shutdown threshold is typically 1.3V. For normal
operation, pull the S/S pin high, tie it to V
floating. To synchronize switching, drive the S/S pin be-
tween 600kHz and 800kHz (LT1372) or 1.2MHz to 1.6MHz
(LT1377).

GND S (Pin 6): The ground sense pin is a “clean” ground.
The internal reference, error amplifier and negative feed-
back amplifier are referred to the ground sense pin. Con-
nect it to ground. Keep the ground path connection to the
output resistor divider and the V
free of large ground currents.
GND (Pin 7): The ground pin is the emitter connection of
the power switch and has large currents flowing through it.
It should be connected directly to a good quality ground
plane.
