pin Functions
LT3070
VIOC (Pin 1): Voltage for In-to-Out Control. The IC in-
corporates a unique tracking function to control a buck
regulator powering the LT3070’s input. The VIOC pin is
the output of this tracking function that drives the buck
regulator to maintain the LT3070’s input voltage at V
300mV. This function maximizes efficiency and minimizes
power dissipation. See the Applications Information sec-
tion for more information on proper control of the buck
regulator.
PWRGD (Pin 2): Power Good. The PWRGD pin is an open-
drain NMOS output that actively pulls low if any one of
these fault modes is detected:
• V
• V
• Junction temperature typically exceeds 145°C.
• V
• The OUT-to-IN reverse-current detector activates.
See the Applications Information section for more infor-
mation on PWRGD fault modes.
REF/BYP (Pin 3): Reference Filter. The pin is the output
of the bandgap reference and has an impedance of ap-
proximately 19kΩ. This pin must not be externally loaded.
Bypassing the REF/BYP pin to GND with a 10nF capacitor
decreases output voltage noise and provides a soft-start
function to the reference. LTC recommends the use of a
high quality, low leakage capacitor. See the Applications
Information section for more information on noise and
output voltage margining considerations.
GND (Pins 4, 9-14, 20, 26, 29): Ground. The exposed pad
(Pin 29) of the QFN package is an electrical connection to
GND. To ensure proper electrical and thermal performance,
solder Pin 29 to the PCB ground and tie to all GND pins
of the package. These GND pins are fused to the internal
die attach paddle and the exposed pad to optimize heat
sinking and thermal resistance characteristics. See the Ap-
plications Information section for thermal considerations
and calculating junction temperature.

IN (Pins 5, 6, 7, 8): Input Supply. These pins supply
power to the high current pass transistor. Tie all IN pins
together for proper performance. The LT3070 requires a
bypass capacitor at IN to maintain stability and low input
impedance over frequency. A 47µF input bypass capacitor
suffices for most battery and power plane impedances.
Minimizing input trace inductance optimizes performance.
Applications that operate with low V
voltages and that have large, fast load transients may require
much higher input capacitor requirements to prevent the
input supply from drooping and allowing the regulator to
enter dropout. See the Applications Information section
for more information on input capacitor requirements.
OUT (Pins 15, 16, 17, 18): Output. These pins supply
power to the load. Tie all OUT pins together for proper
performance. A minimum output capacitance of 15µF is
required for stability. LTC recommends low ESR, X5R or
X7R dielectric ceramic capacitors for best performance.
A parallel ceramic capacitor combination of 10µF + 4.7µF
+ 2.2µF or 15 1µF ceramic capacitors in parallel provide
excellent stability and load transient response. Large load
transient applications require larger output capacitors to
limit peak voltage transients. See the Applications Infor-
mation section for more information on output capacitor
requirements.
SENSE (Pin 19): Kelvin Sense for OUT . The SENSE pin is
the inverting input to the error amplifier. Optimum regulation
is obtained when the SENSE pin is connected to the OUT
pins of the regulator. In critical applications, the resistance

small voltage drops, creating a load regulation error at the
point of load. Connecting the SENSE pin at the load instead
of directly to OUT eliminates this voltage error. Figure 1
illustrates this Kelvin-Sense connection method. Note that
the voltage drop across the external PCB traces adds to the
dropout voltage of the regulator. The SENSE pin input bias
current depends on the selected output voltage. SENSE
