threshold during normal operation, the C

pin will be
discharged and PG inactive, resulting in a non Power Good
cycle when SHDN is taken above its threshold. Figure 9
shows the power good operation with PGFB connected to
FB and the capacitance on C
T
= 0.1µF. The PGOOD pin has
a limited amount of drive capability and is susceptible to
noise during start-up and Burst Mode operation. If erratic
operation occurs during these conditions a small filter
capacitor from the PGOOD pin to ground will ensure
proper operation. Figure 10 shows several different con-
figurations for the LT3435 Power Good circuitry. Figure 10
shows several different configurations for the LT3435
Power Good circuitry.
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
As with all high frequency switchers, when considering
layout, care must be taken in order to achieve optimal
electrical, thermal and noise performance. For maximum
efficiency switch rise and fall times are typically in the
nanosecond range. To prevent noise both radiated and
conducted the high speed switching current path, shown
in Figure 11, must be kept as short as possible. This is
implemented in the suggested layout of Figure 12. Short-
ening this path will also reduce the parasitic trace induc-
tance of approximately 25nH/inch. At switch off, this
