OUT
) in the case of
the LT3695, or by R
LOAD
, R4 and the OUT1,2 pins in the
case of the LT3695-3.3 and LT3695-5. Since this causes
V
OUT
to rise, the LT3695 regulators stop switching. The
resistive divider formed by R3, R
LOAD
and R1 + R2 and
R4, respectively, must be adjusted for V
OUT
not to exceed
its nominal value at the required maximum input voltage
V
IN(MAX)
. R3 must supply suffi cient current into RUN/SS
at the required minimum input voltage V
IN(MIN)
for normal
non-fault situations. Based on the maximum RUN/SS cur-
rent of 7.5µA at V

Tables 7 and 8 show example values for common appli-
cations. R
SS
must be included as the switch node would
otherwise have to charge C
SS
if the SW pin and the RUN/SS
pin are shorted, which may damage the power switch.
If RUN/SS is controlled by an external circuitry, the current
this circuitry can supply must be limited. This can be done
as discussed above. In addition, it may be necessary to
protect this external circuitry from the voltage at SW, for
example by using a diode.
