The undervoltage monitor behaves differently if FB is
above its threshold when the GATE begins ramping:
RESET goes high as soon as the GATE ramp begins.
RESET goes low immediately if V
CC
falls below the chip’s
2.5V internal undervoltage lockout threshold.
To disable the undervoltage monitor, tie FB to REF and
ground RESET.

Figure 14. Minimum REF Compensation vs REF Current
Reference
The LTC1642’s internal voltage reference is buffered and
brought out to the REF pin. The buffer amplifier should be
compensated with a capacitor connected between REF
and ground. If no DC current is drawn from REF, 0.1µF
ensures an adequate phase margin, but the minimum
compensation increases if REF sources a substantial DC
current, as shown in Figure 14.
