LT3050 Series
PIN FUNCTIONS
For detailed information on how to set the IMAX pin resistor
value, please see the Operation section.
The IMAX pin requires a 10nF decoupling capacitor to
ground. If not used, tie IMAX to GND.
IMON (Pin 12): Output Current Monitor. This pin is the
collector of a PNP current mirror that outputs 1/100th
of the power PNP current. When OUT = IMON, the pin
current exactly equals 1/100th that of the output current.
For detailed information on how to calculate the output
current from the IMON pin, please see the Operation section.
The IMON pin requires a small (22nF minimum) external
decoupling capacitor. If the IMON pin is not used, it must
be tied to GND.
