PIN FUNCTIONS
LTC4270
AGND (Pin 34): Analog Ground. Connect AGND to the
return for the V supply.
EE
SENSEn (Pins 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30, 33, 37,

GATEn (Pins 2, 5, 9, 12, 16, 19, 22, 25, 29, 32, 36, 39):
Port n Gate Drive. GATEn should be connected to the gate
of the external MOSFET for port n. When the MOSFET is
turned on, the gate voltage is driven to 13V (typ) above

Common Pins
NC, DNC (LTC4271 Pins 7,13; LTC4270 Pins 42, 43, 44,
45, 46): All pins identified with “NC” or “DNC” must be
left unconnected.
OUTn (Pins 3, 6, 10, 13, 17, 20, 23, 26, 28, 31, 35, 38):
Port n Output Voltage Monitor. OUTn should be connected
to the output port. A current limit foldback circuit limits
the power dissipation in the external MOSFET by reducing
the current limit threshold when the drain-to-source volt-
age exceeds 10V. The port n Power Good bit is set when
