operation Start-Up/Shutdown Setting the Oscillator Frequency
The LTC3805 has two shutdown mechanisms to disable Connect a frequency set resistor RFS from the FS pin to and enable operation: an undervoltage lockout on the VCC ground to set the oscillator frequency over a range from supply pin voltage, and a precision-threshold RUN pin.
