LT3465 model problems in LT SWcadiii

I am having trouble shutting off the device using the CTRL pin.

I used the LT3465 model in the SWcadiii program and accompanying circuitry based on the app note for the part, i.e. 22uH inductor, etc. On the output, I use one LED with 4.3 ohms resistance to ground. When ground is applied to the CTRL pin, should I expect the part to shut off? The data sheet implies this, but I do not see what I think I should. I would expect very low input current to the part (probably u-amps) and negligible voltage/current to the output LED. Instead, the output appears on. I use a 5V input. In CAD, I have ramping the CTRL pin from 0 to supply voltage and at no point does the part appear to shut off.

I am seeing similar behavior on the bench. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Is supply voltage an issue?

Hello John,

The LT3465(A) works as promised in the datasheet. I don't know your circuit but a correct one like my example performs very well. The output current can be controlled from

0mA to about .2V/Rsense with a control voltage from 0 to 1V. Above 1V the current stays at .2V/Rsense.

Copy the text attached at the end of this message into a file named with a postfix ".asc", e.g. test.asc

This schematic file can be then opened with LTspice. Then press RUN , walk to the coffee machine to get a hopefully free coffee and when you come back the simulation is done.
