PIN I/O(1) DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
BOOT 6 S A bootstrap capacitor is required between BOOT and PH. If the voltage on this capacitor is below the minimum required by the high-side MOSFET (BOOT UVLO), the PH node is forced low so that the capacitor is refreshed.
COMP 12 O Error amplifier current output, and input to the output switch current comparator. Connect frequency compensation to this pin.
EN 15 I A divider network must be used to implement an undervoltage lockout function. To disable switching and reduce quiescent current, this pin must be pulled to ground.
HICCUP 2 O Overcurrent protection scheme select pin
ILIM 3 O Current limit threshold select pin
PGND 9 G Power Ground. Return for the low-side MOSFET
PH 8 O Switch node
PVIN 7 I Power input. Supplies the power switches of the power converter
PWRGD 5 O Power-good fault pin. Asserts low if output voltage is out of regulation due to thermal shutdown, dropout, overvoltage, EN shutdown, or during soft start.
RT/CLK 10 I/O Automatically selects between RT mode and CLK mode. An external timing resistor adjusts the switching frequency of the device. In CLK mode, the device synchronizes to an external clock.
RTN 11 G Return for control circuitry
SS 14 I/O Soft-start pin. An external capacitor connected to this pin sets the internal voltage reference rise time. The voltage on this pin overrides the internal reference. It can be used for sequencing.
SYNC_OUT 4 O Synchronization output provides a clock signal 180° out-of-phase with the power switch.
VIN 1 I Supplies the control circuitry of the power converter
VSENSE 13 I Inverting node of the transconductance (gm) error amplifier
(1) I = Input, O = Output, S = Supply, G = Ground Return
