I |
Bias input voltage for error amplifier, reference, and internal control circuits. A 1-µF or larger input capacitor is recommended for optimal performance. If IN is connected to BIAS, a 4.7-µF or larger capacitor must be used. |

I |
Enable pin. Driving this pin high enables the regulator. Driving this pin low puts the regulator into shutdown mode. This pin must not be left unconnected. |
FB |

I |
Feedback pin. The feedback connection to the center tap of an external resistor divider network that sets the output voltage. This pin must not be left floating. |

No connection. This pin can be left floating or connected to GND to allow better thermal contact to the top-side plane. |
OUT |

1, 18-20 |
O |
Regulated output voltage. A small capacitor (total typical capacitance ≥ 2.2 μF, ceramic) is needed from this pin to ground to assure stability. |
PG |

9 |
O |
Power Good pin. An open-drain, active-high output that indicates the status of VOUT. When VOUT exceeds the PG trip threshold, the PG pin goes into a high-impedance state. When VOUT is below this threshold the pin is driven to a low-impedance state. A pull-up resistor from 10 kΩ to 1 MΩ should be connected from this pin to a supply of up to 5.5 V. The supply can be higher than the input voltage. Alternatively, the PG pin can be left unconnected if output monitoring is not necessary. |

Soft-Start pin. A capacitor connected on this pin to ground sets the start-up time. If this pin is left unconnected, the regulator output soft-start ramp time is typically 200 μs. |

Must be soldered to the ground plane for increased thermal performance. Internally connected to ground. |
