SNVA432D March 2010 – January 2022 LM21305
Terminal Silkscreen | Description |
---|---|
PVIN | Connect the power supply between this terminal and the GND terminal beside it. The device is rated between 3 V to 18 V. The absolute maximum voltage rating is 20 V. |
GND | The GND terminals are meant to provide a close return path to the power and signal terminal beside them. They are all connected together on the board. |
SW | The SW terminal is connected to the switch node of the power stage. It can be used to monitor the switch node waveform using an oscilloscope. |
VOUT | The VOUT terminal is connected to the output capacitor on the board and should be connected to the load. |
AVIN_EXT | The LM21305 evaluation board facilitates using a separate supply voltage to AVIN through JP1 selection and connection to the AVIN_EXT terminal. An AVIN voltage of 5 V will result in optimal efficiency in most cases. |
EN | This terminal connects to the EN pin of the device. The EN is pulled up to AVIN through a 10-kΩ resistor on the board. It also can be externally controlled through this terminal. If driven externally, a voltage typically greater than 1.2 V will enable the device. |
PGOOD | This terminal connects to the power-good output of the device. There is a 100-kΩ pullup resistor from this pin to the 2V5 bias rail. |
