DIP Switch Descriptions

The CFG0 pin defines the dead time and the ATRK/DTRK pin 20μA current source for VOUT programming.

The CFG1 pin setting defines the VOUT overvoltage protection level, clock dithering, the 120% input current limit protection (ICL_latch) operation, and the power good pin behavior.

The CFG2 pin defines the VOUT overvoltage protection level. The CFG2 pin configures as well if the device is a single device or part of a dual device configuration, the SYNCIN and SYNCOUT pin is enabled/disabled accordingly. During clock synchronization, the clock dither function is disabled.

S1 through S6 are 8-bit DIP switches.

  • S1 and S2 are for CFG0
    • S1-postion 1 selects Level 1, …, S1-postion 8 selects Level 8
    • S2-postion 1 selects Level 9, …, S2-postion 8 selects Level 16
  • S3 and S4 are for CFG1
    • S3-postion 1 selects Level 1, …, S3-postion 8 selects Level 8
    • S4-postion 1 selects Level 9, …, S4-postion 8 selects Level 16
  • S5 and S6 are for CFG2
    • S5-postion 1 selects Level 1, …, S5-postion 8 selects Level 8
    • S6-postion 1 selects Level 9, …, S6-postion 8 selects Level 16

Select position 3 for S1 by default. This selects Level 3 for CFG0:

  • Dead time = 50ns
  • 20μA ATRK current source = on

Select position 2 for S4 by default. This selects Level 10 for CFG1:

  • OVP bit 0 = 1
  • DRSS = disabled
  • ICL_latch = disabled
  • PGOODOVP_enable = disabled

Select position 1 for S5 by default. This selects Level 1 for CFG2:

  • OVP bit 1 = 0
  • Single chip
  • Phase shift = 180°
  • SYNCIN = off
  • SYNCOUT = off

OVP bit 1 = 0 and OVP bit 0 = 1 select OVP level to 50V.

Note: Do not select a dead time that is lower than 50ns or operate with Vout>50V to avoid hardware damage. Select OVP level no more than 50V.
