Pin Description
1
FBLDO LDO Feedback. This node is regulated to VREF.
2
R(T)
Oscillator Set Resistor. This pin provides oscillator switching frequency adjustment. By plac-
ing a resistor (RT) from this pin to GND, the nominal 50kHz switching frequency is increased.
3
ILIM Current Limit. A resistor from this pin to GND sets the current limit.
Soft-Start. A capacitor from this pin to GND programs the slew rate of the converter and the
4
SS
LDO during initialization. It also sets the time by which the converter delays when restarting
after a fault occurs. SS has to reach 1.2V before fault shutdown feature is enabled. The LDO
is enabled when SS reaches 2.2V.
5
COMP COMP. The output of the error amplifier drives this pin.
6
FB
Feedback. This pin is the inverting input of the internal error amplifier. Use this pin, in combi-
nation with the COMP pin, to compensate the feedback loop of the converter.
Enable. Enables operation when pulled to logic high. Toggling EN resets the regulator after a
7
EN latched fault condition. This is a CMOS input whose state is indeterminate if left open and
needs to be properly biased at all times.
8
AGND
Analog Ground. The signal ground for the IC. All internal control voltages are referred to this
pin. Tie this pin to the ground island/plane through the lowest impedance connection available.
9
SW
Switching Node. Return for the high-side MOSFET driver and a current sense input. Connect
to source of high-side MOSFET and drain of low-side MOSFET.
High-Side Gate Drive Output. Connect to the gate of the high-side power MOSFETs. This
10
HDRV pin is also monitored by the adaptive shoot-through protection circuitry to determine when the
high-side MOSFET is turned off.
11
BOOT
Bootstrap Supply Input. Provides a boosted voltage to the high-side MOSFET driver.
Connect to bootstrap capacitor as shown in Figure 1.
12
PGND
Power Ground. The return for the low-side MOSFET driver. Connect to source of low-side
MOSFET.
Low-Side Gate Drive Output. Connect to the gate of the low-side power MOSFETs. This pin
13
LDRV is also monitored by the adaptive shoot-through protection circuitry to determine when the
lower MOSFET is turned off.
14
R(RAMP)
Ramp Resistor. A resistor from this pin to VIN sets the ramp amplitude and provides voltage
feed-forward.
VCC. Provides bias power to the IC and the drive voltage for LDRV. Bypass with a ceramic
15
VCC capacitor as close to this pin as possible. This pin has a shunt regulator which draws current
when the input voltage is above 5.6V.
16
GLDO Gate Drive for the LDO. Turned off (low) until SS is greater than 2.2V.
