PIN FUNCTIONS
CSN (Pin 9): Negative Current Sense Pin. Senses external
NMOS source current. Connect to local RSENSE ground
connection for proper Kelvin sensing. The current limit
is set by 106mV/RSENSE.
CSP (Pin 10): Positive Current Sense Pin. Senses NMOS
source current. Connect the NMOS source terminal and
the current sense resistor to this pin. The current limit is
fixed at 106mV/RSENSE in charge mode. The current limit
can be reduced to a minimum 11mV/RSENSE in regulation
mode.
VCC (Pin 11): Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed
with high-grade (X5R or better) ceramic capacitor. The
minimum operating voltage for VCC is 4.75V.
LVGATE (Pin 12): Low Voltage Gate Pin. Connect the
NMOS gate terminal to this pin when operating VCC below
8V. The internal gate driver will drive the voltage to the
VCC rail. When operating VCC higher than 8V, tie this pin
directly to VCC.
HVGATE (Pin 13): High Voltage Gate Pin. Connect NMOS
gate terminal to this pin for all VCC operating voltages.
Internal gate driver will drive the voltage to within VCC
– 2V during each switch cycle.
RBG (Pin 14): Bias Generation Pin. Generates a bias
current set by 0.98V/RBG. Select RBG to achieve desired
resistance for RDCM, RVOUT, and RVTRANS.
RVOUT (Pin 16): Output Voltage Sense Pin. Develops a
current proportional to output capacitor voltage. Connect a
resistor between this pin and drain of NMOS such that:

where VDIODE = forward voltage drop of diode D1 (refer
to Block Diagram).
RDCM (Pin 17): Discontinuous Mode Sense Pin. Senses
when the external NMOS drain is equal to 20μA • RDCM +
VTRANS and initiates the next charge cycle. Place a resis-
tor equal to 0.45 times the resistor on the RVTRANS pin
between this pin and VDRAIN.
RVTRANS (Pin 19): Transformer Supply Sense Pin. Connect
a resistor between the RVTRANS pin and the VTRANS supply.
Refer to Figure 11 for proper sizing of the RVTRANS resistor.
The minimum operation voltage for VTRANS is 4.75V.
UVLO1 (Pin 20): VTRANS Undervoltage Lockout Pin. Senses
when VTRANS drops below:
VUVLO1 = 1.225 + 50μA •RUVLO1
and trips the FAULT latch low, disabling switching. After
VTRANS rises above VUVLO1, toggling the CHARGE pin
reactivates switching.
GND (Pin 21): Ground. Tie directly to local ground plane.
