PIN FUNCTIONS
NFB (Pin 1): Negative Feedback Pin. Reference voltage is
– 1.24V. Connect resistive divider tap here. The sug-
gested value for R2 is 24.9k. Set R1 and R2 according to:
R1= | VOUT | – 1.24

VC (Pin 2): Compensation Pin for Error Amplifier. Con-
nect a series RC from this pin to ground. Typical values
are 100kΩ and 1nF. Minimize trace area at VC.
SHDN (Pin 3): Shutdown. Ground this pin to turn off
switcher. Must be tied to VIN (or higher voltage) to enable
switcher. Do not float the SHDN pin.
GND (Pin 4): Ground. Connect directly to local ground
plane.
SW (Pin 5): Switch Pin. Minimize trace area at this pin to
keep EMI down.
VIN (Pin 6): Supply Pin. Must have 1µF ceramic bypass
capacitor right at the pin, connected directly to ground.
LBI (Pin 7): Low-Battery Detector Input. 200mV refer-
ence. Voltage on LBI must stay between ground and
700mV. Float this pin if not used.
LBO (Pin 8): Low-Battery Detector Output. Open collec-
tor, can sink 10µA. A 1MΩ pull-up is recommended. Float
this pin if not used. The low-battery detector is disabled
when SHDN is low. LBO is high-Z in this state.
