Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VBIAS input VBIAS is an auxiliary input that supplies part of the analog circuitry to improve light-load efficiency, typically connected to the regulated output or to an external rail higher than 3 V, and must be connected to signal GND if unused.
2 VIN power_in VIN is the DC input voltage pin, with an operating input voltage range of 4.5 V to 61 V.
3 VIN power_in VIN is the DC input voltage pin, with an operating input voltage range of 4.5 V to 61 V.
4 VCC power_in VCC is the filtered DC input voltage for the internal circuitry and must be bypassed to signal GND by a 1 µF ceramic capacitor.
5 EN input EN is an active-high enable pin with device OFF level up to 0.30 V and device ON level from 0.35 V, and should be connected to VCC if not used.
6 SS passive An internal current generator (5 µA typ.) charges the external capacitor to implement the soft-start.
7 SYNCH bidirectional SYNCH is the master/slave synchronization pin, allowing multiple devices to be synchronized to prevent beating noise.
8 COMP output COMP is the output of the error amplifier, where the designed compensation network is connected.
9 FB input FB is the inverting input of the error amplifier, with a voltage feedback reference of 0.800 V typ.
10 FSW input A pull-down resistor from FSW to GND selects the switching frequency, which is adjustable from 250 kHz to 1.5 MHz.
11 ILIM input A pull-down resistor from ILIM to GND selects the peak current limitation.
12 PGOOD output The PGOOD open collector output is driven low when the output voltage sensed on FB is out of regulation.
13 LX output LX is the switching node of the regulator.
14 LX output LX is the switching node of the regulator.
15 BOOT passive An external capacitor (100 nF typ.) connected between BOOT and LX supplies the gate charge for the internal n-DMOS, recovered by an internal regulator during the off-time.
16 GND power_in GND is the signal ground pin of the device.
17 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
