Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | power_in | Power supply input with a 4.5V to 42V input supply range; connect the VIN pins together. |
| 2 | VIN | power_in | Power supply input with a 4.5V to 42V input supply range; connect the VIN pins together. |
| 3 | VIN | power_in | Power supply input with a 4.5V to 42V input supply range; connect the VIN pins together. |
| 4 | EN/UVLO | input | Enable/undervoltage lockout input that must be driven high to enable the output, with an external resistor divider from VIN to SGND setting the turn-on input voltage. |
| 5 | RESET | output | Open-drain RESET output that is driven low if FB drops below 92% of its set value and goes high 1024 clock cycles after FB rises above 95% of its set value. |
| 6 | SYNC | input | Clock input used to synchronize the device to an external clock. |
| 7 | SS | passive | Soft-start input; a capacitor connected from SS to SGND sets the soft-start time. |
| 8 | CF | passive | At switching frequencies below 500kHz a capacitor is connected from CF to FB, and CF is left open at 500kHz or above. |
| 9 | FB | input | Feedback input connected to the center tap of an external resistor divider from the output to GND to set the output voltage. |
| 10 | RT | passive | A resistor from RT to SGND sets the switching frequency from 100kHz to 2.2MHz, and leaving RT open selects the default 500kHz. |
| 11 | MODE | input | Mode select pin: left unconnected for PFM, connected to SGND for constant-frequency PWM, and connected to VCC for DCM operation, latched at power-up. |
| 12 | VCC | power_out | 5V LDO output that must be bypassed with 2.2µF ceramic capacitance to SGND. |
| 13 | SGND | power_in | Analog ground. |
| 14 | PGND | power_in | Power ground that connects externally to the power ground plane and to SGND at the VCC bypass capacitor return path. |
| 15 | PGND | power_in | Power ground that connects externally to the power ground plane and to SGND at the VCC bypass capacitor return path. |
| 16 | PGND | power_in | Power ground that connects externally to the power ground plane and to SGND at the VCC bypass capacitor return path. |
| 17 | LX | output | Switching node connected to the switching side of the inductor. |
| 18 | LX | output | Switching node connected to the switching side of the inductor. |
| 19 | LX | output | Switching node connected to the switching side of the inductor. |
| 20 | BST | passive | Boost flying capacitor connection; a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is connected between BST and LX. |
| 21 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
