Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | power_in | Input supply voltage, operating range 2.95 V to 6 V. |
| 2 | VIN | power_in | Input supply voltage, operating range 2.95 V to 6 V. |
| 3 | GND | power_in | Power ground; connect directly to the power pad under the device. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Power ground; connect directly to the power pad under the device. |
| 5 | AGND | power_in | Analog ground; should be electrically connected to GND close to the device. |
| 6 | VSENSE | input | Inverting node of the transconductance error amplifier for output voltage feedback, operates at 0.8 V reference. |
| 7 | COMP | output | Error amplifier output and input to the output switch current comparator; connect frequency compensation components to this pin. |
| 8 | RT/CLK | bidirectional | Resistor timing pin for setting switching frequency 200 kHz to 2000 kHz, or external clock input for synchronization at 300 kHz to 2000 kHz. |
| 9 | SS | bidirectional | Soft-start pin; external capacitor connected to ground sets output voltage rise time with internal charge current 2.07 µA. |
| 10 | PH | output | Switching node; source of the internal high-side power MOSFET and drain of the internal low-side synchronous rectifier MOSFET. |
| 11 | PH | output | Switching node; source of the internal high-side power MOSFET and drain of the internal low-side synchronous rectifier MOSFET. |
| 12 | PH | output | Switching node; source of the internal high-side power MOSFET and drain of the internal low-side synchronous rectifier MOSFET. |
| 13 | BOOT | input | Bootstrap capacitor connection between BOOT and PH pins; provides gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET, requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor minimum. |
| 14 | PWRGD | tri_state | Power good open-drain output; asserts low when output voltage falls below 91% or rises above 107% of nominal reference, typical hysteresis 2%. |
| 15 | EN | input | Enable pin with internal pull-up current source; pull below 1.2 V to disable device, float to enable, threshold range 1.16 V to 1.37 V rising. |
| 16 | VIN | power_in | Input supply voltage, operating range 2.95 V to 6 V. |
| 17 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
