## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | COMP | output | This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made for loop compensation. |
| 2 | VFB | input | This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier, normally connected to the switching power supply output through a resistor divider; analog input pins 2 and 3 are rated −0.3 to 5.5 V. |
| 3 | ISENSE | input | A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input, and the PWM uses it to terminate the output switch conduction; analog input pins 2 and 3 are rated −0.3 to 5.5 V. |
| 4 | RT/CT | passive | The oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle are programmed by connecting resistor RT to Vref and capacitor CT to ground. |
| 5 | GROUND | power_in | This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground. |
| 6 | OUTPUT | output | This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET, sourcing and sinking peak currents up to 1 A (output current rating ±1 A). |
| 7 | VCC | power_in | This pin is the positive supply of the integrated circuit; supply voltage (low impedance source) is rated 30 V absolute maximum. |
| 8 | Vref | power_out | This is the reference output that provides charging current for capacitor CT through resistor RT; reference output voltage is 4.9 to 5.1 V at IREF = 1 mA. |
