## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTB | output | Alternating high-current push-pull output stage that drives a power MOSFET gate, rated for 500-mA peak source and 1-A peak sink current and switching at half the oscillator frequency. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Reference ground and power ground for all functions; due to high currents and high-frequency operation, a low-impedance circuit board ground plane is highly recommended. |
| 3 | RT | input | Oscillator programming pin; an external resistor to GND sets the oscillator frequency, with a recommended timing resistor range of 25 kΩ to 698 kΩ and a nominal RT voltage of 1.5 V (1.2 V to 1.6 V). |
| 4 | CS | input | Current-sense input to the PWM comparator, cycle-by-cycle peak current comparator and overcurrent comparator; exceeding the overcurrent threshold (0.75 V typical) causes a soft-start cycle, and an internal MOSFET discharges the CS filter capacitor. |
| 5 | ISET | input | Current selection for slope compensation; a resistor RSET from ISET to GND programs the slope-compensation ramp, with IRAMP peak equal to 5 × ISET peak. |
| 6 | CTRL | input | Error voltage input to the PWM comparator, with an internal divider ratio of 0.45 to maintain a usable range with the minimum VDD of 4.1 V. |
| 7 | VDD | power_in | Power input connection with an absolute maximum supply voltage of 15 V (IDD < 10 mA); a 1-µF decoupling capacitor to GND is recommended. |
| 8 | OUTA | output | Alternating high-current push-pull output stage that drives a power MOSFET gate, rated for 500-mA peak source and 1-A peak sink current and switching at half the oscillator frequency. |
