Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VBIAS | power_in | Auxiliary input to supply part of the analog circuitry to increase efficiency at light load. Typically tied to the regulated output voltage or an external rail higher than 3 V; connect to signal GND (or bypass with a 1 uF ceramic) if unused. |
| 2 | VIN | power_in | DC input voltage (4.5 V to 61 V operating range). Tie both VIN pins together at the package. |
| 3 | VIN | power_in | DC input voltage (4.5 V to 61 V operating range). Tie both VIN pins together at the package. |
| 4 | VCC | power_in | Filtered DC input voltage to the internal circuitry. Bypass to signal GND with a 1 uF ceramic capacitor. |
| 5 | EN | input | Active-high enable pin (device OFF <= 0.30 V, ON >= 0.35 V). Connect to VCC if not used. |
| 6 | SS | passive | Soft-start pin. An internal 5 uA typ. current source charges an external capacitor from this pin to set the soft-start time. |
| 7 | SYNCH | bidirectional | Master/slave synchronization pin. Sources a pulse when configured as master and accepts an external sync input (>=280 kHz) when configured as slave; up to 5 slave devices can share this line. |
| 8 | COMP | output | Error-amplifier output. Compensation network (Type II or Type III) is connected between COMP and FB/GND to shape the loop response. |
| 9 | FB | input | Inverting input of the error amplifier (VFB = 0.8 V typ.). Connect to the output resistor divider to set the regulated output voltage. |
| 10 | FSW | passive | Switching-frequency programming pin. A pull-down resistor to GND selects the switching frequency (250 kHz - 1.5 MHz); leaving FSW floating sets ~250 kHz. |
| 11 | ILIM | passive | Peak-current-limit programming pin. A pull-down resistor to GND selects the inductor peak current limit; floating ILIM yields the default ~4.0 A limit. |
| 12 | PGOOD | output | Open-collector power-good output. Pulled low when the FB voltage is out of regulation (rising threshold 0.70 V typ., 30 mV hysteresis); requires an external pull-up. |
| 13 | LX | power_out | Switching node (output of the internal high-side n-DMOS). Tie both LX pins together and connect to the external inductor and freewheeling diode. |
| 14 | LX | power_out | Switching node (output of the internal high-side n-DMOS). Tie both LX pins together and connect to the external inductor and freewheeling diode. |
| 15 | BOOT | passive | Bootstrap pin for the high-side gate drive. Connect a 100 nF ceramic capacitor (typ.) between BOOT and LX; the internal regulator refreshes the boot capacitor during the off-time. |
| 16 | GND | power_in | Signal ground reference for the internal analog circuitry. |
| 17 | EP | power_in | Exposed thermal pad on package underside. Must be connected to signal GND and to a large copper area for heat dissipation (RthJA = 40 C/W on demo board). |
