Pin Function |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bootstrap. A capacitor is connected between PHASE and BOOT pins to form a floating |
|
1 |
BOOT |
supply across the power switch driver. This capacitor is needed to drive the power switch‘s |
|
|
|
gate above the supply voltage. |
|
|
|
Ground. This pin is the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage. For this reason, |
|
2 |
GND |
care must be taken in its layout. This node should be placed outside of the D1 to C1 ground |
|
|
|
path to prevent switching current spikes from inducing voltage noise into the part. |
|
3 |
FB |
Feedback. An external resistor divider from the output to GND tapped to the FB pin sets the |
|
output voltage. The value of the divider resistors also set loop bandwidth. |
|||
|
|
||
4 |
EN |
Chip Enable (Active High). If the EN pin is open, it will be pulled to high by internal circuit. |
|
|
|
|
|
5 |
VIN |
Supply Voltage. Bypass VIN to GND with a suitable large capacitor to prevent large voltage |
|
spikes from appearing at the input. |
|||
|
|
||
6 |
PHASE |
Switch Output. |

Note 1. Stresses listed as the above "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are for stress ratings. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may remain possibility to affect device reliability.
Note 2. θJA is measured in the natural convection at TA = 25°C on a high effective four layers thermal conductivity test board of JEDEC 51-7 thermal measurement standard.
Note 3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
