DESCRIPTION(continued)

(DAC) allows to adjust the output voltage from

1.3V to 2.05V with 0.05V binary steps and from

2.1V to 3.5V with 0.1V binary steps. The high pre­cision internal reference, digitally trimmed, as­sures the selected output voltage to within +/-1%.
Thanks to thewindow comparatorsystem,the de­vice provides excellent load transient perform­ance. The high peak current gate drive affords to

performing an high efficiency. The L6911B as­sures a fast protection against load overvoltage
and load overcurrent. An external SCR is trig­gered to crowbar the input supply in case of over­voltage. In case of output short circuit the soft
start capacitor is discharged and the system
works inhiccup mode.

14 UGATE High side gate driver output.
15 BOOT Bootstrap capacitor pin. Through this pin is supplied the high side driver and the upper mosfet.
16 PGND Power ground pin. This pin has to be connected closely to the low side mosfet source in order

17 LGATE This pin is the lower mosfet gate driver output.
18 VCC Device supply voltage. The operative supply voltage range is 4.5V to 12V.

19 OVP Over voltage protection. If the output voltage reach the 15% above the programmed voltage

The internal 200µA current generator sinks a currentfrom the drain through the external
resistor. The overcurrent threshold is due to the following equation:
