PIN DESCRIPTIONS

Pins

Name

Description

1

FADJ

Frequency Adjust pin. The switching frequency can be set to a predetermined rate by connecting a resistor

between FADJ and AGND.

2

SS/TRK

Soft-start control pin. An internal 2 µA current source charges an external capacitor connected between

this pin and AGND to set the output voltage ramp rate during startup. This pin can also be used to

configure the tracking feature.

3

EN

Active high enable input for the device. If not used, the EN pin can be left open, which will go high due to

an internal current source.

4

AVIN

Analog input voltage supply that generates the internal bias. It is recommended to connect PVIN to AVIN

through a low pass RC filter to minimize the influence of input rail ripple and noise on the analog control

circuitry.

5,6,7

PVIN

Input voltage to the power switches inside the device. These pins should be connected together at the

device. A low ESR input capacitance should be located as close as possible to these pins.

8,9,10

PGND

Power ground pins for the internal power switches.

11-16

SW

Switch node pins. These pins should be tied together locally and connected to the filter inductor.

17

PGOOD

Open-drain power good indicator.

18

COMP

Compensation pin is connected to the output of the voltage loop error amplifier.

19

FB

Feedback pin is connected to the inverting input of the voltage loop error amplifier.

20

AGND

Quiet analog ground for the internal reference and bias circuitry.

EP

Exposed Pad

Exposed metal pad on the underside of the package with an electrical and thermal connection to PGND. It

is recommended to connect this pad to the PC board ground plane in order to improve thermal dissipation.
