Description

1

BS

High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BS supplies the drive for the high-side N-Channel

MOSFET switch. Connect a 0.01µF or greater capacitor from SW to BS to power the

high side switch.

2

IN

Power Input. IN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter

switches. Drive IN with a 4.75V to 23V power source. Bypass IN to GND with a

suitably large capacitor to eliminate noise on the input to the IC. See Input Capacitor.

3

SW

Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output.

Connect the output LC filter from SW to the output load. Note that a capacitor is

required from SW to BS to power the high-side switch.

4

GND

Ground.

5

FB

Feedback Input. FB senses the output voltage to regulate that voltage. Drive FB

with a resistive voltage divider from the output voltage. The feedback threshold

is 0.923V. See Setting the Output Voltage.

6

COMP

Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control loop.

Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND to compensate the regulation

control loop. In some cases, an additional capacitor from COMP to GND is

required. See Compensation Components.

7

EN

Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to

turn on the regulator, drive it low to turn it off. Pull up with 100kΩ resistor for

automatic startup.

8

SS

Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft start period. Connect a capacitor from SS

to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1µF capacitor sets the soft-start period to 15ms.

To disable the soft-start feature, leave SS unconnected.
