DEVICE INFORMATION
PIN ASSIGNMENTS
PIN FUNCTIONS
PIN DESCRIPTION
NAME No.
RT/CLK 1 Automatically selects between RT mode and CLK mode. An external timing resistor adjusts the switching
frequency of the device; In CLK mode, the device synchronizes to an external clock.
GND 2, 3 Return for control circuitry and low-side power MOSFET.
PVIN 4, 5 Power input. Supplies the power switches of the power converter.
VIN 6 Supplies the control circuitry of the power converter.
VSENSE 7 Inverting input of the gm error amplifier.
COMP 8 Error amplifier output, and input to the output switch current comparator. Connect frequency compensation to this
pin.
SS/TR 9 Slow-start and tracking. An external capacitor connected to this pin sets the internal voltage reference rise time.
The voltage on this pin overrides the internal reference. It can be used for tracking and sequencing.
EN 10 Enable pin. Float to enable. Adjust the input undervoltage lockout with two resistors.
PH 11, 12 The switch node.
BOOT 13 A bootstrap cap is required between BOOT and PH. The voltage on this cap carries the gate drive voltage for the
high-side MOSFET.
PWRGD 14 Open drain Power Good fault pin. Asserts low due to thermal shutdown, under-voltage, over-voltage, EN
shutdown, or during slow start.
Exposed 15 Thermal pad of the package and signal ground. It must be soldered down for proper operation.
