PIN FUNCTIONS
V
FB1
(Pin 1): Output Feedback. Receives the feedback volt-
age from the external resistive divider across the output.
Nominal voltage for this pin is 0.6V.
RUN1 (Pin 2): Regulator 1 Enable. Forcing this pin to V
IN
enables regulator 1, while forcing it to GND causes regulator
1 to shut down. This pin must be driven; do not fl oat.
V
IN
(Pin 3): Main Power Supply. Must be closely decoupled
to GND.
SW1 (Pin 4): Regulator 1 Switch Node Connection to the
Inductor. This pin swings from V
IN
to GND.
GND (Pin 5): Ground. This pin is not connected internally.
Connect to PCB ground for shielding.
MODE/SYNC (Pin 6): Combination Mode Selection and
Oscillator Synchronization. This pin controls the opera-
tion of the device. When tied to V
IN
or GND, Burst Mode
operation or pulse-skipping mode is selected, respectively.
Do not fl oat this pin. The oscillation frequency can be
synchronized to an external oscillator applied to this pin
and pulse-skipping mode is automatically selected.
SW2 (Pin 7): Regulator 2 Switch Node Connection to the
Inductor. This pin swings from V
IN
to GND.
POR (Pin 8): Power-On Reset . This common-drain logic
output is pulled to GND when the output voltage is not
within ±8.5% of regulation and goes high after 175ms
when both channels are within regulation.
RUN2 (Pin 9): Regulator 2 Enable. Forcing this pin to V
IN
enables regulator 2, while forcing it to GND causes regulator
2 to shut down. This pin must be driven; do not fl oat.
V
FB2
(Pin 10): Output Feedback. Receives the feedback
voltage from the external resistive divider across the output.
Nominal voltage for this pin is 0.6V.
Exposed Pad (GND) (Pin 11): Power Ground. Connect to
the (–) terminal of C
OUT
, and (–) terminal of C
IN
. Must be
soldered to electrical ground on PCB.
