Table 3. Pin Function Descriptions
Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1 DL Logic Drive Low Output for External Low-Side MOSFET Driver.
2 DH Logic Drive High Output for External High-Side MOSFET Driver.
3 VREG
Internal Low Dropout (LDO) Voltage Regulator Output and Internal Bias Supply. A bypass capacitance of 1 µF or
greater from this pin to ground is required.
4 VIN High Input Voltage Supply Pin. Bypass this pin with a 4.7 µF capacitor to ground.
5 EN Logic Enable Input. Drive EN logic low to shut down the device. Drive EN logic high to turn on the device.
Mode Select. Drive MODE logic low to place the device in boost/recycle mode. Drive MODE logic high to place
the device in buck/charge mode of operation.
7 SYNC
Synchronization Pin. This pin is used as an input and synchronized to an external clock or used as an output
clock to synchronize with other channels.
8 FAULT
Fault Input Pin. Signaled by an overcurrent protection (OCP) or overvoltage protection (OVP) fault condition on
the companion ASIC, AD8450. The ADP1972 is disabled until this pin is logic high.
9 COMP
Output Error Amplifier Signal from the companion ASIC, AD8450. This pin is the error input to the ADP1972 and
is compared internally to the linear ramp to produce the PWM signal. Do not leave this pin floating.
10 SS
Soft Start Control Pin. A capacitor connected from SS to ground brings the output up slowly during power-up
and reduces the inrush current.
11 DMAX
Maximum Duty Cycle Input. Connect an external resistor to ground to set the maximum duty cycle. If the 98%
internal maximum duty cycle is sufficient for the application, tie this pin to VREG. If DMAX is left floating, this
pin is internally tied to VREG.
12 FREQ
Frequency Set Pin. Connect an external resistor between this pin and ground to set the frequency between
50 kHz and 300 kHz.
13 SCFG
Synchronization Configuration Input. Drive V
SCFG
≥ 4.53 V to configure SYNC as an output clock signal. Drive
V
SCFG
< 4.25 V to configure SYNC as an input. Connect a resistor to ground with 0.65 V < V
SCFG
< 4.25 V to
introduce a phase shift to the synchronized clock. Drive V
SCFG
≤ 0.5 V to configure SYNC as an input with no
phase shift so that it synchronizes the device to an external clock source. If SCFG is left floating, the SYNC pin
is internally tied to VREG, and SYNC is configured as an output.
14 GND Power and Analog Ground Pin.
15 GND
SENSE
Ground Sense for the Current-Limit Setting Resistor.
16 CL
Current-Limit Programming Pin. Connect a current-limit sense resistor in series with the FET source to set the
peak current limit.
