Note 2: AC load regulation sets the AC loop gain, to make tradeoffs between output filter capacitor size and transient response,
and has only a slight effect on DC accuracy or DC load-regulation error.
Note 3: Specifications from 0°C to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.

PIN
High-Side Main MOSFET Switch Gate-Drive Output. DH is a floating driver output that swings from LX
to BST, riding on the LX switching-node voltage. See the section BST High-Side Gate-Driver Supply
and MOSFET Drivers.
DH24
Switching Node. Connect LX to the high-side MOSFET source and inductor.LX23

DL
Low-Side Synchronous Rectifier Gate-Drive Output. DL swings between PGND and V
DD
. See the
section BST High-Side Gate-Driver Supply and MOSFET Drivers.
21
V
DD
5V Power Input for MOSFET Drivers. Bypass V
DD

DD
pin using a
0.1µF capacitor and 4.7µF capacitor connected in parallel.
20
PDRV GlitchCatcher P-Channel MOSFET Driver Output. PDRV swings between V
DD

Slow-Loop Compensation Capacitor Input. Connect a ceramic capacitor from CC2 to AGND. See the
section Compensating the Feedback Loop.

BST
Boost-Capacitor Bypass for High-Side MOSFET Gate Drive. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor and low-leak-
age Schottky diode as a bootstrapped charge-pump circuit to derive a 5V gate drive from V
DD
for DH.

CC1
Fast-Loop Compensation Capacitor Input. Connect a ceramic capacitor and resistor in series from
CC1 to AGND. See the section Compensating the Feedback Loop.

FB
Voltage-Feedback Input. Connect FB to the CPU’s remote voltage-sense point. The voltage at this input
is regulated to a value determined by D0–D4.

PWROK
Open-Drain Logic Output. PWROK is high when the voltage on FB is within +8% and -6% of its set-
point.

CSL
Current-Sense Amplifier’s Inverting Input. Place the current-sense resistor very close to the controller IC,
and use a Kelvin connection.

CSH Current-Sense Amplifier’s Noninverting Input4
D2, D1,
D0
Digital Inputs for Programming the Output Voltage. D0–D4 are logic inputs that set the output to a volt-
age between 1.3V and 3.5V (Table 2). D0–D4 are internally pulled up to V
CC
with 5µA current sources.

LG
Loop Gain-Control Input. LG is a three-level input that is used to trade off loop gain vs. AC load-regula-
tion and load-transient response. Connect LG to V
CC

ulation errors, respectively.
