NAME FUNCTION
1 10 BST Positive Supply of DH Driver. Connect 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and LX.
2 1 COMP/EN
Compensation Pin. Pulling COMP/EN low with an open-collector or open-drain device
turns off the output.
3 2 FB Feedback Input. Connect a resistive divider network to set V
OUT
. F
B
threshold is 0.8V.
— 3 VCC Internal Chip Supply. Connect to VL via a 10Ω resistor.
4 4 VIN
Power Supply for LDO Regulator in the MAX1967 and Chip Supply for the MAX1966.
Bypass with a ceramic capacitor to ground (see application circuit).
— 5VL
Output of Internal 5V LDO. Bypass with a 2.2µF capacitor to GND, or if VIN < 5.5,
connect VL to VIN and bypass with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
