Pin Description
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function
1, 2, 9 VIN Supply Input: Controller and switch supply. Unregulated supply input to
internal regulator, output switches, and control circuitry. Requires bypass
capacitor to PGND. All three pins must be connected to V
IN
.
3,8 SW Switch (Output): Internal power MOSFET switch output. Both pins must be
externally connected together.
4,5,6,7 PGND Power Ground: Output stage ground connections. Connect all pins to a
common ground plane.
10 OUT Output Voltage Sense (Input): Senses output voltage to determine minimum
switch current for PWM operation. Connect directly to V
OUT
.
11 AUTO Automatic Mode: Connect 2.2nF timing capacitor for automatic PWM-/skip-
mode switching. Regulator operates exclusively in PWM mode when pin is
pulled low.
12 FB Feedback (Input): Error amplifier inverting input. For adjustable output
version, connect FB to external resistive divider to set output voltage. For
3.3V and 5V fixed output versions, connect FB directly to output.
13 COMP Compensation: Internal error amplifier output. Connect to capacitor or series
RC network to compensate the regulator control loop.
14,15,16,17 SGND Signal Ground: Ground connection of control section. Connect all pins to
common ground plane.
18 SYNC Frequency Synchronization (Input): Optional clock input. Connect to
external clock signal to synchronize oscillator. Leading edge of signal above
1.7V terminates switching cycle. Connect to SGND if not used.
19 BIAS Bias Supply: Internal 3.3V bias supply output. Decouple with 0.01µF
bypass capacitor and 10kΩ to SGND. Do not apply any external load.
20 EN Enable (Input): Logic high enables operation. Logic low shuts down
regulator. Do not allow pin to float.
