NAME FUNCTION
1 V+
Preregulator Input. Connect to the power line for use with 25V to 110V line voltages. Bypass V+ to ground
with a 0.1µF capacitor, close to the IC. Connects internally to the drain of a depletion FET preregulator.
2 INDIV
Undervoltage Sensing and Feed-Forward Input. Connect to the center point of an external resistive divider
connected between the main power line and AGND. Undervoltage lockout takes over and shuts down
the controller when V
INDIV
< 1.2V. INDIV bias is typically 0.01µA.
PIN
3 ES
Preregulator Output. When V+ ranges above 36V, bypass ES to AGND with a 0.1µF capacitor close to
the IC. When V+ is always below 36V, connect ES to V+.
4 FREQ
Oscillator Frequency Adjust and Synchronization Input. In internal free-running mode, the voltage on this
pin is internally regulated to 1.25V. Connect a resistor between this pin and AGND to set the PWM fre-
quency. Drive between V
IL
and V
IH
at four times the desired frequency for external synchronization.
8 COMP Compensation Connection. Output of the error amplifier, available for compensation.
7 CON Control Input of the PWM Comparator
6 REF Reference Voltage Output (3.0V). Bypass to AGND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
5 SS
Soft-Start Capacitor Connection. Ramp time to full current limit is approximately 0.5ms/nF. Limits duty
cycle when V

< V

10 MAXTON
Maximum On-Time Programming. A resistor from MAXTON to AGND sets the PWM gain and limits the
maximum duty cycle. The voltage on MAXTON tracks the voltage on the INDIV pin. Maximum on-time is
proportional to the value of the programming resistor. The maximum duty cycle is limited to 75%, regard-
less of the programming resistor.
9 FB Feedback Input. Regulates to V
