Functional Pin Description

Pin No.

Pin Name

Pin Function

1

BOOT

Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 0.1

μF or greater ceramic

capacitor from BOOT to SW pin.

2

VIN

Supply Voltage Input, 4.5V to 18V. Must bypass with a suitable large ceramic

capacitor.

3

SW

Switch Node. Connect this pin to an external L-C filter.

4,

9 (Exposed Pad)

GND

Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to

GND for maximum power dissipation.

5

FB

Feedback Input. It is used to regulate the output of the converter to a set value

via an external resistive voltage divider.

6

COMP

Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control

loop. Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND. In some cases, an

additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required.

7

EN

Enable Input. A logic high enables the converter; a logic low forces the IC into

shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 3

μA.

8

SS

Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor

from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1

μF capacitor sets the

soft-start period to 13.5ms.
