PIN DEFINITIONS

(drawings are not to scale)
VDD Pin
The VDD pin supplies power to the controller and is maintained at the correct voltage (nominally 3.3 V) by an
internal shunt regulator.
COL Pin
The COL pin is used to sense the collector voltage of the primary switching transistor, via a coupling
capacitor, to control the timing and current levels of the signals produced on the BAS pin.
CS Pin
The CS pin senses the primary switch current via the current sensing resistor. The voltage sensed on this
pin is used to control the operating modes to manage standby and overload protection. Operating
characteristics are programmed via two external resistors.
AUX Pin
The AUX pin provides the supply current for the internal base driver block. The AUX pin is connected to the
external supply rail via a current-limiting resistor to set the maximum base current.
BAS Pin
The BAS pin switches the external bipolar primary switch transistor on and off. The current supplied to the
switch transistor is controlled to minimize the switching losses and thereby help optimize overall system
efficiency.
GND Pin
GND pins provide the ground reference. Where the device has multiple GND pins, all must be connected to
a common, low impedance path.
