source output of the error amplifier. By connecting an RC

network from this pin to ground, frequency response can

be tuned for a wide range of circuit configurations. The

voltage at this pin also sets the current limit, and if

grounded, the switch will remain in the OFF state.

FB (Pin 2): Feedback Pin. This pin is the negative input to

the error amplifier. Connect the resistor divider tap to this

next to this pin.

GND (Pin 4): Ground Pin. Connect directly to local ground

plane.

SW (Pin 5): Switch Pin. Connect inductor and boost

capacitor here. Minimize trace area at this pin to keep EMI

down.

BOOST (Pin 6): This is the supply pin for the switch driver

tion. Connect the boost capacitor to this pin.

MODE (Pin 7): Burst Mode Operation Disable Pin. For

continuous switching operation (low noise), pull this pin

above 2V. For Burst Mode operation which gives better

light load efficiency, tie to ground. Output ripple voltage in

tions section for more information about this function.

SHDN (Pin 8): Shutdown Pin. Pull this pin low for shut-

down mode. Tie to a voltage between 2V and 5.5V for

normal operation.
