VIN |
2 |
The input supply pin to the IC. Connect VIN to a supply voltage between 2.9 V and 16 V. It is acceptable for the voltage on the pin to be different from the boost power stage input. |
SW |
1, 15, 16 |
SW is the drain of the internal power MOSFET. Connect SW to the switched side of the boost or SEPIC inductor or the flyback transformer. |
FB |
8 |
Error amplifier input and feedback pin for positive voltage regulation. Connect to the center tap of a resistor divider to program the output voltage. |
EN |
3 |
Enable pin. When the voltage of this pin falls below the enable threshold for more than 1 ms, the IC turns off. |
COMP |
7 |
Output of the transconductance error amplifier. An external RC network connected to this pin compensates the regulator feedback loop. |
SS |
4 |
Soft-start programming pin. A capacitor between the SS pin and AGND pin programs soft-start timing. |
FREQ |
9 |
Switching frequency program pin. An external resistor connected between the FREQ pin and AGND sets the switching frequency. |
AGND |
6 |
Signal ground of the IC. |
PGND |
11, 12, 13 |
Power ground of the IC. It is connected to the source of the internal power MOSFET switch. |
SYNC |
5 |
Switching frequency synchronization pin. An external clock signal can be used to set the switching frequency between 200 kHz and 1 MHz. If not used, this pin should be tied to AGND. |
NC |
10, 14 |
Reserved pin that must be connected to ground. |
PowerPAD |
17 |
Solder the PowerPAD to the AGND. If possible, use thermal vias to connect to internal ground plane for improved power dissipation. |
