Smart Configuration Pin

The smart configuration pin is one of the primary contributors to the space savings and a key differentiator between the next generation devices and their predecessors. The SCONFIG pin allows the user the flexibility to select the settings of four features (feedback/voltage set, switching frequency, FPWM/PFM, and output discharge) with only one resistor. In the previous generation, each of these features would have to be configured individually. There are several advantages associated with this pin, too many to discuss in this document. To learn more about smart config pins and all of their design benefits, reference the document Multi-Function Pins are Easy.
