PRODUCTION DATA
PIN | TYPE(1) | DESCRIPTION | |
---|---|---|---|
NAME | NO. | ||
AGND | 9 | — | Analog signal ground. This pin must be electrically connected to power ground PGND externally. |
BOOT | 18 | O | Boot-capacitor node for high-side FET gate driver. The boot capacitor is connected from this pin to SW. |
COMP | 8 | O | Output of the internal error amplifier. The feedback loop compensation network is connected from this pin to the FB pin. |
ENABLE | 1 | I | This pin must be high for the device to be enabled. If this pin is pulled low, the device is put in a low-power-consumption shutdown mode. |
FB | 7 | I | Negative input to the error amplifier. The output voltage is fed back to this pin through a resistor-divider network. |
HDRV | 17 | O | Gate-driver output for the high-side FET. |
ILIM | 12 | I | A resistor from this pin to PGND sets the overcurrent limit. This pin provides source current used for the overcurrent-protection threshold setting. |
LDRV | 14 | O | Gate driver output for the low-side FET. Also, a resistor from this pin to PGND sets the multiplier factor to determine the short-circuit current limit. If no resistor is present, the multiplier defaults to 7 times the ILIM pin voltage. |
M/S | 3 | I | Primary- or secondary-mode selector pin for frequency synchronization. This pin must be tied to VIN for primary mode. In the secondary mode, this pin must be tied to AGND or left floating. If the pin is tied to AGND, the device synchronizes with a 180° phase shift. If the pin is left floating, the device synchronizes with a 0° phase shift. |
PGND | 13 | — | Power ground. This pin must externally connect to the AGND at a single point. |
PGOOD | 11 | O | Power-good indicator. This pin is an open-drain output pin, and TI recommends a 10-kΩ pullup resistor to be connected between this pin and VDD. |
RT | 4 | I | A resistor from this pin to AGND sets the oscillator frequency. Even if operating in secondary mode, it is required to have a resistor at this pin to set the free-running switching frequency. |
SS | 5 | I | Soft-start. A capacitor must be connected from this pin to AGND. The capacitor value sets the soft-start time. |
SW | 16 | I | This pin must connect to the switching node of the synchronous buck converter. The high-side and low-side FET current sensing are also done from this node. |
SYNC | 2 | I/O | Synchronization. This is a bidirectional pin used for frequency synchronization. In the primary mode, it is the SYNC output pin. In the secondary mode, it is a SYNC input pin. If unused, this pin can be left open. |
TRK | 6 | I | Tracking. External signal at this pin is used for output voltage tracking. This pin goes directly to the internal error amplifier as a positive reference. The lesser of the voltages between VTRK and the internal 600-mV reference sets the output voltage. If not used, this pin must be pulled up to VDD. |
UVLO | 20 | I | Undervoltage lockout. A resistor divider on this pin from VIN to AGND can be used to set the UVLO threshold. |
VBP | 15 | O | 8-V regulated output for gate driver. A ceramic capacitor with a value between 1 µF and 10 µF must be connected from this pin to PGND |
VDD | 10 | O | 3.3-V regulated output. A ceramic bypass capacitor with a value between 0.1 µF and 1 µF must be connected between this pin and the AGND pin and placed closely to this pin. |
VIN | 19 | I | Input voltage for the controller, which is also the input voltage for the dc-dc converter. A 1-µF bypass capacitor from this pin to AGND must be added and placed closed to VIN. |
