AGND |
1 |
G |
Analog signal ground of the IC. AGND should be connected to PGND and VG- at a single point on PCB (e.g. underneath the IC). |
BOOTA |
8 |
S |
Bootstrap capacitor node for phase A high-side MOSFET gate driver. Connect the bootstrap capacitor from this pin to the SCAP pin (pin 9). |
BOOTB |
10 |
S |
Bootstrap capacitor node for phase B high-side MOSFET gate driver. Connect the bootstrap capacitor from this pin to the SWB pin. |
EN |
4 |
I |
Enable pin. Floating this pin will enable the IC. Pull below 1.23V to enter shutdown mode. Can also be used to adjust the input undervoltage lockout above 8 V with two resistors. |
FB |
18 |
I |
Feedback pin for voltage regulation. Connect this pin to the center tap of a resistor divider to set the output voltage. |
ILIM |
5 |
I |
Current limit programming pin. A resistor between this pin and ground sets the current limit. If no resistor is included, the default load current limit is 15 A. |
NC |
11 |
|
No connect. This pin is not electrically connected to the IC and is included for board level reliability (BLR) purposes. Connect this pin to the SCAP trace. |
PGND |
2 |
G |
Power ground of the IC. PGND should be connected to AGND and VG- at a single point on PCB (e.g. underneath the IC). Thermal vias to internal ground planes should be added beneath this pin. |
PGOOD |
15 |
O |
Power good indicator. This pin is an open-drain output and will assert low if the output voltage is greater than ±5% away from the desired value or due to thermal shutdown, over-voltage/under-voltage, EN shutdown, or during soft start. A pull-up resistor can be connected between PGOOD and VG+ or an external logic supply pin. |
SCAP |
9,20 |
O |
Series capacitor pin. Connect a ceramic capacitor from pin 20 to the SWA pin. |
SS/FSEL |
6 |
I |
Soft start/frequency select pin. Connect a resistor from this pin to ground to set the soft-start time and the switching frequency. If no resistor is provided, the default setting of 4MHz oscillator frequency and 512µs soft start time is used. |
SWA |
13 |
O |
Switching node for phase A. Connect an inductor from this pin to the output capacitors. |
SWB |
12 |
O |
Switching node for phase B. Connect an inductor from this pin to the output capacitors. |
SYNC |
14 |
I |
External clock synchronization pin. An external clock signal can be connected to this pin to synchronize the oscillator frequency (within ±10% of the nominal frequency set via SS/FSEL). |
TON |
19 |
I |
On-time selection. An external resistor from this pin to the AGND pin programs the nominal on-time of the high side switches. |
VG+ |
16 |
S |
Gate driver positive supply pin. Connect a bypass capacitor from this pin to VG-. To improve converter efficiency, the internal regulator can be overridden by connecting an external 5V supply to this pin. This supply rail also provides power to the control circuitry. |
VG- |
17 |
G |
Gate driver supply return pin. VG- should be connected to PGND and AGND at a single point on PCB (e.g. underneath the IC). |
VGA |
7 |
S |
High side phase A gate driver supply pin. Connect a bypass capacitor from this pin to ground. |
VIN |
3 |
I |
The power input pin to the IC. Connect VIN to a supply voltage between 8 V and 14 V. |
