PIN FUNCTIONS
Pin # Name Description
High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BS supplies the drive for the high-side N-Channel MOSFET
1 BS
switch. Connect a 0.01μF or greater capacitor from SW to BS to power the high side switch.
Power Input. IN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter switches.
2 IN Drive IN with a 4.7V to 28V power source. Bypass IN to GND with a suitably large capacitor to
eliminate noise on the input to the IC. See Input Capacitor.
Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. Connect
3 SW the output LC filter from SW to the output load. Note that a capacitor is required from SW to
BS to power the high-side switch.
4 GND Ground (Connect Exposed Pad to Pin 4)
Feedback Input. FB senses the output voltage to regulate that voltage. Drive FB with a
5 FB resistive voltage divider from the output voltage. The feedback threshold is 0.80V. See Setting
the Output Voltage.
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control loop. Connect a
series RC network from COMP to GND to compensate the regulation control loop. In some
6 COMP
cases, an additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required. See Compensation
Components.
Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn on
7 EN the regulator, drive it low to turn it off. Connect EN with IN through a resistive voltage divider
for automatic startup. Do not float this pin.
Soft-start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND
8 SS to set the soft-start period. A 0.1μF capacitor sets the soft-start period to 15ms. To disable the
soft-start feature, leave SS unconnected.
