FUNCTION
1
EN3
EN3
Enable Input for Regulator 3. Drive EN3 high or connect to IN34 to turn on regulator 3. Drive low
to turn off regulator 3 and reduce input quiescent current.
2
OUT3
OUT3
Output of Regulator 3. Bypass OUT3 with a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor to GND. OUT3 is
discharged to GND through an internal 1k
Ω in shutdown.
3
IN34
IN34
Input Voltage for LDO Regulators 3 and 4. Supply voltage range is from 1.7V to 5.5V. This
supply voltage must not exceed V
IN12
. Connect a 4.7µF or larger ceramic capacitor from IN34
to ground.

OUT4
OUT4
Output of Regulator 4. Bypass OUT4 with a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor to GND. OUT4 is
discharged to GND through an internal 1k
Ω in shutdown.

Ground
7
REF
REF
Reference Output. Bypass REF with a 0.01µF ceramic capacitor to GND.
8
OUT2
—
Feedback Input for Regulator 2. Connect OUT2 directly to the output of step-down regulator 2.
—
FB2
Feedback Input for Regulator 2. Connect FB2 to the center of a resistor feedback divider
between the output of regulator 2 and ground to set the output voltage. See the Setting the
Output Voltages and Voltage Positioning section.
