Pin Description (continued)
PIN NAME FUNCTION
22 DH High-Side Gate-Driver Output. DH swings from LX to BST. The controller pulls DH low in shutdown.
23 GND Analog Ground. Internally connected to GND.
24 VRHOT
Thermal Comparator’s Open-Drain Output. The comparator pulls VRHOT low when the voltage at
THRM drops below 30% of V CC (1.5V with 5V V CC ). VRHOT is high impedance in shutdown.
25 REF Buffered 2V Reference Output. Bypass REF with a 100pF to 1000pF capacitor. Do not exceed 1000pF.
26 ILIM
Valley Current-Limit Adjustment Input. The valley current-limit threshold voltage at CSP to CSN
equals precisely 1/10 of the differential REF to ILIM voltage over a 0.1V to 0.5V range (10mV to 50mV
current-sense range). The negative current-limit threshold is nominally -125% of the corresponding
valley current-limit threshold.
Connect ILIM directly to V
CC to set the default 22.5mV current-limit threshold setting.
27 V CC Analog Supply Voltage. Connect to a 4.5V to 5.5V source. Bypass to GND with a 1µF minimum capacitor.
28 CCV
Integrator Capacitor Connection. Connect a capacitor (C CCV ) from CCV to GND to set the integration
time constant. Choose the capacitor value according to:
16 x [C CCV /G m(CCV) ] x f SW >> 1
where G m(CCV) = 320 S (max) is the integrator’s transconductance and f SW is the switching
frequency set by the R TON resistance.
The integrator is internally disabled during any downward output-voltage transition that occurs in
pulse-skipping mode, and remains disabled until the transition blanking period expires and the
output reaches regulation (error-amplifier transition detected).
— EP
Exposed Pad (Backside). Internally connected to the substrate. Connect to the ground plane through
a thermally enhanced via.
