NAME FUNCTION
1 LDOL
Internal, Ground-Referenced Low-Dropout Linear Regulator Output.
Bypass with a 0.1µF capacitor in parallel with a 4.7µF capacitor to GND.
2 TOFF
Off-Time Select Input. A resistor (R
TOFF
) connected from this pin to GND programs the off-time for the hys-
teretic PWM step-down converter. This resistor also sets the period in duty-cycle mode. See Duty-Cycle
Mode and Programming the Off-Time.
PIN
3, 4 D1, D0 Digital Inputs. Select mode of operation (Table 1).
5 CC Constant-Current Loop Compensation Input. Bypass with a 0.01µF capacitor to GND.
8 TERM
Maximum Output Voltage Termination Input. When V TERM exceeds the reference voltage, the comparator
resets the internal PWM latch, shutting off the external P-channel FET.
7 SET
Current Select Input. Program the desired current level by applying a voltage at SET between 0V and V REF ,
(I = V SET / 13.3R SENSE ). See Figure 3.
6 REF Reference Voltage Output (V
REF
= 2V). Bypass with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
13 NDRV Gate Drive for an Optional N-Channel FET Synchronous Rectifier
12 PGND High-Current Ground Return for the Output Drivers
11 CS+ Positive Current-Sense Comparator Input
10 CS- Negative Current-Sense Comparator Input
9 GND Ground
14 PDRV Gate Drive for the P-Channel FET
15 LDOH
Internal, Input-Referenced Low-Dropout Linear Regulator Output.
Bypass with a 0.33µF capacitor to IN.
16 IN Power-Supply Input. Input of the internal, low-dropout linear regulators.
