Pin Description 
Pin Number
SOIC-8 PSOP-8
Pin Name
Function
1 1 BOOT
Bootstrap pin. Connect a bootstrap capacitor from this pin to 
PHASE for creating a BOOT voltage suitable to drive a standard 
N-Channel MOSFET. 
2 2 UGATE
Upper-gate drive pin. Connect this pin to the upper MOSFET gate 
providing the gate drive. This pin is monitored by the adaptive 
shoot-through protection circuitry to determine when the upper 
MOSFET has turned off. 
3 3 GND
Ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured with respect to 
this pin. Connect this pin directly to the low side MOSFET source 
and ground plane with the lowest impedance. The exposed pad 
must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to GND for 
maximum power dissipation. 
4 4
LGATE/OCSET
Low-side Gate Driver Output and Over-Current Setting Input. 
This pin is the gate driver for low-side MOSFET. It is also used to 
set the maximum inductor current. Refer to the section in 
“Function Description” for detail. 
5 5 VCC
Bias supply pin. Provides a 5V or 12V bias supply for the chip 
from this pin. The pin should be bypassed with a capacitor to 
GND. 
6 6
FB
Feedback pin. This pin is the inverting input of the internal error 
amplifier. Use FB pin, in combination with the COMP pin, to 
compensate the voltage control feedback loop of the converter. A 
resistor divider from output to GND is used to set the output 
voltage. 
7 7 COMP/EN
Compensation and disable pin. This pin is the output of the Error 
Amplifier. Pull COMP pin low will shut down the IC. 
8 8 PHASE
This pin connects to the source of the upper MOSFET and the 
drain of the lower MOSFET. This pin is also monitored by the 
adaptive shoot-through protection circuitry to determine when the 
upper MOSFET has turned off.
