Pin Description
Pin Number
Pin Name
Function
1
BS
Bootstrap pin. A bootstrap capacitor is connected between the BS pin 
and SW pin. The voltage across the bootstrap capacitor drives the 
internal high-side power MOSFET 
2
IN
Supply power input pin. A capacitor should be connected between the 
IN pin and GND pin to keep the input voltage constant 
3
SW
Power switch output pin. This pin is connected to the inductor and 
bootstrap capacitor 
4
GND Ground
pin
5
FB
Feedback pin. This pin is connected to an external resistor divider to 
program the system output voltage. When the FB pin voltage exceeds 
1.1V, the over voltage protection is triggered. When the FB pin 
voltage is below 0.3V, the oscillator frequency is lowered to realize 
short circuit protection 
6
COMP
Compensation pin. This pin is the output of the transconductance 
error amplifier and the input to the current comparator. It is used to 
compensate the control loop. Connect a series RC network from this 
pin to GND. In some cases, an additional capacitor from this pin to 
GND pin is required 
7
EN
Control input pin. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or 
off. Drive EN high/low to turn on/off the regulator. Pull up with 
100k
Ω resistor for automatic startup
8
SS
Soft-start control input pin. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect 
a capacitor from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1
μF
capacitor sets the soft-start period to 15ms. To disable the soft-start 
feature, leave SS unconnected
