Description
High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BS supplies the drive for the high-side n-channel MOSFET switch.
Connect a 10nF or greater capacitor from SW to BS to power the high-side switch.
Power Input. IN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter switches. Drive IN
with a 4.75V to 18V power source. Bypass IN to GND with a suitably large capacitor to eliminate noise
on the input to the IC.
Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. Connect the
output LC filter from SW to the output load. Note that a capacitor is required from SW to BS to power
the high-side switch.
Ground.
Feedback Input. FB senses the output voltage to regulate that voltage. Drive FB with a resistive
voltage divider from the output voltage. The feedback threshold is 1.22V.
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control loop. Connect a series RC
network from COMP to GND to compensate the regulation control loop.
Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn on the
regulator, drive it low to turn it off. For automatic startup, leave EN unconnected.
