DRIVE3 (Pin 18)
LGATE (Pin 25)
Connect this pin to the gate of an external MOSFET. Connect LGATE to the PWM converter’s lower

PHASE (Pin 26)
Connect this pin to the output of the 1.5V linear Connect the PHASE pin to the PWM converter’s up-
regulator. This pin is monitored for under-voltage per MOSFET source. This pin represents the gate
events.
drive return current path and is used to monitor the
voltage drop across the upper MOSFET for over-cur-
rent protection.
COMP and FB (Pin 20, and 21)
COMP and FB are the available external pins of the UGATE (Pin 27)
PWM converter error amplifier. The FB pin is the in-
verting input of the error amplifier. Similarly, the COMP Connect UGATE pin to the PWM converter’s upper

VSEN1 (Pin 22)
Provide a 12V bias supply for the IC to this pin. This

OCSET (Pin 23)
Connect a resistor from this pin to the drain of the
respective upper MOSFET. This resistor, an internal
200µA current source, and the upper MOSFET’s on-
resistance set the converter over-current trip point.
An over-current trip cycles the soft-start function.
The voltage at this pin is monitored for power-on re-
set (POR) purposes and pulling this pin low with an
open drain device will shutdown the IC.
PGND (Pin 24)
This is the power ground connection. Tie the syn-
chronous PWM converter’s lower MOSFET source
to this pin.
