APW7302B
Pin Description
PIN
FUNCTION
NO.
NAME
High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BS supplies the voltage to drive the high-side N-channel MOSFET. At
least 10nF capacitor should be connected from LX to BS to supply the high side switch.
1
BS
Power Input. VIN supplies the power (4.5V to 24V) to the control circuitry, gate drivers and step-down
converter switches. Connecting a ceramic bypass capacitor and a suitably large capacitor between VIN and
GND eliminates switching noise and voltage ripple on the input to the IC.
2
VIN
Power Switching Output. LX is the Drain of the N-Channel power MOSFET to supply power to the output LC
filter.

LX
GND
Ground. Connect the exposed pad on backside to Pin 4.
Output feedback Input. The APW7302B senses the feedback voltage via FB and regulates the voltage at
0.92V. Connecting FB with a resistor-divider from the converter’s output sets the output voltage from 0.92V
to 20V.
5
FB
Output of the error amplifier. Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND to compensate the
regulation control loop. In some cases, an additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required.

COMP
EN
Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Pull up with 100kW resistor for automatic
startup.
Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND to set the
soft-start period. A 0.1mF capacitor sets the soft-start period to 15ms. To disable the soft-start feature, leave
SS unconnected.
