PIN FUNCTIONS
SENSE– (Pin 1): Connects to the (–) input for the current
comparator. Built-in offsets between the SENSE– and VIN
pinsinconjunctionwithRSENSE setthecurrenttripthresh-
olds. Do not pull this pin more than 15V below VIN or more
than 0.3V below ground.
shutdownallfunctionsaredisabledandTGpinisheldlow.
VFB (Pin 3): Receives the feedback voltage from an exter-
nal resistive divider across the output.
GND (Pin 4): Ground. Connect to the (–) terminal of COUT
,
the Schottky diode and the (–) terminal of CIN.
ITH/RUN (Pin 2): Combination of Error Amplifier Compen-
sation Point and Run Control Inputs. The current com-
parator threshold increases with this control voltage.
Nominalvoltagerangeforthispinis1.19Vto2.4V.Forcing
this pin below 0.8V causes the device to be shut down. In
SW (Pin 5): Switch Node Connection to Inductor. In step-
down applications the voltage swing at this pin is from a
Schottky diode (external) voltage drop below ground to
VIN.
