FUNCTION
Battery Voltage Sense Connection. V+ is used only for PWM one-shot timing. DH on-time is inversely propor-
tional to V+ input voltage over a range of 2V to 28V.
Shutdown Control Input, active low.
SHDN
cannot withstand the battery voltage. In shutdown mode, DL is
forced to V
DD
in order to enforce overvoltage protection, even when powered down (unless
OVP
is high).
Fast Feedback Input, normally connected to V
OUT
. FB is connected to the bulk output filter capacitors local-
ly at the power supply. An external resistor-divider can optionally set the output voltage.
Feedback Remote-Sense Input, normally connected to V
OUT
directly at the load. FBS internally connects to
the integrator that fine-tunes the DC output voltage. Tie FBS to V
CC
to disable all three integrator amplifiers.
Tie FBS to FB (or disable the integrators) when externally adjusting the output voltage with a resistor-divider.
Integrator Capacitor Connection. Connect a 100pF to 1000pF (470pF typical) capacitor to GND to set the
integration time constant.
Current-Limit Threshold Adjustment. Connects to an external resistor to GND. The LX-PGND current-limit
threshold defaults to +100mV if ILIM is tied to V
CC
. The current-limit threshold is 1/10 of the voltage forced at
ILIM. In adjustable mode the threshold is V
TH
= R
LIM
·
5µA/10.
Analog Supply Voltage Input for PWM Core, 4.5V to 5.5V. Bypass V
CC
to GND with a 0.1µF minimum
capacitor.
On-Time Selection Control Input. This is a four-level input that sets the K factor to determine DH on-time.
GND = 550kHz, REF = 400kHz, open = 300kHz, V
CC
= 200kHz.
2.0V Reference Output. Bypass REF to GND with a 0.22µF minimum capacitor. REF can source 50µA for
external loads. Loading REF degrades FB accuracy according to the REF load-regulation error
(see
Electrical Characteristics).
