PIN DESCRIPTIONS
AOUT1, BOUT1: AOUT1 and BOUT1 are open collector AREFIN: The voltage on AREFIN is generated inter-

plifier and current limit comparators when operating in
single supply mode. A buffer amplifier is connected be-
tween AREFIN and AREF. In bipolar supply applications
AREFIN is usually connected to VEE, which disables
the buffer amplifier, and AREF is connected to 0V.
AOUT2, BOUT2: AOUT2 and BOUT2 are totem pole
output drivers capable of driving external power MOS-
FETs directly. The peak current ratings are 500mA. An
integrated zener clamp limits the drive output amplitude

Compensation and DC gain setting resistors are con-
nected between COMP and INV.
AREF: The voltage on AREF is simply a buffered ver-
sion of the voltage on AREFIN. In single supply applica-
tions, AREF should be bypassed to VEE with a 0.1µF CS-: This is the inverting input to the X5 current sense
