TERMINAL FUNCTIONS (continued)
NAME
PIN #
I/O
DESCRIPTION
Phase B Current Amplifier Output. Output of phase B’s transconductance current amplifier.
Internally connected to the inverting input of phase B’s PWM comparator for trailing-edge
modulation. Connect the current regulation loop compensation components between this pin and
GND.
CAOB

O
Phase A Current Amplifier Output. Output of phase A’s transconductance current amplifier.
Internally connected to the inverting input of phase A’s PWM comparator for trailing-edge
modulation. Connect the current regulation loop compensation components between this pin and
GND.
CAOA

O
6-V Reference Voltage and Internal Bias Voltage. Connect a 0.1-μF ceramic bypass capacitor
as close as possible to this pin and GND.

O
Phase A’s Gate Drive. This limited-current output is intended to connect to a separate gate-drive
device suitable for driving the Phase A switching component(s). The output voltage is typically
clamped to 13.5 V.
Bias Voltage Input. Connect a 0.1-μF ceramic bypass capacitor as close as possible to this pin
and GND.
I
Device Ground Reference. Connect all compensation and programming resistor and capacitor
networks to this pin. Connect this pin to the system through a separate trace for high-current
noise isolation.
I/O
Phase B’s Gate Drive. This limited-current output is intended to connect to a separate
gate-drivedevice suitable for driving the Phase B switching component(s). The output voltage is
typically clamped to 13.5 V.

O
I
Soft-Start and External Fault Interface. Connect a capacitor to GND on this pin to set the
soft-start slew rate based on an internally-fixed 10-μA current source. The regulation reference
voltage for VSENSE is clamped to VSS until VSS exceeds 3 V. Upon recovery from certain fault
conditions a 1-mA current source is present at the SS pin until the SS voltage equals the
VSENSE voltage. Pulling the SS pin below 0.6 V immediately disables both GDA and GDB
outputs.
Timing Resistor. Oscillator frequency programming pin. A resistor to GND sets the running
frequency of the internal oscillator.

I
I
Maximum Duty-Cycle Resistor. Maximum PWM duty-cycle programming pin. A resistor to GND
DMAX
sets the PWM maximum duty-cycle based on the ratio of RDMX/RRT
.
