Pin Functions
R_T (Pin 1): Timing Resistor to Program the Oscillator
Frequency. The programming frequency range is 300kHz
to 2MHz.
f_OSC
=
6
• 10¹⁰
R_T
Hz
MODE/SYNC (Pin 2): MODE/SYNC = External CLK : Syn-
chronization of the internal oscillator. A clock frequency
of twice the desired switching frequency and with a pulse
width between 100ns and 2µs is applied. The oscillator
free running frequency is set slower than the desired
synchronized switching frequency to guarantee sync.
The oscillator R_T component value required is given by:
R_T
=

• 10¹⁰
f_SW
where f_SW = desired synchronized switching frequency.
SW1 (Pin 3): Switch Pin Where the Internal Switches
A and B are Connected. Connect inductor from SW1 to
SW2. An optional Schottky diode can be connected from
SW1 to ground. Minimize trace length to keep EMI down.
SW2 (Pin 4): Switch Pin Where the Internal Switches C
and D are Connected. For applications with output voltages
over 4.3V, a Schottky diode is required from SW2 to V_OUT
to ensure the SW pin does not exhibit excess voltage.
GND (Pin 5): Signal and Power Ground for the IC.
V_OUT (Pin 6): Output of the Synchronous Rectifier. A filter
capacitor is placed from V_OUT to GND.
V_IN (Pin 7): Input Supply Pin. Internal V_CC for the IC. A
ceramic bypass capacitor as close to the V_IN pin and GND
(Pin 5) is required.
SHDN/SS (Pin 8): Combined Soft-Start and Shutdown.
Grounding this pin shuts down the IC. Tie to >1.5V to
enable the IC and >2.5V to ensure the error amp is not
clamped from soft-start. An RC from the shutdown com-
mand signal to this pin will provide a soft-start function
by limiting the rise time of the V_C pin.
FB (Pin 9): Feedback Pin. Connect resistor divider tap
here. The output voltage can be adjusted from 2.5V to
5.5V. The feedback reference voltage is typically 1.22V.
V_C (Pin 10): Error Amp Output. A frequency compensa-
tion network is connected from this pin to the FB pin to
compensate the loop. See the section “Compensating the
Feedback Loop” for guidelines.
Exposed Pad (Pin 11, DFN Package Only): Ground. This
pin must be soldered to the PCB and electrically connected
to ground.
