Pin Functions
PGND (Pins 1, 2, 3, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64,
65): Power Ground. Connect this pin closely to the (–)
terminal of C_VCC and the (–) terminal of C_IN.
SW (Pins 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 26, 55, 66): Switch
Node Connection to the Inductor. The (–) terminal of the
bootstrap capacitor C_B also connects here. This pin swings
from a diode voltage drop below ground up to V_IN.
PV_IN (Pins 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22,
23, 24, 25, 67): Main Input Supply. Decouple this pin to
power PGND with the input capacitance C_IN.
NC (Pin 27): No Connection.
SGND (Pins 28, 31, 32, 33, 34, 40, 42, 45, 46, 47, 48,
49, 50, 68): Signal Ground. All small-signal components
and compensation components should connect to this
ground, which in turn connects to PGND at one point.
BOOST (Pin 29): Boosted Floating Driver Supply. The
(+) terminal of the bootstrap capacitor C_B connects here.
This pin swings from a diode voltage drop below INTV_CC
up to V_IN + INTV_CC.
RUN/SS (Pin 30): Run Control and Soft-Start Input. A
capacitor to ground at this pin sets the ramp time to full
output current (approximately 3s/µF) and the time delay
for overcurrent latchoff (see Applications Information).
Forcing this pin below 0.8V shuts down the device.
V_ON (Pin 35): On-Time Voltage Input. Voltage trip point for
the on-time comparator. Tying this pin to the output volt-
age or an external resistive divider from the output makes
the on-time proportional to V_OUT. The comparator input
defaults to 0.7V when the pin is grounded and defaults to
2.4V when the pin is tied to INTV_CC. Tie this pin to INTV_CC
in high V_OUT applications to use a lower R_ON value.
PGOOD (Pin 36): Power Good Output. Open-drain logic
output that is pulled to ground when the output voltage
is not within ± 10% of the regulation point.
V_RNG (Pin 37): Current Limit Range Input. The voltage at
this pin adjusts maximum valley current and can be set
from 0.5V to 0.7V by a resistive divider from INTV_CC. It
defaults to 0.7V if the V_RNG pin is tied to ground which
results in a typical 19A current limit.
I_TH (Pin 38): Current Control Threshold and Error Amplifier
Compensation Point. The current comparator threshold
increases with this control voltage. The voltage ranges
from 0V to 2.4V with 0.8V corresponding to zero sense
voltage (zero current).
FCB (Pin 39): Forced Continuous Input. Tie this pin to
ground to force continuous synchronous operation at low
load, to INTV_CC to enable discontinuous mode operation at
low load or to a resistive divider from a secondary output
when using a secondary winding.
I_ON (Pin 41): On-Time Current Input. Tie a resistor from V_IN
to this pin to set the one-shot timer current and thereby
set the switching frequency.
V_FB (Pin 43): Error Amplifier Feedback Input. This pin
connects the error amplifier input to an external resistive
divider from V_OUT.
EXTV_CC (Pin 44): External V_CC Input. When EXTV_CC exceeds
4.7V, an internal switch connects this pin to INTV_CC and
shuts down the internal regulator so that controller and
gate drive power is drawn from EXTV_CC. Do not exceed
7V at this pin and ensure that EXTV_CC < V_IN.
SV_IN (Pins 51, 52): Supply Pin for Internal PWM
Controller.
INTV_CC (Pins 53, 54): Internal 5V Regulator Output. The
driver and control circuits are powered from this voltage.
Decouple this pin to power ground with a minimum of
4.7µF low ESR tantalum or ceramic capacitor.
