PI FU CTIO S
resistor divider from the auxiliary output. To synchronize
with an external clock using the PLL, apply a CMOS
compatible clock with a frequency between 250kHz and
850kHz. To select pulse-skipping operation at light loads,
tie this pin to VIN. Grounding this pin selects forced
continuous operation, which allows the inductor current to
reverse. When synchronized to an external clock, pulse-
skipping operation is enabled at light loads.
BG1/BG2 (Pins 19, 13/Pins 22, 16): Bottom (NMOS) Gate
Drive Output. These pins drive the gates of the external N-
channel MOSFETs. These pins have an output swing from
PGND to SENSE+.
SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 21, 11/Pins 24, 14): Positive
Input to Differential Current Comparator. Also powers the
gate drivers. Normally connected to the source of the ex-
ternal P-channel MOSFET.
SW1/SW2 (Pins 22, 10/Pins 1, 13): Switch Node Connec-
tion to Inductor. Also the negative input to differential peak
current comparator and an input to the reverse current com-
parator. Normally connected to the drain of the external P-
channel MOSFETs, the drain of the external N-channel
MOSFET, and the inductor.
IPRG1/IPRG2 (Pins 23, 2/Pins 2, 5): Three-State Pins to
Select Maximum Peak Sense Voltage Threshold. These pins
select the maximum allowed voltage drop between the
SENSE+ and SW pins (i.e., the maximum allowed drop
across the external P-channel MOSFET) for each channel.
Tie to VIN, GND or float to select 345mV, 167mV, or 240mV
respectively.
VFB1/VFB2 (Pins 24, 7/Pins 3, 10): Feedback Pins. Receives
the remotely sensed feedback voltage for its controller from
an external resistor divider across the output.
