Pin Function
Internal +5V Linear Regulator Output. VDD is the internal supply bus for the device. A 4.7μF ceramic
capacitor from VDD to AGND is required for decoupling. In the applications with VIN < +5.5V, VDD
should be tied to VIN to by-pass the linear regulator.
5V supply input for the low-side N-channel MOSFET driver, which can be tied to VDD externally. A
4.7μF ceramic capacitor from PVDD to PGND is recommended for decoupling.
Current Limit Setting. Connect a resistor from SW to ILIM to set the over-current threshold for the
converter.
Low-Side Drive output. High-current driver output for external low-side MOSFET of a buck converter.
The DL driving voltage swings from ground to VDD. Adding a small resistor between DL pin and the
gate of the low-side N-channel MOSFET can slow down the turn-on and turn-off speed of the
MOSFET.
Power Ground. PGND is the return path for the buck converter power stage. The PGND pin
connects to the sources of low-side N-Channel external MOSFET, the negative terminals of input
capacitors, and the negative terminals of output capacitors. The return path for the power ground
should be as small as possible and separate from the signal ground (AGND) return path.
Switching Frequency Adjust input. Tie this pin to VIN to operate at 600kHz and place a resistor
divider to reduce the frequency.
