Figure 25: TRIM Connection
The output as a function of VTRIM is defined by equation (1) for
1.00 V ≤ VTRIM ≤ 2.75 V, and allows for an output voltage
ranging from 20V to 55V.
The TRIM pin is pulled up internally to VCC_INT thorough a
10 kΩ resistor. VTRIM can be actively set with a DAC that is
ground referenced to SGND. VTRIM can be passively set by
connecting a resistor, RTRIM, from TRIM to SGND such that the
voltage divider made with VCC_INT and the 10 kΩ pull up yields
the desired VTRIM. The formula for calculating this resistor is
provided in Equation (1a).

For 1.00 V≤ VTRIM ≤ 2.75 V
Where VOUT_SET is the desired output voltage
The output voltage tranfer function saturates for applied TRIM
voltages above approximately 2.75V as illustrated in Figure 26
to prevent the output from being driven above its rated output
voltage.
When TRIM is set lower than 1.00 V the output voltage is not
specified and stable operation is not guaranteed.

When trim is enabled the voltage at this pin is sampled at
120 µs intervals to determine the trim level. The output can be
dynamically trimmed during normal operation, however it is not
recommended to use this pin in an external analog feedback
loop.
Refer to Table 1 for a summary of the TRIM pin functionality
and the recommended voltage/resistance that should be
applied to this pin.
