PRODUCTION DATA
For applications with external feedback divider use a resistive divider network from the output capacitance to the FB-pin. Use the following equation to calculate the resistor values.
To maintain fixed voltage and interface programmable voltage the device contains an internal voltage divider. In this case the FB is not used for sensing the output voltage for the loop regulation. Instead the VOUT-pin is used to sense the output voltage on the power stage.
The selection between internal and external feedback divider is done through the FB pin. If the voltage on the FB-pin is higher than VT+(SEL,iFB), before the soft-start is initiated, the device will operate with a internal or external feedback. The selection of internal and external FB cannot be done dynamically and the pin information gets latched until the next EN or V(POR) power cycle. A typical way of selecting the internal feedback divider is to connect it to VCC2 before the EN pin gets pulled high
The ratio of the internal feedback divider can be changed with the SEL_DIV20 bit. (see Table 9-16).
It is recommended to (re-)write VOUT_A after changing SEL_DIV20 bit.
Below an overview of the possible Vo setting according the VOUT_A and SEL_DIV20
