Pin Functions

PINI/ODESCRIPTION
NAMENO.
ISEN 1 I Current sense input pin. Voltage generated across an external sense resistor is fed into this pin.
COMP 2 I Compensation pin. A resistor, capacitor combination connected to this pin provides compensation for the control loop.
FB 3 I Feedback pin. The output voltage should be adjusted using a resistor divider to provide 1.26 V at this pin.
AGND 4 G Analog ground pin.
PGND 5 G Power ground pin.
DR 6 O Drive pin. The gate of the external MOSFET should be connected to this pin.
FA/SD 7 I Frequency adjust and Shutdown pin. A resistor connected to this pin sets the oscillator frequency. A high level on this pin for longer than 30 µs will turn the device off. The device will then draw less than 10µA from the supply.
VIN 8 P Power Supply Input pin.
