(1) The drive pin voltage, VDR, is equal to the input voltage when input voltage is less than 6 V. VDR is equal to 6 V when the input voltage is greater than or equal to 6 V.
(2) For this test, the FA/SYNC/SD Pin is pulled to ground using a 40-kΩ resistor.
(3) For this test, the FA/SYNC/SD Pin is pulled to 3 V using a 40-kΩ resistor.
(4) The overvoltage protection is specified with respect to the feedback voltage. This is because the overvoltage protection tracks the feedback voltage. The overvoltage threshold can be calculated by adding the feedback voltage (VFB) to the overvoltage protection specification.
(5) The FA/SYNC/SD pin should be pulled high through a resistor to turn the regulator off. The voltage on the FA/SYNC/SD pin must be above the max limit for the Output = High longer than 30 µs to keep the regulator off and must be below the minimum limit for Output = Low to keep the regulator on.
