Pin Functions

PIN I/O DESCRIPTION APPLICATION INFORMATION
NO. NAME
1 COMP I Control input for the Pulse Width Modulator and Hiccup comparators. COMP pull-up is provided by an internal 5K resistor which may be used to bias an opto-coupler transistor.
2 VIN I Input voltage. Input to start-up regulator. The VIN pin is clamped at 36 V by an internal zener diode.
3 VCC O Output only of a linear bias supply regulator. Nominally 8.5 V. VCC provides bias to controller and gate drive sections of the LM5021. An external capacitor must be connected from this pin to ground.
4 OUT O MOSFET gate driver output. High current output to the external MOSFET gate input with source/sink current capability of 0.3 A and 0.7 A respectively.
5 GND — Ground return.
6 CS I Current Sense input. Current sense input for current mode control and over-current protection. Current limiting is accomplished using a dedicated current sense comparator. If the CS comparator input exceeds 0.5 V the OUT pin switches low for cycle-by-cycle current limit. CS is held low for 90ns after OUT switches high to blank the leading edge current spike.
7 RT / SYNC O Oscillator timing resistor pin and synchronization input. An external resistor connected from RT to GND sets the oscillator frequency. This pin will also accept synchronization pulses from an external clock.
8 SS O Soft-start / Hiccup time An external capacitor and an internal 22 µA current source set the soft-start ramp. The soft -start capacitor controls both the soft-start rate and the hiccup mode period.
