PRODUCTION DATA.
The device has two pins for input (IN) and output (OUT). All IN pins must be connected together and to the power source. A ceramic bypass capacitor close to the device from IN to GND is recommended to alleviate bus transients. The recommended input operating voltage range is 4.2 V to 40 V. Similarly all OUT pins must be connected together and to the load. V(OUT), in the ON condition, is calculated using Equation 9.
where
The GND pin must be connected to the system ground. RTN is the device ground reference for all the internal control blocks. Connect the device support components: R(ILIM), C(dVdT), R(IMON), R(MODE) and resistors for UVLO and OVP with respect to the RTN pin. Internally, the device has reverse input polarity protection block between RTN and the GND terminal. Connecting RTN pin to GND pin disables the reverse input polarity protection feature. if negative input voltage is applied on IN pins with RTN pin connected to GND, the device can get damaged.
