Table 4-1 Pin Functions
PIN TYPE(1) DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
NC1 1, 15 NC Used to anchor QFN package to PCB. Pins must be soldered to PCB landing pads. The PCB landing pads are non-solder mask defined pads and must not be physically connected to any other metal on the PCB. Internally connected to D.
D 2-14 P GaN FET drain. Internally connected to NC1.
NC2 16, 20, 38 NC Used to anchor QFN package to PCB. Pins must be soldered to PCB landing pads. The PCB landing pads are non-solder mask defined pads and must not be physically connected to any other metal on the PCB. Internally connected to AGND, S and, PAD.
S 17-19, 21-29 P GaN FET source. Internally connected to AGND, PAD, and NC2.
EN 30 I Enable. Used to toggle between active and standby modes. The standby mode has reduced quiescent current to support converter light load efficiency targets. There is a forward based ESD diode from EN to AUX so avoid driving EN higher than AUX.
IN 31 I Gate-drive control input. There is a forward based ESD diode from IN to AUX so avoid driving IN higher than AUX.
AGND 32 GND Analog ground. Internally connected to S, PAD, and NC2.
CS 33 O Current-sense emulation output. Outputs scaled replica of the GaN FET current. Feed output current into a resistor to create a current sense voltage signal. The resistor should be referenced to the power supply controller IC local ground. This function replaces the external current sense resistor that is used in series with the FET source.
NC3 34 NC Used to anchor QFN package to PCB. Pin must be soldered to a PCB landing pad. The PCB landing pad is non-solder mask defined pads and must not be physically connected to any other metal on the PCB. Pin not connected internally.
FLT 35 O Active-low fault output. Open-drain output that asserts during overtemperature protection.
AUX 36 P Auxiliary voltage rail. Device supply voltage. Connect a local bypass capacitor between AUX and AGND.
RDRV 37 I Drive strength control resistor. Set a resistance between RDRV and AGND to program the GaN FET turn-on slew rate.
PAD — — Thermal pad. Internally connected to S, AGND, and NC2. All the S current may be conducted with PAD (PAD = S).
(1) I = input, O = output, I/O = input or output, GND = ground, P = power, NC = no connect.
