Table 5-1 Pin Functions
PIN TYPE(1) DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
GND 1, 2 G Power and analog ground terminal. All electrical parameters are measured with respect to this pin. Connect a high-quality bypass capacitor directly to this pin and VIN with short and wide traces.
EN 3 A Enable input to regulator. High = ON, low = OFF. Can be connected directly to VIN. Do not float.
NC 4 No Connect. Floating pin.
VIN 5,6 P Input supply to the regulator. Connect a high-quality bypass capacitor or capacitors directly to this pin and GND with short and wide traces.
RT/SYNC 7 A Resistor timing or external clock input. An internal amplifier holds this pin at a fixed voltage when using an external resistor to ground to set the switching frequency. If the pin is pulled above the PLL upper threshold, a mode change occurs and the pin becomes a synchronization input. The internal amplifier is disabled and the pin is now a high impedance clock input to the internal PLL. If clocking edges stop, the internal amplifier is re-enabled and the operating mode returns to frequency programming by resistor.
FB 8 A Feedback input to the regulator. Connect to tap point of the feedback voltage divider. Do not float. Do not ground.
PG 9 A Open-drain power-good flag output. Connect to a suitable voltage supply through a current limiting resistor. High = power OK, low = power bad. The flag pulls low when EN = low. Can be left open when not used.
BOOT 10 P Bootstrap supply voltage for the internal high-side driver. Connect a high-quality 100nF capacitor from this pin to the SW pin.
SW 11,12 P Regulator switch node. Connect to a power inductor.
EP THERMAL PAD Thermal Connect to system ground.
A = Analog, P = Power, G = Ground
