PRODUCTION DATA.
PIN | I/O | DESCRIPTION | |
---|---|---|---|
NO. | NAME | ||
1 | Error Flag | O | Open collector output that provides a low signal (flag transistor ON) when the regulated output voltage drops more than 5% from the nominal output voltage. On start up, Error Flag is low until VOUT reaches 95% of the nominal output voltage and a delay time determined by the Delay pin capacitor. This signal can be used as a reset to a microprocessor on power up. |
2 | Delay | O | At power-up, this pin can be used to provide a time delay between the time the regulated output voltage reaches 95% of the nominal output voltage, and the time the error flag output goes high. |
3 | Bias Supply | I | This feature allows the regulators internal circuitry to be powered from the regulated output voltage or an external supply, instead of the input voltage. This results in increased efficiency under some operating conditions, such as low output current or high input voltage. |
4 | Feedback | I | Senses the regulated output voltage to complete the feedback loop. |
5 | Shutdown/Soft-Start | I | This dual function pin provides the following features: (a) Allows the switching regulator circuit to be shut down using logic level signals thus dropping the total input supply current to approximately 80 μA. (b) Adding a capacitor to this pin provides a soft-start feature which minimizes start-up current and provides a controlled ramp up of the output voltage. |
6 | Ground | — | Circuit ground |
7 | +VIN | I | This is the positive input supply for the IC switching regulator. A suitable input bypass capacitor must be present at this pin to minimize voltage transients and to supply the switching currents required by the regulator. |
8 | Output | O | Internal switch. The voltage at this pin switches between (+VIN − VSAT) and approximately −0.5 V, with a duty cycle of VOUT/VIN. To minimize coupling to sensitive circuitry, the PCB copper area connected to this pin must be kept to a minimum. |
