PIN I/O DESCRIPTION
NAME HTSSOP QFN
EN/UVLO 1 26 I Enable pin. For EN/UVLO < 0.4 V, the LM5176 is in a low current shutdown mode. For EN/UVLO > 1.22 V, the PWM function is enabled, provided VCC exceeds the VCC UV threshold.
VIN 2 27 I/P The input supply pin to the IC. Connect VIN to a supply voltage between 4.2 V and 55 V.
VISNS 3 28 I VIN sense input. Connect to power stage input rail.
MODE 4 1 I 1.38 V < MODE < 2.22 V: CCM, hiccup enabled (set RMODE resistor to AGND = 93.1 kΩ)
2.6 V < MODE < VCC: CCM, hiccup disabled (set RMODE resistor to AGND = 200 kΩ or connect to VCC)
DITH 5 2 I A capacitor connected between the DITH pin and AGND is charged and discharged with a current source. As the voltage on the DITH pin ramps up and down the oscillator frequency is modulated by 10% of the nominal frequency set by the RT resistor. Grounding the DITH pin will disable the dithering feature. In the external Sync mode, the DITH pin voltage is ignored.
RT/SYNC 6 3 I Switching frequency programming pin. An external resistor is connected to the RT/SYNC pin and AGND to set the switching frequency. This pin can also be used to synchronize the PWM controller to an external clock.
SLOPE 7 4 I A capacitor connected between the SLOPE pin and AGND provides the slope compensation ramp for stable current mode operation in both buck and boost mode.
SS 8 5 I Soft-start programming pin. A capacitor between the SS pin and AGND pin programs soft-start time.
COMP 9 6 O Output of the error amplifier. An external RC network connected between COMP and AGND compensates the regulator feedback loop.
AGND 10 7 G Analog ground of the IC
FB 11 8 I Feedback pin for output voltage regulation. Connect a resistor divider network from the output of the converter to the FB pin.
VOSNS 12 9 I VOUT sense input. Connect to the power stage output rail.
ISNS(–)
ISNS(+)

I Input or output current sense amplifier inputs. An optional current sense resistor connected between ISNS(+) and ISNS(–) can be located either on the input side or on the output side of the converter. If the sensed voltage across the ISNS(+) and ISNS(-) pins reaches 50 mV, a slow constant current (CC) control loop becomes active and starts discharging the soft-start capacitor to regulate the drop across ISNS(+) and ISNS(–) to 50 mV. Short ISNS(+) and ISNS(–) together to disable this feature.
CSG 15 12 I The negative or ground input to the PWM current sense amplifier. Connect directly to the low-side (ground) of the current sense resistor.
CS 16 13 I The positive input to the PWM current sense amplifier
PGOOD 17 14 O Power-Good open drain output. PGOOD is pulled low when FB is outside a -9%/+10% regulation window around the 0.8-V VREF.

O Output of the low-side gate drivers. Connect directly to the gates of the low-side MOSFETs.
PGND 22 19 G Power ground of the IC. The high current ground connection to the low-side gate drivers
VCC 23 20 I/O/P Output of the VCC bias regulator. Connect capacitor to ground.
BIAS 24 21 I/P Optional input to the VCC bias regulator. Powering VCC from an external supply instead of VIN can reduce power loss at high VIN. For VBIAS > 8 V, the VCC regulator draws power from the BIAS pin.
PowerPAD™ Solder the PowerPAD to the analog ground. If possible, use thermal vias to connect to a PCB ground plane for improved power dissipation.
