Table 4. Pin Function Descriptions
Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1 SYNC
Synchronization Input. To synchronize the switching frequency to an external clock, connect this pin to an
external clock with a frequency of 500 kHz to 1.4 MHz (see the Oscillator and Synchronization section for
more information).
2 RT
Frequency Setting. To select a switching frequency of 600 kHz, connect this pin to GND; to select a switching
frequency of 1.2 MHz, connect this pin to VIN. To program the frequency from 500 kHz to 1.4 MHz, connect a
resistor from this pin to GND (see the Oscillator and Synchronization section for more information).
3 TRK
Tracking Input. To track a master voltage, connect the TRK pin to a voltage divider from the master voltage. If
the tracking function is not used, connect the TRK pin to VIN. For more information, see the Voltage Tracking
section.
4 FB
Feedback Voltage Sense Input. Connect this pin to a resistor divider from V
OUT
. For the preset output version,
connect this pin directly to V
OUT
.
5 GND Analog Ground. Connect to the ground plane.
6, 7, 8 PGND Power Ground. Connect to the ground plane and to the output return side of the output capacitor.
9, 10, 11 SW Switch Node Output. Connect to the output inductor.
12, 13 PVIN
Power Input Pin. Connect this pin to the input power source. Connect a bypass capacitor between this pin
and PGND.
14 VIN
Bias Voltage Input Pin. Connect a bypass capacitor between this pin and GND; connect a small (10 Ω) resistor
between this pin and PVIN.
15 EN
Precision Enable Pin. The external resistor divider can be used to set the turn-on threshold. To enable the
part automatically, connect the EN pin to VIN. This pin has a 1 MΩ pull-down resistor to GND.
16 PGOOD Power-Good Output (Open Drain). Connect this pin to a resistor from any pull-up voltage lower than 6.5 V.
17 (EPAD) Exposed Pad The exposed pad should be soldered to an external ground plane under the IC for thermal dissipation.
