pin FuncTions

I

TH

/RUN  (Pin  1):

 This pin performs two functions. It 

serves as the error amplifier compensation point as well 

as the run control input. Nominal voltage range for this 

pin is 0.7V to 1.9V. Forcing this pin below 0.35V causes 

the device to be shut down. In shutdown all functions are 

disabled and the NGATE pin is held low.

GND (Pin 2):

 Ground Pin.

V

FB

 (Pin 3):

 Receives the feedback voltage from an external 

resistive divider across the output.

SENSE

 (Pin 4):

 The Negative Input to the Current Com-

parator.

V

IN

 (Pin 5):

 Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled to 

GND Pin 2.

NGATE  (Pin  6):

 Gate Drive for the External N-Channel 

MOSFET. This pin swings from 0V to V

IN
