PIN FUNCTIONS
SENSE – (Pin 1): Connects to the (–) input for the current
comparator. Built-in offsets between the SENSE – and VIN
pins in conjunction with RSENSE set the current trip thresh-
olds. Do not pull this pin more than 15V below VIN or more
than 0.3V below ground.
ITH/RUN (Pin 2): Combination of Error Amplifier Compen-
sation Point and Run Control Inputs. The current com-
parator threshold increases with this control voltage.
Nominal voltage range for this pin is 1.19V to 2.4V. Forcing
this pin below 0.8V causes the device to be shut down. In
shutdown all functions are disabled and TG pin is held low.
VFB (Pin 3): Receives the feedback voltage from an exter-
nal resistive divider across the output.
GND (Pin 4): Ground. Connect to the (–) terminal of COUT,
the Schottky diode and the (–) terminal of CIN.
SW (Pin 5): Switch Node Connection to Inductor. In step-
down applications the voltage swing at this pin is from a
Schottky diode (external) voltage drop below ground to
VIN.
