BS 1 2
High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BS supplies the drive for the high-side N-Channel MOSFET a
0.01µF or greater capacitor from SW to BS to power the high side switch.
IN 2 3
Power Input. IN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter switches. Drive
IN with a 4.7V to 18V power source. Bypass IN to GND with a suitably large capacitor to eliminate
noise on the input to the IC. See Input Capacitor.
SW 3 4
Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. Connect the
output LC filter from SW to the output load. Note that a capacitor is required from SW to BS to
power the high-side switch.
GND 4 5. 6 Ground
FB 5 7
Feedback Input. FB senses the output voltage and regulates it. Drive FB with a resistive voltage
divider connected to it from the output voltage. The feedback threshold is 0.925V. See Setting the
Output Voltage.
COMP 6 8
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control loop. Connect a series
RC network from COMP to GND. In some cases, an additional capacitor from COMP to GND is
required. See Compensation Components.
EN 7 9
Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn on the
regulator; low to turn it off.
Attach EN to IN with a 100kΩ pull up resistor for automatic startup. With this configuration an
internal voltage clamp ensures that a safe voltage is set for Enable not to exceed the absolute
maximum voltage for this pin.
SS 8 10
Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND to
set the soft-start period. A 0.1µF capacitor sets the soft-start period to 15ms. To disable the soft-
start feature, leave SS floating.
