Table 3. Pin Function Descriptions
Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1 EN1
Enable Input for Channel 1. Drive EN1 high to turn on the Channel 1 controller, and drive it low to turn off. Tie
EN1 to VIN for automatic startup. For a precision UVLO, put an appropriately sized resistor divider from VIN to
AGND, and tie the midpoint to this pin.
2 SYNC
Frequency Synchronization Input. Accepts an external signal between 1× and 2.3× of the internal oscillator
frequency, f
OSC
, set by the FREQ pin. The controller operates in forced PWM when a signal is detected at SYNC or
when SYNC is high. The resulting switching frequency is ½ of the SYNC frequency. When SYNC is low or left
floating, the controller operates in pulse skip mode.
3 VIN
Connect to Main Power Supply. Bypass with a 1 µF or larger ceramic capacitor connected as close to this pin as
possible and PGND.
4 VCCO
Output of the Internal Low Dropout Regulator (LDO). The internal circuitry and gate drivers are powered from
VCCO. Bypass VCCO to AGND with a 1 F or larger ceramic capacitor. The VCCO output is always active, even
during fault conditions and cannot be turned off even if EN1/EN2 is low. For operations at VIN below 5 V, VIN can
be jumped to VCCO. Do not use the LDO to power other auxiliary system loads.
5 VDL
Power Supply for the Low-Side Driver. Bypass VDL to PGND with a 1 µF or greater ceramic capacitor. Connect
VCCO to VDL.
6 AGND Analog Ground.
7 FREQ
Sets the desired operating frequency between 200 kHz and 1.5 MHz with one resistor between FREQ and AGND.
See Table 4 for more details. Connect FREQ to AGND for a preprogrammed 300 kHz or FREQ to VCCO for a 600 kHz
operating frequency.
8 EN2
Enable Input for Channel 2. Drive EN2 high to turn on the Channel 2 controller, and drive it low to turn off. Tie
EN2 to VIN for automatic startup. For a precision UVLO, put an appropriately sized resistor divider from VIN to
AGND, and tie the midpoint to this pin.
9 TRK2
Tracking Input for Channel 2. If the tracking function is not used, it is recommended to connect TRK2 to VCCO
through a resistor higher than 1 MΩ, or simply connect TRK2 between 0.7 V and 2 V to reduce the bias current
going into the TRK2 pin.
10 FB2 Output Voltage Feedback for Channel 2. Connect to Channel 2 via a resistor divider.
11 COMP2
Compensation Node for Channel 2. Output of Channel 2 error amplifier. Connect a series resistor-capacitor
network from COMP2 to AGND to compensate the regulation control loop.
12 RAMP2
Programmable Current Setting for Slope Compensation of Channel 2. Connect a resistor from RAMP2 to VIN. The
voltage at RAMP2 is 0.2 V.
13 SS2
Soft Start Input for Channel 2. Connect a capacitor from SS2 to AGND to set the soft start period. This node is
internally pulled up to 3.2 V through a 6.5 µA current source.
