PIN FUNCTIONS
V
IN
(Pin 1): The V
IN
pin is the main supply pin and should
be decoupled to SGND with a low ESR capacitor located
close to the pin.
SHDN (Pin 2): The SHDN pin has a precision IC enable
threshold of 1.35V (rising) with 120mV of hysteresis. It is
used to implement an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit.
See Applications Information section for implementing
a UVLO function. When the SHDN pin is pulled below
a transistor V
BE
(0.7V), a low current shutdown mode
is entered, all internal circuitry is disabled and the V
IN
supply current is reduced to approximately 9μA. Typical
pin input bias current is <10μA and the pin is internally
clamped to 6V.
C
SS
(Pin 3): The soft-start pin is used to program the
supply soft-start function. Use the following formula to
calculate C
SS
for a given output voltage slew rate:
C
SS
= 2μA(t
SS
/1.231V)
The pin should be left unconnected when not using the
soft-start function.
