Note: When operating with the power V
IN
supply below 5.5V, this applicatoin requires the 5V to 5.5V external supply
to be present at EXTV
CC
in order to maintain DRV
CC
, INTV
CC
and V
IN
pin voltages needed for the IC to function
properly. The EXTV
CC
supply is optional when the power V
IN
supply is at or above 5.5V.
Power input voltage range of this application
cannot be generalized for other frequency and/or output voltage. Each
application that needs a power input voltage different from the V
IN
pin voltage shall be tested individually for margin
of range in which the switching nodes (SW1, SW2) phase-lock to the clock output (CLKOUT).
