PIN FUNCTIONS
MODE/PLLIN (Pin 27/Pin 24/Pin 25): Force Continuous
Mode, Burst Mode, or Pulse-Skipping Mode Selection
Pin and External Synchronization Input to Phase Detector
Pin. Connect this pin to SGND to force both channels into
the continuous mode of operation. Connect to INTV
CC
to
enable pulse-skipping mode of operation. Leaving the
pin floating will enable Burst Mode operation. A clock on
the pin will force the controller into continuous mode of
operation and synchronize the internal oscillator.
FREQ/PLLFLTR (Pin 28/Pin 25/Pin 26): The Phase-Locked
Loop’s Low-Pass Filter is Tied to This Pin. Alternatively, this
pin can be driven with a DC voltage to vary the frequency
of the internal oscillator.
Exposed Pad (Pin 29, UF/UFD Packages Only): Signal
Ground. Must be soldered to PCB, providing a local ground
for the control components of the IC, and be tied to the
PGND pin under the IC.
