Pin Description
1 1 EN High-voltage-compatible input for circuit activation. If this pin is low, the part is off.
2 2 BST High-Side Driver Supply. Connect a 0.1μF capacitor between LX and BST for proper operation.
3,9 3,7 SUP IC Supply Input. Connect a 1μF or larger ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 4.7μF cap from SUP to PGND.
4,5,7,8 4,6 PGND Power Ground. Connect all PGND pins together.
6 5 LX BUCK Switching Node. High impedance when part is off. Connect LX to the switched side of the appropriate inductor.
10 8 GND Analog Ground
11 9 BIAS 1.8V Internal BIAS Supply. Connect a minimum of 2μF ceramic capacitor to PGND.
12 10 FB Feedback Pin. Connect a resistor-divider from OUT to FB to GND for external adjustment of output voltage. Connect to BIAS for internal fixed voltages.
13 11 OUT Buck Regulator Output Voltage-Sense Input. Bypass OUT to PGND with a minimum capacitor as for appropriate paragraph.
14 12 VEA Internal Voltage Loop Error-Amplifier Output. Connect to VEA of the target for dual-phase operation. Leave unconnected for single-phase operation.
15 13 PGOOD Open-Drain Reset Output. External pull-up required.
16 14 SYNC SYNC. If connected to GND, Skip-mode operation is enabled under light loads. If connected to BIAS, forced-PWM mode is enabled.
17 15 SYNCOUT 180-Degree Out-of-Phase Clock Output for Multiphase Operation. Leave SYNCOUT open for single-phase operation.
