GND

1

Ground

SW

2

Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. Connect the output LC

filter from SW to the output load. Note that a capacitor is required from SW to BS to power the high-side switch.

IN

3

Power Input. IN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter switches. Drive IN with a 4.5V

to 16V power source. Bypass IN to GND with a suitably large capacitor to eliminate noise on the input to the IC.

See Input Capacitor.

FB

4

Feedback Input. FB senses the output voltage and regulates it. Drive FB with a resistive voltage divider

connected to it from the output voltage. The feedback threshold is 0.8V. See Setting the Output Voltage.

EN

5

Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn on the regulator; low to

turn it off. Attach to IN with a 100kΩ pull up resistor for automatic startup.

BST

6

High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BS supplies the drive for the high-side N-Channel MOSFET a 0.01µF or

greater capacitor from SW to BS to power the high side switch.
