Functional Pin Description

VSEN (Pin 1)

This pin is connected to the converters output voltage. The

PGOOD and OVP comparator circuits use this signal to

report output voltage status and for overvoltage protection.

OCSET (Pin 2)

the converter over-current (OC) trip point according to the

following equation:

An over-current trip cycles the soft-start function.

SS (Pin 3)

Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This capacitor,

along with an internal 10

µA current source, sets the

soft-start interval of the converter.

VID0-4 (Pins 4-8)

VID0-4 are the input pins to the 5-bit DAC. The states of

these five pins program the internal voltage reference

(DACOUT). The level of DACOUT sets the converter output

voltage. It also sets the PGOOD and OVP thresholds. Table

1 specifies DACOUT for the 32 combinations of DAC inputs.

COMP (Pin 9) and FB (Pin 10)

COMP and FB are the available external pins of the error

amplifier. The FB pin is the inverting input of the error

amplifier and the COMP pin is the error amplifier output.

These pins are used to compensate the voltage-control

feedback loop of the converter.

GND (Pin 11)

Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured with

respect to this pin.

PGOOD (Pin 12)

PGOOD is an open collector output used to indicate the

status of the converter output voltage. This pin is pulled low

when the converter output is not within

±10% of the

DACOUT reference voltage. Exception to this behavior is

the ‘11111’ VID pin combination which disables the

converter; in this case PGOOD asserts a high level.

PHASE (Pin 13)

Connect the PHASE pin to the upper MOSFET source. This

pin is used to monitor the voltage drop across the MOSFET

for over-current protection. This pin also provides the return

path for the upper gate drive.

UGATE (Pin 14)

Connect UGATE to the upper MOSFET gate. This pin

provides the gate drive for the upper MOSFET.
