PIN DESCRIPTION

PIN NUMBER

PIN NAME

DESCRIPTION

Battery Voltage. The startup circuitry is powered by this pin. Battery

When the battery voltage drops below 0.61V the SP6648 goes into an

undervoltage lockout mode (UVLO), where the part is shut down.

2

LBI

Low Battery Input. LBI below 0.61V causes the SP6648 pin to pull LBON

pin down to ground. Use a resistor divider to program the low voltage

threshold for a specific battery configuration.

3

LBON

Low Battery Output Not. Open drain NMOS output that sinks current to

ground when LBI is below 0.61V.

5

SHDN

pin to ground to disable all circuitry inside the chip. In shutdown the

output voltage will float down to a diode drop below the battery voltage.

6

FB

Feedback. Connect this pin to GND for fixed +3.3V operation. Connect

adjustable output operation.

7

GND

Ground. Connect to ground plane.

8

PGND

Power Ground. The inductor charging current flows out of this pin.

9

LX

Inductor Switching Node. Connect one terminal of the inductor to the

positive terminal of the battery. Connect the second terminal of the

inductor to this pin. The inductor charging current flows into LX, through

the internal charging N-channel FET, and out the PGND pin.

10

Output Voltage. The inductor current flows out of this pin during switch

off-time. It is also used as the internal regulator voltage supply. Connect

this pin to the positive terminal of the output capacitor.
