The drain of the internal N-channel MOSFET switching device of the boost converter.
Output gate driver pin for external P-channel MOSFET control.
GATE
Connect this pin to the negative sense side of the current sense resistor Rsc. The threshold voltage is
measured as VIN-VSENSE. There is also fixed current sink to allow for trip threshold adjustment.

VIN
Input power to the IC as well as the positive input used for current sense resistor.
The pin is an open-drain type configuration that will be pulled low when a fault occurs. Connect a 100 kW
resistor between this pin and desired logic level voltage.

FAULT
Logic output representing the switching frequency of internal boost oscillator. This allows other converters to
be synchronized to the same frequency (with the same frequency dithering, if applicable)

VDD
Output of internal LDO (bias regulator). Connect a 1 μF decoupling capacitor between this pin and GND.
Analog trimming option or dimming. Applying a digital PWM signal to this pin adjusts the internal IISET
current.
APWM
Enables the IC when this pin is pulled high. Also serves to control the LED intensity by using pulse-width
modulation. Typical PWM dimming frequency is in the range of 100 to 400 Hz.

FSET
Frequency/synchronization pin. A resistor RFSET from this pin to GND sets the switching frequency (with
dithering superimposed). It can also be used to synchronize two or more converters in the system to an
external frequency between 260 kHz and 2.3 MHz (dithering is disabled in this case).
