Functional Pin Description
Pin No.
Pin Name
Pin Function
Enable Control Input. A logic-high enables the converter; a logic-low forces the IC into
shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 10A.
1
EN
Feedback Voltage Input. It is used to regulate the output of the converter to a set
value via an external resistive voltage divider. The feedback threshold voltage is
0.765V typically.

FB
Internal Regulator Output. Connect a 1F capacitor to GND to stabilize output
voltage.

SS
Soft-Start Time Setting. Connect an external capacitor between this pin and GND to set
the soft- start time.
5, 9
(Exposed Pad)
Power Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
PGND for maximum power dissipation.

Switch Node. Connect this pin to an external L-C filter.
Bootstrap Supply for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 0.1F capacitor between the
BOOT and SW pin.
BOOT
Power Input. The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 18V. Must bypass with a suitably
large (10F x 2) ceramic capacitor.
