CM
Current Monitor Output Gain Externally Setting. Connect this pin with one resistor
to VSEN while CM pin is connected to ground with another resistor. The current
monitor output gain can be set by the ratio of these two resistors.
Voltage ID. DAC voltage identification inputs for IMVP6.5.
The logic threshold is 30% of VCCP as the maximum value for low state and 70%
of VCCP as the minimum value for the high state. VCCP is 1.05V.
Power Status Indicator II. Together with DPRSLPVR, the combination of these two
pins indicates the power management states.

Compensation. This pin is the output node of the error amplifier.
Feedback. This is the negative input node of the error amplifier.
Positive Voltage Sensing Pin. This pin is the positive node of the differential
voltage sensing.

VSEN
RGND
Return Ground. This pin is the negative node of the differential remote voltage
sensing.
Soft-Start. This pin provides soft-start function and slew rate control. The
capacitance of the slew rate control capacitor is restricted to be larger than 10nF.
The feedback voltage of the converter follows the ramping voltage on the SOFT pin
during soft-start and other voltage transitions according to different modes of
operation and VID change.
