SOIC Name Description
Pin #
1 SW Switch Node. This is the output from the high-side switch. A low forward drop Schottky diode to
ground is required. The diode must be close to the SW pins to reduce switching spikes.
2 EN Enable Input. Pulling this pin below the specified threshold shuts the chip down. Pulling it up
above the specified threshold or leaving it floating enables the chip.
3 COMP Compensation. This node is the output of the error amplifier. Control loop frequency
compensation is applied to this pin.
Feedback. This is the input to the error amplifier. The output voltage is set by a resistive divider
4 FB connected between the output and GND which scales down VOUT equal to the internal +0.8V
reference.
5 GND Ground. It should be connected as close as possible to the output capacitor to shorten the high
Exposed current switch paths. Connect exposed pad to GND plane for optimal thermal performance.

6 FREQ Switching Frequency Program Input. Connect a resistor from this pin to ground to set the
switching frequency.
Input Supply. This supplies power to all the internal control circuitry, both BS regulators and the
7 VIN high-side switch. A decoupling capacitor to ground must be placed close to this pin to minimize
switching spikes.
8 BST Bootstrap. This is the positive power supply for the internal floating high-side MOSFET driver.

Switching loss is expected to be increased at
high switching frequency. To help to improve
the thermal conduction, a grid of thermal vias
can be created right under the exposed pad. It
is recommended that they be small (15mil
barrel diameter) so that the hole is essentially
filled up during the plating process, thus aiding
conduction to the other side. Too large a hole
can cause `solder wicking' problems during the
reflow soldering process. The pitch (distance
between the centers) of several such thermal
vias in an area is typically 40mil.
