Output noise less than 5mV
switching regulator.
•
Ultra fast transient performance
As output voltages move lower, the output noise and

Switch (Output): This is the output of the PFM Switcher.
Switch Node: Floating for typical applications. Attach external resistor from
LPF to increase hysteretic frequency.
Exposed heat-sink pad. Recommend to connect to PGND.
Analog Supply Voltage: Supply for the analog control circuitry. Requires
bypass capacitor to ground.
Low Pass Filter: Floating for typical applications. Attach external resistor
from SW to increase hysteretic frequency.
Analog Ground.
Feedback: Input to the error amplifier. Connect to the external resistor
divider network to set the output voltage.
LDO Output (Output): Output of voltage regulator. Place capacitor to ground
to bypass the output voltage. Nominal bypass capacitor is 10µF.
LDO Input: Connect to SW output. Requires a bypass capacitor to ground.
Input Supply Voltage (Input): Requires bypass capacitor to GND.
Enable (Input): Logic low will shut down the device, reducing the quiescent
current to less than 50µA. This pin can also be used as an under-voltage
lockout function by connecting a resistor divider from EN/UVLO pin to VIN
and GND.
Power Ground.

Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
The maximum allowable power dissipation of any T
A
(ambient temperature) is P
D(max)
= (T

) /
θ

. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5k in series with 100pF.
