Pin Description

Pin Name
PVDD
Pin Function
5V Internal Linear Regulator Output. PVDD supply is the power MOSFET gate drive supply voltage
and created by internal LDO from VIN. When VIN
<
+5.5V, PVDD should be tied to PVIN pins. A
2.2µF ceramic capacitor from the PVDD pin to PGND (Pin 2) must be place next to the IC.
Power Ground. PGND is the ground path for the MIC24056 buck converter power stage. The
PGND pins connect to the low-side N-Channel internal MOSFET gate drive supply ground, the
sources of the MOSFETs, the negative terminals of input capacitors, and the negative terminals of
output capacitors. The loop for the power ground should be as small as possible and separate from
the signal ground (SGND) loop.
No Connect.
Switch Node Output. Internal connection for the high-side MOSFET source and low-side MOSFET
drain. Due to the high-speed switching on this pin, the SW pin should be routed away from sensitive
nodes.
High-Side N-Internal MOSFET Drain Connection Input. The PVIN operating voltage range is from
4.5V to 19V. Input capacitors between the PVIN pins and the Power Ground (PGND) are required to
keep the connection short.
Boost Output. Bootstrapped voltage to the high-side N-channel MOSFET driver. A Schottky diode is
connected between the PVDD pin and the BST pin. A boost capacitor of 0.1μF is connected between
the BST pin and the SW pin. Adding a small resistor at the BST pin can slow down the turn-on time
of high-side N-Channel MOSFETs.

Pin Name
CS
Pin Function
Current Sense Input. The CS pin senses current by monitoring the voltage across the low-side
MOSFET during the OFF-time. The current sensing is necessary for short circuit protection. In order
to sense the current accurately, connect the low-side MOSFET drain to SW using a Kelvin
connection. The CS pin is also the high-side MOSFET’s output driver return.
Signal Ground. SGND must be connected directly to the ground planes. Do not route the SGND pin to
the PGND Pad on the top layer (see
PCB Layout Guidelines
for details).
Feedback Input. Input to the transconductance amplifier of the control loop. The FB pin is regulated to
0.8V. A resistor divider connecting the feedback to the output is used to adjust the desired output
voltage.
Power Good Output. Open Drain Output. The PG pin is externally tied with a resistor to VDD. A high
output is asserted when V
OUT
>
92% of nominal.
Enable Input. A logic level control of the output. The EN pin is CMOS-compatible. Logic high =
enable, logic low = shutdown. In the off state, supply current of the device is greatly reduced (typically
5µA). The EN pin should not be left floating.
Power Supply Voltage Input. Requires bypass capacitor to SGND.
5V Internal Linear Regulator Output. VDD supply is the power MOSFET gate drive supply voltage and
the supply bus for the IC. VDD is created by internal LDO from VIN. When VIN
<
+5.5V, VDD should
be tied to PVIN pins. A 1µF ceramic capacitor from the VDD pin to SGND pins must be place next to
the IC.
