Frequency sync. port. Controller can be configured as master or slave.
Power Good. Indicates output voltage rail is within regulation. Goes low
under any fault condition or recognition of shutdown request. May be
used to cascade (sequence) VR start-up in combination with SYSG pin (on
following VRs).
Fault output. Wired and Internal pull-up. Goes low under any fault condi-
tion (UVLO, OCP, OVP, OTP). When pulled low controller is disabled
and restarts again when released. Used for fault management between
multiple POLs
Control or Enable pin. No internal pull-up resistor.
Alert line. Communicates fault or pending fault alert to master or host
system power manager.
SMBus compatible data serial input/output.
SMBus compatible clock serial input.
