Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

FUNCTION
Connect to an external resistor divider to set the minimum active PWM duty cycle. (Typically between
0.05V
DD
to 0.2V
DD
depending on desired minimum duty cycle.)
Connect to an external resistor to set the slope of the temperature-PWM curve.
Thermistor Voltage Input. External NTC thermistor senses temperature. Thermistor and external resistor
form a voltage divider with a negative temperature coefficient.
Ground
Connect to external capacitor C
F
to set PWM frequency.
Duty Cycle Input. Sets the duty cycle below t
MIN
to either D
MIN
or 0%. Connect to GND for 0% or to V
DD
for D
MIN
. D0 has an internal 60kΩ (typ) pulldown resistor.
PWM CMOS output signal.
3.0V to 5.5V Supply Voltage Input. Bypass with at least a 0.01µF capacitor.
Exposed Pad. Connect to ground, but do not use as the sole ground connection point or leave
