Description
Power Supply Input. Power supply input pin of the device, which is connected to the
integrated 5V LDO. 4.7
mF
or more ceramic capacitors must bypass this input to power
ground. The capacitors should be placed as close as possible to this pin.
Enable 1. Logic high enables channel 1 and logic low disables channel 1. Input supply
UVLO can be programmed at this pin for channel 1.
Enable 2. Logic high enables channel 2 and logic low disables channel 2. Input supply
UVLO can be programmed at this pin for channel 2.
Driver On. Logic high input means drivers’ power is ready.
Power GOOD 1. Open−drain output. Provides a logic high valid power good output signal,
indicating the regulator’s output is in regulation window of channel 1.
Power GOOD 2. Open−drain output. Provides a logic high valid power good output signal,
indicating the regulator’s output is in regulation window of channel 2.
Fault. Digital output to indicate fault mode.
Delay 1. A resistor from this pin to GND programs delay time of soft start for channel 1.
Delay 2 / DDR. A resistor from this pin to GND programs delay time of soft start for
channel 2. Short to GND to have DDR operation mode.
Soft Start Time. A resistor from this pin to ground programs soft start time for both
channels.
Frequency Selection. A resistor from this pin to ground programs switching frequency.
Configuration. A resistor from this pin to ground programs configuration of power stages.
Limit of Current 2. Voltage at this pin sets over−current threshold for channel 2.
