This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with

appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.

ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more

susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS

Pin #

Name

Description

1

SS/TRK

Soft-Start or Tracking control input. An internal 5 µA current source charges an external capacitor to set the

Soft-Start ramp rate. If driven by a external source less than 800 mV, this pin overrides the internal reference

that sets the output voltage. If left open, an internal 1ms Soft-Start ramp is activated.

2

FB

Feedback input to the error amplifier from the regulated output. This pin is connected to the inverting input of

the internal transconductance error amplifier. An 800 mV reference connected to the non-inverting input of the

error amplifier sets the closed loop regulation voltage at the FB pin.

3

PGOOD

Power good output signal. Open drain output indicating the output voltage is regulating within tolerance. A pull-

up resistor of 10 k

Ω to 100 kΩ is recommend for most applications.

4

COMP

External compensation pin. Connect a resistor and capacitor to this pin to compensate the device.

5,16

NC

These pins must be connected to GND to ensure proper operation.

6,7

PVIN

Input voltage to the power switches inside the device. These pins should be connected together at the device.

A low ESR capacitor should be placed near these pins to stabilize the input voltage.

8,9

SW

Switch pin. The PWM output of the internal power switches.

10,11

PGND

Power ground pin for the internal power switches.

12

EN

Precision enable input for the device. An external voltage divider can be used to set the device turn-on

threshold. If not used the EN pin should be connected to PVIN.

13

VCC

Internal 2.7V sub-regulator. This pin should be bypassed with a 1 µF ceramic capacitor.

14

AVIN

Analog input supply that generates the internal bias. Must be connected to VIN through a low pass RC filter.

15

AGND

Quiet analog ground for the internal bias circuitry.

EP

Exposed Pad

Exposed metal pad on the underside of the package with a weak electrical connection to ground. It is

recommended to connect this pad to the PC board ground plane in order to improve heat dissipation.
