A voltage above 1.22V SENSE+ (Pin 9): Current Sense Comparator Input. The (+) turns on the IC. There is a 1µA pull-up current on this pin. input to the current comparator is normally connected to Once the RUN pin rises above the 1.22V threshold the the midpoint of the inductor’s parallel RC sense circuit or pull-up increases to 5µA. the inductor side of the current sensing resistor.

Use a Murata PRF18 series FB (Pin 5): Error Amplifier Inverting Input. Connect to DIFFOUT for remote V PTC to ground. Grounding this pin disables this function. OUT sensing. IITEMP(Pin 13): Input of the Temperature Sensing Com- TH (Pin 6): Current Control Thresholds and Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The current comparator’s threshold parators. Connect this pin to an external NTC resistor increases with the I placed near the inductor. Floating this pin disables the TH control voltage. DCR temperature compensation function. IFAST (Pin 7): Programming Pin for Nonlinear Control Trip Threshold. A resistor to SGND programs the trip threshold EXTVCC(Pin 14): External Power Input to an Internal Switch for the nonlinear control circuit. Connect to INTV Connected to INTVCC. This switch closes and supplies the CC to disable this function. IC power, bypassing the internal 5.3V regulator, whenever EXTVCC is higher than 4.7V. Do not exceed 6V. TK/SS (Pin 8): Output Voltage Tracking and Soft-Start Input. The voltage ramp rate at this pin sets the voltage ramp VIN(Pin 15): Main Input Supply. Decouple this pin to rate of the output. A capacitor to ground accomplishes PGND with a capacitor (0.1µF to 1µF) soft-start. This pin has a 1.25µA pull-up current. 3867f 8 Document Outline Features Applications Description Typical Application Absolute Maximum Ratings Order Information Electrical Characteristics Typical Performance Characteristics Pin Functions Block Diagram Operation Package Description Typical Application Related Parts
