(Note 2)
Description
ADJ 1 I
Adjust input (for dc output current control)
Connect to REF to set 100% output current.
Drive with dc voltage (125mV<V
ADJ
< 1.25V) to adjust output current from 10% to 100%
of set value. The ADJ pin has an internal clamp that limits the internal
node to less than
3V. This provides some failsafe should they get overdriven
REF 2 O
Internal 1.25V reference voltage output
TADJ 3
I
Temperature Adjust input for LED thermal current control
Connect thermistor/resistor network to this pin to reduce output current above a preset
temperature threshold.
Connect to REF to disable thermal compensation function. (See section on thermal
control.)
SHP 4 I/O
Shaping capacitor for feedback control loop
Connect 330pF ±20% capacitor from this pin to ground to provide loop compensation
STATUS 5
O
Operation status output (analog output)
Pin is at 4.5V (nominal) during normal operation.
Pin switches to a lower voltage to indicate specific operation warnings or fault
conditions. (See section on STATUS output.)
Status pin voltage is low during shutdown mode
SGND 6
P Signal ground (Connect to 0V)
PGND 7
P Power ground - Connect to 0V and pin 8 to maximize copper area
N/C 8 -
Not Connected internally – recommend connection to pin 7, (PGND), to maximize PCB
copper for thermal dissipation
N/C 9
Not Connected internally – recommend connection pin 10 (GATE) to permit wide copper
trace to gate of MOSFET
GATE 10
O Gate drive output to external NMOS transistor – connect to pin 9
V
AUX
11 P
Auxiliary positive supply to internal switch gate driver
At V
IN
< 8V; a bootstrap circuit is recommended to ensure adequate gate drive voltage
(see Applications section)
At V
IN
> 8V; connect to V
IN
At V
IN
>24V; to reduce power dissipation, V
AUX
can be connected to an 8V to 15V
auxiliary power supply (see Applications section). Decouple to ground with capacitor
close to device (see Applications section)
V
IN
12 P
Input supply to device 5V to 60V
Decouple to ground with capacitor close to device (refer to Applications section)
ISM 13 I
Current monitor input. Connect current sense resistor between this pin and V
IN
The nominal voltage, V
SENSE
, across the resistor is 218mV fixed in Buck mode and
initially 225mV in Boost and Buck-Boost modes, varying with duty cycle.
FLAG 14
O
Flag open drain output
Pin is high impedance during normal operation
Pin switches low to indicate a fault, or warning condition
PWM 15
I
Digital PWM output current control
Pin driven either by open Drain or push-pull 3.3V or 5V logic levels.
Drive with frequency higher than 100Hz to gate output ‘on’ and ‘off’ during dimming
control.
The device enters standby mode when PWM pin is driven with logic low level for more
than 15ms nominal (Refer to application section for more details)
GI 16 I
Gain setting input
Used to set the device in Buck mode or Boost, Buck-boost modes and to control the
sense voltage in Boost and Buck-boost modes
Connect to ADJ pin for Buck mode operation
For Boost and Buck-boost modes, connect to resistive divider from ADJ to SGND. The
GI divider is required to compensate for duty cycle gating in the internal feedback loop
(see Application section). The GI pin has an internal clamp that limits the internal
node to
less than 3V. This provides some failsafe should it become overdriven.
EP PAD P Exposed paddle. Connect to 0V plane for electrical and thermal management
Notes:
2. Type refers to whether or not pin is an Input, Output, Input/Output or Power supply pin.
