SGND (Pins 5, 6, 33/Pins 10, 11): Signal Ground. All A capacitor to ground at this pin sets the ramp rate of the small-signal components such as CSS and compensation output voltage (approximately 0.5s/µF) and the time delay components should connect to this ground and eventually for overcurrent latch-off (see Applications Information). connect to PGND at one point. The Exposed Pad of the QFN Forcing this pin below 1.4V shuts down the device. package must be soldered to PCB ground. I–TH (Pin 2/Pin 7): Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The VOS (Pin 7/Pin 12): The (–) Input to the Differential current comparator threshold increases with this control Amplifer. voltage. The voltage ranges from 0V to 2.4V with 0.8V DIFFOUT (Pin 8/Pin 13): The Output of the Differential corresponding to zero sense voltage (zero current). Amplifier.
