FB is used to Output Adjustment Pins. These pins control the output regulate the output voltage by sampling the third wind- current. The lowest value out of the three CTRL inputs is ing. If the converter is used in current mode, the FB pin compared to negative input of the operational amplifier. will normally be at a voltage level lower than 1.25V, and V will reach the steady state of 1.25V if it detects an open REF (Pin 4): Voltage Reference Output Pin. Typically 2V. This pin drives a resistor divider for the CTRL pin, either output condition. for analog dimming or for temperature limit/compensation DCM (Pin 10): Discontinuous Conduction Mode Detection of output load.
