Power the Internal Controller and MOSFET Drivers. This pin is connected to an input supply voltage range of 4.7V GND (A4, A8-A9, D1- D12, E1-E12, F4, F8, F12, G3-G4, to 16V. If the voltage at CNTL_PWR is ≤5.5V, the INTVCC G7-G8, G11-G12, H3-H4, H7-H8, H11-H12, J1-J5, J7, pin should be tied to CNTL_PWR for optimum efficiency.

When using All ground pins need to connect with large copper areas multiple input supplies, choose the lowest input supply underneath the unit. between 4.7V to 16V to supply the CNTL_PWR pin. This V will lower the internal power loss and improve efficiency.

Apply output load between these pins and Internal Control Circuitry. Connect a 4.7µF ceramic capaci- the GND pins. Recommend placing output decoupling tor to ground for decoupling. If the voltage at CNTL_PWR capacitance directly between these pins and the GND is ≤5.5V, tie the INTVCC pin to CNTL_PWR for optimum pins. See Table 5. efficiency. If the voltage at CNTL_PWR is >5.5V, leave TEMP1 AND TEMP2 (C9, C5): Two Onboard Temperature INTVCC floating. See the Applications Information section.

Each of these two temperature diode signal ground connection in the module is separated from connected PNP transistors is placed in the middle of normal power ground (GND) by an internal 2.2Ω resistor. channel 1 and channel 2, and in the middle of channel 2 This allows the designer to connect the signal ground pin and channel 3. See the Applications Information section close to GND near the external output capacitors on the and an example in Figure 19. regulator channel’s outputs. The entire internal small-signal V feedback circuitry is referenced to SGND, thus allowing IN1,VIN2,VIN3 (F9-F10,G9-G10,H9-H10);(F5-F6,G5-G6,H5-H6);(F1-F2,G1-G2,H1-H2): Power Input Pins. for better output regulation.

Recommend placing input decoupling capacitance directly EXTVCC (L3): External Bias Power Input. The internal bias between the VIN pins and the GND pins. The VIN paths LDO is bypassed whenever the voltage at EXTVCC is above can be all combined from one power source, or powered 4.7V. Never exceed 6V at this pin and ensure CNTL_PWR > from independent power sources. The VIN paths can EXTVCC at all times to avoid reverse polarity on the internal operate down to 2.375V when the CNTL_PWR is biased bias LDO. Connect a 1µF capacitor to ground when used separately from a supply in the range of 4.7V to 16V. See otherwise leave floating.
