When at 0V, 1.5A external clock, pulse skip mode is selected. regulator is off. When both RUN1 and RUN2 are at 0V, SW2 (Pin 10/Pin 13): Switch Node Connection to the the part is in shutdown. Inductor for the 1A Regulator. This pin swings from VIN2 VIN1 (Pin 2/Pin 3): Supply Pin for P-Channel Switch of to PGND2. 1.5A Regulator. PGOOD (Pin 11/Pin 14): Power Good Pin. This common ITH1 (Pin 3/Pin 4): Error Amplifier Compensation Point drain-logic output is pulled to GND when the output voltage for 1.5A Regulator. The current comparator threshold of either regulator is –6% of regulation. If either RUN1 or increases with this control voltage. Nominal voltage range RUN2 is low (the respective regulator is in sleep mode and for this pin is 0V to 1.5V. therefore the output voltage is low), then PGOOD reflects V the regulation of the running regulator. FB1 (Pin 4/Pin 5): Receives the feedback voltage from external resistive divider across the 1.5A regulator output. FREQ (Pin 12/Pin 15): Frequency Set Pin. When FREQ is Nominal voltage for this pin is 0.8V. at VIN, internal oscillator runs at 1.5MHz. When a resistor V is connected from this pin to ground, the internal oscillator FB2 (Pin 5/Pin 6): Receives the feedback voltage from external resistive divider across the 1A regulator output. frequency can be varied from 0.6MHz to 4MHz. Nominal voltage for this pin is 0.8V. GNDA (Pin 13/Pin 16): Analog Ground Pin for Internal I Analog Circuitry. TH2 (Pin 6/Pin 7): Error Amplifier Compensation Point for 1A regulator. The current comparator threshold increases PHASE (Pin 14/Pin 17): Selects 1A regulator switching with this control voltage. Nominal voltage range for this phase with respect to 1.5A regulator switching. Set to VIN, pin is 0V to 1.5V. the 1.5A regulator and the 1A regulator are in phase. When RUN2 (Pin 7/Pin 8): Enable for 1A Regulator. When at PHASE is at 0V, the 1.5A regulator and the 1A regulator Logic 1, 1A regulator is running. When at 0V, 1A regula- are switching 180 degrees out-of-phase. tor is off. When both RUN1 and RUN2 are at 0V, the part SW1 (Pin 15/Pin 18): Switch Node Connection to the is in shutdown. Inductor for the 1.5A Regulator. This pin swings from V VIN1 to PGND1. IN2 (Pin 8/Pin 9): Supply Pin for P-Channel Switch of 1A Regulator and Supply for Analog Circuitry.
