Note 2: Gain is measured with a VC swing equal to 200mV above the Note 5: Boost current is the current flowing into the boost pin with the pin switching threshold level to 200mV below the upper clamp level. held 5V above input voltage. It flows only during switch on time. Note 3: Minimum input voltage is not measured directly, but is guaranteed Note 6: Input supply current is the bias current drawn by the input pin by other tests. It is defined as the voltage where internal bias lines are still with switching disabled. regulated so that the reference voltage and oscillator frequency remain Note 7: Switch on resistance is calculated by dividing VIN to VSW voltage constant. Actual minimum input voltage to maintain a regulated output will by the forced current (4.5A). See Typical Performance Characteristics for depend on output voltage and load current.
