A capacitor to ground at supplying 10mA DC with peak currents as high as each of these pins sets the ramp time to full output current. 50mA. Forcing either of these pins back below 1.0V causes the PGND (Pin 20): Driver Power Ground. Connects to the IC to shut down the circuitry required for that particular sources of bottom (synchronous) N-channel MOSFETs, controller. anodes of the Schottky rectifi ers and the (–) terminal(s) SENSE1+, SENSE2+ (Pins 2, 14): The (+) Input to the of CIN. Differential Current Comparators. The ITH pin voltage and INTV controlled offsets between the SENSE– and SENSE+ pins in CC (Pin 21): Output of the Internal 7.5V Linear Low Dropout Regulator and the EXTV conjunction with R CC Switch.

VOSENSE1, VOSENSE2 (Pins 4, 12): Receives the EXTVCC (Pin 22): External Power Input to an Internal remotely-sensed feedback voltage for each controller from Switch Connected to INTVCC. This switch closes and an external resistive divider across the output. supplies VCC power, bypassing the internal low dropout regulator, whenever EXTV PLLFLTR (Pin 5): The phase-locked loop’s lowpass fi lter CC is higher than 7.3V. See EXTV is tied to this pin. Alternatively, this pin can be driven with CC connection in Applications section. Do not exceed 8.5V on this pin. an AC or DC voltage source to vary the frequency of the internal oscillator. BG1, BG2 (Pins 23, 19): High Current Gate Drives for Bottom (Synchronous) N-Channel MOSFETs. Voltage swing PLLIN (Pin 6): External Synchronization Input to Phase at these pins is from ground to INTV Detector. This pin is internally terminated to SGND with CC. 100kΩ. The phase-locked loop will force the rising top VIN (Pin 24): Main Supply Pin. A bypass capacitor should gate signal of controller 1 to be synchronized with the be tied between this pin and the signal ground pin. rising edge of the PLLIN signal.

Capacitors are connected acts on both controllers and is normally used to regulate between the boost and switch pins and Schottky diodes are a secondary winding. Pulling this pin below 0.8V will tied between the boost and INTVCC pins. Voltage swing at force continuous synchronous operation.
