Pin Descriptions
PIN DESCRIPTION APPLICATION INFORMATION
NUMBER NAME
1 VIN Input supply voltage IC supply voltage. The operating range is 4.5 V to 75 V
If the EN pin voltage is below 0.4V the regulator will be in a low power state. If the
EN pin voltage is between 0.4V and 1.2V the controller will be in standby mode. If
the EN pin voltage is above 1.2 V the controller will be operational. An external
2 EN Enable input voltage divider can be used to set a line under voltage shutdown threshold. If the
EN pin is left open, a 5µA pull-up current forces the pin to the high state and
enables the controller.
When SS is below the internal 1.2V reference, the SS voltage will control the error
amplifier. An internal 11 µA current source charges an external capacitor to set the
start-up rate of the controller. The SS pin is held low in the standby, VCC UV and
3 SS Soft-start thermal shutdown states. The SS pin can be used for voltage tracking by
connecting this pin to a master voltage supply less than 1.2 V. The applied voltage
will act as the reference for the error amplifier.
An external capacitor connected between this pin and the GND pin sets the ramp
slope used for emulated current mode control. Recommended capacitor range 100
4 RAMP Ramp control signal pF to 2000 pF. See the Application and Implementation section for selection of
capacitor value.
The internal oscillator is programmed with a single resistor between this pin and
Internal oscillator frequency the GND pin. The recommended frequency range is 50 kHz to 1 MHz. An external
5 RT/SYNC set input and synchronization synchronization signal, which is higher in frequency than the programmed
input frequency, can be applied to this pin through a small coupling capacitor. The RT
resistor to ground is required even when using external synchronization.
6 GND Ground Ground return.
Output of the internal error The loop compensation network should be connected between this pin and the FB
7 COMP amplifier pin.
Feedback signal from the This pin is connected to the inverting input of the internal error amplifier. The
8 FB regulated output regulation threshold is 1.205V.
9 OUT Output voltage connection Connect directly to the regulated output voltage.
A capacitor connected between DITH pin and GND is charged and discharged by
27 µA current sources. As the voltage on the DITH pin ramps up and down, the
Frequency Dithering
10 DITH oscillator frequency is modulated between -5% to +5% of the nominal frequency
(LM5088-1 Only) set by the RT resistor. Grounding the DITH pin will disable the frequency dithering
mode.
The RES pin is normally connected to an external capacitor that sets the timing for
hiccup mode current limiting. In normal operation, a 25µA current source
discharges the RES pin capacitor to ground. If cycle-by-cycle current limit threshold
Hiccup Mode Restart is exceeded during any PWM cycle, the current sink is disabled and RES capacitor
10 RES (LM5088-2 Only) is charged by an internal 50 µA current. If the RES voltage reaches 1.2 V, the HG
pin gate drive signal will be disabled and the RES pin capacitor will be discharged
by a 1 µA current sink. Normal operation will resume when the RES pin falls below
0.2 V.
11 CSG Current Sense Ground Low side reference for the current sense resistor.
Current measurement connection for the re-circulating diode. An external sense
resistor and an internal sample/hold circuit sense the diode current at the
12 CS Current sense conclusion of the buck switch off-time. This current measurement provides the DC
offset level for the emulated current ramp.
13 SW Switching node Connect to the source terminal of the external MOSFET switch.
14 HG High Gate Connect to the gate terminal of the external MOSFET switch.
An external capacitor is required between the BOOT and the SW pins to provide
15 BOOT Input for bootstrap capacitor bias to the MOSFET gate driver. The capacitor is charged from VCC via an internal
diode during the off-time of the buck switch.
VCC tracks VIN up to the regulation level (7.8 V Typ). A 0.1 µF to 10 µF ceramic
16 VCC Output of the bias regulator decoupling capacitor is required. An external voltage between 8.3 V and 13 V can
be applied to this pin to reduce internal power dissipation.
