A clock BURST (Pin 11): Burst Mode Threshold Adjust Pin. A pulse width of 100ns to 2μs is required to synchronize the resistor/capacitor combination from this pin to ground internal oscillator. This pin is disabled when grounded. programs the average load current at which automatic SHDN (Pin 4): Shutdown Pin. Grounding this pin shuts Burst Mode operation is entered, according to the formula: down the IC. Connect to >1.25V to enable. I = 10 LIM (Pin 5): Adjustable Peak Current Limit. Connect a RBURST I resistor from I BURST LIM to GND to program the peak inductor current according to the following formula: where RBURST is in kΩ and IBURST is in amps. I C V LIMIT = 200 OUT OUT R CBURST = • ILIM , 10 000 where ILIMIT is in amps and RILIM is in kΩ. where CBURST(MIN) and COUT are in μF. RT (Pin 6): Connect a resistor to ground to program the oscillator frequency, according to the formula: To force fixed frequency PWM mode, connect BURST to VOUT through a 50k resistor. 1 f V OSC = OUT (Pin 12): Output of the Synchronous Rectifier and 0 2 . + 0 0 . 04 •RT Internal Gate Drive Source for the Power Switches. where fOSC is in MHz and RT is in kΩ. ⎛ R2⎞ VOUT = 1 2 . 3 1+ ⎝⎜ R ⎠⎟ 1 FB (Pin 7): Connect Resistor Divider Tap Here.
