The current accurate means for sensing the input voltage and pro- comparator input threshold increases with this control gramming the start-up threshold for the converter. The voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is 0V to 1.40V. falling RUN pin threshold is nominally 1.248V and the FB (Pin 3): Receives the feedback voltage from the external comparator has 100mV of hysteresis for noise immunity. resistor divider across the output. Nominal voltage for this When the RUN pin is below this input threshold, the IC pin in regulation is 1.230V. is shut down and the VIN supply current is kept to a low value (typ 10µA). The Absolute Maximum Rating for the FREQ (Pin 4): A resistor from the FREQ pin to ground voltage on this pin is 7V. programs the operating frequency of the chip. The nominal voltage at the FREQ pin is 0.6V. 18717fd 6 Document Outline Features Applications Description Typical Application Absolute Maximum Ratings Pin Configuration Order Information Electrical Characteristics Typical Performance Characteristics Pin Functions Block Diagram Operation Applications Information Typical Applications Package Description Revision History Typical Application Related Parts
