BOOST (Pin 6): The BOOST pin is used to provide a drive voltage, higher than the input voltage, to the internal SW (Pin 2): The SW pin is the emitter of the on-chip power bipolar NPN power switch. Without this added voltage, the NPN switch. This pin is driven up to the input pin voltage typical switch voltage loss would be about 1.5V. The during switch on time. Inductor current drives the SW pin additional BOOST voltage allows the switch to saturate negative during switch off time. Negative voltage is clamped and its voltage loss approximates that of a 0.2Ω FET with the external catch diode. Maximum negative switch structure. voltage allowed is –0.8V. CVT (Pin 7): A capacitor on the CT pin determines the amount IN (Pin 4): This is the collector of the on-chip power NPN of delay time between the PGFB pin exceeding its thresh- switch. VIN powers the internal control circuitry when a old (V voltage on the BIAS pin is not present. High di/dt edges PGFB) and the PG pin set to a high impedance state. When the PGFB pin rises above V occur on this pin during switch turn on and off. Keep the PGFB, current is sourced from the C path short from the V T pin into the external capacitor. When the volt- IN pin through the input bypass age on the external capacitor reaches an internal clamp capacitor, through the catch diode back to SW. All trace (V inductance on this path will create a voltage spike at switch CT), the PG pin becomes a high impedance node. The resultant PG delay time is given by t = C off, adding to the V CT • VCT/ICT. If the CE voltage across the internal NPN. 1977fa 6
