SGND (Pin 1): Signal Ground Pin.
RUN/SS (Pin 2): Combination of Soft-Start and Run
Control Inputs. Forcing this pin below 0.7V shuts down the
device. In shutdown all functions are disabled and device
draws zero supply current. For the proper operation of the
part, force this pin above 2.5V. Do not leave this pin
floating. Soft-start can be accomplished by raising the
voltage on this pin gradually with an RC circuit.

current output increases with this control voltage. Nomi-
nal voltage range for this pin is 0.5V to 1.8V.
SWP1, SWP2 (Pins 5, 12): Upper Switch Nodes. These
pins connect to the drains of the internal main PMOS
switches and should always be connected together
externally.
SWN1, SWN2 (Pins 6, 11): Lower Switch Nodes. These
pins connect to the drains of the internal synchronous
NMOS switches and should always be connected together
externally.
PGND1, PGND2 (Pins 7, 10): Power Ground Pins. Ground
pins for the internal drivers and switches. These pins
should always be tied together.

PGOOD (Pin 14): Power Good Indicator Pin. Power good
is an open-drain logic output. The PGOOD pin is pulled to
ground when the voltage on the V
quires a pull-up resistor for power good indication. Power
good indication works in all modes of operation.
SYNC/MODE (Pin 15): External Clock Synchronization
and Mode Select Input. To synchronize, apply an external
clock with a frequency between 350kHz and 750kHz. To
select Burst Mode operation, tie pin to SV
this pin selects pulse skipping mode. Do not leave this pin
floating.
PLL_LPF (Pin 16): Output of the Phase Detector and
Control Input of Oscillator. Connect a series RC lowpass
network from this pin to ground if externally synchronized.
If unused, this pin may be left open.
