Description

1

VOUT

Regulated Output Voltage. Bypass this pin to GND with a 4.7 μF or greater capacitor.

2

VOUT

Regulated Output Voltage. This pin is internally connected to Pin 1.

3

SENSE

Sense Input. Connect this pin as close as possible to the load for best load regulation. Use an external resistor

divider to set the output voltage higher than the fixed output voltage.

4

SS

Soft Start. A 1 nF external capacitor connected to SS results in a 1.0 ms start-up time.

5

EN

Regulator Enable. Drive EN high to turn on the regulator; drive EN low to turn off the regulator. For automatic

startup, connect EN to VIN (Pin 7 or Pin 8).

6

GND

Ground.

7

VIN

Regulator Input Supply. Bypass this pin to GND with a 4.7 μF or greater capacitor.

8

VIN

Regulator Input Supply. This pin is internally connected to Pin 7.

9

EP

Exposed Pad. The exposed pad is on the bottom of the package. The exposed pad enhances thermal performance

and is electrically connected to GND inside the package. Connect the exposed pad to the ground plane on the

board to ensure proper operation.
