PIN FUNCTIONS
VC (Pin 1): Error Amplifier Output. Frequency compensa-
tion network must be connected to this pin, either internal
(COMP pin) or external series RC to ground. 220kΩ/
220pF typical value.
FB (Pin 2): Feedback Pin. Reference voltage is 1.23V.
Connect resistive divider tap here. Minimize trace area at
FB. Set VOUT according to VOUT = 1.23V (1 + R1/R2).
SHDN (Pin 3): Shutdown. Ground this pin to turn off
device. Tie to 1V or more to enable.
PGND (Pin 4): Power Ground. Tie directly to local ground
plane.
SW (Pin 5): Switch Pin. Connect inductor/diode here.
Minimize trace area at this pin to keep EMI down.
VIN (Pin 6): Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed.
GND (Pin 7): Signal Ground. Carries all device ground
current except switch current. Tie to local ground plane.
COMP (Pin 8): Internal Compensation Network. Tie to VC
pin, or let float if external compensation is used. Output
capacitor must be tantalum if COMP pin is used for com-
pensation.
