FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin
S.S.
#

Description
This pin acts as the soft-start pin. A capacitor connected from this pin to GND allows slow ramp up of the NI input
resulting in output soft start during start up. This pin is clamped to the internal voltage reference during the normal
operation and sets the reference for the feedback regulator.
This pin is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the switching power supply output
through a resistor divider to program the power supply voltage. This pin instead of the NI pin is internally trimed to
1% tolerance to include the offset voltage error of the error amp.
This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made available for loop compensation. Typically a series R&C network
is connected from this pin to GND.
A voltage proportional to the inductor current is sensed by an external sense resistor (1570) or current transformer (1571)
in series with the return line and is connected to this pin. The output drive is terminated and latched off when this voltage
amplified by the internal gain (see option table) exceeds the voltage set by the E.A output voltage. The maximum
allowable voltage at this pin during normal operation is -0.8V typ for LX1570 and 6V typ for LX1571.
This pin is combined control circuitry and power GND. All other pins must be positive with respect to this pin, except
for C.S pin.
This pin drives a gate drive transformer which drives the power mosfet. A Schottky diode such as 1N5817 must be
connected from this pin to GND in order to prevent the substrate diode conduction.
This pin is the positive supply voltage for the control IC. A high frequency capacitor must be closely placed and
connected from this pin to GND to provide the turn-on and turn-off peak currents required for fast switching of the power
Mosfet.
The free running oscillator frequency is programmed by connecting a capacitor from this pin to GND.
