Pin Description

Pin Number
8-pin 14-pin Pin Name Function

1 1 COMP This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made available for loop compensation.
2 3 VFB The inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the switching
power supply output through a resistor divider.
3 5 ISENSE A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input. The PWM uses
this information to terminate the output switch conduction.
4 7 RT/CT The Oscillator frequency and maximum Output duty cycle are programmed by con-
necting resistor RT to VREF and capacitor CT to ground. Operation to 500 kHz is pos-
sible.
5 GND The combined control circuitry and power ground.
6 10 OUTPUT This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to 1.0 A
are sourced and sunk by this pin.
7 12 VCC The positive supply of the control IC.
8 14 VREF This is the reference output. It provides charging current for capacitor CT through
resistor RT.
8 PWR GND This pin is a separate power ground return that is connected back to the power source.
It is used to reduce the effects of switching transient noise on the control circuitry.
11 PWR VC The Output high state (VOH) is set by the voltage applied to this pin. With a separate
power source connection, it can reduce the effects of switching transient noise on the
control circuitry.
9 GND This pin is the control circuitry ground return and is connected back to the power
source ground.
2,4,6,13 N/C No connection. These pins are not internally connected.

Electrical Characteristics (Continued)

Figure 4 is the basic test circuit for AZ384x. In testing, the high peak currents associated with capacitive loads necessitate
careful grounding techniques. Timing and bypass capacitors should be connected close to pin 5 in a single point ground. The
transistor and 5k potentiometer are used to sample the oscillator waveform and apply an adjustable ramp to pin 3.
