Pin 1 (PGOOD): Power Good Output. It's an open-drain output that requires an external pull-up resistor. It indicates whether the output voltage is within the specified range.
Pin 2 (EN): Enable Pin. This pin turns the IC on or off. Pulling it above a certain threshold voltage turns the IC on, while pulling it below that threshold turns the IC off.
Pin 3 (PFM): Power Save Mode Selection Pin. This pin is used to enable or disable power save mode for improved efficiency at light loads.
Pin 4 (AGND): Analog Ground. This pin is the ground reference for the control circuitry of the IC.
Pin 5 (FB): Feedback Pin. This pin is connected to a voltage divider from the output to set the output voltage of the converter.
Pin 6 (TON): On-Time Control Pin. It's used to set the on-time of the high-side MOSFET, thus indirectly controlling the switching frequency.
Pin 7 (NC): No Connection. This pin is not internally connected and should be left floating or can be used for PCB heat spreading.
Pin 8-11 (V+): Input Power Supply Pins. These pins are connected to the input voltage supply for the converter.
Pin 12-14 (PGND): Power Ground. These are the ground return paths for the high and low side MOSFETs.
Pin 15-17 (LX): Switch Node. These pins are connected to the inductor and are the switching nodes of the internal MOSFETs.
Pin 18 (LX): Switch Node.
Pin 19 (BST): Bootstrap Pin. This pin provides the drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET.
Pin 20 (VCC): Bias Supply Pin. This pin powers the internal control circuitry.
Pin 21 (V+): Input Power Supply Pin.
Pin 22 (SS): Soft-Start Control Pin. This pin controls the start-up timing to prevent inrush current.
Pin 23 (SS): Soft-Start Control Pin.
