PIN DESCRIPTION
PIN NAME FUNCTION
Regulator Output Pin. It is recommended to use a ceramic capacitor with effective capacitance in
1, 2 OUT the range of 4μF to 100μF to ensure stability. This ceramic capacitor should be placed as close
as possible to OUT pin.
Feedback Voltage Input Pin (adjustable voltage version only). Connect this pin to the midpoint of
FB an external resistor divider to adjust the output voltage. Place the resistors as close as possible to
3 this pin.
Output Voltage Sense Input Pin (fixed voltage version only). Connect this pin to the load side of
SNS
the output trace only in the fixed voltage version.

4 GND Ground.
Enable Pin. Drive EN high to turn on the regulator. Drive EN low to turn off the regulator. The EN
pin has an internal pull-down current source which ensures that the device is turned off when the
5 EN
EN pin is floated. This pin must be pulled high by an external resistor connected to IN pin if EN
pin is not used.
Noise-Reduction Pin. Using an external capacitor CNR to decouple this pin to GND can not only
6 NR
reduce output noise to very low level but also slow down the VOUT rise like a soft-start behavior.
Input Supply Voltage Pin. It is recommended to use a 4.7μF or larger ceramic capacitor from IN
7, 8 IN pin to ground to get good power supply decoupling. This ceramic capacitor should be placed as
close as possible to IN pin.
Exposed Exposed Pad. Connect it to a large ground plane to maximize thermal performance. This pad is
‒
Pad not an electrical connection point.
