PIN DESCRIPTIONS
PIN NUMBER PIN SYMBOL 1 VOUT PIN DESCRIPTION This pin is directly connected to the output of the switching regulator and senses the VOUT voltage. An internal MOSFET discharges the output during turn off. This pin supplies the internal 5V bias circuit. A 1uF X7R ceramic capacitor is placed as close as possible to this pin and ground pin. This pin is the error amplifiers inverting input. This pin is connected via resistor divider to the output of the switching regulator to set the output DC voltage from 0.75V to 3.3V. PGOOD indicator for switching regulator. It requires a pull up resistor to Vcc or lower voltage. When FB pin reaches 90% of the reference voltage PGOOD transitions from LO to HI state. Not used. Analog ground. Power ground. Low side gate driver output. Provide the voltage supply to the lower MOSFET drivers. Place a high frequency decoupling capacitor 1uF X5R to this pin. This pin is connected to the drain of the external low side MOSFET and is the input of over current protection(OCP) comparator. An internal current source is flown to the external resistor which sets the OCP voltage across the Rdson of the low side MOSFET. This pin is connected to source of high side FETs and provide return path for the high side driver. It is also the input of zero current sensing comparator. High side gate driver output. This pin supplies voltage to high side FET driver. A high freq 1uF X7R ceramic capacitor and 2.2ohm resistor in series are recommended to be placed as close as possible to and connected to this pin and SW pin. Not used. Switching converter enable input. Connect to VCC for PFM/Non synchronous mode, connected to an external resistor divider equals to 70%VCC for ultrasonic, connected to GND for shutdown mode, floating or connected to 2V for the synchronous mode. VIN sensing input. A resistor connects from this pin to VIN will set the frequency. A 1nF capacitor from this pin to GND is recommended to ensure the proper operation. Used as thermal pad. Connect this pad to ground plane through multiple vias.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Symbol Used In Application Information:
VIN VOUT IOUT FS - Input voltage - Output voltage - Output current - Working frequency FS is around 220kHz.
Output Inductor Selection
The value of inductor is decided by inductor ripple current and working frequency. Larger inductor value normally means smaller ripple current. However if the inductance is chosen too large, it brings slow response and lower efficiency. The ripple current is a design freedom which can be decided by design engineer according to various application requirements. The inductor value can be calculated by using the following equations:
DVRIPPLE - Output voltage ripple DIRIPPLE - Inductor current ripple
Design Example
The following is typical application for NX2138, the schematic is figure 1. VIN = 7 to 22V VOUT=1.8V FS=220kHz IOUT=7A DVRIPPLE
