Description
Voltage regulator HOT / enable pin. Internally pulled up by 10 µA (typ) to 3.3 V.
Multifunction pin to enable/disable the system (input-signal) and to provide the
information about the warning temperature (output-signal).
Forced low, the device stops operations with all MOSFETs OFF: all the latched
protections are disabled. Removing the short on VR_HOT/EN pin, the device
starts-up implementing soft-start and the voltage at the pin is clamped by the
device at 1.5 V (typ). When a warning temperature is detected the device
leaves the pin floating.
Thermal monitoring enabled if Vcc > UVLOVCC (See “thermal monitoring”
section for details).
VR_HOT/EN pin is set free when:
• Either TCS pin voltage overcomes the warning threshold voltage (see TCS
pin for details).
• Or Tj_IC Die temperature overcomes the die warning temperature (T_HOT)
Where T_HOT=T_Shutdown-T_Delta
Use a pull-up resistor in the range of 10 kΩ−30 kΩ when VR_HOT/EN pin is
directly pulled up to 3.3 V. (see VR_HOT/EN pin voltage Electrical
Characteristic table).
Cycle this pin to recover latch from protections.

Voltage identification pins. Internally pulled low by 10 µA.
They allow programming output voltage from the 4-level “power play table” in
PVID mode.
Current reference pin.
Internally fixed at 1.240 V, connecting a RIREF = 12.4 kΩ (+/-0.1%) resistor vs.
AGND allows setting 100 µA current that is mirrored into R1, R2, R3 pins in
order to program the three power play table levels voltage. See “power play
table level” section for details.
Default “power play table” voltage setting pins.
The device sources from each Rx pin the same constant current sourced from
the IREF pin (
Internally mirrored). As a consequence the Voltage between Rx pin and AGND
is given by the following relationship: VRx= IREF * Rx=100 µA*Rx, where IREF
is the current programmed on IREF pin (100 µA). As soon as the ENABLE is
released the device reads the Rx pin voltage and it stores these value. As a
consequence if the power play table is re-written by serial BUS the analog
values can not be recovered (voltage fixed by Rx resistor). See “power play
table level” section for details.

Internally fixed at 1.240 V it allows programming the switching frequency FSW

Frequency is programmed according to the Rosc resistor connected from the

switching frequency of 200 kHz per phase.
The device uses this pin also to enable/disable the droop function.
See “droop function“ section for details.
Output current indication and over current protection setting.
The device sources from this pin a current proportional to the load current
[(DCR/Rg)*IOUT)].
Connect a resistor from this pin to AGND to program the over current
IOUT/OCP protection level.
This pin is also used as output current indication. Voltage measured at this pin
is proportional to the output current. External NTC can be used for
temperature compensation of OCP and IOUT readings. See “over current
protection “section for details.
