TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
PIN
BOOST: The BOOST pin is used to provide a drive voltage,
higher than the input voltage, to the internal bipolar NPN
power switch. Without this added voltage, the typical
switch voltage loss would be about 1.5V. The additional
boost voltage allows the switch to saturate and voltage
loss approximates that of a 0.3Ω FET structure, but with
much smaller die area. Efficiency improves from 75% for
conventional bipolar designs to > 87% for these new parts.
V
NPN switch. It is driven up to the input pin voltage during
switch on time. Inductor current drives the switch pin
negative during switch off time. Negative voltage is clamped

with the external catch diode. Maximum negative switch
voltage allowed is – 0.8V.
SHDN: The shutdown pin is used to turn off the regulator
and to reduce input drain current to a few microamperes.
Actually, this pin has two separate thresholds, one at
2.38V to disable switching, and a second at 0.4V to force
complete micropower shutdown. The 2.38V threshold
functions as an accurate undervoltage lockout (UVLO).
This is sometimes used to prevent the regulator from
operating until the input voltage has reached a predeter-
mined level.
