PIN
BOOST (Pin 1): 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 0.3 FET structure,
but with a much smaller die area. Efficiency improves from
