This pin is the positive side of the reference voltage for the device. With this pin it is possible to
Kelvin-sense the output voltage at the load.
This pin is the negative side of the reference voltage for the device. Ripple rejection can be
improved by adding a small bypass capacitor from the ADJUST pin to ground. The capacitor value
should be selected so that:
where F
R
is the ripple frequency and R
1
is the value of the resistor between the ADJUST and
SENSE leads of the LX8580A
This is the regulated power output of the device
This pin is the voltage supply pin for the control circuitry of the device. The current flow into this pin
will be about 1% of the output current. Please refer to the electrical characteristics section of
the data sheet for dropout voltage for load conditions.
This is the collector of the power section of the LX8580A. The output load current is supplied
through this pin. For the device to regulate, the voltage at this pin must be between 0.1V and 0.8V
greater than the output voltage (Higher output current require higher voltages differences between
V
PWR
and OUTPUT).
