Functional Description

6.2.6

Power ground (PGND1 and PGND2)

PGND1 pin and PGND2 pin are power ground references for the DC/DC1 and DC/DC2

respectively. All switching nodes are referred to these two pins.

6.2.7

Signal ground (SGND)

This pin is the ground reference for standby regulator, HSD and internal bias.

6.2.8

PWM signal ground (SWGND)

This pin is the ground reference for signal part of DC/DC1 and DC/DC2.

6.2.9

TAB

TAB is connected to the device substrate.

This pin must be connected to GND to guarantee the substrate is always at the lowest

potential to avoid parasitic activation.

6.2.10

Linear regulator

Figure 9. Linear regulator diagram

The linear regulator has two operative modes: standby mode and non-standby mode. Its

output voltage is set by an external resistor divider through the feedback pin FBLDO.

As a standby regulator, the current capability is reduced to 50 mA and the quiescent current

minimized.

In this case, the external resistor divider should be in the Mega ohm order to reduce total

quiescent current.

As a non standby regulator, it has higher load capability (up to 250 mA).
