PI FU CTIO S
RUN/SS1, RUN/SS2 (Pins 1, 15): Combination of soft-
start, run control inputs and short-circuit detection timers.
A capacitor to ground at each of these pins sets the ramp
time to full output current. Forcing either of these pins
back below 1.0V causes the IC to shut down the circuitry
required for that particular controller. Latchoff overcurrent
protection is also invoked via this pin as described in the
Applications Information section.

Differential Current Comparators.
V
sensed feedback voltage for each controller from an
external resistive divider across the output.
FREQSET (Pin 5): Frequency Control Input to the Oscilla-
tor. This pin can be left open, tied to ground, tied to INTV
or driven by an external voltage source. This pin can also
be used with an external phase detector to build a true
phase-locked loop.
STBYMD (Pin 6): Control pin that determines which cir-
cuitry remains active when the controllers are shut down
and/or provides a common control point to shut down
both controllers. See the Operation section for details.
FCB (Pin 7): Forced Continuous Control Input. This input
acts on the first controller (or both controllers depending
upon the FLTCPL pin—see pin description), and is
normally used to regulate a secondary winding. Pulling
this pin below 0.8V will force continuous synchronous
operation for the first and optionally the second control-
ler. Do not leave this pin floating.
I
ing Regulator Compensation Point. Each associated chan-
nels’ current comparator trip point increases with this
control voltage.
SGND (Pin 9): Small Signal Ground common to both
controllers, must be routed separately from high current
grounds to the common (–) terminals of the C
capacitors.
