5. Voltage Reference (Vref = 2.5 V)
5.1 Voltage Reference
A bandgap reference built into the IC (see figure 5.1) outputs 2.5 V ± 50 mV. The sawtooth oscillator,
PWM comparator, latch, and other internal circuits are powered by this 2.5 V and an internally-generated
voltage of approximately 3.2 V.
The voltage reference section shut downs when the IC is turned off at the ON/OFF pin as described later,
saving current when the IC is not used and when it operates in intermittent mode during overcurrent.

5.2 Trimming the Reference Voltage (Vref and ADJ pins)
Figure 5.2 shows a simplified circuit equivalent to figure 5.1. The ADJ pin in this circuit is provided for
trimming the reference voltage (Vref). The output at the ADJ pin is a voltage V
ADJ
of 1.25 V (Typ)
generated by the bandgap circuit. Vref is determined by V
