If the MODE/ this voltage. Decouple this pin locally to the IC ground SYNC pin is connected to ground, Burst Mode operation with a minimum of 4.7μF low ESR tantalum or ceramic is enabled. If the MODE/SYNC pin is connected to INTVCC, capacitor. or if an external logic-level synchronization signal is ap- V plied to this input, Burst Mode operation is disabled and IN (Pin 9): Main Supply Pin.

Connect this pin to the drain of the power MOSFET GATE (Pin 7): Gate Driver Output. for VDS sensing and highest effi ciency. Alternatively, the SENSE pin may be connected to a resistor in the source of the power MOSFET. Internal leading edge blanking is provided for both sensing methods.
