VOUT1 (A1-A5, B1-B5, C1-C4): Power Output Pins. Apply fSET (C6): Frequency Set Pin. A 10µA current is sourced output load between these pins and GND pins. Recommend from this pin. A resistor from this pin to ground sets a placing output decoupling capacitance directly between voltage that in turn programs the operating frequency. these pins and GND pins. Review Table 4. Alternatively, this pin can be driven with a DC voltage GND (A6-A7, B6-B7, D1-D4, D9-D12, E1-E4, E10-E12, that can set the operating frequency.

Amplifier for Each Channel. Internally, this pin is con- V nected to VOUTS1 or VOUTS2 with a 60.4kΩ precision OUTS1, VOUTS2 (C5, C8): This pin is connected to the top of the internal top feedback resistor for each output. The resistor. Different output voltages can be programmed pin can be directly connected to its specific output, or with an additional resistor between VFB and GND pins. In connected to DIFFOUT when the remote sense amplifier PolyPhase® operation, tying the VFB pins together allows is used. In paralleling modules, one of the V for parallel operation. See the Applications Information OUTS pins is connected to the DIFFOUT pin in remote sensing or directly section for details. to VOUT with no remote sensing. It is very important to connect these pins to either the DIFFOUT or VOUT since this is the feedback path, and cannot be left open.
