This pin is driven up to the input pin BOOST (Pin 6): The BOOST pin is used to provide a drive voltage during switch on time. Inductor current drives the voltage, higher than the input voltage, to the internal SW pin negative during switch off time. Negative voltage bipolar NPN power switch. Without this added voltage, the is clamped with the external catch diode. Maximum nega- typical switch voltage loss would be about 1.5V. The tive switch voltage allowed is –0.8V. additional BOOST voltage allows the switch to saturate and its voltage loss approximates that of a 0.1Ω FET VIN (Pins 3, 4): This is the collector of the on-chip power structure.
