ADP1851Data SheetPin No. MnemonicDescription 16 FREQ Internal Oscillator Frequency, fOSC. Sets the desired operating frequency between 200 kHz and 1.5 MHz with one resistor between FREQ and AGND. Connect FREQ to AGND for a preprogrammed 300 kHz, or tie FREQ to VCCO for 600 kHz operating frequency. EPAD (AGND) Exposed Pad, Analog Ground. The exposed pad is the AGND power input of the IC. Connect the exposed pad to the system AGND plane. Rev.
