They can be pins are used to soft start each channel and to allow grounded or left floating. each channel to track other outputs. Output tracking is DA (Pins 3, 6, 8/Pins 3, 7, 9): Return the Schottky catch implemented by connecting a resistor divider to this pin diode anode to the diode anode (DA) pin. An internal com- from the tracked output. For soft start, tie a capacitor from parator senses the diode current and prevents switching this pin to ground. An internal 1.3µA soft-start current when the diode current is higher than the DA pin current charges the capacitor to create a voltage ramp at the pin. limit. Each channel can be individually shut down by pulling RUN/SS below 0.1V. SW (Pins 4, 5, 7/Pins 4, 5, 6, 8): The SW pins are the output of the internal power switches. Connect each SW EN/UVLO (Pin 16/Pin 16): The EN/UVLO pin is used to pin to an inductor and Schottky catch diode cathode. start up the internal regulator to power the reference and oscillator. It also starts up the internal boost regulator.

The VIN pins should be locally VIN pin when EN/UVLO is less than 1.44V.
