PGOOD (Pin 17/Pin 19): Power Good Indicator Output. CLKOUT (Pin 34/Pin 36): Clock Output Pin. CLKOUT is Open-drain logic out that is pulled to ground when the 60° out of phase relative to channel 1 in non-shedding output exceeds ±10% regulation window after the internal mode. During stage shedding, CLKOUT is 180° out of 100µs power bad mask timer expires. phase with channel 1. PLLIN (Pin 18/Pin 20): External Synchronization Pin. A MODE (Pin 35/Pin 37): Forced Continuous Mode, Burst clock on the pin synchronizes the internal oscillator with Mode or Shed Mode Selection Pin. Connect this pin the clock on this pin. to SGND to force IC in continuous mode of operation. EXTV Connect to INTVCC to enable shed mode operation.
