This pin provides the bootstrap voltage to the high-side gate driver for driving the

Feedback Input of Converter. The converter senses feedback voltage via FB and
regulates the FB voltage at 0.8V. Connecting FB with a resistor-divider from the
output sets the output voltage of the converter.
This is a multiplexed pin. During soft-start and normal converter operation, this pin
represents the output of the error amplifier. It is used to compensate the regulation
control loop in combination with the FB pin.
Pulling COMP low (VDISABLE = 0.4V max.) will shut down the controller. When the
pull-down device is released, the COMP pin will start to rise. When the COMP pin
rises above the VDISABLE trip point, the APW8720B will begin a new initialization
and soft-start cycle.
This pin is the return path for the high-side gate driver. Connecting this pin to the
high-side MOSFET source and connect a capacitor to BOOT for the bootstrap
voltage. This pin is also used to monitor the voltage drop across the low-side
MOSFET for over-current protection.

and turns on the low-side MOSFET until the output voltage falls below the falling OVP threshold.
Shutdown and Enable
The APW8720B can be shut down or enabled by pulling
low the voltage on COMP. The COMP is a dual-function
pin. During normal operation, this pin represents the output of the error amplifier. It is used to compensate the
regulation control loop in combination with the FB pin.
Pulling the COMP low (VDISABLE = 0.4V maximum) places
the controller into shutdown mode which UGATE and
LGATE are pulled to PHASE and GND respectively.
When the pull-down device is released, the COMP voltage will start to rise. When the COMP voltage rises above
the VDISABLE threshold, the APW8720B will begin a new
initialization and soft-start process.

nodes are fast moving signals. Therefore, keep traces
to these nodes as short as possible.
Close to IC
- The traces from the gate drivers to the MOSFETs (UG
and LG) should be short and wide.
Figure 8. Layout Guidelines
- Place the source of the high-side MOSFET and the drain
of the low-side MOSFET as close as possible. Minimizing the impedance with wide layout plane between the
two pads reduces the voltage bounce of the node.
- Decoupling capacitor, compensation component, the
resistor dividers, and boot capacitors should be close
their pins. (For example, place the decoupling ceramic
capacitor near the drain of the high-side MOSFET as
close as possible. The bulk capacitors are also placed
near the drain).
- The input capacitor should be near the drain of the upper MOSFET; the output capacitor should be near the
loads. The input capacitor GND should be close to the
output capacitor GND and the lower MOSFET GND.
- The drain of the MOSFETs (VIN and PHASE nodes) should
be a large plane for heat sinking.
- The ROCSET resistance should be placed near the IC as
close as possible.
