Pin Descriptions Name Pin # Function A resistor divider from this pin to the Vout pin and ground sets the output voltage. Adj (GND) (Ground only for Fixed-Mode) The output of the regulator. A minimum of 10uF capacitor (0.15Ω ≤ESR ≤20Ω) Vout must be connected from this pin to ground to insure stability.
5. Adjustment Procedure Setting the Timing Mode Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution (example 1680 x 1050) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency; example 60 Hz).
