•
The LM20144 is a full featured adjustable frequency
synchronous buck regulator capable of delivering up
to 4A of continuous output current. The current mode
control loop can be compensated to be stable with
virtually any type of output capacitor. For most cases,
compensating the device only requires two external
components, providing maximum flexibility and ease
of use. The device is optimized to work over the input
voltage range of 2.95V to 5.5V making it suited for a
wide variety of low voltage systems.

The device features internal over voltage protection
(OVP) and over current protection (OCP) circuits for
increased system reliability. A precision enable pin
and integrated UVLO allows the turn-on of the device
to be tightly controlled and sequenced. Start-up
inrush currents are limited by both an internally fixed
and externally adjustable Soft-Start circuit. Fault
detection and supply sequencing is possible with the
integrated power good circuit.
The LM20144 is designed to work well in multi-rail
power supply architectures. The output voltage of the
device can be configured to track a higher voltage rail
using the SS/TRK pin. If the output of the LM20144 is
pre-biased at startup it will not sink current to pull the
output low until the internal soft-start ramp exceeds
the voltage at the feedback pin.

SNVS529G – OCTOBER 2007 – REVISED MARCH 2013
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The LM20144 switching regulator features all of the functions necessary to implement an efficient low voltage
buck regulator using a minimum number of external components. This easy to use regulator features two
integrated switches and is capable of supplying up to 4A of continuous output current. The regulator utilizes peak
current mode control with nonlinear slope compensation to optimize stability and transient response over the
entire output voltage range. Peak current mode control also provides inherent line feed-forward, cycle-by-cycle
current limiting and easy loop compensation. The switching frequency can be varied from 500 kHz to 1.5 MHz.
The device can operate at high switching frequency allowing use of a small inductor while still achieving high
efficiency. The precision internal voltage reference allows the output to be set as low as 0.8V. Fault protection
features include: current limiting, thermal shutdown, over voltage protection, and shutdown capability. The device
is available in the HTSSOP 16-pin package featuring an exposed pad to aid thermal dissipation. The LM20144
can be used in numerous applications to efficiently step-down from a 5V or 3.3V bus. The typical application
circuit for the LM20144 is shown in Figure 28 in the design guide.
PRECISION ENABLE
The enable (EN) pin allows the output of the device to be enabled or disabled with an external control signal.
This pin is a precision analog input that enables the device when the voltage exceeds 1.18V (typical). The EN pin
has 66 mV of hysteresis and will disable the output when the enable voltage falls below 1.11V (typical). If the EN
pin is not used, it should be connected to VIN. Since the enable pin has a precise turn-on threshold it can be
used along with an external resistor divider network from VIN to configure the device to turn-on at a precise input
voltage. The precision enable circuitry will remain active even when the device is disabled.
PEAK CURRENT MODE CONTROL
In most cases, the peak current mode control architecture used in the LM20144 only requires two external
components to achieve a stable design. The compensation can be selected to accommodate any capacitor type
or value. The external compensation also allows the user to set the crossover frequency and optimize the
transient performance of the device.
For duty cycles above 50% all current mode control buck converters require the addition of an artificial ramp to
avoid sub-harmonic oscillation. This artificial linear ramp is commonly referred to as slope compensation. What
makes the LM20144 unique is the amount of slope compensation will change depending on the output voltage.
When operating at high output voltages the device will have more slope compensation than when operating at
lower output voltages. This is accomplished in the LM20144 by using a non-linear parabolic ramp for the slope
compensation. The parabolic slope compensation of the LM20144 is much better than the traditional linear slope
compensation because it optimizes the stability of the device over the entire output voltage range.
CURRENT LIMIT
The precise current limit of the LM20123 is set at the factory to be within 10% over the entire operating
temperature range. This enables the device to operate with smaller inductors that have lower saturation currents.
When the peak inductor current reaches the current limit threshold, an over current event is triggered and the
internal high-side FET turns off and the low-side FET turns on allowing the inductor current to ramp down until
the next switching cycle. For each sequential over-current event, the reference voltage is decremented and PWM
pulses are skipped resulting in a current limit that does not aggressively fold back for brief over-current events,
while at the same time providing frequency and voltage foldback protection during hard short circuit conditions.
SOFT-START AND VOLTAGE TRACKING
The SS/TRK pin is a dual function pin that can be used to set the start up time or track an external voltage
source. The start up or Soft-Start time can be adjusted by connecting a capacitor from the SS/TRK pin to ground.
The Soft-Start feature allows the regulator output to gradually reach the steady state operating point, thus
reducing stresses on the input supply and controlling start up current. If no Soft-Start capacitor is used the device
defaults to the internal Soft-Start circuitry resulting in a start up time of approximately 1ms. For applications that
require a monotonic start up or utilize the PGOOD pin, an external Soft-Start capacitor is recommended. The
SS/TRK pin can also be set to track an external voltage source. The tracking behavior can be adjusted by two
external resistors connected to the SS/TRK pin as shown in Figure 33. in the design guide.

LM20144
SNVS529G – OCTOBER 2007 – REVISED MARCH 2013
www.ti.com
PRE-BIAS START UP CAPABILITY
The LM20144 is in a pre-biased state when the device starts up with an output voltage greater than zero. This
often occurs in many multi-rail applications such as when powering an FPGA, ASIC, or DSP. In these
applications the output can be pre-biased through parasitic conduction paths from one supply rail to another.
Even though the LM20144 is a synchronous converter it will not pull the output low when a pre-bias condition
exists. During start up the LM20144 will not sink current until the Soft-Start voltage exceeds the voltage on the
FB pin. Since the device can not sink current it protects the load from damage that might otherwise occur if
current is conducted through the parasitic paths of the load.
POWER GOOD AND OVER VOLTAGE FAULT HANDLING
The LM20144 has built in under and over voltage comparators that control the power switches. Whenever there
is an excursion in output voltage above the set OVP threshold, the part will terminate the present on-pulse, turnon the low-side FET, and pull the PGOOD pin low. The low-side FET will remain on until either the FB voltage
falls back into regulation or the zero cross detection is triggered which in turn tri-states the FETs. If the output
reaches the UVP threshold the part will continue switching and the PGOOD pin will be asserted and go low.
Typical values for the PGOOD resistor are on the order of 100 kΩ or less. To avoid false tripping during transient
glitches the PGOOD pin has 16 µs of built in deglitch time to both rising and falling edges.
UVLO
The LM20144 has a built-in under-voltage lockout protection circuit that keeps the device from switching until the
input voltage reaches 2.7V (typical). The UVLO threshold has 45 mV of hysteresis that keeps the device from
responding to power-on glitches during start up. If desired the turn-on point of the supply can be changed by
using the precision enable pin and a resistor divider network connected to VIN as shown in Figure 32. in the
design guide.
THERMAL PROTECTION
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event that the maximum
junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 160°C, the LM20144 tri-states the power FETs
and resets soft start. After the junction cools to approximately 150°C, the part starts up using the normal start up
routine. This feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating.
LIGHT LOAD OPERATION
The LM20144 offers increased efficiency when operating at light loads. Whenever the load current is reduced to
a point where the peak to peak inductor ripple current is greater than two times the load current, the part will
enter the diode emulation mode preventing significant negative inductor current. The point at which this occurs is
the critical conduction boundary and can be calculated by the following equation:
IBOUNDARY =
(VIN ± VOUT) x D
2 x L x fSW
(1)
Several diagrams are shown in Figure 27 illustrating continuous conduction mode (CCM), discontinuous
conduction mode, and the boundary condition.
It can be seen that in diode emulation mode, whenever the inductor current reaches zero the SW node will
become high impedance. Ringing will occur on this pin as a result of the LC tank circuit formed by the inductor
and the parasitic capacitance at the node. If this ringing is of concern an additional RC snubber circuit can be
added from the switch node to ground.
At very light loads, usually below 100 mA, several pulses may be skipped in between switching cycles, effectively
reducing the switching frequency and further improving light-load efficiency.

Design Guide
This section walks the designer through the steps necessary to select the external components to build a fully
functional power supply. As with any DC-DC converter numerous trade-offs are possible to optimize the design
for efficiency, size, or performance. These will be taken into account and highlighted throughout this discussion.
To facilitate component selection discussions the circuit shown in Figure 28 below may be used as a reference.
Unless otherwise indicated all formulas assume units of amps (A) for current, farads (F) for capacitance, henries
(H) for inductance and volts (V) for voltages.

The first equation to calculate for any buck converter is duty-cycle. Ignoring conduction losses associated with
the FETs and parasitic resistances it can be approximated by:
D=

INDUCTOR SELECTION (L)
The inductor value is determined based on the operating frequency, load current, ripple current, and duty cycle.
The inductor selected should have a saturation current rating greater than the peak current limit of the device.
Keep in mind the specified current limit does not account for delay of the current limit comparator, therefore the
current limit in the application may be higher than the specified value. To optimize the performance and prevent
the device from entering current limit at maximum load, the inductance is typically selected such that the ripple
current, ΔiL, is less than 30% of the rated output current. Figure 29, shown below illustrates the switch and
inductor ripple current waveforms. Once the input voltage, output voltage, operating frequency, and desired ripple
current are known, the minimum value for the inductor can be calculated by the formula shown below:

Figure 29. Switch and Inductor Current Waveforms
If needed, slightly smaller value inductors can be used, however, the peak inductor current, IOUT + ΔiL/2, should
be kept below the peak current limit of the device. In general, the inductor ripple current, ΔiL, should be greater
than 10% of the rated output current to provide adequate current sense information for the current mode control
loop. If the ripple current in the inductor is too low, the control loop will not have sufficient current sense
information and can be prone to instability.

OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION (COUT)
The output capacitor, COUT, filters the inductor ripple current and provides a source of charge for transient load
conditions. A wide range of output capacitors may be used with the LM20144 that provide excellent performance.
The best performance is typically obtained using ceramic, SP, or OSCON type chemistries. Typical trade-offs are
that the ceramic capacitor provides extremely low ESR to reduce the output ripple voltage and noise spikes,
while the SP and OSCON capacitors provide a large bulk capacitance in a small volume for transient loading
conditions.
When selecting the value for the output capacitor the two performance characteristics to consider are the output
voltage ripple and transient response. The output voltage ripple can be approximated by using the formula shown
below.
'VOUT = 'iL x RESR +
1
8 x fSW x COUT
where
•
•
•
•
ΔVOUT (V) is the amount of peak to peak voltage ripple at the power supply output
RESR (Ω) is the series resistance of the output capacitor
fSW(Hz) is the switching frequency
COUT (F) is the output capacitance used in the design
(4)
The amount of output ripple that can be tolerated is application specific; however a general recommendation is to
keep the output ripple less than 1% of the rated output voltage. Keep in mind ceramic capacitors are sometimes
preferred because they have very low ESR; however, depending on package and voltage rating of the capacitor
the value of the capacitance can drop significantly with applied voltage. The output capacitor selection will also
affect the output voltage droop during a load transient. The peak droop on the output voltage during a load
transient is dependent on many factors; however, an approximation of the transient droop ignoring loop
bandwidth can be obtained using the following equation.
VDROOP = 'IOUTSTEP x RESR +
L x 'IOUTSTEP2
COUT x (VIN - VOUT)
where
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
COUT (F) is the minimum required output capacitance
L (H) is the value of the inductor
VDROOP (V) is the output voltage drop ignoring loop bandwidth considerations
ΔIOUTSTEP (A) is the load step change
RESR (Ω) is the output capacitor ESR
VIN (V) is the input voltage
VOUT (V) is the set regulator output voltage
(5)
Both the tolerance and voltage coefficient of the capacitor needs to be examined when designing for a specific
output ripple or transient drop target.
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION (CIN)
Good quality input capacitors are necessary to limit the ripple voltage at the VIN pin while supplying most of the
switch current during the on-time. In general it is recommended to use a ceramic capacitor for the input as they
provide both a low impedance and small footprint. One important note is to use a good dielectric for the ceramic
capacitor such as X5R or X7R. These provide better over temperature performance and also minimize the DC
voltage derating that occurs on Y5V capacitors. For most applications, a 22 µF, X5R, 6.3V input capacitor is
sufficient; however, additional capacitance may be required if the connection to the input supply is far from the
PVIN pins. The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible PVIN and PGND pins of the device.
Non-ceramic input capacitors should be selected for RMS current rating and minimum ripple voltage. A good
approximation for the required ripple current rating is given by the relationship:
IIN-RMS = IOUT D(1 - D)

www.ti.com
As indicated by the RMS ripple current equation, highest requirement for RMS current rating occurs at 50% duty
cycle. For this case, the RMS ripple current rating of the input capacitor should be greater than half the output
current. For best performance, low ESR ceramic capacitors should be placed in parallel with higher capacitance
capacitors to provide the best input filtering for the device.
SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE (RFB1, RFB2)
The resistors RFB1 and RFB2 are selected to set the output voltage for the device. Table 1, shown below, provides
suggestions for RFB1 and RFB2 for common output voltages.

ADJUSTING THE OPERATING FREQUENCY (RT)

LOOP COMPENSATION (RC1, CC1)
The purpose of loop compensation is to meet static and dynamic performance requirements while maintaining
adequate stability. Optimal loop compensation depends on the output capacitor, inductor, load, and the device
itself. Table 2 below gives values for the compensation network that will result in a stable system when using a
100 µF, 6.3V ceramic X5R output capacitor and 1 µH inductor.

Transfer Function
If the desired solution differs from the table above the loop transfer function should be analyzed to optimize the
loop compensation. The overall loop transfer function is the product of the power stage and the feedback network
transfer functions. For stability purposes, the objective is to have a loop gain slope that is -20db/decade from a
very low frequency to beyond the crossover frequency. Figure 30, shown below, shows the transfer functions for
power stage, feedback/compensation network, and the resulting closed loop system for the LM20144.

The power stage transfer function is dictated by the modulator, output LC filter, and load; while the feedback
transfer function is set by the feedback resistor ratio, error amp gain, and external compensation network.
To achieve a -20dB/decade slope, the error amplifier zero, located at fZ(EA), should positioned to cancel the
output filter pole (fP(FIL)). An additional error amp pole, located at fP2(EA), can be added to cancel the output filter
zero at fZ(FIL). Cancellation of the output filter zero is recommended if larger value, non-ceramic output capacitors
are used.
Compensation of the LM20144 is achieved by adding an RC network as shown in Figure 31 below.

A higher crossover frequency can be obtained, usually at the expense of phase margin, by lowering the value of
CC1 and recalculating the value of RC1. Likewise, increaseing CC1 and recalculating RC1 will provide additional
phase margin at a lower crossover frequency. As with any attempt to compensate the LM20144 the stability of
the system should be verified for desired transient droop and settling time.
If the output filter zero, fZ(FIL) approaches the crossover frequency (FC), an additional capacitor (CC2) should be
placed at the COMP pin to ground. This capacitor adds a pole to cancel the output filter zero assuring the
crossover frequency will occur before the double pole at fSW/2 degrades the phase margin. The output filter zero
is set by the output capacitor value and ESR as shown in the equation below.

AVIN FILTERING COMPONENTS (CF and RF)
To prevent high frequency noise spikes from disturbing the sensitive analog circuitry connected to the AVIN and
AGND pins, a high frequency RC filter is required between PVIN and AVIN. These components are shown in
Figure 28. as CF and RF. The required value for RF is 1Ω. CF must be used. Recommended value of CF is 1.0
µF. The filter capacitor, CF should be placed as close to the IC as possible with a direct connection from AVIN to
AGND. A good quality X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor should be used for CF.
SUB-REGULATOR BYPASS CAPACITOR (CVCC)
The capacitor at the VCC pin provides noise filtering and stability for the internal sub-regulator. The
recommended value of CVCC should be no smaller than 1 µF and no greater than 10 µF. The capacitor should be
a good quality ceramic X5R or X7R capacitor. In general, a 1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for most
applications.
SETTING THE START UP TIME (CSS)
The addition of a capacitor connected from the SS pin to ground sets the time at which the output voltage will
reach the final regulated value. Larger values for CSS will result in longer start up times. Table 3, shown below
provides a list of soft start capacitors and the corresponding typical start up times.

If different start up times are needed the equation shown below can be used to calculate the start up time.

(12)
As shown above, the start up time is influenced by the value of the Soft-Start capacitor CSS(F) and the 5 µA SoftStart pin current ISS(A). that may be found in the electrical characteristics table.
While the Soft-Start capacitor can be sized to meet many start up requirements, there are limitations to its size.
The Soft-Start time can never be faster than 1 ms due to the internal default 1 ms start up time. When the device
is enabled there is an approximate time interval of 50 µs when the Soft-Start capacitor will be discharged just
prior to the Soft-Start ramp. If the enable pin is rapidly pulsed or the Soft-Start capacitor is large there may not be
enough time for CSS to completely discharge resulting in start up times less than predicted. To aid in discharging
the Soft-Start capacitor during long disable periods an external 1 MΩ resistor from SS/TRK to ground can be
used without greatly affecting the start-up time.
USING PRECISION ENABLE AND POWER GOOD
The precision enable (EN) and power good (PGOOD) pins of the LM20144 can be used to address many
sequencing requirements. The turn-on of the LM20144 can be controlled with the precision enable pin by using
two external resistors as shown in Figure 32.

Figure 32. Sequencing LM20144 with Precision Enable
The value for resistor RB can be selected by the user to control the current through the divider. Typically this
resistor will be selected to be between 10 kΩ and 1 MΩ. Once the value for RB is chosen the resistor RA can be
solved using the equation below to set the desired turn-on voltage.
RA =
VTO
VIH_EN
- 1 x RB
(13)
When designing for a specific turn-on threshold (VTO) the tolerance on the input supply, enable threshold
(VIH_EN), and external resistors needs to be considered to insure proper turn-on of the device.
The LM20144 features an open drain power good (PGOOD) pin to sequence external supplies or loads and to
provide fault detection. This pin requires an external resistor (RPG) to pull PGOOD high while when the output is
within the PGOOD tolerance window. Typical values for this resistor range from 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ.
TRACKING AN EXTERNAL SUPPLY
By using a properly chosen resistor divider network connected to the SS/TRK pin, as shown in Figure 33, the
output of the LM20144 can be configured to track an external voltage source to obtain a simultaneous or
ratiometric start up.

A simultaneous start up is preferred when powering most FPGAs, DSPs, or other microprocessors. In these
systems the higher voltage, VOUT1, usually powers the I/O, and the lower voltage, VOUT2, powers the core. A
simultaneous start up provides a more robust power up for these applications since it avoids turning on any
parasitic conduction paths that may exist between the core and the I/O pins of the processor.
The second most common power on behavior is known as a ratiometric start up. This start up is preferred in
applications where both supplies need to be at the final value at the same time.
Similar to the Soft-Start function, the fastest start up possible is 1ms regardless of the rise time of the tracking
voltage. When using the track feature the final voltage seen by the SS/TRACK pin should exceed 1V to provide
sufficient overdrive and transient immunity.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The thermal characteristics of the LM20144 are specified using the parameter θJA, which relates the junction
temperature to the ambient temperature. Although the value of θJA is dependant on many variables, it still can be
used to approximate the operating junction temperature of the device.
To obtain an estimate of the device junction temperature, one may use the following relationship:
TJ = PDθJA + TA
(14)
and
PD = PIN x (1 - Efficiency) - 1.1 x IOUT2 x DCR
where
•
•
•
•
•
•
TJ is the junction temperature in °C
PIN is the input power in Watts (PIN = VIN x IIN)
θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance for the LM20144
TA is the ambient temperature in °C
IOUT is the output load current
DCR is the inductor series resistance
(15)
It is important to always keep the operating junction temperature (TJ) below 125°C for reliable operation. If the
junction temperature exceeds 160°C the device will cycle in and out of thermal shutdown. If thermal shutdown
occurs it is a sign of inadequate heatsinking or excessive power dissipation in the device.
Figure 35, shown below, provides a better approximation of the θJA for a given PCB copper area. The PCB
heatsink area consists of 2oz. copper located on the bottom layer of the PCB directly under the HTSSOP
exposed pad. The bottom copper area is connected to the HTSSOP exposed pad by means of a 4 x 4 array of
12 mil thermal vias.

PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance
of a DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss
in the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter resulting in poor regulation or instability.
Good layout can be implemented by following a few simple design rules.
1. Minimize area of switched current loops. In a buck regulator there are two loops where currents are switched
very fast. The first loop starts from the input capacitor, to the regulator VIN pin, to the regulator SW pin, to
the inductor then out to the output capacitor and load. The second loop starts from the output capacitor
ground, to the regulator PGND pins, to the inductor and then out to the load (see Figure 36). To minimize
both loop areas the input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the PVIN pin. Grounding for
both the input and output capacitor should consist of a small localized top side plane that connects to PGND
and the die attach pad (DAP). The inductor should be placed as close as possible to the SW pin and output
capacitor.
2. Minimize the copper area of the switch node. Since the LM20144 has the SW pins on opposite sides of the
package it is recommended to via these pins down to the bottom or internal layer with 2 to 4 vias on each
SW pin. The SW pins should be directly connected with a trace that runs across the bottom of the package.
To minimize IR losses this trace should be no smaller that 50 mils wide, but no larger than 100 mils wide to
keep the copper area to a minimum. In general the SW pins should not be connected on the top layer since it
could block the ground return path for the power ground. The inductor should be placed as close as possible
to one of the SW pins to further minimize the copper area of the switch node.
3. Have a single point ground for all device analog grounds located under the DAP. The ground connections for
the compensation, feedback, and Soft-Start components should be connected together then routed to the
AGND pin of the device. The AGND pin should connect to PGND under the DAP. This prevents any
switched or load currents from flowing in the analog ground plane. If not properly handled poor grounding
can result in degraded load regulation or erratic switching behavior.
4. Minimize trace length to the FB pin. Since the feedback node can be high impedance the trace from the
output resistor divider to FB pin should be as short as possible. This is most important when high value
resistors are used to set the output voltage. The feedback trace should be routed away from the SW pin and
inductor to avoid contaminating the feedback signal with switch noise.
5. Make input and output bus connections as wide as possible. This reduces any voltage drops on the input or
output of the converter and can improve efficiency. If voltage accuracy at the load is important make sure
feedback voltage sense is made at the load. Doing so will correct for voltage drops at the load and provide
the best output accuracy.
6. Provide adequate device heatsinking. Use as many vias as is possible to connect the DAP to the power
plane heatsink. For best results use a 4x4 via array with a minimum via diameter of 12 mils. See the Thermal
Considerations section to insure enough copper heatsinking area is used to keep the junction temperature
below 125°C.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4)
There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
