DESCRIPTION
The TPS6240x device series are synchronous dual
step-down DC-DC converters optimized for battery
powered portable applications. They provide two
independent output voltage rails powered by 1-cell
Li-Ion or 3-cell NiMH/NiCD batteries. The devices are
also suitable to operate from a standard 3.3V or 5V
voltage rail.
With an input voltage range of 2.5V to 6V the
TPS62400 is ideal to power portable applications like
smart phones, PDAs and other portable equipment.
With the EasyScale™ serial interface the output
voltages can be modified during operation. The fixed
output voltage versions TPS62401, TPS62402,
TPS62403, and TPS62404 support one pin controlled
simple Dynamic Voltage Scaling for low power
processors.
The TPS6240x operates at 2.25MHz fixed switching
frequency and enters the power save mode operation
at light load currents to maintain high efficiency over
the entire load current range. For low noise
applications the devices can be forced into fixed
frequency PWM mode by pulling the MODE/DATA
pin high. In the shutdown mode, the current
consumption is reduced to 1.2mA, typical. The
devices allow the use of small inductors and
capacitors to achieve a small solution size.
The TPS62400 is available in a 10-pin leadless
package (3×3mm QFN)

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

On pins SW1 and SW2 an internal resistor of 1MΩ is connected to GND.
Output voltage specification does not include tolerance of external voltage programming resistors
Configuration L typ 2.2mH, COUT typ 20mF, see parameter measurement information, the output voltage ripple in PFM mode depends on
the effective capacitance of the output capacitor, larger output capacitors lead to tighter output voltage tolerance.
In Power Save Mode, PWM operation is typically entered at IPSM = VIN/32Ω.
For VOUT > 2V, VIN min = VOUT +0.5V
This time is valid if one converter turns from shutdown mode (EN2 = 0) to active mode (EN2 = 1) AND the other converter is already
enabled (e.g., EN1 = 1). In case both converters are turned from shutdown mode (EN1 and EN2 = low) to active mode (EN1 and/or
EN2=1) a value of typ 80 ms for ramp up of internal circuits needs to be added. After tStart the converter starts switching and ramps
VOUT.

DESCRIPTION
I
Input to adjust output voltage of converter 2. In adjustable version (TPS62400) connect a external resistor
divider between VOUT2, this pin and GND to set output voltage between 0.6V and VIN. At fixed output
voltage version (TPS62401) this pin MUST be directly connected to the output. If EasyScale Interface is
used for converter 2, this pin must be directly connected to the output, too.
This Pin has 2 functions:
MODE/DATA
2
I/0
1. Operation Mode selection: With low level, Power Save Mode is enabled where the device operates
in PFM mode at light loads and enters automatically PWM mode at heavy loads. Pulling this PIN to
high forces the device to operate in PWM mode over the whole load range.
2. EasyScale™ Interface function: One wire serial interface to change the output voltage of both
converters. The pin has an open drain output to provide an acknowledge condition if requested. The
current into the open drain output stage may not exceed 500mA. The interface is active if either EN1
or EN2 is high.
VIN

FB1
4
Supply voltage, connect to VBAT, 2.5V to 6V
Direct feedback voltage sense input of converter 1, connect directly to Vout 1. An internal feed forward
capacitor is connected between this pin and the error amplifier. In case of fixed output voltage versions or
when the Interface is used, this pin is connected to an internal resistor divider network.
I
This pin defines the output voltage of converter 1. The pin acts either as analog input for output voltage
setting via external resistors (TPS62400), or digital input to select between two fixed default output
voltages (TPS62401, TPS62402, TPS62403).
DEF_1

For the TPS62400, an external resistor network needs to be connected to this pin to adjust the default
output voltage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
The TPS62400 includes two synchronous step-down converters. The converters operate with typically 2.25MHz
fixed frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) at moderate to heavy load currents. If Power Safe Mode is
enabled, the converters automatically enter Power Save Mode at light load currents and operate in PFM (Pulse
Frequency Modulation).
During PWM operation the converters use a unique fast response voltage mode controller scheme with input
voltage feed-forward to achieve good line and load regulation allowing the use of small ceramic input and output
capacitors. At the beginning of each clock cycle initiated by the clock signal, the P-channel MOSFET switch is
turned on and the inductor current ramps up until the comparator trips and the control logic turns off the switch.
Each converter integrates two current limits, one in the P-channel MOSFET and another one in the N-channel
MOSFET. When the current in the P-channel MOSFET reaches its current limit, the P-channel MOSFET is
turned off and the N-channel MOSFET is turned on. If the current in the N-channel MOSFET is above the
N-MOS current limit threshold, the N-channel MOSFET remains on until the current drops below its current limit.
The two DC-DC converters operate synchronized to each other. A 180° phase shift between converter 1 and
converter 2 decreases the input RMS current.
Converter 1
In the adjustable output voltage version TPS62400 the converter 1 default output voltage can be set via an
external resistor network on PIN DEF_1, which operates as an analog input. In this case, the output voltage can
be set in the range of 0.6V to VIN V. The FB1 Pin must be directly connected to the converter 1 output voltage
VOUT1. It feeds back the output voltage directly to the regulation loop.
The output voltage of converter 1 can also be changed by the EasyScale™ serial Interface. This makes the
device very flexible for output voltage adjustment. In this case, the device uses an internal resistor network.
In the fixed default output voltage version TPS62401, the DEF_1 Pin is configured as a digital input. The
converter 1 defaults to 1.1V or 1.575V depending on the level of DEF_1 pin. If DEF_1 is low the default is
1.575V; if high, the default is 1.1V. With the EasyScale™ interface, the output voltage for each DEF_1 Pin
condition (high or low) can be changed.

SLVS681E – JUNE 2006 – REVISED APRIL 2010
Converter 2
In the adjustable output voltage version TPS62400, the converter 2 output voltage is set by an external resistor
divider connected to ADJ2 Pin and uses an external feed forward capacitor of 33pF.
In fixed output voltage version TPS62401, the default output voltage is fixed to 1.8V. In this case, the ADJ2 pin
must be connected directly to the converter 2 output voltage VOUT2.
It is also possible to change the output voltage of converter 2 via the EasyScale™ Interface. In this case, the
ADJ2 Pin must be directly connected to converter 2 output voltage VOUT2 and no external resistors may be
connected.
POWER SAVE MODE
The Power Save Mode is enabled with Mode/Data Pin set to low for both converters. If the load current of a
converter decreases, this converter will enter Power Save Mode operation automatically. The transition to Power
Save Mode of a converter is independent from the operating condition of the other converter. During Power Save
Mode the converter operates with reduced switching frequency in PFM mode and with a minimum quiescent
current to maintain high efficiency. The converter will position the output voltage in PFM mode to typically
1.01×VOUT. This voltage positioning feature minimizes voltage drops caused by a sudden load step.
In order to optimize the converter efficiency at light load the average inductor current is monitored. The device
changes from PWM Mode to Power Save Mode, if in PWM mode the inductor current falls below a certain
threshold. The typical output current threshold depends on VIN and can be calculated according to Equation 1
for each converter.
Equation 1: Average output current threshold to enter PFM Mode
VINDCDC
I OUT_PFM_enter +
32 W
(1)
Equation 2: Average output current threshold to leave PFM Mode
VINDCDC
I OUT_PFM_leave +
24 W
(2)
In order to keep the output voltage ripple in Power Save Mode low, the output voltage is monitored with a single
threshold comparator (skip comparator). As the output voltage falls below the skip comparator threshold (skip
comp) of 1.01 x VOUTnominal, the corresponding converter starts switching for a minimum time period of typ.
1ms and provides current to the load and the output capacitor. Therefore the output voltage will increase and the
device maintains switching until the output voltage trips the skip comparator threshold (skip comp) again. At this
moment all switching activity is stopped and the quiescent current is reduced to minimum. The load is supplied
by the output capacitor until the output voltage has dropped below the threshold again. Hereupon the device
starts switching again.
The Power Save Mode is left and PWM Mode entered in case the output current exceeds the current
IOUT_PFM_leave or if the output voltage falls below a second comparator threshold, called skip comparator low
(Skip Comp Low) threshold. This skip comparator low threshold is set to -2% below nominal Vout, and enables a
fast transition from Power Save Mode to PWM Mode during a load step.
In Power Save Mode the quiescent current is reduced typically to 19mA for one converter and 32mA for both
converters active. This single skip comparator threshold method in Power Save Mode results in a very low output
voltage ripple. The ripple depends on the comparator delay and the size of the output capacitor. Increasing
output capacitor values will minimize the output ripple. The Power Save Mode can be disabled through the
MODE/DATA pin set to high. Both converters will then operate in fixed PWM mode. Power Save Mode
Enable/Disable applies to both converters.
Dynamic Voltage Positioning
This feature reduces the voltage under/overshoots at load steps from light to heavy load and vice versa. It is
activated in Power Save Mode operation. It provides more headroom for both the voltage drop at a load step,
and the voltage increase at a load throw-off. This improves load transient behavior.

At light loads, in which the converter operates in PFM Mode, the output voltage is regulated typically 1% higher
than the nominal value. In case of a load transient from light load to heavy load, the output voltage drops until it
reaches the skip comparator low threshold set to –2% below the nominal value and enters PWM mode. During a
load throw off from heavy load to light load, the voltage overshoot is also minimized due to active regulation
turning on the N-channel switch.

100% Duty Cycle Low Dropout Operation
The converters offer a low input-to-output voltage difference while still maintaining operation with the use of the
100% duty cycle mode. In this mode the P-channel switch is constantly turned on. This is particularly useful in
battery-powered applications to achieve longest operation time by taking full advantage of the whole battery
voltage range. The minimum input voltage to maintain regulation depends on the load current and output voltage,
and can be calculated as:
Vin min + Vout max ) Iout max
ǒRDSonmax ) R LǓ
(3)
with:
Ioutmax = maximum output current plus inductor ripple current
RDSonmax = maximum P-channel switch RDSon.
RL = DC resistance of the inductor
Voutmax = nominal output voltage plus maximum output voltage tolerance

With decreasing load current, the device automatically switches into pulse skipping operation in which the power
stage operates intermittently based on load demand. By running cycles periodically the switching losses are
minimized and the device runs with a minimum quiescent current, maintaining high efficiency.
Under-Voltage Lockout
The under-voltage lockout circuit prevents the device from malfunctioning at low input voltages, and from
excessive discharge of the battery, and disables the converters. The under-voltage lockout threshold is typically
1.5V; maximum of 2.35V. In case the default register values are overwritten by the Interface, the new values in
the registers REG_DEF_1_High, REG_DEF_1_Low and REG_DEF_2 remain valid as long the supply voltage
does not fall below the under-voltage lockout threshold, independent of whether the converters are disabled.
MODE SELECTION
The MODE/DATA pin allows mode selection between forced PWM Mode and Power Save Mode for both
converters. Furthermore, this pin is a multipurpose pin and provides (besides Mode selection) a one-pin interface
to receive serial data from a host to set the output voltage. This is described in the EasyScale™ Interface
section.
Connecting this pin to GND enables the automatic PWM and power save mode operation. The converters
operates in fixed-frequency PWM mode at moderate-to-heavy loads, and in the PFM mode during light loads,
maintaining high efficiency over a wide load current range.
Pulling the MODE/DATA pin high forces both converters to operate constantly in the PWM mode, even at light
load currents. The advantage is that the converters operate with a fixed frequency, allowing simple filtering of the
switching frequency for noise-sensitive applications. In this mode, the efficiency is lower compared to the power
save mode during light loads. For additional flexibility, it is possible to switch from power save mode to forced
PWM mode during operation. This allows efficient power management by adjusting the operation of the converter
to the specific system requirements.
In case the operation mode is changed from forced PWM mode (MODE/DATA = high) to Power Save Mode
Enable (MODE/DATA = 0), the Power Save Mode is enabled after a delay time of ttimeout , which is max. 520ms.
The forced PWM Mode operation is enabled immediately with Pin MODE/DATA set to 1.
ENABLE
The device has a separate EN pin for each converter to start up each converter independently. If EN1 and EN2
are set to high, the corresponding converter starts up with soft start as previously described.
Pulling EN1 and EN2 pin low forces the device into shutdown, with a shutdown quiescent current of typically
1.2mA. In this mode, the P and N-Channel MOSFETs are turned-off and the entire internal control circuitry is
switched-off. For proper operation the EN1 and EN2 pins must be terminated and must not be left floating.
DEF_1 PIN FUNCTION
The DEF_1 pin is dedicated to converter 1 and makes the output voltage selection very flexible to support
dynamic voltage management.
Depending on the device version, this pin works either as:
1. Analog input for adjustable output voltage setting (TPS62400):
– Connecting an external resistor network to this pin adjusts the default output voltage to any value starting
from 0.6V to VIN
2. Digital input for fixed default output voltage selection (TPS62401):
– In case this pin is tied to low level, the output voltage is set according to the value in register
REG_DEF_1_Low. The default voltage will be 1.575V. If tied to high level, the output voltage is set
according to the value in register REG_DEF_1_High. The default value in this case is 1.1V. Depending
on the level of Pin DEF_1, it selects between the two registers REG_DEF_1_Low and REG_DEF_1_High
for output voltage setting. Each register content (and therefore output voltage) can be changed
individually via the EasyScale™ interface. This makes the device very flexible in terms of output voltage
setting; see Table 4.

180° OUT-OF-PHASE OPERATION
In PWM Mode the converters operate with a 180° turn-on phase shift of the PMOS (high side) transistors. This
prevents the high-side switches of both converters from being turned on simultaneously, and therefore smooths
the input current. This feature reduces the surge current drawn from the supply.
SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Both outputs are short-circuit protected with maximum output current = ILIMF(P-MOS and N-MOS). Once the
PMOS switch reaches its current limit, it is turned off and the NMOS switch is turned on. The PMOS only turns
on again, once the current in the NMOS decreases below the NMOS current limit.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
As soon as the junction temperature, TJ, exceeds 150°C (typical) the device goes into thermal shutdown. In this
mode, the P and N-Channel MOSFETs are turned-off. The device continues its operation when the junction
temperature falls below the thermal shutdown hysteresis.
EasyScale™: One-Pin Serial Interface for Dynamic Output Voltage Adjustment
General
EasyScale is a simple but very flexible one pin interface to configure the output voltage of both DC/DC
converters. The interface is based on a master – slave structure, where the master is typically a microcontroller
or application processor. Figure 35 and Table 3. give an overview of the protocol. The protocol consists of a
device specific address byte and a data byte. The device specific address byte is fixed to 4E hex. The data byte
consists of five bits for information, two address bits, and the RFA bit. RFA bit set to high indicates the Request
For Acknowledge condition. The Acknowledge condition is only applied if the protocol was received correctly.
The advantage of EasyScale™ compared to other one pin interfaces is that its bit detection is in a large extent
independent from the bit transmission rate. It can automatically detect bit rates between 1.7kBit/sec and up to
160kBit/sec. Furthermore, the interface is shared with the Mode/Data Pin and requires no additional pin.
Protocol
All bits are transmitted MSB first and LSB last. Figure 36 shows the protocol without acknowledge request (bit
RFA = 0), Figure 37 with acknowledge (bit RFA = 1) request.
Prior to both bytes, device address byte and data byte, a start condition needs to be applied. For this, the
Mode/Data pin need be pulled high for at least tStart before the bit transmission starts with the falling edge. In
case the Mode/Data line was already at high level (forced PWM Mode selection), no start condition need be
applied prior the device address byte.
The transmission of each byte needs to be closed with an End Of Stream condition for at least TEOS.
Addressable Registers
Three registers with a data content of 5 bits can be addressed. With 5 bit data content, 32 different values for
each register are available. Table 1 shows the addressable registers to set the output voltage when DEF_1 pin
works as digital input. In this case, converter 1 has a related register for each DEF_1 Pin condition, and one
register for converter 2. With a high/low condition on pin DEF_1 (TPS62401) either the content of register
REG_DEF_1_high/REG_DEF1_low is selected. The output voltage of converter 1 is set according to the values
in Table 4.
Table 2 shows the addressable registers if DEF_1 pin acts as analog input with external resistors connected. In
this case one register is available for each converter. The output voltage of converter 1 is set according to the
values in Table 5. For converter 2, the available voltages are shown in Table 6. To generate these output
voltages a precise internal resistor divider network is used, making external resistors unnecessary (less board
space), and provides higher output voltage accuracy. The Interface is activated if at least one of the converters is
enabled (EN1 or EN2 is high). After the startup-time tStart (170ms) the interface is ready for data reception.

Bit Decoding
The bit detection is based on a PWM scheme, where the criterion is the relation between tLOW and tHIGH. It can
be simplified to:
High Bit: tHigh > tLow, but with tHigh at least 2x tLow, see Figure 34
Low Bit: tLow> tHigh, but with tLow at least 2x tHigh, see Figure 34
The bit detection starts with a falling edge on the MODE/DATA pin and ends with the next falling edge.
Depending on the relation between tLow and tHigh a 0 or 1 is detected.
Acknowledge
The Acknowledge condition is only applied if:
• Acknowledge is requested by a set RFA bit
• The transmitted device address matches with the device address of the device
• 16 bits were received correctly
In this case, the device turns on the internal ACKN-MOSFET and pulls the MODE/DATA pin low for the time
tACKN, which is 520ms maximum . The Acknowledge condition is valid after an internal delay time tvalACK. This
means the internal ACKN-MOSFET is turned on after tvalACK, when the last falling edge of the protocol was
detected. The master controller keeps the line low during this time.
The master device can detect the acknowledge condition with its input by releasing the MODE/DATA pin after
tvalACK and read back a 0.
In case of an invalid device address, or not-correctly-received protocol, no-acknowledge condition is applied;
thus, the internal MOSFET is not turned on and the external pullup resistor pulls MODE/DATA pin high after
tvalACK. The MODE/DATA pin can be used again after the acknowledge condition ends.
NOTE
The acknowledge condition may only be requested in case the master device has an open
drain output.
In case of a push-pull output stage it is recommended to use a series resistor in the MODE/DATA line to limit the
current to 500 mA in case of an accidentally requested acknowledge, to protect the internal ACKN-MOSFET.
MODE Selection
Because the MODE/DATA pin is used for two functions, interface and a MODE selection, the device needs to
determine when it has to decode the bit stream or to change the operation mode.

The device enters forced PWM mode operation immediately whenever the MODE/DATA pin turns to high level.
The device also stays in forced PWM mode during the entire protocol reception time.
With a falling edge on the MODE/DATA pin the device starts bit decoding. If the MODE/DATA pin stays low for at
least ttimeout, the device gets an internal timeout and Power Save Mode operation is enabled.
A protocol sent within this time is ignored because the falling edge for the Mode change is first interpreted as
start of the first bit. In this case it is recommended to send the protocol first, and then change at the end of the
protocol to Power Save Mode.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
OUTPUT VOLTAGE SETTING
Converter1 Adjustable Default Output Voltage Setting: TPS62400
The output voltage can be calculated to:
V OUT + VREF
R
1 ) 11
R 12
ǒ
Ǔ
with an internal reference voltage VREF typical 0.6V
(4)
To keep the operating current to a minimum, it is recommended to select R12 within a range of 180kΩ to 360kΩ.
The sum of R12 and R11 should not exceed ~1MΩ. For higher output voltages than 3.3V, it is recommended to
choose lower values than 180kΩ for R12. Route the DEF_1 line away from noise sources, such as the inductor
or the SW1 line. The FB1 line needs to be directly connected to the output capacitor. A feed-forward capacitor is
not necessary.
Converter1 Fixed Default Output Voltage Setting (TPS62401, TPS62402, TPS62403, TPS62404).
The output voltage VOUT1 is selected with DEF_1 pin.
Pin DEF_1 = low:
TPS62401, TPS62403 = 1.575V
TPS62402, TPS62404 = 1.2V
Pin DEF_1 = high:
TS62401, TPS62403 = 1.1V
T62402: = 1.8V
T62404: = 1.9V
Converter 2 Adjustable Default Output Voltage Setting TPS62400:
The output voltage of converter 2 can be set by an external resistor network. For converter 2 the same
recommendations apply as for converter1. In addition to that, a 33pF feed-forward Capacitor Cff2 for good load
transient response should be used. The output voltage can be calculated to:
V OUT + VREF
R
1 ) 21

OUTPUT FILTER DESIGN (INDUCTOR AND OUTPUT CAPACITOR)
The converters are designed to operate with a minimum inductance of 1.75mH and minimum capacitance of 6mF.
The device is optimized to operate with inductors of 2.2mH to 4.7mH and output capacitors of 10mF to 22mF.
Inductor selection
The selected inductor has to be rated for its DC resistance and saturation current. The DC resistance of the
inductor will influence directly the efficiency of the converter. Therefore an inductor with lowest DC resistance
should be selected for highest efficiency.
Equation 6 calculates the maximum inductor current under static load conditions. The saturation current of the
inductor should be rated higher than the maximum inductor current as calculated with Equation 7. This is
recommended because during heavy load transient the inductor current rises above the calculated value.

(7)
with:
f = Switching Frequency (2.25MHz typical)
L = Inductor Value
ΔIL = Peak-to-Peak inductor ripple current
ILmax = Maximum Inductor current
The highest inductor current occurs at maximum Vin.
Open core inductors have a soft saturation characteristic and they can usually handle higher inductor currents
versus a comparable shielded inductor.
A more conservative approach is to select the inductor current rating just for the maximum switch current of the
corresponding converter. Take into consideration that the core material from inductor to inductor differs and this
difference has an impact on the efficiency.
Refer to Table 7 and the typical application circuit examples for possible inductors.

Output Capacitor Selection
The advanced fast response voltage mode control scheme of the converters allows the use of tiny ceramic
capacitors with a typical value of 10mF to 22mF, without having large output voltage under and overshoots during
heavy load transients. Ceramic capacitors with low ESR values results in lowest output voltage ripple, and are
therefore recommended. The output capacitor requires either X7R or X5R dielectric. Y5V and Z5U dielectric
capacitors are not recommended due to their wide variation in capacitance.
If ceramic output capacitors are used, the capacitor RMS ripple current rating always meets the application
requirements. The RMS ripple current is calculated as:
1 * Vout
1
Vin
I RMSCout + Vout
ƒ
L

Ǹ3
(8)
At nominal load current the inductive converters operate in PWM mode and the overall output voltage ripple is
the sum of the voltage spike caused by the output capacitor ESR, plus the voltage ripple caused by charging and
discharging the output capacitor:
DVout + Vout
1 * Vout
Vin
L
ƒ
ǒ8
1
Cout
ƒ
Ǔ
) ESR
(9)
Where the highest output voltage ripple occurs at the highest input voltage Vin.
At light load currents the converters operate in Power Save Mode and the output voltage ripple is dependent on
the output capacitor value. The output voltage ripple is set by the internal comparator delay and the external
capacitor. Higher output capacitors like 22mF values minimize the voltage ripple in PFM Mode and tighten DC
output accuracy in PFM Mode.
Input Capacitor Selection
Because of the nature of the buck converter having a pulsating input current, a low ESR input capacitor is
required to prevent large voltage transients that can cause misbehavior of the device or interference with other
circuits in the system. An input capacitor of 10mF is sufficient.
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design. Proper function of the device
demands careful attention to PCB layout. Care must be taken in board layout to get the specified performance. If
the layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show poor line and/or load regulation, stability issues as well
as EMI problems. It is critical to provide a low-inductance, impedance ground path. Therefore, use wide and
short traces for the main current paths as indicated in bold in Figure 48.
The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC pins VIN and GND, the inductor and output
capacitor as close as possible to the pins SW1 and GND.

SLVS681E – JUNE 2006 – REVISED APRIL 2010
Connect the GND Pin of the device to the PowerPAD of the PCB and use this Pad as a star point. For each
converter use a common Power GND node and a different node for the signal GND to minimize the effects of
ground noise. Connect these ground nodes together to the PowerPAD (star point) underneath the IC. Keep the
common path to the GND PIN, which returns the small signal components and the high current of the output
capacitors, as short as possible to avoid ground noise. The output voltage sense lines (FB 1, DEF_1, ADJ2)
should be connected right to the output capacitor and routed away from noisy components and traces (e.g., SW1
and SW2 lines). If the EasyScale™ interface is operated with high transmission rates, the MODE/DATA trace
must be routed away from the ADJ2 line to avoid capacitive coupling into the ADJ2 pin. A GND guard ring
between the MODE/DATA pin and ADJ2 pin avoids potential noise coupling.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements,
and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are
sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI 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 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. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
