DESCRIPTION
The TPS54331 is a 28-V, 3-A non-synchronous buck
converter that integrates a low RDS(on) high side
MOSFET. To increase efficiency at light loads, a
pulse skipping Eco-mode™ feature is automatically
activated. Furthermore, the 1 mA shutdown supply
current allows the device to be used in battery
powered applications. Current mode control with
internal slope compensation simplifies the external
compensation calculations and reduces component
count while allowing the use of ceramic output
capacitors. A resistor divider programs the hysteresis
of the input under-voltage lockout. An overvoltage
transient protection circuit limits voltage overshoots
during startup and transient conditions. A cycle by
cycle current limit scheme, frequency fold back and
thermal shutdown protect the device and the load in
the event of an overload condition. The TPS54331 is
available in an 8-pin SOIC package that has been
internally optimized to improve thermal performance.

OVERVIEW
The TPS54331 is a 28-V, 3-A, step-down (buck) converter with an integrated high-side n-channel MOSFET. To
improve performance during line and load transients, the device implements a constant frequency, current mode
control which reduces output capacitance and simplifies external frequency compensation design. The
TPS54331 has a pre-set switching frequency of 570kHz.
The TPS54331 needs a minimum input voltage of 3.5V to operate normally. The EN pin has an internal pull-up
current source that can be used to adjust the input voltage under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with two external
resistors. In addition, the pull-up current provides a default condition when the EN pin is floating for the device to
operate. The operating current is 110 mA typically when not switching and under no load. When the device is
disabled, the supply current is 1mA typically.
The integrated 80 mΩ high-side MOSFET allows for high efficiency power supply designs with continuous output
currents up to 3A.
The TPS54331 reduces the external component count by integrating the boot recharge diode. The bias voltage
for the integrated high-side MOSFET is supplied by an external capacitor on the BOOT to PH pin. The boot
capacitor voltage is monitored by an UVLO circuit and will turn the high-side MOSFET off when the voltage falls
below a preset threshold of 2.1V typically. The output voltage can be stepped down to as low as the reference
voltage.
By adding an external capacitor, the slow start time of the TPS54331 can be adjustable which enables flexible
output filter selection.
To improve the efficiency at light load conditions, the TPS54331 enters a special pulse skipping Eco-modeTM
when the peak inductor current drops below 160mA typically.
The frequency foldback reduces the switching frequency during startup and over current conditions to help
control the inductor current. The thermal shut down gives the additional protection under fault conditions.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
FIXED FREQUENCY PWM CONTROL
The TPS54331 uses a fixed frequency, peak current mode control. The internal switching frequency of the
TPS54331 is fixed at 570kHz.

ECO-MODETM
The TPS54331 is designed to operate in pulse skipping Eco-modeTM at light load currents to boost light load
efficiency. When the peak inductor current is lower than 160 mA typically, the COMP pin voltage falls to 0.5 V
typically and the device enters Eco-modeTM . When the device is in Eco-modeTM, the COMP pin voltage is
clamped at 0.5V internally which prevents the high side integrated MOSFET from switching. The peak inductor
current must rise above 160mA for the COMP pin voltage to rise above 0.5V and exit Eco-modeTM. Since the
integrated current comparator catches the peak inductor current only, the average load current entering
Eco-modeTM varies with the applications and external output filters.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE (Vref)
The voltage reference system produces a ±2% initial accuracy voltage reference (±3.5% over temperature) by
scaling the output of a temperature stable bandgap circuit. The typical voltage reference is designed at 0.8V.
BOOTSTRAP VOLTAGE (BOOT)
The TPS54331 has an integrated boot regulator and requires a 0.1 mF ceramic capacitor between the BOOT and
PH pin to provide the gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R
grade dielectric is recommended because of the stable characteristics over temperature and voltage. To improve
drop out, the TPS54331 is designed to operate at 100% duty cycle as long as the BOOT to PH pin voltage is
greater than 2.1 V typically.
ENABLE AND ADJUSTABLE INPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT (VIN UVLO)
The EN pin has an internal pull-up current source that provides the default condition of the TPS54331 operating
when the EN pin floats.
The TPS54331 is disabled when the VIN pin voltage falls below internal VIN UVLO threshold. It is recommended
to use an external VIN UVLO to add Hysteresis unless VIN is greater than (VOUT + 2 V). To adjust the VIN UVLO
with Hysteresis, use the external circuitry connected to the EN pin as shown in Figure 12. Once the EN pin
voltage exceeds 1.25 V, an additional 3 mA of hysteresis is added. Use Equation 1 and Equation 2 to calculate
the resistor values needed for the desired VIN UVLO threshold voltages. The VSTART is the input start threshold
voltage, the VSTOP is the input stop threshold voltage and the VEN is the enable threshold voltage of 1.25 V. The
VSTOP should always be greater than 3.5 V.

internally. The TPS54331 effectively uses the lower voltage of the internal voltage reference or the SS pin
voltage as the power supply’s reference voltage fed into the error amplifier and will regulate the output
accordingly. A capacitor (CSS) on the SS pin to ground implements a slow start time. The TPS54331 has an
internal pull-up current source of 2mA that charges the external slow start capacitor. The equation for the slow
start time (10% to 90%) is shown in Equation 3 . The Vref is 0.8 V and the ISS current is 2 mA.
CSS (nF ) ´ Vref (V )
TSS (ms ) =
ISS (mA )
(3)
The slow start time should be set between 1ms to 10 ms to ensure good start-up behavior. The slow start
capacitor should be no more than 27nF.
If during normal operation, the input voltage drops below the VIN UVLO threshold, or the EN pin is pulled below
1.25 V, or a thermal shutdown event occurs, the TPS54331 stops switching.
ERROR AMPLIFIER
The TPS54331 has a transconductance amplifier for the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares the
VSENSE voltage to the internal effective voltage reference presented at the input of the error amplifier. The
transconductance of the error amplifier is 92 mA/V during normal operation. Frequency compensation
components are connected between the COMP pin and ground.
SLOPE COMPENSATION
In order to prevent the sub-harmonic oscillations when operating the device at duty cycles greater than 50%, the
TPS54331 adds a built-in slope compensation which is a compensating ramp to the switch current signal.
CURRENT MODE COMPENSATION DESIGN
To simplify design efforts using the TPS54331, the typical designs for common applications are listed in Table 1.
For designs using ceramic output capacitors, proper derating of ceramic output capacitance is recommended
when doing the stability analysis. This is because the actual ceramic capacitance drops considerably from the
nominal value when the applied voltage increases. Advanced users may refer to the Step by Step Design
Procedure in the Application Information section for the detailed guidelines or use SwitcherPro™ Software tool
(http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/switcherpro.html).

OVERCURRENT PROTECTION AND FREQUENCY SHIFT
The TPS54331 implements current mode control that uses the COMP pin voltage to turn off the high-side
MOSFET on a cycle by cycle basis. Every cycle the switch current and the COMP pin voltage are compared;
when the peak inductor current intersects the COMP pin voltage, the high-side switch is turned off. During
overcurrent conditions that pull the output voltage low, the error amplifier responds by driving the COMP pin high,

TPS54331-Q1
SLVSAB5 – NOVEMBER 2010
www.ti.com
The TPS54331 provides robust protection during short circuits. There is potential for overcurrent runaway in the
output inductor during a short circuit at the output. The TPS54331 solves this issue by increasing the off time
during short circuit conditions by lowering the switching frequency. The switching frequency is divided by 8, 4, 2,
and 1 as the voltage ramps from 0 V to 0.8 V on VSENSE pin. The relationship between the switching frequency
and the VSENSE pin voltage is shown in Table 2.

0.4 V > VSENSE ≥ 0.2 V

OVERVOLTAGE TRANSIENT PROTECTION
The TPS54331 incorporates an overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) circuit to minimize output voltage
overshoot when recovering from output fault conditions or strong unload transients. The OVTP circuit includes an
overvoltage comparator to compare the VSENSE pin voltage and internal thresholds. When the VSENSE pin
voltage goes above 109% × Vref, the high-side MOSFET will be forced off. When the VSENSE pin voltage falls
below 107% × Vref, the high-side MOSFET will be enabled again.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The device implements an internal thermal shutdown to protect itself if the junction temperature exceeds 165°C.
The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop switching when the junction temperature exceeds the thermal
trip threshold. Once the die temperature decreases below 165°C, the device reinitiates the power up sequence.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE SET POINT
The output voltage of the TPS54331 is externally adjustable using a resistor divider network. In the application
circuit of Figure 13, this divider network is comprised of R5 and R6. The relationship of the output voltage to the
resistor divider is given by Equation 4 and Equation 5:
R5 ´ VREF
R6 =
VOUT - VREF
(4)
é R5 ù
VOUT = VREF ´ ê
+1ú
ë R6 û
(5)
Choose R5 to be approximately 10.0 kΩ. Slightly increasing or decreasing R5 can result in closer output voltage
matching when using standard value resistors. In this design, R4 = 10.2 kΩ and R = 3.24 kΩ, resulting in a 3.31
V output voltage. The zero ohm resistor R4 is provided as a convenient place to break the control loop for
stability testing.
INPUT CAPACITORS
The TPS54331 requires an input decoupling capacitor and depending on the application, a bulk input capacitor.
The typical recommended value for the decoupling capacitor is 10 mF. A high-quality ceramic type X5R or X7R is
recommended. The voltage rating should be greater than the maximum input voltage. A smaller value may be
used as long as all other requirements are met; however 10 mF has been shown to work well in a wide variety of
circuits. Additionally, some bulk capacitance may be needed, especially if the TPS54331 circuit is not located
within about 2 inches from the input voltage source. The value for this capacitor is not critical but should be rated
to handle the maximum input voltage including ripple voltage, and should filter the output so that input ripple
voltage is acceptable. For this design two 4.7 mF capacitors are used for the input decoupling capacitor. They are
X7R dielectric rated for 50 V. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) is approximately 2mΩ, and the current
rating is 3 A. Additionally, a small 0.01 mF capacitor is included for high frequency filtering.
This input ripple voltage can be approximated by Equation 6
IOUT(MAX) ´ 0.25
DVIN =
+ IOUT(MAX) ´ ESRMAX
CBULK ´ fSW
(
)
(6)
Where IOUT(MAX) is the maximum load current, fSW is the switching frequency, CBULK is the bulk capacitor value
and ESRMAX is the maximum series resistance of the bulk capacitor.
The maximum RMS ripple current also needs to be checked. For worst case conditions, this can be
approximated by Equation 7
IOUT(MAX)
ICIN =
2
(7)
In this case, the input ripple voltage would be 143 mV and the RMS ripple current would be 1.5 A. It is also
important to note that the actual input voltage ripple will be greatly affected by parasitics associated with the
layout and the output impedance of the voltage source. The actual input voltage ripple for this circuit is shown in
Design Parameters and is larger than the calculated value. This measured value is still below the specified input
limit of 300 mV. The maximum voltage across the input capacitors would be VIN max plus ΔVIN/2. The chosen
bulk and bypass capacitors are each rated for 50 V and the ripple current capacity is greater than 3 A, both
providing ample margin. It is very important that the maximum ratings for voltage and current are not exceeded
under any circumstance.
OUTPUT FILTER COMPONENTS
Two components need to be selected for the output filter, L1 and C2. Since the TPS54331 is an externally
compensated device, a wide range of filter component types and values can be supported.
Inductor Selection
To calculate the minimum value of the output inductor, use Equation 8

(VIN(MAX) - VOUT )
VOUT(MAX) ´
VIN(MAX) ´ KIND ´ IOUT ´ FSW
(8)
KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current.
In general, this value is at the discretion of the designer; however, the following guidelines may be used. For
designs using low ESR output capacitors such as ceramics, a value as high as KIND = 0.3 may be used. When
using higher ESR output capacitors, KIND = 0.2 yields better results.
For this design example, use KIND = 0.3 and the minimum inductor value is calculated to be 5.7mH. For this
design, a large value was chosen: 6.8 mH.
For the output filter inductor, it is important that the RMS current and saturation current ratings not be exceeded.
The RMS inductor current can be found from Equation 9

and the peak inductor current can be determined with Equation 10
IL(PK) = IOUT(MAX) +
VOUT ´
(VIN(MAX)
- VOUT
)
1.6 ´ VIN(MAX) ´ LOUT ´ FSW
(10)
For this design, the RMS inductor current is 3.01 A and the peak inductor current is 3.47 A. The chosen inductor
is a Sumida CDRH103-6R8 6.8 mH. It has a saturation current rating of 3.84 A and an RMS current rating of 3.60
A, meeting these requirements. Smaller or larger inductor values can be used depending on the amount of ripple
current the designer wishes to allow so long as the other design requirements are met. Larger value inductors
will have lower ac current and result in lower output voltage ripple, while smaller inductor values will increase ac
current and output voltage ripple. In general, inductor values for use with the TPS54331 are in the range of
6.8 mH to 47mH.
Capacitor Selection
The important design factors for the output capacitor are dc voltage rating, ripple current rating, and equivalent
series resistance (ESR). The dc voltage and ripple current ratings cannot be exceeded. The ESR is important
because along with the inductor current it determines the amount of output ripple voltage. The actual value of the
output capacitor is not critical, but some practical limits do exist. Consider the relationship between the desired
closed loop crossover frequency of the design and LC corner frequency of the output filter. In general, it is
desirable to keep the closed loop crossover frequency at less than 1/5 of the switching frequency. With high
switching frequencies such as the 570-kHz frequency of this design, internal circuit limitations of the TPS54331
limit the practical maximum crossover frequency to about 25 kHz. In general, the closed loop crossover
frequency should be higher than the corner frequency determined by the load impedance and the output
capacitor. This limits the minimum capacitor value for the output filter to:
CO _ min = 1 /(2 ´ p ´ RO ´ FCO _ max )
(11)
Where RO is the output load impedance (VO/IO) and fCO is the desired crossover frequency. For a desired
maximum crossover of 25 kHz the minimum value for the output capacitor is around 5.8mF. This may not satisfy
the output ripple voltage requirement. The output ripple voltage consists of two components; the voltage change
due to the charge and discharge of the output filter capacitance and the voltage change due to the ripple current
times the ESR of the output filter capacitor. The output ripple voltage can be estimated by:

The maximum ESR of the output capacitor can be determined from the amount of allowable output ripple as
specified in the initial design parameters. The contribution to the output ripple voltage due to ESR is the inductor
ripple current times the ESR of the output filter, so the maximum specified ESR as listed in the capacitor data

For this design example, two 47-mF ceramic output capacitors are chosen for C8 and C9. These are TDK
C3216X5R0J476MT, rated at 6.3 V with a maximum ESR of 2 mΩ and a ripple current rating in excess of 3 A.
The calculated total RMS ripple current is 161 mA ( 80.6 mA each) and the maximum total ESR required is 43
mΩ. These output capacitors exceed the requirements by a wide margin and will result in a reliable,
high-performance design. it is important to note that the actual capacitance in circuit may be less than the
catalog value when the output is operating at the desired output of 3.3 V The selected output capacitor must be
rated for a voltage greater than the desired output voltage plus ½ the ripple voltage. Any derating amount must
also be included. Other capacitor types work well with the TPS54331, depending on the needs of the application.
COMPENSATION COMPONENTS
The external compensation used with the TPS54331 allows for a wide range of output filter configurations. A
large range of capacitor values and types of dielectric are supported. The design example uses ceramic X5R
dielectric output capacitors, but other types are supported.
A Type II compensation scheme is recommended for the TPS54331. The compensation components are chosen
to set the desired closed loop cross over frequency and phase margin for output filter components. The type II
compensation has the following characteristics; a dc gain component, a low frequency pole, and a mid frequency
zero / pole pair.
The dc gain is determined by Equation 15:
Vggm ´ VREF
GDC =
VO
(15)
Where:
Vggm = 800
VREF = 0.8 V
The low-frequency pole is determined by Equation 16:
VPO = 1/ (2 ´ p ´ ROO ´ CZ )
(16)
The mid-frequency zero is determined by Equation 17:
FZ1 = 1/ (2 ´ p ´ R Z ´ CZ )
(17)
And, the mid-frequency pole is given by Equation 18:
FP1 = 1/ (2 ´ p ´ R Z ´ CP )
(18)
The first step is to choose the closed loop crossover frequency. In general, the closed-loop crossover frequency
should be less than 1/8 of the minimum operating frequency, but for the TPS54331it is recommended that the
maximum closed loop crossover frequency be not greater than 25 kHz. Next, the required gain and phase boost
of the crossover network needs to be calculated. By definition, the gain of the compensation network must be the
inverse of the gain of the modulator and output filter. For this design example, where the ESR zero is much
higher than the closed loop crossover frequency, the gain of the modulator and output filter can be approximated
by Equation 19:

Gain = - 20 log (2 ´ p ´ RSENSE ´ FCO ´ CO )
(19)
Where:
RSENSE = 1Ω/12
FCO = Closed-loop crossover frequency
CO = Output capacitance
The phase loss is given by Equation 20:
PL = a tan (2 ´ p ´ FCO ´ RESR ´ CO ) - a tan (2 ´ p ´ FCO ´ RO ´ CO )
(20)
Where:
RESR = Equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor
RO = VO/IO
The measured overall loop response for the circuit is given in Figure 20. Note that the actual closed loop
crossover frequency is higher than intended at about 25 kHz. This is primarily due to variation in the actual
values of the output filter components and tolerance variation of the internal feed-forward gain circuitry. Overall
the design has greater than 60 degrees of phase margin and will be completely stable over all combinations of
line and load variability.
Now that the phase loss is known the required amount of phase boost to meet the phase margin requirement
can be determined. The required phase boost is given by Equation 21:
PB = (PM - 90 deg ) - PL
(21)
Where PM = the desired phase margin.
A zero / pole pair of the compensation network will be placed symmetrically around the intended closed loop
frequency to provide maximum phase boost at the crossover point. The amount of separation can be determined
by Equation 22 and the resultant zero and pole frequencies are given by Equation 23 and Equation 24

The low-frequency pole is set so that the gain at the crossover frequency is equal to the inverse of the gain of the
modulator and output filter. Due to the relationships established by the pole and zero relationships, the value of
RZ can be derived directly by Equation 25 :
2 × p × FCO × VO × CO × ROA
RZ =

For this design, the two 47-mF output capacitors are used. For ceramic capacitors, the actual output capacitance
is less than the rated value when the capacitors have a dc bias voltage applied. This is the case in a dc/dc
converter. The actual output capacitance may be as low as 54 mF. The combined ESR is approximately .001 Ω.
Using Equation 19 and Equation 20, the output stage gain and phase loss are equivalent as:
Gain = –2.26 dB
and
PL - –83.52 degrees
For 70 degrees of phase margin, Equation 21 requires 63.52 degrees of phase boost.

BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR
Every TPS54331 design requires a bootstrap capacitor, C4. The bootstrap capacitor must be 0.1 mF. The
bootstrap capacitor is located between the PH pins and BOOT pin. The bootstrap capacitor should be a
high-quality ceramic type with X7R or X5R grade dielectric for temperature stability.
CATCH DIODE
The TPS54331 is designed to operate using an external catch diode between PH and GND. The selected diode
must meet the absolute maximum ratings for the application: Reverse voltage must be higher than the maximum
voltage at the PH pin, which is VINMAX + 0.5 V. Peak current must be greater than IOUTMAX plus on half the
peak to peak inductor current. Forward voltage drop should be small for higher efficiencies. It is important to note
that the catch diode conduction time is typically longer than the high-side FET on time, so attention paid to diode
parameters can make a marked improvement in overall efficiency. Additionally, check that the device chosen is
capable of dissipating the power losses. For this design, a Diodes, Inc. B340A is chosen, with a reverse voltage
of 40 V, forward current of 3 A, and a forward voltage drop of 0.5 V.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE LIMITATIONS
Due to the internal design of the TPS54331, there are both upper and lower output voltage limits for any given
input voltage. The upper limit of the output voltage set point is constrained by the maximum duty cycle of 91%
and is given by Equation 31:
VOmax = 0.91 ×
((V
IN min
)
- IO max × RDS(on) max + VD
)-
(IO max
× RL ) - VD
(31)
Where:
VIN min = Minimum input voltage
IO max = Maximum load current
VD = Catch diode forward voltage
RL = Output inductor series resistance
The equation assumes maximum on resistance for the internal high-side FET.
The lower limit is constrained by the minimum controllable on time which may be as high as 130 ns. The
approximate minimum output voltage for a given input voltage and minimum load current is given by Equation 32:
VOmin = 0.089 ×
((V
IN max
)
- IO min × RDS(on) min + VD
)-
(IO min
× RL ) - VD
(32)
Where:
VIN max = Maximum input voltage
IO min = Minimum load current
VD = Catch diode forward voltage
RL = Output inductor series resistance
This equation assumes nominal on-resistance for the high-side FET and accounts for worst case variation of
operating frequency set point. Any design operating near the operational limits of the device should be carefully
checked to assure proper functionality.
POWER DISSIPATION ESTIMATE
The following formulas show how to estimate the device power dissipation under continuous conduction mode
operations. They should not be used if the device is working in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) or
pulse skipping Eco-modeTM.
The device power dissipation includes:
1) Conduction loss: Pcon = Iout2 x RDS(on) x VOUT/VIN
2) Switching loss: Psw = 0.5 x 10-9 x VIN2 x IOUT x Fsw
3) Gate charge loss: Pgc = 22.8 x 10-9 x Fsw
4) Quiescent current loss: Pq = 0.11 x 10-3 x VIN
Where:
IOUT Is the output current (A).
RDS(on) is the on-resistance of the high-side MOSFET (Ω).
VOUT is the output voltage (V).
VIN is the input voltage (V).
Fsw is the switching frequency (Hz).
So
Ptot = Pcon + Psw + Pgc + Pq
For given TA , TJ = TA + Rth x Ptot.
For given TJMAX = 150°C, TAMAX = TJMAX– Rth x Ptot.

PCB LAYOUT
The VIN pin should be bypassed to ground with a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor. Care should be taken to
minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connections, the VIN pin, and the anode of the catch
diode. The typical recommended bypass capacitance is 10-mF ceramic with a X5R or X7R dielectric and the
optimum placement is closest to the VIN pins and the source of the anode of the catch diode. See Figure 14 for
a PCB layout example. The GND D pin should be tied to the PCB ground plane at the pin of the IC. The source
of the low-side MOSFET should be connected directly to the top side PCB ground area used to tie together the
ground sides of the input and output capacitors as well as the anode of the catch diode. The PH pin should be
routed to the cathode of the catch diode and to the output inductor. Since the PH connection is the switching
node, the catch diode and output inductor should be located very close to the PH pins, and the area of the PCB
conductor minimized to prevent excessive capacitive coupling. For operation at full rated load, the top side
ground area must provide adequate heat dissipating area. The TPS54331 uses a fused lead frame so that the
GND pin acts as a conductive path for heat dissipation from the die. Many applications have larger areas of
internal or back side ground plane available, and the top side ground area can be connected to these areas
using multiple vias under or adjacent to the device to help dissipate heat. The additional external components
can be placed approximately as shown. It may be possible to obtain acceptable performance with alternate
layout schemes, however this layout has been shown to produce good results and is intended as a guideline.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) CONSIDERATIONS
As EMI becomes a rising concern in more and more applications, the internal design of the TPS54331 takes
measures to reduce the EMI. The high-side MOSFET gate drive is designed to reduce the PH pin voltage
ringing. The internal IC rails are isolated to decrease the noise sensitivity. A package bond wire scheme is used
to lower the parasitics effects.
To achieve the best EMI performance, external component selection and board layout are equally important.
Follow the Step by Step Design Procedure above to prevent potential EMI issues.

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)

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 JESD46C and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48B. 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 which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components which
have not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of such
components to meet such requirements.
