LM22670/-Q1 42-V, 3-A SIMPLE SWITCHER®, Step-Down Voltage Regulator
With Features
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
•
The LM22670 switching regulator provides all of the
functions necessary to implement an efficient highvoltage step-down (buck) regulator using a minimum
of external components. This easy-to-use regulator
incorporates a 42-V N-channel MOSFET switch that
can provide up to 3 A of load current. Excellent line
and load regulation along with high efficiency (> 90%)
are featured. Voltage mode control offers short
minimum on-time, allowing the widest ratio between
input and output voltages. Internal loop compensation
means that the user is free from the tedious task of
calculating the loop compensation components. Fixed
5-V output and adjustable output voltage options are
available. The default switching frequency is set at
500 kHz, thus allowing for small external components
and good transient response. In addition, the
frequency can be adjusted over a range of 200 kHz
to 1 MHz with a single external resistor. The internal
oscillator can be synchronized to a system clock or to
the oscillator of another regulator. A precision enable
input allows simplification of regulator control and
system power sequencing. In shutdown mode the
regulator draws only 25 µA (typical). Built in soft-start
(500 µs, typical) saves external components. The
LM22670 device also has built-in thermal shutdown,
and current limiting to protect against accidental
overloads.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM22670 device incorporates a voltage mode constant frequency PWM architecture. In addition, input
voltage feedforward is used to stabilize the loop gain against variations in input voltage. This allows the loop
compensation to be optimized for transient performance. The power MOSFET, in conjunction with the diode,
produce a rectangular waveform at the switch pin, that swings from about zero volts to VIN. The inductor and
output capacitor average this waveform to become the regulator output voltage. By adjusting the duty cycle of
this waveform, the output voltage can be controlled. The error amplifier compares the output voltage with the
internal reference and adjusts the duty cycle to regulate the output at the desired value.
The internal loop compensation of the -ADJ option is optimized for outputs of 5 V and below. If an output voltage
of 5 V or greater is required, the -5.0 option can be used with an external voltage divider. The minimum output
voltage is equal to the reference voltage, that is, 1.285 V (typ).

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Precision Enable and UVLO
The precision enable input (EN) is used to control the regulator. The precision feature allows simple sequencing
of multiple power supplies with a resistor divider from another supply. Connecting this pin to ground or to a
voltage less than 1.6 V (typ) will turn off the regulator. The current drain from the input supply, in this state, is
25 µA (typ) at an input voltage of 12 V. The EN input has an internal pullup of about 6 µA. Therefore, this pin can
be left floating or be pulled to a voltage greater than 2.2 V (typ) to turn the regulator on. The hysteresis on this
input is about 0.6 V (typ) above the 1.6 V (typ) threshold. When driving the enable input, the voltage must never
exceed the 6 V absolute maximum specification for this pin.
Although an internal pullup is provided on the EN pin, it is a good practice to pull the input high when this feature
is not used, especially in noisy environments. This can most easily be done by connecting a resistor between
VIN and the EN pin. The resistor is required because the internal zener diode at the EN pin will conduct for
voltages above about 6 V. The current in this zener must be limited to less than 100 µA. A resistor of 470 kΩ will
limit the current to a safe value for input voltages as high as 42 V. Smaller values of resistors can be used at
lower input voltages.
The LM22670 device also incorporates an input undervoltage lock-out (UVLO) feature. This prevents the
regulator from turning on when the input voltage is not great enough to properly bias the internal circuitry. The
rising threshold is 4.3 V (typ) while the falling threshold is 3.9 V (typ). In some cases, these thresholds may be
too low to provide good system performance. The solution is to use the EN input as an external UVLO to disable
the part when the input voltage falls below a lower boundary. This is often used to prevent excessive battery
discharge or early turn-on during start up. This method is also recommended to prevent abnormal device
operation in applications where the input voltage falls below the minimum of 4.5 V. Figure 11 shows the
connections to implement this method of UVLO. Equation 1 and Equation 2 can be used to determine the correct
resistor values.

(2)
Where:
Voff is the input voltage where the regulator shuts off.
Von is the voltage where the regulator turns on.
Due to the 6 µA pullup, the current in the divider should be much larger than this. A value of 20 kΩ, for RENB is a
good first choice. Also, a zener diode may be needed between the EN pin and ground, in order to comply with
the absolute maximum ratings on this pin.

7.3.2 Soft-Start
The soft-start feature allows the regulator to gradually reach steady-state operation, thus reducing start-up
stresses. The internal soft-start feature brings the output voltage up in about 500 µs. This time is fixed and can
not be changed. Soft-start is reset any time the part is shut down or a thermal overload event occurs.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.3 Switching Frequency Adjustment and Synchronization
The LM22670 device will operate in three different modes, depending on the condition of the RT/SYNC pin. With
the RT/SYNC pin floating, the regulator will switch at the internally set frequency of 500 kHz (typ). With a resistor
in the range of 25 kΩ to 200 kΩ, connected from RT/SYNC to ground, the internal switching frequency can be
adjusted from 1 MHz to 200 kHz. Figure 12 shows the typical curve for switching frequency versus the external
resistance connected to the RT/SYNC pin. The accuracy of the switching frequency in this mode is slightly worse
than that of the internal oscillator; about ±25% is to be expected. Finally, an external clock can be applied to the
RT/SYNC pin to allow the regulator to synchronize to a system clock or another LM22670 device. The mode is
set during start up of the regulator. When the LM22670 device is enabled, or after VIN is applied, a weak pullup is
connected to the RT/SYNC pin and, after approximately 100 µs, the voltage on the pin is checked against a
threshold of about 0.8 V. With the RT/SYNC pin open, the voltage floats above this threshold and the mode is
set to run with the internal clock. With a frequency set resistor present, an internal reference holds the pin
voltage at 0.8 V; therefore, the resulting current sets the mode to allow the resistor to control the clock frequency.
If the external circuit forces the RT/SYNC pin to a voltage much greater or less than 0.8 V, the mode is set to
allow external synchronization. The mode is latched until either the EN or the input supply is cycled.
The choice of switching frequency is governed by several considerations. For example, lower frequencies may
be desirable to reduce switching losses or improve duty cycle limits. Higher frequencies, or a specific frequency,
may be desirable to avoid problems with EMI or reduce the physical size of external components. The flexibility
of increasing the switching frequency above 500 kHz can also be used to operate outside a critical signal
frequency band for a given application. Keep in mind that the values of inductors and output capacitors cannot
be reduced dramatically by operating above 500 kHz. This is true because the design of the internal loop
compensation restricts the range of these components.
Frequency synchronization requires some care. First, the external clock frequency must be greater than the
internal clock frequency and less than 1 MHz. The maximum internal switching frequency is ensured in the
Electrical Characteristics table.
NOTE
The frequency adjust feature and the synchronization feature cannot be used
simultaneously.
The synchronizing frequency must always be greater than the internal clock frequency. Secondly, the RT/SYNC
pin must see a valid high or low voltage during start up in order for the regulator to go into the synchronizing
mode. Also, the amplitude of the synchronizing pulses must comport with VSYNC levels found in the Electrical
Characteristics table. The regulator will synchronize on the rising edge of the external clock. If the external clock
is lost during normal operation, the regulator will revert to the 500 kHz (typ) internal clock.
If the frequency synchronization feature is used, current limit foldback is not operational (see Current Limit for
details).

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.4 Self-Synchronization
It is possible to synchronize multiple LM22670 regulators together to share the same switching frequency. This
can be done by tying the RT/SYNC pins together through a MOSFET and connecting a 1 kΩ resistor to ground
at each pin. Figure 13 shows this connection. The gate of the MOSFET should be connected to the regulator
with the highest output voltage. Also, the EN pins of both regulators should be tied to the common system
enable, in order to properly initialize both regulators. The operation is as follows: When the regulators are
enabled, the outputs are low and the MOSFET is off. The 1 kΩ resistors pull the RT/SYNC pins low, thus
enabling the synchronization mode. These resistors are small enough to pull the RT/SYNC pin low, rather than
activate the frequency adjust mode. Once the output voltage of one of the regulators is sufficient to turn on the
MOSFET, the two RT/SYNC pins are tied together and the regulators will run in synchronized mode. The two
regulators will be clocked at the same frequency but slightly phase shifted according to the minimum off-time of
the regulator with the fastest internal oscillator. The slight phase shift helps to reduce stress on the input
capacitors of the regulator. It is important to choose a MOSFET with a low gate threshold voltage so that the
MOSFET will be fully enhanced. Also, a MOSFET with low inter-electrode capacitance is required. The 2N7002
is a good choice.

7.3.5 Boot-Strap Supply
The LM22670 device incorporates a floating high-side gate driver to control the power MOSFET. The supply or
this driver is the external boot-strap capacitor connected between the BOOT pin and SW. A good quality 10 nF
ceramic capacitor must be connected to these pins with short, wide PCB traces. One reason the regulator
imposes a minimum off-time is to ensure that this capacitor recharges every switching cycle. A minimum load of
about 5 mA is required to fully recharge the boot-strap capacitor in the minimum off-time. Some of this load can
be provided by the output voltage divider, if used.
7.3.6 Internal Loop Compensation
The LM22670 device has internal loop compensation designed to provide a stable regulator over a wide range of
external power stage components.
The internal compensation of the -ADJ option is optimized for output voltages below 5 V. If an output voltage of
5 V or greater is needed, the -5.0 option with an external resistor divider can be used.
Ensuring stability of a design with a specific power stage (inductor and output capacitor) can be tricky. The
LM22670 stability can be verified using the WEBENCH Designer online circuit simulation tool. A quick start
spreadsheet can also be downloaded from the online product folder.
The complete transfer function for the regulator loop is found by combining the compensation and power stage
transfer functions. The LM22670 has internal type III loop compensation, as detailed in Figure 14. This is the
approximate "straight line" function from the FB pin to the input of the PWM modulator. The power stage transfer
function consists of a dc gain and a second order pole created by the inductor and output capacitor(s). Due to
the input voltage feedforward employed in the LM22670, the power stage dc gain is fixed at 20 dB. The second
order pole is characterized by its resonant frequency and its quality factor (Q). For a first pass design, the
product of inductance and output capacitance should conform to Equation 3.

Feature Description (continued)
Alternatively, this pole should be placed between 1.5 kHz and 15 kHz and is given by Equation 4.

The Q factor depends on the parasitic resistance of the power stage components and is not typically in the
control of the designer. Of course, loop compensation is only one consideration when selecting power stage
components (see Application and Implementation for more details).

In general, hand calculations or simulations can only aid in selecting good power stage components. Good
design practice dictates that load and line transient testing should be done to verify the stability of the application.
Also, Bode plot measurements should be made to determine stability margins. AN-1889 How to Measure the
Loop Transfer Function of Power Supplies (SNVA364) shows how to perform a loop transfer function
measurement with only an oscilloscope and function generator.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown Mode
The EN pin provides electrical ON and OFF control for the LM22670. When VEN is below 1.6 V, the device is in
shutdown mode. In this state, the current drain from the input supply is 25 µA (typ) at an input voltage of 12 V.
The EN input has an internal pullup of about 6 µA. The LM22670 also incorporates an input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) feature. This prevents the regulator from turning on when the input voltage is not great enough to
properly bias the internal circuitry. The rising threshold is 4.3 V (typ) while the falling threshold is 3.9 V (typ).
7.4.2 Active Mode
The LM22670 is in active mode when VEN is above the precision enable threshold and its input voltage is above
its UVLO level. The simplest way to enable the LM22670 is to connect the EN pin to VIN through a resistor. A
resistor of 470 kΩ will limit the current to a safe value for input voltages as high 42 V.
7.4.3 Current Limit
The LM22670 has current limiting to prevent the switch current from exceeding safe values during an accidental
overload on the output. This peak current limit is found in the Electrical Characteristics table under the heading of
ICL. The maximum load current that can be provided, before current limit is reached, is determined from
Equation 5.

Where:
L is the value of the power inductor.

SNVS584P – SEPTEMBER 2008 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2014
Device Functional Modes (continued)
When the LM22670 enters current limit, the output voltage will drop and the peak inductor current will be fixed at
ICL at the end of each cycle. The switching frequency will remain constant while the duty cycle drops. The load
current will not remain constant, but will depend on the severity of the overload and the output voltage.
For very severe overloads ("short-circuit"), the regulator changes to a low frequency current foldback mode of
operation. The frequency foldback is about 1/5 of the nominal switching frequency. This will occur when the
current limit trips before the minimum on-time has elapsed. This mode of operation is used to prevent inductor
current "run-away", and is associated with very low output voltages when in overload. Equation 6 can be used to
determine what level of output voltage will cause the part to change to low frequency current foldback.
(6)
Where:
Fsw is the normal switching frequency.
Vin is the maximum for the application.
If the overload drives the output voltage to less than or equal to Vx, the part will enter current foldback mode. If a
given application can drive the output voltage to ≤ Vx, during an overload, then a second criterion must be
checked. Equation 7 gives the maximum input voltage, when in this mode, before damage occurs.
(7)
Where:
Vsc is the value of output voltage during the overload.
fsw is the normal switching frequency.
NOTE
If the input voltage should exceed this value while in foldback mode, the regulator and/or
the diode may be damaged.
It is important to note that the voltages in these equations are measured at the inductor. Normal trace and wiring
resistance will cause the voltage at the inductor to be higher than that at a remote load. Therefore, even if the
load is shorted with zero volts across its terminals, the inductor will still see a finite voltage. It is this value that
should be used for Vx and Vsc in the calculations. In order to return from foldback mode, the load must be
reduced to a value much lower than that required to initiate foldback. This load "hysteresis" is a normal aspect of
any type of current limit foldback associated with voltage regulators.
If the frequency synchronization feature is used, the current limit frequency foldback is not operational, and the
system may not survive a hard short-circuit at the output.
The safe operating areas, when in short circuit mode, are shown in Figure 15 through Figure 17, for different
switching frequencies. Operating points below and to the right of the curve represent safe operation.
NOTE
Figure 15, Figure 16, and Figure 17 curves are not valid when the LM22670 is in
frequency synchronization mode.

7.4.4 Thermal Protection
Internal thermal-shutdown circuitry protects the LM22670 should the maximum junction temperature be
exceeded. This protection is activated at about 150°C, with the result that the regulator will shutdown until the
temperature drops below about 135°C.

7.4.5 Duty-Cycle Limits
Ideally the regulator would control the duty cycle over the full range of zero to one. However, due to inherent
delays in the circuitry, there are limits on both the maximum and minimum duty cycles that can be reliably
controlled. This in turn places limits on the maximum and minimum input and output voltages that can be
converted by the LM22670 device. A minimum on-time is imposed by the regulator in order to correctly measure
the switch current during a current limit event. A minimum off-time is imposed in order the re-charge the
bootstrap capacitor. The Equation 8 can be used to determine the approximate maximum input voltage for a
given output voltage.
(8)
Where:
Fsw is the switching frequency.
TON is the minimum on-time.
Both parameters are found in the Electrical Characteristics table.
If the frequency adjust feature is used, that value should be used for Fsw. Nominal values should be used. The
worst case is lowest output voltage, and highest switching frequency. If this input voltage is exceeded, the
regulator will skip cycles, effectively lowering the switching frequency. The consequences of this are higher
output voltage ripple and a degradation of the output voltage accuracy.
The second limitation is the maximum duty cycle before the output voltage will "dropout" of regulation. Equation 9
can be used to approximate the minimum input voltage before dropout occurs.
(9)
Where:
The values of TOFF and RDS(ON) are found in the Electrical Characteristics table.
The worst case here is highest switching frequency and highest load. In Equation 9, RL is the dc inductor
resistance. Of course, the lowest input voltage to the regulator must not be less than 4.5 V (typ).

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM22670 device is a step down dc-to-dc regulator. It is typically used to convert a higher dc voltage to a
lower dc voltage with a maximum output current of 3 A. Detailed Design Procedure can be used to select
components for the LM22670 device. Alternately, the WEBENCH® software may be used to generate complete
designs. When generating a design, the WEBENCH® software utilizes iterative design procedure and accesses
comprehensive databases of components. Go to WEBENCH Designer for more details. This section presents a
simplified discussion of the design process.
8.1.1 Output Voltage Divider Selection
For output voltages between about 1.285 V and 5 V, the -ADJ option should be used, with an appropriate voltage
divider as shown in Figure 18. Equation 10 can be used to calculate the resistor values of this divider.
(10)
A good value for RFBB is 1 kΩ. This will help to provide some of the minimum load current requirement and
reduce susceptibility to noise pick-up. The top of RFBT should be connected directly to the output capacitor or to
the load for remote sensing. If the divider is connected to the load, a local high-frequency bypass should be
provided at that location.
For output voltages of 5 V, the -5.0 option should be used. In this case no divider is needed and the FB pin is
connected to the output. The approximate values of the internal voltage divider are as follows: 7.38 kΩ from the
FB pin to the input of the error amplifier and 2.55 kΩ from there to ground.
Both the -ADJ and -5.0 options can be used for output voltages greater than 5 V, by using the correct output
divider. As mentioned in Internal Loop Compensation, the -5.0 option is optimized for output voltages of 5 V.
However, for output voltages greater than 5 V, this option may provide better loop bandwidth than the -ADJ
option, in some applications. If the -5.0 option is to be used at output voltages greater than 5 V, Equation 11
should be used to determine the resistor values in the output divider.
(11)
A value of RFBB of about 1 kΩ is a good first choice.

FB

Figure 18. Resistive Feedback Divider
A maximum value of 10 kΩ is recommended for the sum of RFBB and RFBT to maintain good output voltage
accuracy for the -ADJ option. A maximum of 2 kΩ is recommended for the -5.0 option. For the -5.0 option, the
total internal divider resistance is typically 9.93 kΩ.

SNVS584P – SEPTEMBER 2008 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2014
Application Information (continued)
In all cases the output voltage divider should be placed as close as possible to the FB pin of the LM22670,
because this is a high impedance input and is susceptible to noise pick-up.
8.1.2 Power Diode
A Schottky-type power diode is required for all LM22670 applications. Ultra-fast diodes are not recommended
and may result in damage to the IC due to reverse recovery current transients. The near ideal reverse recovery
characteristics and low forward voltage drop of Schottky diodes are particularly important for high input voltage
and low output voltage applications common to the LM22670. The reverse breakdown rating of the diode should
be selected for the maximum VIN, plus some safety margin. A good rule of thumb is to select a diode with a
reverse voltage rating of 1.3 times the maximum input voltage.
Select a diode with an average current rating at least equal to the maximum load current that will be seen in the
application.

8.2.1.2.2 Inductor
The inductor value is determined based on the load current, ripple current, and the minimum and maximum input
voltages. To keep the application in continuous conduction mode (CCM), the maximum ripple current, IRIPPLE,
should be less than twice the minimum load current. The general rule of keeping the inductor current peak-topeak ripple around 30% of the nominal output current is a good compromise between excessive output voltage
ripple and excessive component size and cost. Using this value of ripple current, the value of inductor, L, is
calculated using Equation 12.
(12)
Where:
Fsw is the switching frequency.
Vin should be taken at its maximum value, for the given application.
The formula in Equation 12 provides a guide to select the value of the inductor L; the nearest standard value will
then be used in the circuit.
Once the inductor is selected, the actual ripple current can be determined by Equation 13.
(13)
Increasing the inductance will generally slow down the transient response but reduce the output voltage ripple.
Reducing the inductance will generally improve the transient response but increase the output voltage ripple.
The inductor must be rated for the peak current, IPK, in a given application, to prevent saturation. During normal
loading conditions, the peak current is equal to the load current plus 1/2 of the inductor ripple current.
During an overload condition, as well as during certain load transients, the controller may trip current limit. In this
case the peak inductor current is given by ICL, found in the Electrical Characteristics table. Good design practice
requires that the inductor rating be adequate for this overload condition.
NOTE
If the inductor is not rated for the maximum expected current, it can saturate resulting in
damage to the LM22670 and/or the power diode.
8.2.1.2.3 Input Capacitor
The input capacitor selection is based on both input voltage ripple and RMS current. Good quality input
capacitors are necessary to limit the ripple voltage at the VIN pin while supplying most of the regulator current
during switch on-time. Low ESR ceramic capacitors are preferred. Larger values of input capacitance are
desirable to reduce voltage ripple and noise on the input supply. This noise may find its way into other circuitry,
sharing the same input supply, unless adequate bypassing is provided. A very approximate formula for
determining the input voltage ripple is shown in Equation 14.
(14)
Where:
Vri is the peak-to-peak ripple voltage at the switching frequency.
Another concern is the RMS current passing through this capacitor. Equation 15 determines an approximation to
this current.
(15)
The capacitor must be rated for at least this level of RMS current at the switching frequency.

SNVS584P – SEPTEMBER 2008 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2014
All ceramic capacitors have large voltage coefficients, in addition to normal tolerances and temperature
coefficients. To help mitigate these effects, multiple capacitors can be used in parallel to bring the minimum
capacitance up to the desired value. This may also help with RMS current constraints by sharing the current
among several capacitors. Many times it is desirable to use an electrolytic capacitor on the input, in parallel with
the ceramics. The moderate ESR of this capacitor can help to damp any ringing on the input supply caused by
long power leads. This method can also help to reduce voltage spikes that may exceed the maximum input
voltage rating of the LM22670.
It is good practice to include a high frequency bypass capacitor as close as possible to the LM22670 device. This
small case size, low ESR, ceramic capacitor should be connected directly to the VIN and GND pins with the
shortest possible PCB traces. Values in the range of 0.47 µF to 1 µF are appropriate. This capacitor helps to
provide a low impedance supply to sensitive internal circuitry. It also helps to suppress any fast noise spikes on
the input supply that may lead to increased EMI.
8.2.1.2.4 Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is responsible for filtering the output voltage and supplying load current during transients.
Capacitor selection depends on application conditions as well as ripple and transient requirements. Best
performance is achieved with a parallel combination of ceramic capacitors and a low ESR SP™ or POSCAP™
type. Very low ESR capacitors such as ceramics reduce the output ripple and noise spikes, while higher value
electrolytics or polymer provide large bulk capacitance to supply transients. Assuming very low ESR, Equation 16
determines an approximation to the output voltage ripple.
(16)
Typically, a total value of 100 µF or greater is recommended for output capacitance.
In applications with Vout less than 3.3 V, it is critical that low ESR output capacitors are selected. This will limit
potential output voltage overshoots as the input voltage falls below the device normal operating range.
If the switching frequency is set higher than 500 kHz, the capacitance value may not be reduced proportionally
due to stability requirements. The internal compensation is optimized for circuits with a 500 kHz switching
frequency. See Internal Loop Compensation for more details.
8.2.1.2.5 Boot-Strap Capacitor
The bootstrap capacitor between the BOOT pin and the SW pin supplies the gate current to turn on the Nchannel MOSFET. The recommended value of this capacitor is 10 nF and should be a good quality, low ESR
ceramic capacitor. In some cases it may be desirable to slow down the turn-on of the internal power MOSFET, in
order to reduce EMI. This can be done by placing a small resistor in series with the CBOOT capacitor. Resistors in
the range of 10 Ω to 50 Ω can be used. This technique should only be used when absolutely necessary, because
it will increase switching losses and, thereby reduce efficiency.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM22670 device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 4.5 V and 42 V. This
input supply should be well regulated and able to withstand maximum input current and maintain a stable
voltage. The resistance of the input supply rail should be low enough that an input current transient does not
cause a high enough drop at the LM22670 supply voltage that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and
system reset. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the LM22670, additional bulk
capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. The amount of bulk capacitance is not
critical, but a 47 μF or 100 μF electrolytic capacitor is a typical choice.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Board layout is critical for the proper operation of switching power supplies. First, the ground plane area must be
sufficient for thermal dissipation purposes. Second, appropriate guidelines must be followed to reduce the effects
of switching noise. Switch mode converters are very fast switching devices. In such cases, the rapid increase of
input current combined with the parasitic trace inductance generates unwanted L di/dt noise spikes. The
magnitude of this noise tends to increase as the output current increases. This noise may turn into
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and can also cause problems in device performance. Therefore, care must be
taken in layout to minimize the effect of this switching noise.
The most important layout rule is to keep the ac current loops as small as possible. Figure 22 shows the current
flow in a buck converter. The top schematic shows a dotted line which represents the current flow during the FET
switch on-state. The middle schematic shows the current flow during the FET switch off-state.
The bottom schematic shows the currents referred to as ac currents. These ac currents are the most critical
because they are changing in a very short time period. The dotted lines of the bottom schematic are the traces to
keep as short and wide as possible. This will also yield a small loop area reducing the loop inductance. To avoid
functional problems due to layout, review the PCB layout example. Best results are achieved if the placement of
the LM22670 device, the bypass capacitor, the Schottky diode, RFBB, RFBT, and the inductor are placed as shown
in the example. In the layout shown, R1 = RFBB and R2 = RFBT. It is also recommended to use 2 oz copper
boards or heavier to help thermal dissipation and to reduce the parasitic inductances of board traces. See AN1229 SIMPLE SWITCHER® PCB Layout Guidelines (SNVA054) for more information.

10.3 Thermal Considerations
The components with the highest power dissipation are the power diode and the power MOSFET internal to the
LM22670 regulator. The easiest method to determine the power dissipation within the LM22670 is to measure
the total conversion losses then subtract the power losses in the diode and inductor. The total conversion loss is
the difference between the input power and the output power. An approximation for the power diode loss is
shown in Equation 17.
(17)
Where:
VD is the diode voltage drop.
An approximation for the inductor power is shown in Equation 18.
(18)
Where:
RL is the dc resistance of the inductor.
The 1.1 factor is an approximation for the ac losses.
The regulator has an exposed thermal pad to aid power dissipation. Adding multiple vias under the device to the
ground plane will greatly reduce the regulator junction temperature. Selecting a diode with an exposed pad will
also aid the power dissipation of the diode. The most significant variables that affect the power dissipation of the
regulator are output current, input voltage and operating frequency. The power dissipated while operating near
the maximum output current and maximum input voltage can be appreciable. The junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance of the LM22670 will vary with the application. The most significant variables are the area of copper in
the PC board, the number of vias under the IC exposed pad and the amount of forced air cooling provided. A
large continuos ground plane on the top or bottom PCB layer will provide the most effective heat dissipation. The
integrity of the solder connection from the IC exposed pad to the PC board is critical. Excessive voids will greatly
diminish the thermal dissipation capacity. See AN-2020 Thermal Design By Insight, Not Hindsight (SNVA419) for
more information.

The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2)
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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves 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.
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and
services.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI 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 reproduced
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.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources 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.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s noncompliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
