•
•
The LMZM23600 integrated-inductor module is
specifically designed for space-constrained industrial
applications and is available in fixed output voltage
options of 5-V and 3.3-V and an adjustable (ADJ)
output voltage option with 2.5-V to 15-V range. The
LMZM23600 supports an input voltage range of 4-V
to 36-V and can deliver up to 500-mA of output
current. This power module is extremely easy to use,
requiring only 2 external components for a 5-V or 3.3V output design. All aspects of the LMZM23600 are
optimized for performance driven and low EMI
industrial applications with space-constrained needs.
An open-drain, Power-Good output provides a true
indication of the system status and negates the
requirement for an additional supervisory component,
saving cost and board space. Seamless transition
between PWM and PFM modes along with a no-load
supply current of only 30 µA ensures high efficiency
and superior transient response for the entire loadcurrent range.

MODE/SYNC
I
This is a multifunction mode control input which is tolerant of voltages up to the input voltage.
With this input tied LOW, the device is in Auto PFM mode with automatic transition between PFM
and PWM with diode emulation at light load. This mode is recommended when the application
requires high efficiency at light load.
With this input tied HIGH, the device is in forced PWM mode. The device switches at the internal
clock frequency. This mode is recommended when the application requires constant switching
frequency across the entire load current.
With a valid synchronization signal at this pin, the device switches in forced PWM mode at the
external clock frequency and synchronized with it at the rising edge of the clock.
Do not float this pin.

8.1 Overview
The LMZM23600 is a 4-V to 36-V wide-input voltage range, low quiescent current, high-performance DC-DC
module designed specifically for space constrained industrial applications. The device is available in an
adjustable output voltage option with 2.5-V to 15-V output range, as well as fixed 5-V and 3.3-V output options.
The high level of integration and innovative packaging technology utilized in this nano module makes it possible
to design a 5-V or 3.3-V 0.5-A switching converter solution with only an input capacitor, an output capacitor, and
27 mm² of available board space.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Control Scheme
The LMZM23600 nano module utilizes peak-current-mode-control architecture. This enables the use of wide
range of input voltages while maintaining constant switching frequency and good input and output transient
response. The device can be used with 5-V, 12-V, or 24-V typical industrial input voltage rail. The short minimum
on- and off-times ensure constant frequency regulation over a wide range of input to output voltage conversion
ratios. The adjustable (ADJ) output voltage option operates at 1000-kHz switching frequency. The minimum onand off- times allow for a duty factor window of 5% to 91% at 1000-kHz switching frequency. If the input voltage
exceeds approximately 28 V on the ADJ version, the frequency is smoothly reduced from 1000 kHz as a function
of input voltage. The switching frequency reduction allows output voltage regulation and the current mode control
to operate with a duty factor below 5%. The fixed 5-V and 3.3-V output options operate at 750 kHz nominal
switching frequency and the frequency fold back at high input voltage is not active or needed.

Feature Description (continued)
The control architecture also uses frequency foldback at low input voltage in order to achieve low dropout
voltage, maintaining output regulation as the input voltage falls close to output voltage. The frequency foldback at
low input voltage is active for the ADJ as well as the 5-V and 3.3-V output options. The reduction in frequency is
smooth and continuous and is activated as the off-time approaches the minimum value. Under these conditions,
the LMZM23600 device operates much like a constant off-time converter allowing the maximum duty cycle to
reach 97%. This feature allows output voltage regulation with very low dropout.
The LMZM23600 features exceptional conversion efficiency at light load. As the load current is reduced, the
LMZM23600 transitions to light-load mode if the MODE/SYNC terminal is pulled low. In light-load mode the
device uses diode emulation to reduce the RMS inductor current and the switching frequency is reduced. The
fixed voltage versions (3.3-V and 5-V) do not need an external voltage divider connected to FB, which results in
saving two components and lower standby current when the load is in standby. As a result, the consumed supply
current is only 21 µA (typical) with 24-V to 3.3-V conversion and 24 µA (typical) with 24-V to 5-V conversion,
while the output is regulated with no load.
The LMZM23600 features an internally programmed soft-start time. The soft-start time is fixed internally at about
4 ms and is achieved by ramping the internal reference. The device starts up properly even if there is a voltage
present on output before the activation of the LMZM23600. In such cases, there is no switching until the output
voltage value programmed by the ramping reference voltage is above the pre-biased output value. Once the prebiased voltage level is reached by the reference ramp, the switching starts, and the output ramps up smoothly
from the pre-biased value up to the final output voltage.
8.3.3 Enable and External UVLO Function
Some applications may require a precision enable or custom input voltage lock-out (UVLO) functionality. Setting
up external UVLO based on the application needs would prevent the converter from trying to regulate the output
voltage until after the input voltage has reached a desired minimum level. Such function can be used to lower the
current demand from the input supply as the supply is still starting up.
The LMZM23600 features a precision enable (EN) input terminal. The EN input logic has two internal thresholds.
The first rising threshold is at 0.9V typical. Its purpose is to wake up the internal VCC regulator to bias the
internal circuitry. The EN rising threshold to start switching is 1.8V (typical) with 0.5V (typical) hysteresis. A
voltage divider from VIN to EN can be used to set the VIN voltage at which the regulator starts the voltage
conversion. The EN terminal is rated for up to the input voltage and can be connected directly to VIN for an
always-on operation. Pulling the EN pin below 0.4 V puts the LMZM23600 in shutdown mode. In shutdown mode
and 12-V input voltage the LMZM23600 only consumes 1.8 µA (typical) of input current.
8.3.4 Current Limit
The LMZM23600 devices features two current limits inside the IC. A coarse high side or peak current limit is
provided to protect against faults. The high-side current limit limits the duration of the on-period of the high-side
power MOSFET during a given clock cycle. A precision cycle-by-cycle valley current limit prevents excessive
average output current. A new switching cycle is not initiated until the inductor current drops below the valley
current limit.

Figure 1 shows the response of the LMZM23600 device to a short circuit on the output: The peak current limit
prevents excessive peak current while the valley current limit prevents excessive average inductor current. After
a small number of cycles, hiccup mode is activated.
8.3.5 Hiccup Mode
In order to prevent excessive heating and power consumption under sustained output short circuit conditions, a
hiccup mode operation is included in the control logic. If an over current condition is maintained on the output,
the LMZM23600 device shuts off both power MOSFETs and waits for a hiccup interval, tW, of approximately 8
ms. After the wait period, the device restarts operation beginning with a soft-start time interval.

Figure 2. Hiccup Operation
Figure 2 shows hiccup mode operation: The LMZM23600 attempts to restart periodically, following a hiccup wait
interval. If the fault at the output is still present, another hiccup wait interval is initiated, followed by another
restart attempt. This sequence continues until the output short circuit is removed. When the output short circuit is
removed, the output ramps up during the next restart sequence.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.6 Power Good (PGOOD) Function
The LMZM23600 has a built-in power-good signal presented at the PGOOD terminal. This signal indicates
whether the output voltage is within the regulation window. The PGOOD terminal is an open-drain output that
requires a pullup resistor to a nominal voltage source of 15 V or less. The absolute maximum PGOOD sink
current is 8 mA. Typically, TI recommends a pullup resistor value between 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ. Refer to Electrical
Characteristics for the power-good thresholds and hysteresis for undervoltage and overvoltage detection.
8.3.7 MODE/SYNC Function
8.3.7.1 Forced PWM Mode
This feature may be activated and deactivated while the part is regulating without removing the load. This feature
activates and deactivates gradually, preventing perturbation of output voltage. When in FPWM mode, a limited
reverse current is allowed through the inductor allowing power to pass from the regulators output to its input.
8.3.7.2 Auto PFM Mode
If the MODE/SYNC terminal is held low the LMZM23600 device enables automatic power-saving-mode transition
at light load. With high load the LMZM23600 regulates the output using normal PWM operation. When the load is
light, the control logic smoothly transitions to PFM operation and diode emulation. In this mode, the high side
MOSFET is turned on for one or more pulses to provide energy to the load. The on-time of the high side in this
mode depends on the input voltage level and a pre-programmed internal IPEAK-MIN current level. The higher the
input voltage is, the shorter the on-time is. At this point, there is a longer off-time during which the output would
still be in the regulation window because the load is light, and the output is not getting discharged as quickly. The
duration of the off-time depends on the load current level. Lighter load results in longer off-time. This mode of
operation results in excellent conversion efficiency at very light load. When auto-PFM mode is used, the output
voltage at no load is approximately 1% higher than FPWM operation.
8.3.7.3 Dropout Mode
When the input voltage level decreases and approaches the output voltage level, the buck regulator reaches its
maximum duty cycle or minimum off-time requirement for each switching cycle. At this point the output is no
longer regulated and follows the input voltage minus the voltage drops from VIN to VOUT.
In order to maximize the input voltage range for which the output is still regulated, the LMZM23600 features
frequency foldback at low input voltage. This operation extends the switching period and, for a given fixed
minimum off-time, it prolongs the maximum duty cycle of the regulator. As a result, the output voltage can still be
well regulated even as the input voltage level is very close to the output voltage. This feature can be useful for
battery applications (maximizing the useful battery range) or in applications where large input voltage variations
can be expected.

ADVANCE INFORMATION
When constant frequency operation is more important than light load efficiency, the MODE/SYNC input of the
LMZM23600 device must be pulled high or a valid synchronization input must be provided. This activates forcedPWM-mode operation. Once activated, this feature ensures that the switching frequency stays constant across
the entire load current range, while operating between the minimum and maximum duty cycle limits. The diode
emulation feature is turned off in this mode. This means that the device remains in CCM under light loads. The
switching frequency in forced PWM mode is only reduced when the input voltage-to-output voltage ratio results in
minimum on-time limitation (ADJ version only) or minimum off-time limitation near dropout.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.7.4 SYNC Operation
It is often desirable to synchronize the switching frequency of multiple regulators in a single system. This
technique results in better defined EMI behavior and can reduce the need for capacitance on some power rails.
The LMZM23600 MODE/SYNC input allows synchronization to an external clock. The LMZM23600 implements
an in-phase locking scheme – the rising edge of the clock signal provided to the input of the LMZM23600 device
corresponds to turning on the high-side MOSFET device. This function is implemented using phase locking over
a limited frequency range eliminating large glitches upon initial application of an external clock. The clock fed into
the LMZM23600 device replaces the internal free-running clock but does not affect frequency foldback operation.
The output voltage continues to be well regulated using frequency reduction when duty factors outside of the
normal duty cycle range are reached.
The device remains in FPWM mode and operates in CCM for light loads when synchronization input is provided.
The MODE/SYNC function logic always prioritizes the proper regulation of the output voltage. Table 2
summarizes the MODE/SYNC function and the operating switching frequency with various conditions.

8.3.8 Thermal Protection
The LMZM23600 monitors its junction temperature (TJ) and shuts off if the it gets too hot. The thermal shutdown
threshold for the junction is typically 155°C. Both, high-side and low-side power MOSFETs are turned off until the
junction temperature has decreased under the hysteresis level, typically 15°C below the shutdown temperature.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1
Shutdown
The LMZM23600 device shuts down most internal circuitry and high-side and low-side power MOSFETs under
any of the following conditions:
1. EN is low
2. VIN is below the falling UVLO threshold
3. Junction temperature exceeds TSD threshold
The PGOOD flag remains operational with input voltage as low as 1.5 V.
8.4.2 FPWM Operation
8.4.3 Auto PFM Mode Operation
If MODE/SYNC is below the VMODE/SYNC low threshold, reverse current in the inductor is not allowed. This feature
is called diode emulation. While the load is heavy, the regulator uses PWM mode to control the output. If the load
is light, the control logic transitions to PFM mode. The switching frequency is reduced, resulting in excellent
energy savings while regulation is maintained. Because the frequency is reduced and switching pulses can come
in groups, the output voltage ripple can increase slightly. Under this condition, the output ripple can be reduced
by increasing the output capacitance.

ADVANCE INFORMATION
If MODE/SYNC is above the VMODE/SYNC high threshold or a valid synchronizing is applied to MODE/SYNC,
constant frequency operation is maintained across load. The ADJ option of the device folds back the frequency
when VIN exceeds 28 V typical so that the output voltage can be properly regulated. See Table 2 for all use
cases and options. FPWM mode requires negative current be allowed in the inductor if the load is light. If a large
negative load is present, operation is halted by a reverse current limit, IL-NEG.

9 Applications 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.
9.1 Application Information
The LMZM23600 device is a step-down nano module, typically used to efficiently convert a high DC input voltage
to a lower DC output voltage with a maximum output current of up to 1 A. The following sections describe a
simple design procedure for creating a DC-DC converter design with these modules.
9.2 Typical Applications
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The LMZM23600 module requires very few external components for a complete DC-DC converter design. If the
output voltage for the application is 3.3 V or 5 V, the fixed output voltage option of the LMZM23600 device can
be used. In such cases, the design is as simple as adding only an input and an output capacitor. The adjustable
output voltage version of the device allows the user to set the output voltage between 2.5 V and 15 V with the
addition of two feedback resistors to the bill of materials.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor selection and placement on the board layout is very important for any buck converter design.
This component provides the pulsing high di/dt current every switching cycle and reduces the input voltage ripple
seen by the buck converter. Use a good-quality 10-µF, 1210 (3225) case size, X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor
with sufficient voltage rating on the input of the device. Alternatively, in applications with strict size constraints
and more stable input voltage it is possible to use a 10-µF 1206 (3216) case size or a parallel combination of 2 ×
4.7 µF, 0805 (2012), X5R or X7R capacitors. Ceramic capacitors have a DC bias dependence on their effective
capacitance and can de-rate their value significantly when used at higher bias voltage. TI recommends ceramic
capacitors with ≥ 50-V rating when using the device with a 24-V input supply. Ceramic capacitors with ≥ 25-V
rating are recommended when using the device with a 12-V input supply.
Just like with any buck converter, place the input capacitor as close as possible and next to the LMZM23600.
Connect the capacitor directly to the VIN (pin 3) and GND (pin 1) terminals of the device. This placement
ensures that the area of the high di/dt current loop in the buck converter is kept to a minimum, resulting in the
lowest possible inductance in the switching current path. The proper placement of the input capacitor in any
buck converter helps to keep the output noise of the converter to a minimum. See Table 4 for several input
capacitor choices.

9.2.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection
ADVANCE INFORMATION
TI recommends low-ESR ceramic capacitors for output capacitors. There is a requirement for minimum
capacitance on the output of the LMZM23600 in order to ensure stable operation. The minimum output
capacitance requirement depends on the output voltage setting. There is also a maximum capacitance value for
stability and in order to limit the in-rush supply current. Excessive output capacitance can result in excessive
current to be drawn from the input supply during startup. If the overcurrent condition is persistent during start-up,
the over current protection of the LMZM23600 can activate and affect the normal output voltage ramp up. In
extreme cases, the Hiccup Mode operation can be activated during start-up if the maximum output capacitance is
exceeded.
Refer to Table 5 for the minimum, recommended, and maximum output capacitance values for each output
voltage. For this example with a 5-V output a 22-µF capacitor can be used.

The adjustable version of the LMZM23600 regulates the output voltage such that the FB node voltage is equal to
the internal VREF voltage of 1 V. The output voltage is then set by a feedback voltage divider formed by two
external resistors, RFBT and RFBB.
VOUT = VREF u
RFBB + RFBT

The range of adjustable output voltage is 2.5 V to 15 V.
Choose a value for RFBT in the kΩ range, and calculate the bottom resistor RFBB using Equation 2:

For this design example the output voltage is set to 5 V. The fixed 5-V output voltage option of the LMZM23600
can be used without any feedback resistors. If the adjustable output option is used for this design condition, the
top feedback resistor RFBT can be set to 102 kΩ. The RFBB value results in 25.5 kΩ.
The PGOOD terminal of the LMZM23600 is an open-drain output. If the application requires a power-good flag,
use a 100-kΩ pullup resistor from the PGOOD terminal to an external voltage rail. If a power-good function is not
necessary, the PGOOD terminal can be left floating.
9.2.2.5 VIN Divider and Enable

10 Power Supply Recommendations
10.1 Supply Voltage Range
The voltage of the input supply must not exceed the absolute maximum ratings and the recommended operating
conditions of the LMZM23600.
10.2 Supply Current Capability
The input supply must be able to supply the required input current to the LMZM23600 converter. The required
input current depends on the application's minimum input voltage, the required maximum output current, the
output voltage, and the converter efficiency η for this condition.
IIN t
VOUT u IOUTMAX
VINMIN u K
(4)
As an example, assuming that the adjustable output voltage version of the LMZM23600 is used for a 5-V, 0.5-A
output converter design with 12-V minimum input voltage. The conversion efficiency for this condition is about
85 %. The required input current from the supply would be 0.49 A, so an input power supply with ≥ 0.5 A current
capability would be recommended.
ADVANCE INFORMATION
10.3 Supply Input Connections
Long input connection cables can cause issues with the normal operation of any buck converter. Some of the
issues could be a voltage drop in the input voltage or stability probes because of the added series input
inductance.
10.3.1 Voltage Drops
Using long input wires to connect the supply to the input of any converter adds impedance in series with the
input supply. This impedance can cause a voltage drop at the VIN pin of the converter when the output of the
converter is loaded. If the input voltage is near the minimum input operating voltage for the design, this added
voltage drop can cause the converter to drop out or reset. If long wires are used during testing, it is
recommended to add some bulk (for example, electrolytic) capacitance at the input of the converter.
10.3.2 Stability
The added inductance of long input cables together with the ceramic (and low ESR) input capacitor can result in
an underdamped RLC network at the input of the buck converter. This circuit may cause instability, or overvoltage transients at the VIN pin each time the input supply is cycled on and off. If long wires are used, TI
recommends adding some electrolytic bulk capacitance in parallel with the ceramic input capacitor. The ESR of
the bulk capacitor improves the damping. Use an electrolytic capacitor with a capacitance at least four times
larger than the ceramic input capacitance.
CBULK t 4 u CCER
(5)
The required ESR from the bulk capacitor depends on the cable inductance.
ESRBULK t
LCABLE
CCER
(6)
For example, two cables (one for VIN and one for GND), each 1 meter (approximately 3 feet) long with ~1 mm
diameter (18 AWG), placed 1 cm (approximately 0.4 inch) apart forms a rectangular loop resulting in about 1.2
µH of inductance. The inductance in this example can be decreased to almost half if the input wires are twisted.
Based on a 10-µF ceramic input capacitor, the recommended parallel CBULK is ≥ 40 µF. Using a 47-µF capacitor
is sufficient. Based on about 1.2 µH of inductance and 10 µF of ceramic input capacitance, the recommended
ESR of the bulk capacitor is 0.35 Ω or larger. See TI User Guide, Simple Success with Conducted EMI for DCDC Converters for more details on input filter design.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
1. Minimize the inductance in the switching current path of the converter. The switching current path in the buck
converter is formed by the input capacitor and the power switches (for example, MOSFETs). A common
mistake in many buck converter layouts is placing the input capacitor far from the IC. This introduces
inductance in the switching current path, which leads to high frequency ringing on the switching node, which
results in high frequency noise coupled all the way to the output voltage. The input capacitor placement
affects the amount of noise on the output in a buck converter. Place the input capacitor as close as
possible, right next to the LMZM23600 ensures that the switching current path area is kept to a minimum.
This results in the lowest possible inductance in the path of high di/dt current.
2. Protect any sensitive nodes in the converter design. The feedback node is usually a sensitive area of the
converter and needs to be away from any noise sources. The fixed 5-V and 3.3-V output voltage versions of
the LMZM23600 have the feedback resistors internal to the device, and the sensitive node is inside the
module. However, if the adjustable option is used, then two feedback resistors are required to set the output
voltage. A common mistake in many layouts is placing the divider close to the load, far from the device, and
then using a long feedback trace back to the regulator. A long feedback trace can potentially pick up noise
from other nearby circuits. TI recommends placing the feedback divider as close as possible to the
LMZM23600 device so that the feedback node is as small as possible.
3. Provide enough copper for heat dissipation. The board copper provides a thermal resistance path for the
heat to flow out of the package and dissipate into the environment. Place a dog-bone shape of ground (GND)
copper under the module for proper heat sinking. Also, place thermal vias to provide a heat path to the other
board layers. TI recommends an unbroken GND plane or GND area of copper on the top and bottom layers.

ADVANCE INFORMATION
Good board layout is essential for the proper operation of any switching regulator. A poor layout can ruin an
otherwise perfect schematic design. The good news is that it is relatively easy to achieve an optimized layout
when using a module because some of the critical nodes for the board layout are internal to the device. To have
a good layout with this module, the designer should follow these main objectives:

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.
