With a minimum of external components, the LM2738
is easy to use. The ability to drive 1.5-A loads with an
internal 250-mΩ NMOS switch using state-of-the-art
0.5-µm BiCMOS technology results in the best power
density available. Switching frequency is internally set
to 550 kHz (LM2738Y) or 1.6 MHz (LM2738X),
allowing the use of extremely small surface-mount
inductors and chip capacitors. Even though the
operating frequencies are very high, efficiencies up to
90% are easy to achieve. External enable is included,
featuring an ultralow standby current of 400 nA. The
LM2738 utilizes current-mode control and internal
compensation to provide high-performance regulation
over a wide range of operating conditions. Additional
features include internal soft-start circuitry to reduce
in-rush current, cycle-by-cycle current limit, thermal
shutdown, and output over-voltage protection.

Typical thermal shutdown occurs if the junction temperature exceeds 165°C. The maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(MAX) ,
RθJA and TA . The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is PD = (TJ(MAX) – TA) / RθJA. All numbers apply for
packages soldered directly onto a 3 inches × 3 inches PC board with 2 oz. copper on 4 layers in still air in accordance to JEDEC
standards. Thermal resistance varies greatly with layout, copper thickness, number of layers in PCB, power distribution, number of
thermal vias, board size, ambient temperature, and air flow.
6.5 Electrical Characteristics
All typical limits apply over TJ = 25°C, and all maximum and minimum limits apply over the full operating temperature range
(TJ = –40°C to +125°C). VIN = 12 V, VBOOST – VSW = 5 V unless otherwise specified. Data sheet minimum and maximum
specification limits are ensured by design, test, or statistical analysis.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM2738 is a constant frequency PWM buck regulator device that delivers a 1.5-A load current. The regulator
has a preset switching frequency of either 550 kHz (LM2738Y) or 1.6 MHz (LM2738X). These high frequencies
allow the LM2738 to operate with small surface-mount capacitors and inductors, resulting in DC-DC converters
that require a minimum amount of board space. The LM2738 is internally compensated, so it is simple to use and
requires few external components. The LM2738 uses current-mode control to regulate the output voltage.
The LM2738 supplies a regulated output voltage by switching the internal NMOS control switch at constant
frequency and variable duty cycle. A switching cycle begins at the falling edge of the reset pulse generated by
the internal oscillator. When this pulse goes low, the output control logic turns on the internal NMOS control
switch. During this on time, the SW pin voltage (VSW) swings up to approximately VIN, and the inductor current
(IL) increases with a linear slope. IL is measured by the current-sense amplifier, which generates an output
proportional to the switch current. The sense signal is summed with the regulator’s corrective ramp and
compared to the error amplifier’s output, which is proportional to the difference between the feedback voltage
and VREF. When the PWM comparator output goes high, the output switch turns off until the next switching cycle
begins. During the switch off-time, inductor current discharges through Schottky diode D1, which forces the SW
pin to swing below ground by the forward voltage (VD) of the catch diode. The regulator loop adjusts the duty
cycle (D) to maintain a constant output voltage. See Functional Block Diagram and Figure 25.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Boost Function
Capacitor CBOOST and diode D2 in Figure 26 are used to generate a voltage VBOOST. VBOOST – VSW is the gatedrive voltage to the internal NMOS control switch. To properly drive the internal NMOS switch during its on time,
VBOOST must be at least 2.5 V greater than VSW. TI recommends that VBOOST be greater than 2.5 V above VSW for
best efficiency. VBOOST – VSW must not exceed the maximum operating limit of 5.5 V. For best performance, see
Equation 1.
5.5 V > VBOOST – VSW > 2.5 V
(1)
When the LM2738 starts up, internal circuitry from the BOOST pin supplies a maximum of 20 mA to CBOOST. This
current charges CBOOST to a voltage sufficient to turn the switch on. The BOOST pin continues to source current
to CBOOST until the voltage at the feedback pin is greater than 0.76 V.
There are various methods to derive VBOOST:
1. From the input voltage (3 V < VIN < 5.5 V)
2. From the output voltage (2.5 V < VOUT < 5.5 V)
3. From an external distributed voltage rail (2.5 V < VEXT < 5.5 V)
4. From a shunt or series Zener diode
As seen on the Functional Block Diagram, capacitor CBOOST and diode D2 supply the gate-drive voltage for the
NMOS switch. Capacitor CBOOST is charged via diode D2 by VIN. During a normal switching cycle, when the
internal NMOS control switch is off (TOFF) (refer to Figure 25), VBOOST equals VIN minus the forward voltage of D2
(VFD2), during which the current in the inductor (L) forward biases the Schottky diode D1 (VFD1). Therefore the
voltage stored across CBOOST is Equation 2:
VBOOST – VSW = VIN – VFD2 + VFD1
(2)
When the NMOS switch turns on (TON), the switch pin rises to Equation 3:
VSW = VIN – (RDSON × IL),
(3)
forcing VBOOST to rise, thus reverse biasing D2. The voltage at VBOOST is then Equation 4:
VBOOST = 2 VIN – (RDSON × IL) – VFD2 + VFD1
(4)
which is approximately 2 VIN – 0.4 V for many applications. Thus the gate-drive voltage of the NMOS switch is
approximately VIN – 0.2 V.

Feature Description (continued)
An alternate method for charging CBOOST is to connect D2 to the output as shown in Figure 26. The output
voltage must be between 2.5 V and 5.5 V so that proper gate voltage is applied to the internal switch. In this
circuit, CBOOST provides a gate-drive voltage that is slightly less than VOUT.

Figure 26. VOUT Charges CBOOST
In applications where both VIN and VOUT are greater than 5.5 V, or less than 3 V, CBOOST cannot be charged
directly from these voltages. If VIN and VOUT are greater than 5.5 V, CBOOST can be charged from VIN or VOUT
minus a Zener voltage by placing a Zener diode D3 in series with D2, as shown in Figure 27. When using a
series Zener diode from the input, ensure that the regulation of the input supply does not create a voltage that
falls outside the recommended VBOOST voltage.

An alternative method is to place the Zener diode D3 in a shunt configuration as shown in Figure 28. A small
350-mW to 500-mW 5.1-V Zener in a SOT-23 or SOD package can be used for this purpose. A small ceramic
capacitor such as a 6.3-V, 0.1-µF capacitor (C4) must be placed in parallel with the Zener diode. When the
internal NMOS switch turns on, a pulse of current is drawn to charge the internal NMOS gate capacitance. The
0.1-µF parallel shunt capacitor ensures that the VBOOST voltage is maintained during this time.

Resistor R3 must be selected to provide enough RMS current to the Zener diode (D3) and to the BOOST pin. A
recommended choice for the Zener current (IZENER) is 1 mA. The current IBOOST into the BOOST pin supplies the
gate current of the NMOS control switch and varies typically according to the formula in Equation 5 for the X
version:
IBOOST = 0.56 × (D + 0.54) × (VZENER – VD2) mA
(5)
IBOOST can be calculated for the Y version using Equation 6:
IBOOST = 0.22 × (D + 0.54) × (VZENER – VD2) µA
where
•
•
•
•
•
D is the duty cycle
VZENER and VD2 are in volts
IBOOST is in milliamps
VZENER is the voltage applied to the anode of the boost diode (D2)
VD2 is the average forward voltage across D2
(6)
The formula for IBOOST in Equation 6 gives typical current. For the worst case IBOOST, increase the current by
40%. In that case, the worst case boost current is Equation 7:
IBOOST-MAX = 1.4 × IBOOST
(7)
R3 is then given by Equation 8:
R3 = (VIN – VZENER) / (1.4 × IBOOST + IZENER)
(8)
For example, using the X-version let VIN = 10 V, VZENER = 5 V, VD2 = 0.7 V, IZENER = 1 mA, and duty cycle
D = 50%. Then Equation 9 and Equation 10:
IBOOST = 0.56 × (0.5 + 0.54) × (5 – 0.7) mA = 2.5 mA
R3 = (10 V – 5 V) / (1.4 × 2.5 mA + 1 mA) = 1.11 kΩ
(9)
(10)
7.3.2 Soft-Start
This function forces VOUT to increase at a controlled rate during start-up. During soft-start, the error amplifier’s
reference voltage ramps from 0 V to its nominal value of 0.8 V in approximately 600 µs. This forces the regulator
output to ramp up in a more linear and controlled fashion, which helps reduce in-rush current.
7.3.3 Output Overvoltage Protection
The overvoltage comparator compares the FB pin voltage to a voltage that is 16% higher than the internal
reference VREF. Once the FB pin voltage goes 16% above the internal reference, the internal NMOS control
switch is turned off, which allows the output voltage to decrease toward regulation.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout
Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the LM2738 from operating until the input voltage exceeds 2.7 V (typical).
The UVLO threshold has approximately 400 mV of hysteresis, so the part operates until VIN drops below 2.3 V
(typical). Hysteresis prevents the part from turning off during power up if the VIN ramp-up is non-monotonic.
7.3.5 Current Limit
The LM2738 uses cycle-by-cycle current limiting to protect the output switch. During each switching cycle, a
current limit comparator detects if the output switch current exceeds 2.9 A (typical), and turns off the switch until
the next switching cycle begins.
7.3.6 Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown limits total power dissipation by turning off the output switch when the device junction
temperature exceeds 165°C. After thermal shutdown occurs, the output switch doesn’t turn on until the junction
temperature drops to approximately 150°C.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Enable Pin and Shutdown Mode
The LM2738 has a shutdown mode that is controlled by the enable pin (EN). When a logic low voltage is applied
to EN, the part is in shutdown mode, and its quiescent current drops to typically 400 nA. The voltage at this pin
must never exceed VIN + 0.3 V.

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 must
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM2738 operates over a wide range of conditions, which is limited by the ON time of the device. Figure 29
shows the recommended operating area for the X version at the full load (1.5 A) and at 25°C ambient
temperature. The Y version of the LM2738 operates at a lower frequency, and therefore operates over the entire
range of operating voltages.

8.2.1.2.1 Inductor Selection
The duty cycle (D) can be approximated quickly using the ratio of output voltage (VO) to input voltage (VIN), using
Equation 11:
VO
D=
VIN
(11)
The catch diode (D1) forward voltage drop and the voltage drop across the internal NMOS switch must be
included to calculate a more accurate duty cycle. Calculate D by using Equation 12:
VO + VD
D=
VIN + VD - VSW
(12)
VSW can be approximated by Equation 13:
VSW = IOUT × RDSON
(13)
The diode forward drop (VD) can range from 0.3 V to 0.7 V depending on the quality of the diode. The lower the
VD, the higher the operating efficiency of the converter. The inductor value determines the output ripple current.
Lower inductor values decrease the size of the inductor, but increase the output ripple current. An increase in the
inductor value decreases the output ripple current.
One must ensure that the minimum current limit (2 A) is not exceeded, so the peak current in the inductor must
be calculated. The peak current (ILPK) in the inductor is calculated by Equation 14 and Equation 15:
ILPK = IOUT + ΔiL

SNVS556C – APRIL 2008 – REVISED JANUARY 2016
Typical Applications (continued)
If ΔiL = 33.3% of 1.5 A, the peak current in the inductor is 2 A. The minimum specified current limit over all
operating conditions is 2 A. One can either reduce ΔiL, or make the engineering judgment that zero margin is
safe enough. The typical current limit is 2.9 A.
The LM2738 operates at frequencies allowing the use of ceramic output capacitors without compromising
transient response. Ceramic capacitors allow higher inductor ripple without significantly increasing output ripple.
See the Output Capacitor section for more details on calculating output voltage ripple. Now that the ripple current
is determined, the inductance is calculated by Equation 17:

(17)
When selecting an inductor, make sure that it is capable of supporting the peak output current without saturating.
Inductor saturation results in a sudden reduction in inductance and prevents the regulator from operating
correctly. Because of the speed of the internal current limit, the peak current of the inductor need only be
specified for the required maximum output current. For example, if the designed maximum output current is 1 A
and the peak current is 1.25 A, the inductor must be specified with a saturation current limit of > 1.25 A. There is
no must specify the saturation or peak current of the inductor at the 2.9-A typical switch current limit. Because of
the operating frequency of the LM2738, ferrite based inductors are preferred to minimize core losses. This
presents little restriction because of the variety of ferrite-based inductors available. Lastly, inductors with lower
series resistance (RDCR) provide better operating efficiency. For recommended inductors see LM2738X Circuit
Example 1.
8.2.1.2.2 Input Capacitor
An input capacitor is necessary to ensure that VIN does not drop excessively during switching transients. The
primary specifications of the input capacitor are capacitance, voltage, RMS current rating, and equivalent series
inductance (ESL). The recommended input capacitance is 10 µF. The input voltage rating is specifically stated by
the capacitor manufacturer. Make sure to check any recommended deratings and also verify if there is any
significant change in capacitance at the operating input voltage and the operating temperature. The input
capacitor maximum RMS input current rating (IRMS-IN) must be greater than Equation 18:
2DiL ù
é
IRMS _ IN D êIOUT 2 (1- D) +
3 úû
ë
(18)
Neglecting inductor ripple simplifies Equation 18 to Equation 19:
IRMS _ IN = IOUT ´ D(1- D)
(19)
Equation 19 shows that maximum RMS capacitor current occurs when D = 0.5. Always calculate the RMS at the
point where the duty cycle D is closest to 0.5. The ESL of an input capacitor is usually determined by the
effective cross-sectional area of the current path. A large leaded capacitor has high ESL and a 0805 ceramicchip capacitor has very low ESL. At the operating frequencies of the LM2738, leaded capacitors may have an
ESL so large that the resulting impedance (2πfL) is higher than that required to provide stable operation. As a
result, surface-mount capacitors are strongly recommended.
Sanyo POSCAP, Tantalum or Niobium, Panasonic SP, and multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are all good
choices for both input and output capacitors and have very low ESL. For MLCCs, TI recommends using X7R or
X5R type capacitors due to their tolerance and temperature characteristics. Consult the capacitor manufacturer's
data sheets to see how rated capacitance varies over operating conditions.
8.2.1.2.3 Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is selected based upon the desired output ripple and transient response. The initial current
of a load transient is provided mainly by the output capacitor. The output ripple of the converter is Equation 20:

(20)
When using MLCCs, the equivalent series resistance (ESR) is typically so low that the capacitive ripple may
dominate. When this occurs, the output ripple is approximately sinusoidal and 90° phase shifted from the
switching action. Given the availability and quality of MLCCs and the expected output voltage of designs using
the LM2738, there is really no must review any other capacitor technologies. Another benefit of ceramic
capacitors is the ability to bypass high-frequency noise. A certain amount of switching edge noise couples
through parasitic capacitances in the inductor to the output. A ceramic capacitor bypasses this noise while a
tantalum capacitor does not. Since the output capacitor is one of the two external components that control the
stability of the regulator control loop, most applications require a minimum of 22 µF of output capacitance.
Capacitance, in general, is often increased when operating at lower duty cycles. Refer to the Circuit Examples for
suggested output capacitances of common applications. Like the input capacitor, recommended multilayer
ceramic capacitors are X7R or X5R types.
8.2.1.2.4 Catch Diode
The catch diode (D1) conducts during the switch off time. A Schottky diode is recommended for its fast switching
times and low forward voltage drop. The catch diode must be chosen so that its current rating is greater than
Equation 21:
ID1 = IOUT × (1-D)
(21)
The reverse breakdown rating of the diode must be at least the maximum input voltage plus appropriate margin.
To improve efficiency, choose a Schottky diode with a low forward-voltage drop.
8.2.1.2.5 Output Voltage
The output voltage is set using Equation 22 and Equation 23 where R2 is connected between the FB pin and
GND, and R1 is connected between VO and the FB pin. A good value for R2 is 10 kΩ. When designing a unity
gain converter (VO = 0.8 V), R1 must be between 0 Ω and 100 Ω, and R2 must not be loaded.

or,
h=

(25)
Calculations for determining the most significant power losses are shown in Equation 26. Other losses totaling
less than 2% are not discussed.
Power loss (PLOSS) is the sum of two basic types of losses in the converter: switching and conduction.
Conduction losses usually dominate at higher output loads, whereas switching losses remain relatively fixed and
dominate at lower output loads. The first step in determining the losses is to calculate the duty cycle (D):
VOUT + VD
D=
VIN + VD - VSW
(26)
VSW is the voltage drop across the internal NFET when it is on, and is equal to Equation 27:
VSW = IOUT × RDSON

Typical Applications (continued)
VD is the forward voltage drop across the Schottky catch diode. It can be obtained from the diode manufacturer's
data sheet Electrical Characteristics section. If the voltage drop across the inductor (VDCR) is accounted for, the
equation becomes Equation 28:
VOUT + VD + VDCR
D=
VIN + VD + VDCR - VSW
(28)
The conduction losses in the free-wheeling Schottky diode are calculated by Equation 29:
PDIODE = VD × IOUT × (1-D)
(29)
Often this is the single most significant power loss in the circuit. Care must be taken to choose a Schottky diode
that has a low forward-voltage drop.
Another significant external power loss is the conduction loss in the output inductor. The equation can be
simplified to Equation 30:
PIND = IOUT2 × RDCR
(30)
The LM2738 conduction loss is mainly associated with the internal NFET switch in Equation 31:

æ
1 æ DiL ö ÷ö

ç
PCOND = (IOUT ´ D) 1 + ´ ç
÷ RDSON
ç
3 è IOUT ø ÷
è
ø
(31)
If the inductor ripple current is fairly small, the conduction losses can be simplified to Equation 32:
PCOND = IOUT2 × RDSON × D
(32)
Switching losses are also associated with the internal NFET switch. They occur during the switch on and off
transition periods, where voltages and currents overlap resulting in power loss. The simplest means to determine
this loss is to empirically measure the rise and fall times (10% to 90%) of the switch at the switch node.
Switching Power Loss is calculated as follows in Equation 33, Equation 34, and Equation 35:
PSWR = 1/2(VIN × IOUT × FSW × TRISE)
PSWF = 1/2(VIN × IOUT × FSW × TFALL)
PSW = PSWR + PSWF
(33)
(34)
(35)
Another loss is the power required for operation of the internal circuitry in Equation 36:
PQ = IQ × VIN
(36)
IQ is the quiescent operating current, and is typically around 1.9 mA for the 0.55-MHz frequency option.
Table 2 lists the power losses for a typical application, and in Equation 37, Equation 38, and Equation 39.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The input voltage is rated as 3 V to 20 V. Care must be taken in certain circuit configurations, such as when
VBOOST is derived from VIN, where the requirement that VBOOST – VSW is less than 5.5 V must be observed. Also
for best efficiency, VBOOST must be at least 2.5 V above VSW. The voltage on the enable (EN) pin must not
exceed VIN by more than 0.3 V.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
When planning layout there are a few things to consider when trying to achieve a clean, regulated output. The
most important consideration is the close coupling of the GND connections of the input capacitor and the catch
diode D1. These ground ends must be close to one another and be connected to the GND plane with at least
two through-holes. Place these components as close as possible to the device. Next in importance is the location
of the GND connection of the output capacitor, which must be near the GND connections of CIN and D1. There
must be a continuous ground plane on the bottom layer of a two-layer board except under the switching node
island. The FB pin is a high-impedance node, and take care to make the FB trace short to avoid noise pickup
and inaccurate regulation. The feedback resistors must be placed as close to the device as possible, with the
GND of R1 placed as close to the GND of the device as possible. The VOUT trace to R2 must be routed away
from the inductor and any other traces that are switching. High AC currents flow through the VIN, SW, and VOUT
traces, so they must be as short and wide as possible. However, making the traces wide increases radiated
noise, so the designer must make this trade-off. Radiated noise can be decreased by choosing a shielded
inductor. The remaining components must also be placed as close to the device as possible. See AN-1229
SIMPLE SWITCHER® PCB Layout Guidelines (SNVA054) for further considerations, and the LM2738 demo
board as an example of a four-layer layout.
10.1.1 WSON Package
Figure 48. Internal WSON Connection
For certain high power applications, the PCB land may be modified to a dog-bone shape (see Figure 49). By
increasing the size of ground plane, and adding thermal vias, the RθJA for the application can be reduced.

10.2 Layout Example

10.3 Thermal Considerations
Heat in the LM2738 due to internal power dissipation is removed through conduction and/or convection.
Conduction: Heat transfer occurs through cross sectional areas of material. Depending on the material, the
transfer of heat can be considered to have poor to good thermal conductivity properties (insulator vs. conductor).
Heat Transfer goes as:
Silicon → package → lead frame → PCB
Convection: Heat transfer is by means of airflow. This could be from a fan or natural convection. Natural
convection occurs when air currents rise from the hot device to cooler air.
Thermal impedance is defined as Equation 40:
DT
Rq =
Power
(40)
Thermal impedance from the silicon junction to the ambient air is defined as Equation 41:
T -T
RqJA = J A
Power
(41)
The PCB size, weight of copper used to route traces and ground plane, and number of layers within the PCB can
greatly effect RθJA. The type and number of thermal vias can also make a large difference in the thermal
impedance. Thermal vias are necessary in most applications. They conduct heat from the surface of the PCB to
the ground plane. Four to six thermal vias must be placed under the exposed pad to the ground plane if the
WSON package is used.
Thermal impedance also depends on the thermal properties due to the application's operating conditions (VIN,
VO, IO and so forth), and the surrounding circuitry.
10.3.1 Silicon Junction Temperature Determination Methods
To accurately measure the silicon temperature for a given application, two methods can be used.
10.3.1.1 Method 1
The first method requires the user to know the thermal impedance of the silicon junction to top case temperature.

Thermal Considerations (continued)
To clarify:
RθJC is the thermal impedance from all six sides of a device package to silicon junction.
In this data sheet RΦJC is used, allowing the user to measure top case temperature with a small thermocouple
attached to the top case.
RΦJC is approximately 30°C/W for the 8-pin WSON package with the exposed pad. With the internal dissipation
from the efficiency calculation given previously, and the case temperature, RΦJC can be empirically measured on
the bench as Equation 42.
T -T
RF JC = J C
Power
(42)
Therefore in Equation 43:
Tj = (RΦJC × PLOSS) + TC
(43)
From the previous example, shows Equation 44 and Equation 45:
Tj = (RΦJC × PINTERNAL) + TC
Tj = 30°C/W × 0.207 W + TC
(44)
(45)
10.3.1.2 Method 2
The second method can give a very accurate silicon junction temperature.
The first step is to determine RθJA of the application. The LM2738 has overtemperature protection circuitry. When
the silicon temperature reaches 165°C, the device stops switching. The protection circuitry has a hysteresis of
about 15°C. Once the silicon temperature has decreased to approximately 150°C, the device starts to switch
again. Knowing this, the RθJA for any application can be characterized during the early stages of the design one
may calculate the RθJA by placing the PCB circuit into a thermal chamber. Raise the ambient temperature in the
given working application until the circuit enters thermal shutdown. If the SW pin is monitored, it is obvious when
the internal NFET stops switching, indicating a junction temperature of 165°C. Knowing the internal power
dissipation from the above equations, the junction temperature and the ambient temperature RθJA can be
determined with Equation 46.
165° - TA
RqJA =
PINTERNAL
(46)
Once RθJA is determined, the maximum ambient temperature allowed for a desired junction temperature can be
calculated.
An example of calculating RθJA for an application using the Texas Instruments LM2738 WSON demonstration
board is shown in Equation 48.
The four-layer PCB is constructed using FR4 with ½ oz copper traces. The copper ground plane is on the bottom
layer. The ground plane is accessed by two vias. The board measures 3 cm × 3 cm. It was placed in an oven
with no forced airflow. The ambient temperature was raised to 144°C, and at that temperature, the device went
into thermal shutdown.
From the previous example, Equation 47 and Equation 48 shows:
PINTERNAL = 207 mW
(47)
165°C - 144°C
RqJA =
= 102°C/W
207 mW
(48)
If the junction temperature is kept below 125°C, then the ambient temperature cannot go above 109°C, seen in
Equation 49 and Equation 50.
Tj – (RθJA × PLOSS) = TA
125°C – (102°C/W × 207 mW) = 104°C

voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
