The TPS51116 provides a complete power supply for
both DDR/SSTL-2 and DDR2/SSTL-18 memory systems. It integrates a synchronous buck controller with
a 3-A sink/source tracking linear regulator and
buffered low noise reference. The TPS51116 offers
the lowest total solution cost in systems where space
is at a premium. The TPS51116 synchronous controller runs fixed 400kHz pseudo-constant frequency
PWM with an adaptive on-time control that can be
configured in D-CAP™ Mode for ease of use and
fastest transient response or in current mode to
support ceramic output capacitors. The 3-A
sink/source LDO maintains fast transient response
only requiring 20-µF (2 × 10 µF) of ceramic output
capacitance. In addition, the LDO supply input is
available externally to significantly reduce the total
power losses. The TPS51116 supports all of the
sleep state controls placing VTT at high-Z in S3
(suspend to RAM) and discharging VDDQ, VTT and
VTTREF (soft-off) in S4/S5 (suspend to disk). The
TPS51116 has all of the protection features including
thermal shutdown and is in a 20-pin HTSSOP
PowerPAD™ package.

TPS51116

SLUS609A – MAY 2004 – REVISED JUNE 2004
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TPS51116 is an integrated power management solution which combines a synchronous buck controller, a
10-mA buffered reference and a high-current sink/source low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) in a small 20-pin
HTSSOP package. Each of these rails generates VDDQ, VTTREF and VTT that required with DDR/DDR2
memory systems. The switch mode power supply (SMPS) portion employs external N-channel MOSFETs to
support high current for DDR/DDR2 memory’s VDD/VDDQ. The output voltage is preset and selectable from 2.5
V or 1.8 V. User defined output voltage is also possible and can be adjustable from 1.5 V to 3 V. Input voltage
range of the SMPS is 3 V to 28 V. The SMPS runs an adaptive on-time PWM operation at high-load condition
and automatically reduces frequency to keep excellent efficiency down to several mA. Current sensing scheme
uses either RDS(on) of the external rectifying MOSFET for a low-cost, loss-less solution, or an optional sense
resistor placed in series to the rectifying MOSFET for more accurate current limit. The output of the switcher is
sensed by VDDQSNS pin to generate one-half VDDQ for the 10-mA buffered reference (VTTREF) and the VTT
active termination supply. The VTT LDO can source and sink up to 3-A peak current with only 20-µF (two 10 µF
in parallel) ceramic output capacitors. VTTREF tracks VDDQ/2 within ±20 mV. VTT output tracks VTTREF within
±20 mV at no load condition while ±40 mV at full load. The LDO input can be separated from VDDQ and
optionally connected to a lower voltage by using VLDOIN pin. This helps reducing power dissipation in sourcing
phase. TheTPS51116 is fully compatible to JEDEC DDR/DDR2 specifications at S3/S5 sleep state (see Table 2).
The part has two options of output discharge function when both VTT and VDDQ are disabled. The tracking
discharge mode discharges VDDQ and VTT outputs through the internal LDO transistors and then VTT output
tracks half of VDDQ voltage during discharge. The non-tracking discharge mode discharges outputs using
internal discharge MOSFETs which are connected to VDDQSNS and VTT. The current capability of these
discharge FETs are limited and discharge occurs more slowly than the tracking discharge. These discharge
functions can be disabled by selecting non-discharge mode.
VDDQ SMPS, Dual PWM Operation Modes
The main control loop of the SMPS is designed as an adaptive on-time pulse width modulation (PWM) controller.
It supports two control schemes which are a current mode and a proprietary D-CAP™ mode. D-CAP™ mode
uses internal compensation circuit and is suitable for low external component count configuration with an
appropriate amount of ESR at the output capacitor(s). Current mode control has more flexibility, using external
compensation network, and can be used to achieve stable operation with very low ESR capacitor(s) such as
ceramic or specialty polymer capacitors.
These control modes are selected by the COMP terminal connection. If the COMP pin is connected to V5IN,
TPS51116 works in the D-CAP™ mode, otherwise it works in the current mode. VDDQ output voltage is
monitored at a feedback point voltage. If VDDQSET is connected to V5IN or GND, this feedback point is the
output of the internal resistor divider inside VDDQSNS pin. If an external resistor divider is connected to
VDDQSET pin, VDDQSET pin itself becomes the feedback point (see VDDQ Output Voltage Selection section).
At the beginning of each cycle, the synchronous top MOSFET is turned on, or becomes ON state. This MOSFET
is turned off, or becomes OFF state, after internal one shot timer expires. This one shot is determined by VIN and
VOUT to keep frequency fairly constant over input voltage range, hence it is called adaptive on-time control (see
PWM Frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control section). The MOSFET is turned on again when feedback
information indicates insufficient output voltage and inductor current information indicates below the over current
limit. Repeating operation in this manner, the controller regulates the output voltage. The synchronous bottom or
the rectifying MOSFET is turned on each OFF state to keep the conduction loss minimum. The rectifying
MOSFET is turned off when inductor current information detects zero level. This enables seamless transition to
the reduced frequency operation at light load condition so that high efficiency is kept over broad range of load
current.
In the current mode control scheme, the transconductance amplifier generates a target current level
corresponding to the voltage difference between the feedback point and the internal 750 mV reference. During
the OFF state, the PWM comparator monitors the inductor current signal as well as this target current level, and
when the inductor current signal comes lower than the target current level, the comparator provides SET signal
to initiate the next ON state. The voltage feedback gain is adjustable outside the controller device to support
various types of output MOSFETs and capacitors. In the D-CAP™ mode, the transconductance amplifier is
disabled and the PWM comparator compares the feedback point voltage and the internal 750 mV reference
during the OFF state. When the feedback point comes lower than the reference voltage, the comparator provides
SET signal to initiate the next ON state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
VDDQ SMPS, Light Load Condition
TPS51116 automatically reduces switching frequency at light load condition to maintain high efficiency. This
reduction of frequency is achieved smoothly and without increase of VOUTripple or load regulation. Detail
operation is described as follows. As the output current decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current
is also reduced and eventually comes to the point that its valley touches zero current, which is the boundary
between continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. The rectifying MOSFET is turned off when
this zero inductor current is detected. As the load current further decreased, the converter runs in discontinuous
conduction mode and it takes longer and longer to discharge the output capacitor to the level that requires next
ON cycle. The ON-time is kept the same as that in the heavy load condition. In reverse, when the output current
increase from light load to heavy load, switching frequency increases to the constant 400 kHz as the inductor
current reaches to the continuous conduction. The transition load point to the light load operation IOUT(LL) (i.e. the
threshold between continuous and discontinuous conduction mode) can be calculated in Equation 1:
(V V OUT) V OUT
1
I OUT(LL) IN
2Lf
V IN
(1)
where
• f is the PWM switching frequency (400 kHz)
Switching frequency versus output current in the light load condition is a function of L, f, VIN and VOUT, but it
decreases almost proportional to the output current from the IOUT(LL) given above. For example, it is 40 kHz at
IOUT(LL)/10 and 4 kHz at IOUT(LL)/100.
Low-Side Driver
The low-side driver is designed to drive high-current, low-RDS(on), N-channel MOSFET(s). The drive capability is
represented by its internal resistance, which are 3 Ω for V5IN to DRVL and 0.9 Ω for DRVL to PGND. A
dead-time to prevent shoot through is internally generated between top MOSFET off to bottom MOSFET on, and
bottom MOSFET off to top MOSFET on. 5-V bias voltage is delivered from V5IN supply. The instantaneous drive
current is supplied by an input capacitor connected between V5IN and GND. The average drive current is equal
to the gate charge at VGS = 5 V times switching frequency. This gate drive current as well as the high-side gate
drive current times 5 V makes the driving power which needs to be dissipated from TPS51116 package.
High-Side Driver
The high-side driver is designed to drive high-current, low-RDS(on) N-channel MOSFET(s). When configured as a
floating driver, 5-V bias voltage is delivered from V5IN supply. The average drive current is also calculated by the
gate charge at VGS = 5V times switching frequency. The instantaneous drive current is supplied by the flying
capacitor between VBST and LL pins. The drive capability is represented by its internal resistance, which are 3 Ω
for VBST to DRVH and 0.9 Ω for DRVH to LL.
Current Sensing Scheme
In order to provide both good accuracy and cost effective solution, TPS51116 supports both of external resistor
sensing and MOSFET RDS(on) sensing. For resistor sensing scheme, an appropriate current sensing resistor
should be connected between the source terminal of the bottom MOSFET and PGND. CS pin is connected to the
MOSFET source terminal node. The inductor current is monitored by the voltage between PGND pin and CS pin.
For RDS(on) sensing scheme, CS pin should be connected to V5IN through the trip voltage setting resistor, RTRIP.
In this scheme, CS terminal sinks 10-µA ITRIP current and the trip level is set to the voltage across the RTRIP. The
inductor current is monitored by the voltage between PGND pin and LL pin so that LL pin should be connected to
the drain terminal of the bottom MOSFET. ITRIP has 4500ppm/°C temperature slope to compensate the
temperature dependency of the RDS(on). In either scheme, PGND is used as the positive current sensing node so
that PGND should be connected to the proper current sensing device, i.e. the sense resistor or the source
terminal of the bottom MOSFET.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
PWM Frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control
TPS51116 employs adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated oscillator on board.
However, the device runs with fixed 400-kHz pseudo-constant frequency by feed-forwarding the input and output
voltage into the on-time one-shot timer. The on-time is controlled inverse proportional to the input voltage and
proportional to the output voltage so that the duty ratio is kept as VOUT/VIN technically with the same cycle time.
Although the TPS51116 does not have a pin connected to VIN, the input voltage is monitored at LL pin during
the ON state. This helps pin count reduction to make the part compact without sacrificing its performance. In
order to secure minimum ON-time during startup, feed-forward from the output voltage is enabled after the output
becomes 750 mV or larger.
VDDQ Output Voltage Selection
TPS51116 can be used for both of DDR (VVDDQ = 2.5 V) and DDR2 (VVDDQ = 1.8 V) power supply and adjustable
output voltage (1.5 V < VVDDQ < 3 V) by connecting VDDQSET pin as shown in Table 1.

VTT Linear Regulator and VTTREF
TPS51116 integrates high performance low-dropout linear regulator that is capable of sourcing and sinking
current up to 3 A. This VTT linear regulator employs ultimate fast response feedback loop so that small ceramic
capacitors are enough to keep tracking the VTTREF within ±40 mV at all conditions including fast load transient.
To achieve tight regulation with minimum effect of wiring resistance, a remote sensing terminal, VTTSNS, should
be connected to the positive node of VTT output capacitor(s) as a separate trace from VTT pin. For stable
operation, total capacitance of the VTT output terminal can be equal to or greater than 20 µF. It is recommended
to attach two 10-µF ceramic capacitors in parallel to minimize the effect of ESR and ESL. If ESR of the output
capacitor is greater than 2 mΩ, insert an RC filter between the output and the VTTSNS input to achieve loop
stability. The RC filter time constant should be almost the same or slightly lower than the time constant made by
the output capacitor and its ESR. VTTREF block consists of on-chip 1/2 divider, LPF and buffer. This regulator
also has sink and source capability up to 10 mA. Bypass VTTREF to GND by a 0.033-µF ceramic capacitor for
stable operation.
Outputs Management by S3, S5 Control
In the DDR/DDR2 memory applications, it is important to keep VDDQ always higher than VTT/VTTREF including
both start-up and shutdown. TPS51116 provides this management by simply connecting both S3 and S5
terminals to the sleep-mode signals such as SLP_S3 and SLP_S5 in the notebook PC system. All of VDDQ,
VTTREF and VTT are turned on at S0 state (S3 = S5 = high). In S3 state (S3 = low, S5 = high), VDDQ and
VTTREF voltages are kept on while VTT is turned off and left at high impedance (high-Z) state. The VTT output
is floated and does not sink or source current in this state. In S4/S5 states (S3 = S5 = low), all of the three
outputs are disabled. Outputs are discharged to ground according to the discharge mode selected by MODE pin
(see VDDQ and VTT Discharge Control section). Each state code represents as follow; S0 = full ON, S3 =
suspend to RAM (STR), S4 = suspend to disk (STD), S5 = soft OFF. (See Table 2)

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
Soft-Start and Powergood
The soft start function of the SMPS is achieved by ramping up reference voltage and two-stage current clamp. At
the starting point, the reference voltage is set to 650 mV (87% of its target value) and the overcurrent threshold
is set half of the nominal value. When UVP comparator detects VDDQ become greater than 80% of the target,
the reference voltage is raised toward 750 mV using internal 4-bit DAC. This takes approximately 85 µs. The
overcurrent threshold is released to nominal value at the end of this period. The powergood signal waits another
45 µs after the reference voltage reaches 750 mV and the VDDQ voltage becomes good (above 95% of the
target voltage), then turns off powergood open-drain MOSFET.
The soft-start function of the VTT LDO is achieved by current clamp. The current limit threshold is also changed
in two stages using an internal powergood signal dedicated for LDO. During VTT is below the powergood
threshold, the current limit level is cut into 60% (2.2 A).This allows the output capacitors to be charged with low
and constant current that gives linear ramp up of the output. When the output comes up to the good state, the
overcurrent limit level is released to normal value (3.8 A). TPS51116 has an independent counter for each
output, but the PGOOD signal indicates only the status of VDDQ and does not indicate VTT powergood
externally. See Figure 1.

VDDQ and VTT Discharge Control
TPS51116 discharges VDDQ, VTTREF and VTT outputs during S3 and S5 are both low. There are two different
discharge modes. The discharge mode can be set by connecting MODE pin as shown in Table 3.

Non-tracking discharge
When in tracking-discharge mode, TPS51116 discharges outputs through the internal VTT regulator transistors
and VTT output tracks half of VDDQ voltage during this discharge. Note that VDDQ discharge current flows via
VLDOIN to LDOGND thus VLDOIN must be connected to VDDQ output in this mode. The internal LDO can
handle up to 3 A and discharge quickly. After VDDQ is discharged down to 0.2 V, the internal LDO is turned off
and the operation mode is changed to the non-tracking-discharge mode.
When in non-tracking-discharge mode, TPS51116 discharges outputs using internal MOSFETs which are
connected to VDDQSNS and VTT. The current capability of these MOSFETs are limited to discharge slowly.
Note that VDDQ discharge current flows from VDDQSNS to PGND in this mode. In case of non-tracking mode,
TPS51116 does not discharge output charge at all.
Current Protection for VDDQ
The SMPS has cycle-by-cycle over current limiting control. The inductor current is monitored during the OFF
state and the controller keeps the OFF state during the inductor current is larger than the over current trip level.
The trip level and current sense scheme are determined by CS pin connection (see Current Sensing Scheme
section). For resistor sensing scheme, the trip level, VTRIP, is fixed value of 60 mV.
For RDS(on) sensing scheme, CS terminal sinks 10 µA and the trip level is set to the voltage across this RTRIP
resistor.
V TRIP (mV) RTRIP (k) 10 (A)

As the comparison is done during the OFF state, VTRIP sets valley level of the inductor current. Thus, the load

In an overcurrent condition, the current to the load exceeds the current to the output capacitor thus the output
voltage tends to fall down. If the output voltage becomes less than Powergood level, the VTRIP is cut into half and
the output voltage tends to be even lower. Eventually, it crosses the undervoltage protection threshold and
shutdown.
Current Protection for VTT
The LDO has an internally fixed constant over current limiting of 3.8 A while operating at normal condition. This
trip point is reduced to 2.2 A before the output voltage comes within ±5% of the target voltage or goes outside of
±10% of the target voltage.
Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection for VDDQ
TPS51116 monitors a resistor divided feedback voltage to detect overvoltage and undervoltage. If VDDQSET is
connected to V5IN or GND, the feedback voltage is made by an internal resistor divider inside VDDQSNS pin. If
an external resistor divider is connected to VDDQSET pin, the feedback voltage is VDDQSET voltage itself.
When the feedback voltage becomes higher than 115% of the target voltage, the OVP comparator output goes
high and the circuit latches as the top MOSFET driver OFF and the bottom MOSFET driver ON.
Also, TPS51116 monitors VDDQSNS voltage directly and if it becomes greater than 4 V TPS51116 turns off the
top MOSFET driver. When the feedback voltage becomes lower than 70% of the target voltage, the UVP
comparator output goes high and an internal UVP delay counter begins counting. After 32 cycles, TPS51116
latches OFF both top and bottom MOSFETs. This function is enabled after 1007 cycles of SMPS operation to
ensure startup.

V5IN Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Protection
TPS51116 has V5IN undervoltage lock out protection (UVLO). When the V5IN voltage is lower than UVLO
threshold voltage, SMPS, VTTLDO and VTTREF are shut off. This is a non-latch protection.
V5IN Input Capacitor
Add a ceramic capacitor with a value between 1.0 µF and 4.7 µF placed close to the V5IN pin to stabilize 5 V
from any parasitic impedance from the supply.
Thermal Shutdown
TPS51116 monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value, 160°C (typ),
SMPS, VTTLDO and VTTREF are shut off. This is a non-latch protection and the operation is resumed when the
device is cooled down by about 10°C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Loop Compensation and External Parts Selection
Current Mode Operation
A buck converter using TPS51116 current mode operation can be partitioned into three portions, a voltage
divider, an error amplifier and a switching modulator. By linearizing the switching modulator, we can derive the
transfer function of the whole system. Since current mode scheme directly controls the inductor current, the
modulator can be linearized as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Linearizing the Modulator
Here, the inductor is located inside the local feedback loop and its inductance does not appear in the small signal
model. As a result, a modulated current source including the power inductor can be modeled as a current source
with its transconductance of 1/RS and the output capacitor represent the modulator portion. This simplified model
is applicable in the frequency space up to approximately a half of the switching frequency. One note is, although
the inductance has no influence to small signal model, it has influence to the large signal model as it limits slew
rate of the current source. This means the buck converter’s load transient response, one of the large signal
behaviors, can be improved by using smaller inductance without affecting the loop stability.
Total open loop transfer function of the whole system is given by Equation 6.

Based on small signal analysis above, the external components can be selected by following manner.

2. Choose rectifying (bottom) MOSFET. When RDS(on) sensing scheme is selected, the rectifying MOSFET’s
on-resistance is used as this RS so that lower RDS(on) does not always promise better performance. In order
to clearly detect inductor current, minimum RS recommended is to give 15 mV or larger ripple voltage with
the inductor ripple current. This promises smooth transition from CCM to DCM or vice versa. Upper side of
the RDS(on) is of course restricted by the efficiency requirement, and usually this resistance affects efficiency
more at high-load conditions. When using external resistor current sensing, there is no restriction for low
RDS(on). However, the current sensing resistance RS itself affects the efficiency
3. Choose output capacitor(s). In cases of organic semiconductor capacitors (OS-CON) or specialty polymer
capacitors (SP-CAP), ESR to achieve required ripple value at stable state or transient load conditions
determines the amount of capacitor(s) need, and capacitance is then enough to satisfy stable operation. The
peak-to-peak ripple value can be estimated by ESR times the inductor ripple current for stable state, or ESR
times the load current step for a fast transient load response. In case of ceramic capacitor(s), usually ESR is
small enough to meet ripple requirement. On the other hand, transient undershoot and overshoot driven by
output capacitance becomes the key factor to determine the capacitor(s).
4. Determine f0 and calculate RC using Equation 18. Note that higher RC shows faster transient response in
cost of unstableness. If the transient response is not enough even with high RC value, try increasing the out
put capacitance. Recommended f0 is fOSC/4. Then RC can be derived by Equation 19.

The VDDQSNS voltage is compare with internal reference voltage after divider resistors. The PWM comparator
determines the timing to turn on top MOSFET. The gain and speed of the comparator is high enough to keep the
voltage at the beginning of each on cycle (or the end of off cycle) substantially constant. The DC output voltage
may have line regulation due to ripple amplitude that slightly increases as the input voltage increase.
For the loop stability, the 0-dB frequency, f0, defined below need to be lower than 1/3 of the switching frequency.

As f0 is determined solely by the output capacitor’s characteristics, loop stability of D-CAP™ mode is determined
by the capacitor’s chemistry. For example, specialty polymer capacitors (SP-CAP) have CO in the order of
several 100 µF and ESR in range of 10 mΩ. These makes f0 in the order of 100 kHz or less and the loop is then
stable. However, ceramic capacitors have f0 at more than 700 kHz, which is not suitable for this operational
mode.
Although D-CAP™ mode provides many advantages such as ease-of-use, minimum external components
configuration and extremely short response time, due to not employing an error amplifier in the loop, sufficient
amount of feedback signal needs to be provided by external circuit to reduce jitter level.
The required signal level is approximately 15 mV at comparing point. This gives VRIPPLE = (VOUT/0.75) x 15 (mV)
at the output node. The output capacitor’s ESR should meet this requirement.
The external components selection is much simple in D-CAP™ mode.

Thermal Design
Primary power dissipation of TPS51116 is generated from VTT regulator. VTT current flow in both source and
sink directions generate power dissipation from the part. In the source phase, potential difference between
VLDOIN and VTT times VTT current becomes the power dissipation, WDSRC.
W DSRC VVLDOIN VVTT I VTT
(26)
In this case, if VLDOIN is connected to an alternative power supply lower than VDDQ voltage, power loss can be
decreased.
For the sink phase, VTT voltage is applied across the internal LDO regulator, and the power dissipation, WDSNK,
is calculated by Equation 27:
W DSNK VVTT I VTT
(27)
Since this device does not sink AND source the current at the same time and IVTT varies rapidly with time, actual
power dissipation need to be considered for thermal design is an average of above value. Another power
consumption is the current used for internal control circuitry from V5IN supply and VLDOIN supply. V5IN
supports both the internal circuit and external MOSFETs drive current. The former current is in the VLDOIN
supply can be estimated as 1.5 mA or less at normal operational conditions.
These powers need to be effectively dissipated from the package. Maximum power dissipation allowed to the

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
This thermal resistance strongly depends on the board layout. TPS51116 is assembled in a thermally enhanced
PowerPAD™ package that has exposed die pad underneath the body. For improved thermal performance, this
die pad needs to be attached to ground trace via thermal land on the PCB. This ground trace acts as a heat
sink/spread. The typical thermal resistance, 39.6°C/W, is achieved based on a 6.5 mm × 3.4 mm thermal land
with eight vias without air flow. It can be improved by using larger thermal land and/or increasing vias number.
Further information about PowerPAD™ and its recommended board layout is described in (SLMA002). This
document is available at <www.ti.com>.
Layout Considerations
Certain points must be considered before designing a layout using the TPS51116.
• PCB trace defined as LL node, which connects to source of switching MOSFET, drain of rectifying MOSFET
and high-voltage side of the inductor, should be as short and wide as possible.
• Consider adding a small snubber circuit, consists of 3 Ω and 1 nF, between LL and PGND in case a
high-frequency surge is observed on the LL voltage waveform.
• All sensitive analog traces such as VDDQSNS, VTTSNS and CS should placed away from high-voltage
switching nodes such as LL, DRVL or DRVH nodes to avoid coupling.
• VLDOIN should be connected to VDDQ output with short and wide trace. If different power source is used for
VLDOIN, an input bypass capacitor should be placed to the pin as close as possible with short and wide
connection.
• The output capacitor for VTT should be placed close to the pin with short and wide connection in order to
avoid additional ESR and/or ESL of the trace.
• VTTSNS should be connected to the positive node of VTT output capacitor(s) as a separate trace from the
high current power line and is strongly recommended to avoid additional ESR and/or ESL. If it is needed to
sense the voltage of the point of the load, it is recommended to attach the output capacitor(s) at that point.
Also, it is recommended to minimize any additional ESR and/or ESL of ground trace between GND pin and
the output capacitor(s).
• Consider adding LPF at VTTSNS in case ESR of the VTT output capacitor(s) is larger than 2 mΩ.
• VDDQSNS can be connected separately from VLDOIN. Remember that this sensing potential is the
reference voltage of VTTREF. Avoid any noise generative lines.
• Negative node of VTT output capacitor(s) and VTTREF capacitor should be tied together by avoiding
common impedance to the high current path of the VTT source/sink current.
• GND (Signal GND) pin node represents the reference potential for VTTREF and VTT outputs. Connect GND
to negative nodes of VTT capacitor(s), VTTREF capacitor and VDDQ capacitor(s) with care to avoid
additional ESR and/or ESL. GND and PGND (power ground) should be connected together at a single point.
• In order to effectively remove heat from the package, prepare thermal land and solder to the package’s
thermal pad. Wide trace of the component-side copper, connected to this thermal land, helps heat spreading.
Numerous vias with a 0.33-mm diameter connected from the thermal land to the internal/solder-side ground
plane(s) should be used to help dissipation. Do NOT connect PGND to this thermal land underneath the
package.
