LM27212 Two-Phase Current-Mode Hysteretic Buck Controller General Description The LM27212 is a two-phase synchronous buck regulator controller that is designed to support high-current loads such as microprocessors. The IC employs a two-phase current-mode hysteretic control mechanism. During normal operation, the two switching channels operate 180˚ out of phase, helping reduce the number of input capacitors. Inductor currents are sensed through low value sense resistors. Current sharing between the two channels is automatically guaranteed by multiplexing the feedback comparator. The regulator input voltage range supported by the LM27212 is 5V to 30V. The output voltage is programmed through six voltage identification pins and ranges from 0.700V to 1.708V in 64 steps. The IC provides accurate load-line characteristic. The regulator can be programmed to lower its output voltage linearly with increasing load current, so that the power generated by the load can be significantly reduced. Since the error in the output voltage directly sets the inductor currents, the dynamic response to a large and fast load transient is close to a square wave. This is optimal for meeting CPU supply voltage specifications. Due to the intrinsic input voltage feed forward characteristic of a peak current-mode controller, the IC has a superior line transient response. The IC provides a cycle-by-cycle peak current limit, overvoltage protection, and a power good signal. The LM27212 fully supports the Stop CPU mode and Sleep mode required by some mobile CPUs. In the Sleep mode, the IC enters single-phase power-saving operation which significantly enhances the light load efficiency. The LM27212 also has a soft start pin for the external adjustment of soft start speed. The LM27212 combined with the LM27222 series of MOSFET drivers, provides a layout-friendly, thermally optimized and noise-immune power solution for the mobile platform.

Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device is guaranteed. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics table. Functional temperature range is the range within which the device performs its intended functions, but not necessarily meeting the limits specified in the Electrical Characteristic table. Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation is calculated by using PDmax = (TJMAX - TA) /θJA , where TJMAX is the maximum junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the specified package. The 1.56W rating results from using 150˚C, 25˚C, and 80˚C/W for TJMAX, TA, and θJA respectively. The θJA of 90˚C/W represents the worst-case condition with no heat sinking of the 48-Pin TSSOP. Heat sinking allows the safe dissipation of more power. The Absolute Maximum power dissipation should be de-rated by 12.5mW per ˚C above 25˚C ambient. The LM27212 actively limits its junction temperature to about 150˚C. Note 3: For detailed information on soldering plastic small-outline packages, refer to the Packaging Databook available from National Semiconductor Corporation. Note 4: For testing purposes, ESD was applied using the human-body model, a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor. Note 5: All limits are guaranteed at room temperature (standard face type) and at temperature extremes (bold face type). All room temperature limits are 100% production tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. All limits are used to calculate Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL). www.national.com 8 LM27212 Timing Diagram 20152004 9 www.national.com LM27212 Block Diagram 20152003 www.national.com 10 LM27212 Operation Description 20152006 FIGURE 1. Two-Phase Current-Mode Hysteretic Operation GENERAL The LM27212 is a 2-phase current-mode hysteretic buck regulator controller that meets modern mobile CPU power requirements. The LM27212 operates from a 5V supply and generates two logic signals that can be used to control external MOSFET drivers. The IC also has two pins (SYNC1 & SYNC2) that can be used to instruct the external MOSFET drivers to run synchronous or asynchronous, a feature to enable power saving operation in Stop CPU or Sleep mode. since it is switching at infinite frequency, the V- voltage is always equal to V+ voltage. Since the hysteresis current, ih is zero, V- is always equal to X1. Therefore the voltage across RS1 is always equal to that across RR2. In other words, inductor current in each channel is proportional to the voltage across RR2. So whenever there is a change in VCORE, there will be a corresponding but smaller change in RR2 voltage, which causes a finite change in the inductor currents. That is how load line programming is achieved. In reality, the switching frequency is typically a few hundred kilohertz. The inductor currents therefore has a finite amount of ripple. The LM27212 sets the inductor ripple current by alternately forcing a hysteresis current (ih) through RH1 and RH2. The hysteresis current ih causes a hysteresis voltage across RH1 and RH2. When CMP1 gets connected to Vnode of the error comparator via the internal mux, ih is turned on and flows through the RH1 resistor, establishing a hysteresis voltage across it. The error comparator trips when V- exceeds V+, at which moment X1 exceeds V+ by the hysteresis voltage. In other words, roughly half of the ripple voltage developed across RS1 is equal to the hysteresis voltage across RH1. After the error comparator trips, the top switch of Channel 1 is turned off, ih is turned off and L1’s current starts to decrease. When L1’s current droops to a CONTROL LOOP Refer to Figure 1. The core of the control circuit is the error comparator, which turns off the top switch of a channel when that channel’s peak inductor current exceeds the current command. The comparator turns on the top switch of the other channel when the previous channel’s inductor current has dropped from its peak value by the preset hysteresis. By doing this the two channels are turned on and off alternately with a theoretical phase shift of 180 degrees. To understand how the current mode works in this topology, let us assume the hysteresis current (ih) is zero, and the regulator can switch at infinite frequency. For channel 1, 11 www.national.com LM27212 Operation Description DIODE EMULATION MODE (Continued) In such a mode, the zero-cross detector senses the Vds of the Channel 1 bottom FET while OUT1 is low. If the sensed Vds is negative, the bottom FET will remain on. If the sensed Vds starts to go positive, the bottom FET will be turend off so that inductor current cannot go negative. This action prevents energy from cycling back from output capacitors to the power source. This mode enjoys better efficiency than the pure asynchronous mode because before the inductor current goes to zero it flows through FET instead of a diode. By implementing such a mode, the switching frequency can drop significantly at light loads. As a result, both the switching loss and MOSFET gate charge loss can be significantly reduced. point where X1 (which is now the same as V- because ih is zero) is equal to V+, Channel 2’s top switch gets turned on and ih starts to flow through RH2. In reality, the steady-state voltage across RR2 is not pure DC. That complicates the precise calculation of the operating point. See Design Considerations. SOFT-START By charging up the capacitor connected between the SS pin and ground with a 20µA current, the VREF pin voltage gradually and linearly increases. That causes the inductor current to build up, and hence the output voltage will follow VREF. The required capacitance at the SS pin is simply 20µA divided by the desired output voltage slew rate. For example, if output voltage needs to go to 1V within 2ms, then the capacitance required would be about 40nF. STOP CPU MODE During normal operation, if the STP_CPU# pin is asserted and the SLP pin is not asserted, the VREF pin voltage will transition to the voltage at the VSTP pin. The speed of the transition depends on the soft start capacitor. The current that charges or discharges the soft start capacitor during such a transition is 350µA typical. The slew rate of the mode change is simply 350µA divided by SS pin capacitance. For example, if the soft start capacitor is 22nF, then the output voltage slew rate is 16mV/µs. Whenever the LM27212 is entering or exiting the Stop CPU mode, PGOOD is masked for about 130µs. SOFT SHUTDOWN The LM27212 goes through a soft shutdown process upon receiving a de-asserted VRON signal. A constant 40µA current discharges the soft start capacitor and linearly brings down the VREF voltage. The output voltage will follow VREF until VREF is 0.2V, after which the bottom FET is kept on and the top FET is kept off, causing the output voltage to quickly drop to zero. Soft shutdown serves two purposes. One is to prevent a severe negative output voltage while discharging the output capacitors during shutdown. The other is so that output voltage ramps down in a well controlled manner and the difference between various voltage rails supplying the processor can be controlled. SLEEP MODE The LM27212 will enter the Sleep mode only when both STP_CPU# and SLP are asserted. Upon assertion of the Sleep mode, the VREF pin voltage will transition to the voltage at the VSLP pin. The speed of the transition depends on the soft start capacitor. The current that charges or discharges the soft start capacitor during such a transition is 350µA typical. The slew rate of the mode change is simply 350µA divided by SS pin capacitance. For example, if the soft start capacitor is 22nF, then the output voltage slew rate is 16mV/µs. Whenever the LM27212 is entering or exiting the Sleep mode, PGOOD is masked for about 130µs. OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION The over-voltage protection trigger level can be set by tying the VOVP pin to a constant voltage. When the output voltage exceeds the VOVP pin voltage by 25%, the IC will turn off the top FET and turn on the bottom FET. The soft start capacitor will be discharged by the soft shutdown current. After the VDD pin voltage or VRON is toggled, the IC will go through a normal soft start. MODE CHANGE A mode change is a change in the VREF voltage caused by entering or existing Stop CPU mode or Sleep mode. During mode change or a Dynamic VID event, the soft start capacitor is charged or discharged with a 350µA current. POWER GOOD FLAG After the EXT PWRGD signal is asserted at the XPOK pin, the LM27212 will wait 6ms and then release PGOOD if the core voltage is within ± 12% of the initial VREF target voltage (VBOOT voltage). During a Dynamic VID or a mode transition, the PGOOD is masked for about 130µs and asserted high. Upon de-assertion of VRON, PGOOD is pulled low within 90ns. POWER SAVING MODE When both the DE_EN# and STP_CPU# pins are asserted and SLP is not toggling, the LM27212 will enter the Power Saving mode. In such a mode, Channel 1 will operate in Diode Emulator mode. Channel 2’s status depends on SLP. If SLP is also asserted, Channel 2 will be turned off (both OUT2 and SYNC2 will remain low, i.e. all Channel 2 FETs will be off), and Vcore will go to the VSLP voltage. If SLP is not asserted, Channel 2 will operate in pure asynchronous mode in which the bottom FET will not be turned on, and Vcore will be VID value minus the Stop CPU offset. If SLP goes from low to high during Power Saving mode, the LM27212 enforces two-channel synchronous mode for about 130µs to guarantee Vcore can be pulled down within the specified time. Refer to the Modes During Normal Operation table. DYNAMIC VID TRANSITIONS Upon detecting a DAC code change, the LM27212 will blank the Power Good for about 130µs, during which time the VREF voltage gradually transitions to the new DAC voltage. The speed of the transition depends on the soft start capacitor. The current that charges or discharges the soft start capacitor during such a transition is 350µA typical. The slew rate of the Dynamic VID change is simply 350µA divided by SS pin capacitance. For example, if the soft start capacitor is 22nF, then the Dynamic VID slew rate is 16mV/µs. www.national.com 12 Design Considerations (Continued) Modes During Normal Operation SLP STP_CPU# 0 0 0 0 DE_EN# Mode Description 0 Ch1 = DEM Ch2 = Asynch.

GENERAL Due to the large and ultra-fast load transient behavior in modern digital devices, it is typically easier to start the design process with the output capacitors. CURRENT SHARING Current sharing is guaranteed by actively sensing the inductor current in each channel and comparing the peak of each sensed current with the same reference. In a current mode hysteretic controller such as the LM27212, current sharing is intrinsic. However, due to the low resistance value of the sense resistors (as low as 1mΩ), care should be exercised to make sure that the layout of the sense resistors is symmetrical, especially how the sense lines are connected to the sense resistors. SWITCHING FREQUENCY RANGE In a current-mode hysteretic controller such as the LM27212, switching frequency can be rather complicated to calculate. If we assume that the ESR zero frequency is much lower than the typical switching frequency (typically true for non-MLCs), the switching frequency can be determined from the following equation (refer to Figure 1): CURRENT LIMITING An adjustable current limit is built in. An internal current flowing from the ILIMREF pin to the output through a resistor establishes a voltage which is compared with the voltage across the sense resistors to determine whether the sense resistors are conducting too much current. When the peak inductor current in Channel 1 exceeds the preset limit, the OUT1 pin will go low, causing the inductor current to drop. When the inductor current drops by an amount that corresponds to the hysteresis of the current limit, the OUT2 pin will be allowed to go high. If the inductor current of Channel 2 also hits current limit, then OUT2 pin will go low and so Channel 2 current will fall. When Channel 2 current falls by an amount that corresponds to current limit hysteresis, the OUT1 pin is allowed to go high again. In the case of a persistent over current, the output voltage will continue to droop until the load current is equal to the current limit value. If the output voltage droops too much (12% below nominal), PGOOD will be de-asserted and the system may use that to de-assert VRON and thus shut down the regulator. Where 13 www.national.com LM27212 Design Considerations The calculated minimum output capacitance is Cmin = 1026µF. Example 2: L = 0.2µH, ∆Ic_s = 20A, Re = 0.125mΩ, Vout = 1.00V, r = -3mΩ, δ = 10mV, Vrip = 12mV The calculated ∆Vc_s = 64mV (Continued) Vout = Vref + Iout x r In the equations, τ is the delay from error comparator trip point to the instant external power FETs start to switch. For the LM27212 and LM27222, that value is found to be 150ns typical. To determine the maximum switching frequency, first use the following equation to find the Vin value where the frequency peaks (notice that maximum switching frequency happens at maximum Vout value.): The calculated minimum output capacitance is Cmin = 313µF. The above calculations are based on the assumption that when the worst-case unloading transient happens, the top FETs of the two channels immediately turn off. If that is not always the case, more capacitance is needed and a bench test is probably necessary to determine how much more is needed. OUTPUT INDUCTOR SELECTION Large output inductor values will need large output capacitor values, whereas smaller inductance will cause larger output ripple voltage. To meet the budget for output ripple voltage, we need to find out what the ripple current in the inductors is. We know the peak-to-peak inductor current is: Then calculate the frequency using Vin_fmax for Vin, and Vout_max for Vout. Example: RR1 = RR2, Re = 3mΩ, L = 0.6µH, maximum Vout = 1.356V, maximum Vin = 8.4V, minimum Vout = 0.84V, RS1 = 3mΩ, Rds1 = 10mΩ, Rds2 = 4mΩ, Iout = 0A, r = -3mΩ, ih = 100µA, RH1 = 40Ω. So Vin_fmax = 6.83V and maximum switching frequency is fmax = 350kHz Lowest switching frequency happens at minimum Vout and maximum Vin. So for the above example, fmin = 250kHz. By plotting switching frequency curves, it is found that the largest ripple current happens at the highest Vin and Vout. Example: RR1 = RR2, Re = 3mΩ, L = 0.6µH, maximum Vout = 1.356V, maximum Vin = 15V, RS1 = 3mΩ, Rds1 = 10mΩ, Rds2 = 4mΩ, Iout = 0A, r = -3mΩ, ih = 100µA, RH1 = 40Ω. The calculated frequency is f = 266kHz, and D = 0.09 So the peak-to-peak inductor current is ∆i = 7.73A Therefore the output peak-to-peak ripple voltage is 23.2mV. OUTPUT CAPACITORS Output capacitors are critical in controlling the output voltage excursion when a load transient first happens. The initial voltage excursion consists of two portions, that caused by the output capacitor ESR, and that caused by the total capacitance. When the ESR value is close to the load line slope value, the initial voltage excursion will be dominated by the ESR. Otherwise, it will be mainly caused by loss of charge in the capacitors. For a load transient tutorial, please refer to the Output Capacitor Selection section in the LM2633 datasheet. It is apparent that the ESR should not exceed the load line slope |r|, or the load device’s specification will immediately be violated. In addition, the output capacitance should be greater than a minimum value which is required by the worst-case unloading transient. MOSFET SELECTION Bottom FET Selection During normal operation, the bottom FET is turned on and off at almost zero voltage. So only conduction loss is present in the bottom FET. The bottom FET power loss peaks at the maximum input voltage and load current. The most important parameter when choosing the bottom FET is the onresistance. The lower the on-resistance, the less the power loss. The equation for the maximum allowed on-resistance at room temperature for a given FET package, is: where where Tj_max is the maximum allowed junction temperature in the FET, Ta_max is the maximum ambient temperature, Rθja is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the FET, and TC is the temperature coefficient of the on-resistance which is typically 4000ppm/˚C. If the calculated on-resistance is smaller than the lowest value available, multiple FETs can be used in parallel. If the design criterion is to use the highest Rds FET, then the Rds2_max of a single FET can be increased due to reduced current. In the case of two FETs in parallel, multiply the Example 1: L = 0.6µH, ∆Ic_s = 20A, Re = 3mΩ, Vout = 1.356V, r = -3mΩ, δ = 10mV, Vrip = 12mV. The calculated ∆Vc_s = 64mV www.national.com 14 Since the switching loss usually increases with bigger FETs, choosing a top FET with a much smaller on-resistance sometimes may not yield a noticeably lower temperature rise and better efficiency. (Continued) calculated on-resistance by 4 to obtain the on-resistance for each FET. In the case of more FETs, that number is the square of the number of FETs. Since efficiency is very important in most cases, having the lowest on-resistance is usually more important than fully utilizing the thermal capacity of the package. So it is probably better to find the lowest Rds FET first, and then determine how many are needed. Example: Tj_max = 100˚C, Ta_max = 60˚C, Rθja = 60˚C/W, Vin_max = 15V, Vout = 1.356V, and Iout_max = 30A. INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION The fact that the two switching channels of the LM27212 are 180˚ out of phase will help reduce the RMS value of the ripple current seen by the input capacitors. That will help extend input capacitor life span and result in a more efficient system. In most application, the output voltage is rather low compared to the input voltage. The corresponding duty cycles are therefore less than 50%, which means there will be no overlapping between the two channels’ input current pulses. The equation for calculating the maximum total input ripple RMS current is therefore: Example: Iout_max = 30A, Vin = 8.1V to 15V, Vout = 1.356V The closer D is to 0.25, the larger the result. So the D value that should be used in this example should be D = 1.356 / 8.1V = 0.167. If four bottom FETs are to be used (2 per channel), the maximum on-resistance can be as high as 0.63mΩ x 16 = 10mΩ. Generally it will be better to use lower on-resistance FETs. Top FET Selection The top FET has two types of losses – switching losses and the conduction losses. The switching loss mainly consists of the crossover loss and the bottom diode reverse recovery loss. It is rather difficult to estimate the switching losses. A general starting point is to allot 60% of the top FET thermal capacity to switching loss. The best way to find out is still to test it on the bench. The equation for calculating the onresistance of the top FET is thus: If we use 10µF ceramic capacitors at the input and each can handle 1.5A of RMS ripple current, then we need 5 or 6 of these capacitors. SOFT-START CAPACITOR The capacitor connected between the SS pin and ground serves several purposes. Namely, soft start slew rate, soft shutdown slew rate, and Dynamic VID and Mode Change slew rates. During soft-start, the current charging the SS capacitor is 20µA typical. During soft shutdown, the current discharging the SS capacitor is 40µA typical. During Dynamic VID and Mode Change, the current charging or discharging the SS capacitor is 350µA typical. Usually the Dynamic VID and Mode Change slew rate is more critical than soft-start and soft shutdown slew rates. So when selecting SS capacitor value, priority should be assigned accordingly. The equation used to determine the SS capacitor value is: where Tj_max is the maximum allowed junction temperature in the FET, Ta_max is the maximum ambient temperature, Rθja is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the FET, and TC is the temperature coefficient of the on-resistance which is typically 4000ppm/˚C. Example: Tj_max = 100˚C, Ta_max = 60˚C, Rθja = 60˚C/W, Vin_min = 8.1V, Vout = 1.356V, and Iout_max = 30A. where ISS is the current through the SS pin, and dv/dt is the slew rate required. The equation used to determine the transition time for a given slew rate and SS capacitance is: If four top FETs are to be used (2 per channel), the maximum on-resistance can be as high as 1.35mΩ x 16 = 21.6mΩ. where ∆V is the voltage difference between the initial value and the end-of-transition value. 15 www.national.com LM27212 Design Considerations LM27212 Design Considerations (Continued) Example: soft start time is preferred to be 1ms to 3ms, initial Vcore is 1.37V, and Dynamic VID / Mode Change slew rate is preferred to be no less than 5mV/µs. So, Double-checking the soft start time: To make sure during Sleep entry PGOOD doesn’t go low, SS voltage must hit the PGOOD window of the target voltage before the PGOOD mask timer expires (around 130 µs). The following equation can be used to establish the approximate value of the largest SS capacitor. SETTING STOP CPU VOLTAGE VSTP Refer to Typical Application circuit. The Stop CPU voltage VSTP is a certain percentage lower than the DAC output voltage. The equation used to determine the R7 resistor values is: where ∆0 is the difference between VSLP (typically around 0.74V) and the SS-pin voltage immediately before the Sleep entry, and t is the time it tkaes to reach the VSLP voltage. A and B are coefficients that depend on temperature. Temperature A B Room -240e-6 -145e-6 110˚C -220e-6 -90e-6 where δ is the percentage VSTP is lower than VDAC. Example: δ = -2.69%. If we choose R8 = 100kΩ, then It is found that the SS-pin sink current is the lowest at 110˚C over the temperature range of -5˚C to 110˚C. SETTING VOVP, VBOOT, VSLP AND IH Refer to the Typical Application circuit. The hysteresis current ih used in the previous equations is equal to the current sourced by the V1R7 pin. So calculation of the R2, R3, R5 and R6 values is straightforward. Example: hysteresis current ih = 100µA, Sleep voltage VSLP = 0.748V, initial start up voltage VBOOT = 1.37V, OVP threshold VOVP = 1.7V. Choosing too small an R8 will result in too much current draw from the VDD pin, hurting system efficiency. Too large an R8 value may result in noise issues. SETTING THE HYSTERESIS Refer to Figure 1. The hysteresis voltages across RH1 and RH2 contribute to switching frequency characteristics, inductor ripple current, noise immunity and line regulation. Typically the higher the hysteresis, the lower the switching frequency and the tighter the frequency range. Also the higher the hysteresis, the higher the ripple current. In a typical mobile CPU design, the hysteresis is typically set at a few milivolts. Example: hysteresis voltage is set at 6mV, hysteresis current ih = 100µA So RH1 = RH2 = 6mV ÷ 100µA = 60Ω. www.national.com 16 LM27212 Design Considerations Special PCB Layout Considerations (Continued) SETTING CURRENT LIMIT 1. Grounding The current limit comparator compares the voltage preestablished across the current limit set resistor (R13 in Figure 1) and the voltage across the current sense resistors. There are two grounds, one is power ground, the other is signal ground. Power ground is the plane which DGND, power FETs, input and output capacitors are directly connected to. Signal ground is a separate plane that R6 / R8 / C3 / C7 and SGND / TGND (if LLP, also the thermal pad) are connected to. Signal ground should connect to the ground sense via through a trace. PGND should connect to the source pins of Channel 1 bottom FETs through a separate trace. If vias have to be used during routing, make sure the vias are isolated from all ground planes, polygons and fills. The current sourced by the ILIMREF pin is 3 times ih. The equation to determine R13 is: where Ipeak is the maximum allowed peak inductor current, RS1 is the sense resistance and Iref is the current sourced by the ILIMREF pin. Example: RS1 = RS2 = 3mΩ, Ipeak = 21A, Iref = 300µA. So R13 = 210Ω. Note Ipeak is usually half of maximum output current plus inductor current ripple plus some margin. Suppose the maximum output current is 24A, and inductor ripple current is ± 5A. So choosing an Ipeak value of 21A gives us a margin of 8A in load current. 2. Sensing The VCORE sense via should be as close to output bulk capacitors as possible and should be symmetrical with respect to the two phases. It should also be isolated from any VCORE planes / polygons / fills other than those on the top layer. The VCORE sense signal should be used for the SENSE pin, R13 and R14. This trace should be kept away from power inductors. SETTING THE LOAD LINE SLOPE Refer to Figure 1. In two-phase operation mode, the load line is set by the ratio between RR1 and RR2. The equation is: The ground sense via is the only place power ground connects to signal ground. The via should be as close to the output bulk capacitors as possible. It should be symmetrical with respect to the two phases. It should also be isolated from any ground planes/polygons/fills other than those on top layer. The control IC should be close to this Via. SW1 sense needs a trace from the SW1 pin to the drain pins of the Channel 1 bottom FETs. If vias have to be used during routing, make sure the vias are isolated from all SW1 planes / polygons / fills. Keep the SW1 sense trace as close as possible to the SRCK1 trace. Current sense vias should connect to the current sense resistor pads through a top layer trace. The vias should be isolated from all planes / polygons / fills on the same net but not on the top layer. They should connect to R11 / R12 and R18 / R19 through an isolated trace. Current sense traces should be kept away from power inductors. Example: RS1 = 3mΩ, r = -3mΩ. So RR2 divided by RR1+RR2 is 0.5 It is suggested that the user choose the parallel combination of RR1 and RR2 to be close to RH1 or RH2 to cancel the DC offset caused by bias current of the CMPx pins. So if RH1 is 60Ω, then RR1 = RR2 = 120Ω. 17 www.national.com LM27212 Special PCB Layout Considerations (Continued) 20152007 FIGURE 2.
