(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings

only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended

Operating Conditions: Bucks. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

(2) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.

(3) In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may

have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP =

125°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the

part/package in the application (RθJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP −(RθJA × PD-MAX). See Application and

Implementation.

only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended

Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

(2) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.

(3) Minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) limits are specified by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical numbers represent the most

likely norm.

(4) VPOR is voltage at which the EPROM resets. This is different from the UVLO on VINLDO12, which is the voltage at which the

regulators shut off; and is also different from the nPOR function, which signals if the regulators are in a specified range.

(3) CIN, COUT: Low-ESR Surface-Mount Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) used in setting electrical characteristics.

(4) The device maintains a stable, regulated output voltage without a load.

(5) Pins 24, 19 can operate from VIN min of 1.74 V to a VIN max of 5.5 V. This rating is only for the series pass PMOS power FET. It allows

the system design to use a lower voltage rating if the input voltage comes from a buck output.

(6) VIN minimum for line regulation values is 1.8 V.

(7) Dropout voltage is the voltage difference between the input and the output at which the output voltage drops to 100 mV below its

nominal value.

8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 DC-DC Converters

The LM26480-Q1 provides the DC-DC converters that supply the various power needs of the application by

means of two linear low dropout regulators, LDO1 and LDO2, and two buck converters, SW1 and SW2. Table 3

lists the output characteristics of the various regulators.

8.3.1.1 Linear Low Dropout Regulators (LDOs)

LDO1 and LDO2 are identical linear regulators targeting analog loads characterized by low noise requirements.

LDO1 and LDO2 are enabled through the ENLDO pin.

Figure 19. LDO Block Diagram

8.3.1.1.1 No-Load Stability

The LDOs remain stable and in regulation with no external load. This is an important consideration in some

circuits, for example, CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.

8.3.1.2 SW1, SW2: Synchronous Step-Down Magnetic DC-DC Converters

8.3.1.2.1 Functional Description

The LM26480-Q1 incorporates two high-efficiency synchronous switching buck regulators, SW1 and SW2, that

deliver a constant voltage from a single Li-Ion battery to the portable system processors. Using a voltage mode

architecture with synchronous rectification, both bucks have the ability to deliver up to 1500 mA depending on the

input voltage and output voltage (voltage headroom), and the inductor chosen (maximum current capability).

There are three modes of operation depending on the current required: PWM, PFM, and shutdown. PWM mode

handles current loads of approximately 70 mA or higher, delivering voltage precision of ±3% with 90% efficiency

or better. Lighter output current loads cause the device to automatically switch into PFM for reduced current

consumption (IQ= 33 µA typical) and a longer battery life. The Standby operating mode turns off the device,

offering the lowest current consumption. PWM or PFM mode is selected automatically or PWM mode can be

forced through the setting of the buck control register.

Both SW1 and SW2 can operate up to a 100% duty cycle (PMOS switch always on) for low drop out control of

the output voltage. In this way the output voltage will be controlled down to the lowest possible input voltage.

Additional features include soft-start, undervoltage lockout, current overload protection, and thermal overload

protection.

The enable signal may be employed immediately after VIN is applied to the device. However, VIN must be stable

for approximately 8 ms before enable single be asserted high to ensure internal bias, reference, and the flexible

POR timing are stabilized. This initial delay is necessary only upon first time device power on.

8.3.1.2.2 Circuit Operation Description

A buck converter contains a control block, a switching PFET connected between input and output, a synchronous

rectifying NFET connected between the output and ground (BCKGND pin) and a feedback path. During the first

portion of each switching cycle, the control block turns on the internal PFET switch. This allows current to flow

from the input through the inductor to the output filter capacitor and load. The inductor limits the current to a

ramp with a slope of

(1)

by storing energy in a magnetic field. During the second portion of each cycle, the control block turns the PFET

switch off, blocking current flow from the input, and then turns the NFET synchronous rectifier on. The inductor

draws current from ground through the NFET to the output filter capacitor and load, which ramps the inductor

current down with a slope of

(2)

The output filter stores charge when the inductor current is high, and releases it when low, smoothing the voltage

across the load.

8.3.1.2.3 PWM Operation

During PWM operation the converter operates as a voltage-mode controller with input voltage feed forward. This

allows the converter to achieve excellent load and line regulation. The DC gain of the power stage is proportional

to the input voltage. To eliminate this dependence, feed forward voltage inversely proportional to the input

voltage is introduced.

8.3.1.2.4 Internal Synchronous Rectification

While in PWM mode, the buck uses an internal NFET as a synchronous rectifier to reduce rectifier forward

voltage drop and associated power loss. Synchronous rectification provides a significant improvement in

efficiency whenever the output voltage is relatively low compared to the voltage drop across an ordinary rectifier

diode.

8.3.1.2.5 Current Limiting

A current limit feature allows the converter to protect itself and external components during overload conditions.

PWM mode implements current limiting using an internal comparator that trips at 2 A for both bucks (typical). If

the output is shorted to ground the device enters a timed current limit mode where the NFET is turned on for a

longer duration until the inductor current falls below a low threshold, ensuring inductor current has more time to

decay, thereby preventing runaway.

8.3.1.2.6 PFM Operation

At very light loads, the converter enters PFM mode and operates with reduced switching frequency and supply

current to maintain high efficiency.

The part will automatically transition into PFM mode when either of two conditions occurs for a duration of 32 or

more clock cycles:

1. The inductor current becomes discontinuous, or

2. The peak PMOS switch current drops below the IMODE level.

During PFM operation, the converter positions the output voltage slightly higher than the nominal output voltage

during PWM operation, allowing additional headroom for voltage drop during a load transient from light to heavy

load. The PFM comparators sense the output voltage via the feedback pin and control the switching of the output

FETs such that the output voltage ramps between 0.8% and 1.6% (typical) above the nominal PWM output

voltage. If the output voltage is below the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold, the PMOS power switch is turned on.

It remains on until the output voltage exceeds the high PFM threshold or the peak current exceeds the IPFM level

set for PFM mode. The typical peak current in PFM mode is:

(4)

Once the PMOS power switch is turned off, the NMOS power switch is turned on until the inductor current ramps

to zero. When the NMOS zero-current condition is detected, the NMOS power switch is turned off. If the output

voltage is below the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold (see Figure 20), the PMOS switch is again turned on and

the cycle is repeated until the output reaches the desired level. Once the output reaches the ‘high’ PFM

threshold, the NMOS switch is turned on briefly to ramp the inductor current to zero and then both output

switches are turned off and the part enters an extremely low power mode. Quiescent supply current during this

‘sleep’ mode is less than 30 µA, which allows the part to achieve high efficiencies under extremely light load

conditions. When the output drops below the low PFM threshold, the cycle repeats to restore the output voltage

to approximately 1.6% above the nominal PWM output voltage.

If the load current should increase during PFM mode (see Figure 20) causing the output voltage to fall below the

‘low2’ PFM threshold, the part will automatically transition into fixed-frequency PWM mode.

8.3.1.2.7 SW1, SW2 Control

SW1 and SW2 are enabled/disabled through the external enable pins.

The Modulation mode PWM/PFM is by default automatic and depends on the load (see Functional Description).

The modulation mode can be factory trimmed, forcing the buck to operate in PWM mode regardless of the load

condition.

Figure 20. PWM/PFM Modulation

8.3.1.2.8 Shutdown Mode

During shutdown the PFET switch, reference, control and bias circuitry of the converters are turned off. The

NFET switch will be on in shutdown to discharge the output. When the converter is enabled, soft start is

activated. Disabling the converter during the system power up and undervoltage conditions is recommended

when the supply is less than 2.8 V.

SNVSA58C –JANUARY 2015–REVISED NOVEMBER 2017

Product Folder Links: LM26480-Q1

8.3.1.2.9 Soft Start

The soft-start feature allows the power converter to gradually reach the initial steady state operating point, thus

reducing start-up stresses and surges. The two LM26480-Q1 buck converters have a soft-start circuit that limits

in-rush current during start-up. During start-up the switch current limit is increased in steps. Soft start is activated

only if EN goes from logic low to logic high after VIN reaches 2.8 V. Soft start is implemented by increasing switch

current limit in steps of 250 mA, 500 mA, 950 mA, and 2 A for both bucks (typical switch current limit). The start-

up time thereby depends on the output capacitor and load current demanded at start-up.

8.3.1.2.10 Low Dropout Operation

The LM26480-Q1 can operate at 100% duty cycle (no switching; PMOS switch completely on) for low dropout

support of the output voltage. In this way the output voltage will be controlled down to the lowest possible input

voltage. When the device operates near 100% duty cycle, output voltage ripple is approximately 25 mV. The

minimum input voltage needed to support the output voltage is

VIN, MIN = ILOAD × (RDSON, PFET + RINDUCTOR)+VOUT

where

• ILOAD = Load current

• RDSON, PFET = Drain to source resistance of PFET switch in the triode region

• RINDUCTOR = Inductor resistance (5)

8.3.1.2.11 Flexible Power-On Reset (Power Good with Delay)

The LM26480-Q1 is equipped with an internal Power-On-Reset (POR) circuit which monitors the output voltage

levels on bucks 1 and 2. The nPOR is an open drain logic output which is logic LOW when either of the buck

outputs are below 92% of the rising value, or when one or both outputs fall below 82% of the desired value. The

time delay between output voltage level and nPOR is enabled is (130 µs, 60 ms, 100 ms, 200 ms), 60 ms by

default. For any other delay option, other than the default, please consult a Texas Instruments Sales

Representative. The system designer can choose the external pull-up resistor (value such as 100 kΩ) for the

nPOR pin.

Figure 21. nPOR with Counter Delay

Figure 21 shows the simplest application of the POR where both switcher enables are tied together. In Case 1,

EN1 causes nPOR to transition LOW and triggers the nPOR delay counter. If the power supply for Buck2 does

not come on within that period, nPOR will stay LOW, indicating a power fail mode. Case 2 indicates the vice

versa scenario if Buck1 supply did not come on. In both cases the nPOR remains LOW. Case 3 shows a typical

application of the POR, where both switcher enables are tied together. Even if RDY1 ramps up slightly faster

than RDY2 (or vice versa), the nPOR signal will trigger a programmable delay before going HIGH, as explained

below.

Figure 22. Faults Occurring in Counter Delay after Start-Up

Figure 22 details the Power Good with delay with respect to the enable signals EN1, and EN2. The RDY1, RDY2

are internal signals derived from the output of two comparators. Each comparator has been trimmed as follows:

Table 4. Comparator Trim

COMPARATOR LEVEL BUCK SUPPLY LEVEL

HIGH Greater than 92%

LOW Less than 82%

The circuits for EN1 and RDY1 are symmetrical to EN2 and RDY2, so each reference to EN1 and RDY1 will also

work for EN2 and RDY2 and vice versa.

If EN1 and RDY1 signals are High at time t1, then the RDY1 signal rising edge triggers the programmable delay

counter (130 μs, 60 ms, 100 ms, 200 ms). This delay forces nPOR LOW between time interval t1 and t2. NPOR

is then pulled high after the programmable delay is completed. Now if EN2 and RDY2 are initiated during this

interval the nPOR signal ignores this event.

If either RDY1or RDY2 were to go LOW at t3 then the programmable delay is triggered again.

Figure 23. nPOR Mask Window

In Case 1 (Figure 23), we see that case where EN2 and RDY2 are initiated after triggered programmable delay.

To prevent the nPOR being asserted again, a masked window (5 ms) counter delay is triggered off the EN2

rising edge. NPOR is still held HIGH for the duration of the mask, whereupon the nPOR status afterwards will

depend on the status of both RDY1 and RDY2 lines.

In Case 2, we see the case where EN2 is initiated after the RDY1 triggered programmable delay, but RDY2

never goes HIGH (Buck2 never turns on). Normal operation operation of nPOR occurs wilth respect to EN1 and

RDY1, and the nPOR signal is held HIGH for the duration of the mask window. We see that nPOR goes LOW

after the masking window has timed out because it is now dependent on RDY1 and RDY2, where RDY2 is LOW.

Figure 24. Design Implementation of the Flexible Power-On Reset

Design implementation of the flexible power-on reset. An internal power-on reset of the IC is used with EN1 and

EN2 to produce a reset signal (LOW) to the delay timer nPOR. EN1 and RDY1 or EN2 and RDY2 are used to

generate the set signal (HIGH) to the delay timer. S = R = 1 never occurs. The mask timers are triggered off EN1

and EN2 which are gated with RDY1, and RDY2 to generate outputs to the final AND gate to generate the

nPOR.

8.3.1.2.12 Undervoltage Lockout

The LM26480-Q1 features an undervoltage lockout circuit. The function of this circuit is to continuously monitor

the raw input supply voltage (VINLDO12) and automatically disable the four voltage regulators whenever this

supply voltage is less than 2.8 VDC.

The circuit incorporates a bandgap based circuit that establishes the reference used to determine the 2.8 VDC

trip point for a VIN OK – Not OK detector. This VIN OK signal is then used to gate the enable signals to the four

regulators of the LM26480-Q1. When VINLDO12 is greater than 2.8 VDC the four enables control the four

regulators; when VINLDO12 is less than 2.8 VDC the four regulators are disabled by the VIN detector being in

the Not OK state. The circuit has built-in hysteresis to prevent undesired signal variations.

8.4 Device Functional Modes

There are two user-controlled modes of operations. The auto switch-over or auto-mode for the buck converters is

that at high output current the regulator operates in the PWM mode. When the output draws relatively low

current, in the neighborhood of 100 mA or less, the regulator automatically switches to the power-saving PFM

mode. However, in the PFM mode, the switching frequency changes proportional to the amount of loading. In

some applications it is not desirable to have variable switching frequencies. Hence, the forced PWM (FPWM)

mode can be selected to retain a fixed nominal operating frequency to avoid interference or modulation issues in

a system at the expense of slightly increased power consumption at light loads.

Typical Application (continued)

9.2.1 Design Requirements

9.2.1.1 High VIN- High Load Operation

Additional information is provided when the device is operated at extremes of VIN and regulator loads. These are

described in terms of the junction temperature and buck output ripple management.

9.2.1.2 Junction Temperature

The maximum junction temperature TJ-MAX-OP of 125°C of the device package.

Equation 8 and Equation 9 demonstrate junction temperature determination, ambient temperature TA-MAX, and

total chip power must be controlled to keep TJbelow this maximum:

TJ-MAX-OP = TA-MAX + (RθJA) [°C/Watt] × (PD-MAX) [Watts] (8)

Total IC power dissipation PD-MAX is the sum of the individual power dissipation of the four regulators plus a minor

amount for chip overhead. Chip overhead is bias, TSD, and LDO analog.

where

•ηis the efficiency for the specific condition is taken from efficiency graphs. (9)

If VIN and ILOAD increase, the output ripple associated with the buck regulators also increases. This mainly occurs

with VIN > 5.2 V and a load current greater than 1.2 A. To ensure operation in this area of operation, TI

recommends that the system designer circumvents the output ripple issues by installing Schottky diodes on the

bucks(s) that are expected to perform under these extreme conditions.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

9.2.2.1 Output Inductors and Capacitors for SW1 AND SW2

There are several design considerations related to the selection of output inductors and capacitors:

• Load transient response;

• Stability;

• Efficiency;

• Output ripple voltage; and

• Overcurrent ruggedness.

The LM26480-Q1 has been optimized for use with nominal values 2.2 µH and 10 µF. If other values are needed

for the design, please contact Texas Instruments sales with any concerns.

9.2.2.1.1 Inductor Selection for SW1 and SW2

TI recommends a nominal inductor value of 2.2 µH. It is important to ensure the inductor core does not saturate

during any foreseeable operational situation.

Care should be taken when reviewing the different saturation current ratings that are specified by different

manufacturers. Saturation current ratings are typically specified at 25°C, so ratings at maximum ambient

temperature of the application should be requested from the manufacturer.

There are two methods to choose the inductor saturation current rating:

Recommended method:

IRIPPLE

VCOUT = 8 x F x COUT

VROUT = IRIPPLE x ESRCOUT

VPPOUT = VCOUT2 + VROUT2

ISAT > ILPEAK

ILPEAK = IOUTMAX + IRIPPLE

IRIPPLE = (VIN ± VOUT)

L x F

D x

D = VOUT

VIN x EFF

Product Folder Links: LM26480-Q1

Typical Application (continued)

The best way to ensure the inductor does not saturate is to choose an inductor that has saturation current rating

greater than the maximum LM26480-Q1 current limit of 2.4 A. In this case the device prevents inductor

saturation.

Alternate method:

If the recommended approach cannot be used, care must be taken to ensure that the saturation current is

greater than the peak inductor current:

• ISAT: Inductor saturation current at operating temperature

• ILPEAK: Peak inductor current during worst case conditions

• IOUTMAX: Maximum average inductor current

• IRIPPLE: Peak-to-peak inductor current

• VOUT: Output voltage

• VIN: Input voltage

• L: Inductor value in Henries at IOUTMAX

• F: Switching frequency, Hertz

• D: Estimated duty factor

• EFF: Estimated power supply efficiency (10)

ISAT may not be exceeded during any operation, including transients, start-up, high temperature, worst-case

conditions, etc.

(ESR) voltage component of the output capacitor.

Product Folder Links: LM26480-Q1

The output capacitor needs to be mounted as close as possible to the output pin of the device. For better

temperature performance, X7R or X5R types are recommended. DC bias characteristics of ceramic capacitors

must be considered when selecting case sizes like 0805 and 0603.

DC bias characteristics vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and by case size. DC bias curves should be

requested from them as part of the capacitor selection process. ESR is typically higher for smaller packages.

The output filter capacitor smooths out current flow from the inductor to the load, helps maintain a steady output

voltage during transient load changes and reduces output voltage ripple. These capacitors must be selected with

sufficient capacitance and sufficiently low ESR to perform these functions.

Note that the output voltage ripple is dependent on the inductor current ripple and the equivalent series

resistance of the output capacitor (ESRCOUT). ESRCOUT is frequency dependent as well as temperature

dependent. The RESR should be calculated with the applicable switching frequency and ambient temperature.

9.2.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection for SW1 and SW2

It is required to use a ceramic input capacitor of at least 4.7 μF and 6.3 V with an ESR of less than 500 mΩ.

The input power source supplies average current continuously. During the PFET switch on-time, however, the

demanded di/dt is higher than can be typically supplied by the input power source. This delta is supplied by the

input capacitor.

A simplified “worst case” assumption is that all of the PFET current is supplied by the input capacitor. This will

result in conservative estimates of input ripple voltage and capacitor RMS current. Input ripple voltage is

estimated in Equation 12:

• VPPIN: Estimated peak-to-peak input ripple voltage

• IOUT: Output current, Amps

• CIN: Input capacitor value, Farads

• ESRIN: Input capacitor ESR, Ohms (12)

This capacitor is exposed to significant RMS current, so it is important to select a capacitor with an adequate

RMS current rating. Capacitor RMS current estimated as follows:

• IRSCIN: Estimated input capacitor RMS current (13)

9.2.2.4 LDO Capacitor Selection

9.2.2.4.1 Input Capacitor

An input capacitor is required for stability. TI recommends that a 1-μF capacitor be connected between the LDO

input pin and ground (this capacitance value may be increased without limit). This capacitor must be located a

distance of not more than 1 cm from the input pin and returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality

ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be used at the input.

CAUTION

Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failures due to surge currents when

connected to a low impedance source of power (like a battery or a very large

capacitor). If a tantalum capacitor is used at the input, it must be specified by the

manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient for the application.

There are no requirements for the ESR on the input capacitor, but tolerance and

temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the

capacitance will remain approximately 1 μF over the entire operating temperature

range.

9.2.2.4.2 Output Capacitor

The LDOs on the LM26480-Q1 are designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. A 1-

μF ceramic capacitor (temperature types Z5U, Y5V, or X7R) with ESR between 5 mΩto 500 mΩ, are suitable in

the application circuit. It is also possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device output COUT (or VOUT),

but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost. The output capacitor must meet the requirement for

the minimum value of capacitance and also have an ESR value that is within the range 5 mΩto 500 mΩfor

stability.

9.2.2.4.3 Capacitor Characteristics

The LDOs are designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the output to take advantage of the benefits they

offer. For capacitance values in the range of 0.47 μF to 4.7 μF, ceramic capacitors are the smallest, least

expensive and have the lowest ESR values, thus making them best for eliminating high frequency noise. The

ESR of a typical 1-μF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 20 mΩto 40 mΩ, which easily meets the ESR

requirement for stability for the LDOs.

For both input and output capacitors, careful interpretation of the capacitor specification is required to ensure

correct device operation. The capacitor value can change greatly, depending on the operating conditions and

capacitor type.

In particular, the output capacitor selection should take account of all the capacitor parameters, to ensure that the

specification is met within the application. The capacitance can vary with DC bias conditions as well as

temperature and frequency of operation. Capacitor values will also show some decrease over time due to aging.

The capacitor parameters are also dependent on the particular case size, with smaller sizes giving poorer

performance figures in general. As an example, Figure 27 shows a typical graph comparing different capacitor

case sizes in a capacitance vs. DC bias plot.

Figure 27. Capacitance vs DC Bias

As shown in Figure 27, increasing the DC bias condition can result in the capacitance value that falls below the

minimum value given in the recommended capacitor specifications table. Note that the graph shows the

capacitance out of spec for the 0402 case size capacitor at higher bias voltages. It is therefore recommended

that the capacitor manufacturers’ specifications for the nominal value capacitor are consulted for all conditions,

as some capacitor sizes (such as 0402) may not be suitable in the actual application.

The ceramic capacitor’s capacitance can vary with temperature. The capacitor type X7R, which operates over a

temperature range of −55°C to 125°C, will only vary the capacitance to within ±15%. The capacitor type X5R has

a similar tolerance over a reduced temperature range of −55°C to 85°C. Many large value ceramic capacitors,

larger than 1 μF are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics. Their capacitance can drop by

more than 50% as the temperature varies from 25°C to 85°C. Therefore X7R is recommended over Z5U and

Y5V in applications where the ambient temperature will change significantly above or below 25°C.

Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use as output capacitors because they are more

expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the 0.47-μF to 4.7-μF range. Another

important consideration is that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent size ceramics. This

means that while it may be possible to find a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the stable range, it

would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly) than a ceramic capacitor with the

same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical tantalum will increase about 2:1 as the

temperature goes from 25°C down to −40°C, so some guard band must be allowed.

10 Power Supply Recommendations

All power inputs should be tied to the main VDD source (that is, a battery), unless the user wishes to power it

from another source. (that is, powering LDO from Buck output).

The analog VDD inputs power the internal bias and error amplifiers, so they should be tied to the main VDD. The

analog VDD inputs must have an input voltage between 2.8 V and 5.5 V, as specified in the Recommended

Operating Conditions: Bucks section of this datasheet.

The other VIN pins (VINLDO1, VINLDO2, VIN1, VIN2) can actually have inputs lower than 2.8 V, as long as they

are higher than the programmed output (0.3 V). The analog and digital grounds should be tied together outside

of the chip to reduce noise coupling.

11 Layout

11.1 Layout Guidelines

PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance

of a DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss

ii the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter device, resulting in poor regulation or

instability. Poor layout can also result in re-flow problems leading to poor solder joints, which can result in erratic

or degraded performance.

Good layout for the LM26480-Q1 bucks can be implemented by following a few simple design rules, as shown in

Figure 34.

1. Place the buck inductor and filter capacitors close together and make the trace short. The traces between

these components carry relatively high switching currents and act as antennas. Following this rule reduces

radiated noise. Place the capacitors and inductor close to the buck.

2. Arrange the components so that the switching current loops curl in the same direction. During the first halt of

each cycle, current flows from the input filter capacitor, through the buck and inductor to the output filter

capacitor and back through ground, forming a current loop. In the second half of each cycle, current is pulled

up from ground, through the buck by the inductor, to the output filter capacitor and then back through ground,

forming a second current loop. Routing these loops so the current curls in the same direction prevents

magnetic field reversal between the two half-cycles and reduces radiated noise.

3. Connect the ground pins of the buck, and filter capacitors together using generous component-side copper

fill as a pseudo-ground plane. Then connect this to the ground-plane (if one is used) with several vias. This

reduces ground–plane noise by preventing the switching currents from circulating through the ground plane.

It also reduces ground bounce at the buck by giving it a low-impedance ground connection.

4. Use wide traces between the power components and for power connections to the DC-DC converter circuit.

This reduces voltage errors caused by resistive losses across the traces

5. ROUT noise sensitive traces, such as the voltage feedback path, away from noisy traces between the power

components. The voltage feedback trace must remain close to the buck circuit and should be routed directly

from FB to VOUT at the output capacitor and must be routed opposite to noise components. This reduces

EMI radiated onto the DC-DC converter’s own voltage feedback trace.

In mobile phones, for example, a common practice is to place the DC-DC converter on one corner of the board,

arrange the CMOS digital circuitry around it (because this also generates noise), and then place sensitive

preamplifiers and IF stages on the diagonally opposing corner. Often, the sensitive circuitry is shielded with a

metal pan and power to it is post-regulated to reduce conducted noise, using low-dropout linear regulators.

For more information on board layout techniques, refer to AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) on TI's

website. This application note also discusses package handling, solder stencil, and the assembly process.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its

semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers

should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.

TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated

circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and

services.

Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is

accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced

documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements

different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the

associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.

Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers

remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have

full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products

used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with

respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous

consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and

take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will

thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.

TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,

including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to

assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any

way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource

solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.

TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI

products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,

enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically

described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.

Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that

include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE

TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or

other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information

regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or

endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the

third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.

TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR

REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL

PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,

INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF

PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,

DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN

CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949

and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.

Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such

products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards

and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must

ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in

life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.

Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life

support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all

medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.

TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).

Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications

and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory

requirements in connection with such selection.

Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-

compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
