Pin Configuration

PinNameDescription
1VINSupply input -Nominal operating range is 6V to 42V . A small amount of internal capacitance is contained within the package assembly. Additional external input capacitance is required between this pin and exposed pad.
2RONOn Time Resistor -An external resistor from V IN to this pin sets the on-time of the application. Typical values range from 25k to 124k ohms.
3ENEnable -Input to the precision enable comparator. Rising threshold is 1.18V nominal; 90 mV hysteresis nominal. Maximum recommended input level is 6.5V.
4GNDGround -Reference point for all stated voltages. Must be externally connected to EP.
5SSSoft-Start -An internal 8 μA current source charges an external capacitor to produce the soft-start function. This node is discharged at 200 μA during disable, over-current, thermal shutdown and internal UVLO conditions.
6FBFeedback -Internally connected to the regulation, over-voltage, and short-circuit comparators. The regulation reference point is 0.8V at this input pin. Connected the feedback resistor divider between the output and ground to set the output voltage.

  • (2) The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 k Ω resistor into each pin. Test method is per JESD-22-114.

Thermal Information

For the design case of VIN = 24V, VO = 3.3V, IO = 1A, TAMB(MAX) = 85°C , and TJUNCTION = 125°C, the device must see a thermal resistance from case to ambient of less than:

Given the typical thermal resistance from junction to case to be 1.9 °C/W. Use the 85°C power dissipation curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section to estimate the PIC-LOSS for the application being designed. In this application it is 0.52W.

θ

CA

= (125 - 85) / 0.52W - 1.9 = 75

To reach θ CA = 75, the PCB is required to dissipate heat effectively. With no airflow and no external heat, a good estimate of the required board area covered by 1 oz. copper on both the top and bottom metal layers is:

As a result, approximately 6 square cm of 1 oz copper on top and bottom layers is required for the PCB design. Additional area will decrease die temperature proportionately. The PCB copper heat sink must be connected to the exposed pad. Approximately thirty six, 8mils thermal vias spaced 59mils (1.5 mm) apart must connect the top copper to the bottom copper. For an example of a high thermal performance PCB layout of approximately 31 square cm area. Refer to the Evaluation Board application note AN-2024 SNVA422. For more information on thermal design see AN-2020 SNVA419 and AN-2026 SNVA424.

Typical Application

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
