LM2738 550-kHz/1.6-MHz 1.5-A Step-Down DC-DC Switching Regulator  
1 Features  
3 Description  
The LM2738 regulator is  
frequency, PWM step-down DC-DC converter in an 8-  
pin WSON or 8-pin MSOP-PowerPAD package. It  
provides all the active functions for local DC-DC  
conversion with fast transient response and accurate  
regulation in the smallest possible PCB area.

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

(2) Typical thermal shutdown occurs if the junction temperature exceeds 165°C. The maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(MAX)  
,
RθJA and TA . The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is PD = (TJ(MAX) – TA) / RθJA. All numbers apply for  
packages soldered directly onto a 3 inches × 3 inches PC board with 2 oz. copper on 4 layers in still air in accordance to JEDEC  
standards. Thermal resistance varies greatly with layout, copper thickness, number of layers in PCB, power distribution, number of  
thermal vias, board size, ambient temperature, and air flow.

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

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

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

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

Figure 27. Zener Reduces Boost Voltage from VIN  
An alternative method is to place the Zener diode D3 in a shunt configuration as shown in Figure 28. A small  
350-mW to 500-mW 5.1-V Zener in a SOT-23 or SOD package can be used for this purpose. A small ceramic  
capacitor such as a 6.3-V, 0.1-µF capacitor (C4) must be placed in parallel with the Zener diode. When the  
internal NMOS switch turns on, a pulse of current is drawn to charge the internal NMOS gate capacitance. The  
0.1-µF parallel shunt capacitor ensures that the VBOOST voltage is maintained during this time.

Figure 28. Boost Voltage Supplied from the Shunt Zener on VIN  
Resistor R3 must be selected to provide enough RMS current to the Zener diode (D3) and to the BOOST pin. A  
recommended choice for the Zener current (IZENER) is 1 mA. The current IBOOST into the BOOST pin supplies the  
gate current of the NMOS control switch and varies typically according to the formula in Equation 5 for the X  
version:  
IBOOST = 0.56 × (D + 0.54) × (VZENER – VD2) mA  
(5)  
IBOOST can be calculated for the Y version using Equation 6:  
IBOOST = 0.22 × (D + 0.54) × (VZENER – VD2) µA  
where  
D is the duty cycle  
VZENER and VD2 are in volts  
IBOOST is in milliamps  
VZENER is the voltage applied to the anode of the boost diode (D2)  
VD2 is the average forward voltage across D2  
(6)  
The formula for IBOOST in Equation 6 gives typical current. For the worst case IBOOST, increase the current by  
40%. In that case, the worst case boost current is Equation 7:  
IBOOST-MAX = 1.4 × IBOOST  
(7)  
R3 is then given by Equation 8:  
R3 = (VIN – VZENER) / (1.4 × IBOOST + IZENER  
)
(8)  
For example, using the X-version let VIN = 10 V, VZENER = 5 V, VD2 = 0.7 V, IZENER = 1 mA, and duty cycle  
D = 50%. Then Equation 9 and Equation 10:  
IBOOST = 0.56 × (0.5 + 0.54) × (5 – 0.7) mA = 2.5 mA  
(9)  
R3 = (10 V – 5 V) / (1.4 × 2.5 mA + 1 mA) = 1.11 k  
(10)  
7.3.2 Soft-Start  
This function forces VOUT to increase at a controlled rate during start-up. During soft-start, the error amplifier’s  
reference voltage ramps from 0 V to its nominal value of 0.8 V in approximately 600 µs. This forces the regulator  
output to ramp up in a more linear and controlled fashion, which helps reduce in-rush current.  
7.3.3 Output Overvoltage Protection  
The overvoltage comparator compares the FB pin voltage to a voltage that is 16% higher than the internal  
reference VREF. Once the FB pin voltage goes 16% above the internal reference, the internal NMOS control  
switch is turned off, which allows the output voltage to decrease toward regulation.

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

8 Application and Implementation  
NOTE  
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component  
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are  
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers must  
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.  
8.1 Application Information  
The LM2738 operates over a wide range of conditions, which is limited by the ON time of the device. Figure 29  
shows the recommended operating area for the X version at the full load (1.5 A) and at 25°C ambient  
temperature. The Y version of the LM2738 operates at a lower frequency, and therefore operates over the entire  
range of operating voltages.

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

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

When selecting an inductor, make sure that it is capable of supporting the peak output current without saturating.  
Inductor saturation results in a sudden reduction in inductance and prevents the regulator from operating  
correctly. Because of the speed of the internal current limit, the peak current of the inductor need only be  
specified for the required maximum output current. For example, if the designed maximum output current is 1 A  
and the peak current is 1.25 A, the inductor must be specified with a saturation current limit of > 1.25 A. There is  
no must specify the saturation or peak current of the inductor at the 2.9-A typical switch current limit. Because of  
the operating frequency of the LM2738, ferrite based inductors are preferred to minimize core losses. This  
presents little restriction because of the variety of ferrite-based inductors available. Lastly, inductors with lower  
series resistance (RDCR) provide better operating efficiency. For recommended inductors see LM2738X Circuit  
Example 1.  
8.2.1.2.2 Input Capacitor  
An input capacitor is necessary to ensure that VIN does not drop excessively during switching transients. The  
primary specifications of the input capacitor are capacitance, voltage, RMS current rating, and equivalent series  
inductance (ESL). The recommended input capacitance is 10 µF. The input voltage rating is specifically stated by  
the capacitor manufacturer. Make sure to check any recommended deratings and also verify if there is any  
significant change in capacitance at the operating input voltage and the operating temperature. The input  
capacitor maximum RMS input current rating (IRMS-IN) must be greater than Equation 18:  
2Di  
é
L ù  
IRMS _IN D IOUT2 (1-D)+  
ê
ú
3
ë
û
(18)  
Neglecting inductor ripple simplifies Equation 18 to Equation 19:  
RMS _IN = IOUT ´ D(1-D)  
I
(19)  
Equation 19 shows that maximum RMS capacitor current occurs when D = 0.5. Always calculate the RMS at the  
point where the duty cycle D is closest to 0.5. The ESL of an input capacitor is usually determined by the  
effective cross-sectional area of the current path. A large leaded capacitor has high ESL and a 0805 ceramic-  
chip capacitor has very low ESL. At the operating frequencies of the LM2738, leaded capacitors may have an  
ESL so large that the resulting impedance (2πfL) is higher than that required to provide stable operation. As a  
result, surface-mount capacitors are strongly recommended.  
Sanyo POSCAP, Tantalum or Niobium, Panasonic SP, and multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are all good  
choices for both input and output capacitors and have very low ESL. For MLCCs, TI recommends using X7R or  
X5R type capacitors due to their tolerance and temperature characteristics. Consult the capacitor manufacturer's  
data sheets to see how rated capacitance varies over operating conditions.  
8.2.1.2.3 Output Capacitor  
The output capacitor is selected based upon the desired output ripple and transient response. The initial current  
of a load transient is provided mainly by the output capacitor. The output ripple of the converter is Equation 20:

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

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

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

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

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

10.2 Layout Example

10.3 Thermal Considerations  
Heat in the LM2738 due to internal power dissipation is removed through conduction and/or convection.  
Conduction: Heat transfer occurs through cross sectional areas of material. Depending on the material, the  
transfer of heat can be considered to have poor to good thermal conductivity properties (insulator vs. conductor).  
Heat Transfer goes as:  
Silicon package lead frame PCB  
Convection: Heat transfer is by means of airflow. This could be from a fan or natural convection. Natural  
convection occurs when air currents rise from the hot device to cooler air.  
Thermal impedance is defined as Equation 40:  
DT  
Rq =  
Power  
(40)  
Thermal impedance from the silicon junction to the ambient air is defined as Equation 41:  
TJ -TA  
RqJA  
=
Power  
(41)  
The PCB size, weight of copper used to route traces and ground plane, and number of layers within the PCB can  
greatly effect RθJA. The type and number of thermal vias can also make a large difference in the thermal  
impedance. Thermal vias are necessary in most applications. They conduct heat from the surface of the PCB to  
the ground plane. Four to six thermal vias must be placed under the exposed pad to the ground plane if the  
WSON package is used.  
Thermal impedance also depends on the thermal properties due to the application's operating conditions (VIN,  
VO, IO and so forth), and the surrounding circuitry.  
10.3.1 Silicon Junction Temperature Determination Methods  
To accurately measure the silicon temperature for a given application, two methods can be used.  
10.3.1.1 Method 1  
The first method requires the user to know the thermal impedance of the silicon junction to top case temperature.

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

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:  
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.  
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.  
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.  
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.  
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.  
(2) RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance  
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may  
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".  
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.  
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based  
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.  
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.  
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.  
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation  
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.  
(6)  
Lead finish/Ball material - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead finish/Ball material values may wrap to two  
lines if the finish value exceeds the maximum column width.
