FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LM3248 is a PWM/PFM Boost-Buck DC/DC  
2
Output Voltage VOUT Adjustable from 0.4V to  
4.0V (typ.)  
converter that provides efficient utilization of battery  
power over a wide voltage range. The device  
architecture is suitable for advanced RF front-end  
systems that demand dynamic voltage and current to  
support converged power amplifier architectures  
operating in 2G/3G/4G and 3GPP/LTE modes. For  
example, the LM3248 is designed to produce higher  
output voltages while maintaining PFM mode as  
required by some new reduced-power CMOS PAs.  
The extremely fast Boost-Buck function reduces RF  
PA overhead power dissipation, extending battery talk  
time. The device will operate at input voltage VIN  
range of 2.7V to 5.5V and an adjustable output  
voltage VOUT range of 0.4V to 4.0V at a maximum  
current load of 2.5A.  
Input Voltage Range VIN from 2.7V to 5.5V

DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)  
The LM3248 utilizes step-up (Boost) and variable output step-down (Buck) DC/DC converters. Combining a  
cascaded Boost and Buck converter in a single package is ideal for powering the latest multimode/multi-standard  
RF power amplifiers. The Boost converter provides the RF power subsystem the capability to operate at lower  
battery voltages as well as to maintain increased PA linearity and transmit power margins over a wider battery  
voltage supply range.  
The Buck has a unique Active Current assist and analog Bypass (ACB) feature to minimize inductor size without  
any loss of output regulation for the entire battery voltage and RF output power range, until dropout. ACB  
provides a parallel current path, when needed, to limit the maximum inductor current while still driving a 2.5A  
load. The LM3248 may also be configured as a Buck-only converter with a boost bypass feature to enable  
highest efficiency operation with minimal dropout voltage when the Boost is not needed.  
The LM3248 automatically and seamlessly transitions between Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Pulse  
Frequency Modulation (PFM) modes for high-efficiency operation with both full and light load conditions.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with  
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.  
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more  
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Human Body Model  
(1) Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings  
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating  
conditions is not implied. 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 pins. The LM3248 is designed for mobile phone applications where turn-on after  
power-up is controlled by the system controller, and where requirements for a small package size overrule increased die size for internal  
Under Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO) circuitry. Thus, it should be kept in shutdown by holding the EN pin low until the input voltage exceeds  
2.5V.  
(3) Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ = 150°C (typ.) and  
disengages at TJ < 130°C (typ.).  
(4) The Human Body Model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kresistor into each pin. (MIL-STD-883 3015.7)

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
The LM3248 is a high-efficiency boost-buck DC/DC converter used in mobile phones and other battery-powered  
RF devices to improve overall system efficiency by tailoring RF PA stage supply rail voltages to RF output power  
levels. The LM3248 optimizes efficiency over a wide range of power levels when using Li polymer battery cells  
operating as low as 2.7V.  
The LM3248 architecture is comprised of a step-up (boost) DC/DC switching converter followed by a step-down  
(buck) DC/DC switching converter. This cascaded boost-buck architecture allows the device to support output  
voltages that are either above or below the input battery voltage, while simultaneously providing excellent output  
transient and noise performance. See Figure 27 for more details. The LM3248 minimizes 3G/4G/4G-LTE  
Advanced current consumption in User Equipment (UE) transmit power distribution environments and, in  
addition, supports higher power 2G functionality.

Figure 27. Typical Application: Boost-Buck  
Boost Converter  
The Boost DC/DC converter enables the LM3248 to support output voltages that are either above or below the  
input battery voltage. The Boost converter can be operated in either Boost or Boost-Bypass (Buck Only) modes.  
Both modes of operation require the device to be enabled (ENABLE) and either 2G or 3G/4G mode (MODE) to  
be selected. Boost mode automatically engages the boost circuit when needed and requires an additional digital  
control signal, BOOST_GATE. The Buck output settles to new VCON levels approximately 45 µs after  
BOOST_GATE transitions from LOW to HIGH (see Figure 2).  
The Boost converter output (OUT_BOOST) is externally (and internally) connected to the Buck input  
(PVIN_BUCK) supply voltage. The Boost converter enables increased PA efficiency and higher linearity at higher  
Tx power settings when the battery voltage is lower than normally required. A unique synchronization scheme  
allows the Boost and Buck voltage transitions to occur with minimal time-critical programming. The LM3248  
should be operated in Boost-Bypass mode (Buck-Only, BOOST_GATE=LOW) when it is known that the Buck  
output voltage will be lower than the battery voltage, such as at low transmit RF power levels. This practice  
reduces unnecessary battery drain caused by boost bias circuits and improves efficiency.  
When Boost operation is selected (BOOST_GATE=HIGH), the LM3248 monitors the input voltage and compares  
it with the VCON output control voltage setting. The Boost circuit is activated on the rising edge of  
BOOST_GATE when VBOOST, the target boost output voltage, is greater than the input or battery voltage (VBATT  
)
to achieve the desired output voltage level, according to the equations:

VBOOST = VCON * 2.5 + 0 mV [VBOOST > VBATT] (3G or 4G mode)  
or  
VBOOST = VCON * 2.5 + 125 mV [VBOOST > VBATT] (2G mode)  
Once in Boost mode, the Boost voltage automatically adjusts according to the following equations:  
VBOOST = VCON * 2.5 + 450 mV [VBOOST > VBATT] (3G or 4G mode)  
or  
VBOOST = VCON * 2.5 + 950 mV [VBOOST > VBATT] (2G mode)  
In Boost mode, internal circuitry will automatically engage the large bypass switch to prevent the Boost output  
from ever falling below the battery voltage, VBATT, by more than a few hundred millivolts (200 mV typ.) when  
Boost-Bypass conditions are not met. This functionality is described below.  
When operating in Boost mode, the BOOST_GATE signal should be toggled between HIGH and LOW logic  
levels at a rate synchronous with the Transmission Time Interval (TTI) frame, per the Startup Timing  
requirements given in Figure 2. This provides sufficient setup time for the Boost bias circuits to activate before  
the new (possibly higher) Buck output level is updated, ensuring a smooth transition between levels.  
Note that VBOOST programmed output levels are determined by the VCON command voltage; not by the Buck  
DC/DC converter output voltage, VCC_PA. This is necessary to minimize Boost output voltage tracking delay  
times.

Boost-Bypass Function  
The LM3248 provides a bypass function with very low dropout resistance when the Boost stage is not needed to  
support the output voltage requirements. The Boost circuit automatically enters Boost-Bypass mode when  
BOOST_GATE is high and the VCON voltage is approximately less than VCON(max), as shown below:

In Boost-Bypass mode, the low resistance (75 mtyp.) bypass circuit effectively connects the PVIN_BOOST and  
OUT_BOOST pins in parallel with the boost inductor and boost output power transistor. The Boost-Bypass circuit  
is active at all times when BOOST_GATE=LOW. When Boost-Bypass is active, the minimum total dropout  
resistance of the path between the PVIN_BOOST and OUT_BOOST pins is 60 m(typ.). The Boost-Bypass  
mode of operation is valid for 2.7V < VBATT < 5.5V.

Buck Converter  
The Buck converter output voltage, VCC_PA, is directly proportional to the VCON control voltage, which level is  
determined by the applications processor, BBIC or RFIC RF output Power Amplifier control algorithm. The user  
can dynamically program the Buck output voltage from 0.4V to 4.0V (typ.) by adjusting the VCON voltage setting,  
per the equation: VCC_PA = VCON * 2.5.  
The LM3248 has been designed to make rapid, smooth VCC_PA output transitions required by fast 3G/4G and 2G  
burst ramp profiles.  
The current consumption of RF Power Amplifier modules (RF PAs) typically increases with supply voltage.  
Accordingly, DC/DC converter output power requirements increase as the RF PA module VCC_PA voltages  
increase. Two operating methods, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM), are  
used to optimize system efficiency over a range of PA power levels. When the LM3248 is not needed, the device  
can be set to shutdown mode (ENABLE = LOW) to minimize battery current drain. Current overload protection  
and thermal overload shutdown are also provided.  
2G vs. 3G/4G Modes  
The MODE pin enables selection of either constant PWM (2G) or automatic PWM/PFM (3G/4G) operation.  
To maintain higher efficiency at light loads, the 3G/4G mode setting is used. When in Boost-Bypass, and average  
inductor current drops below 45 to 90 mA (typ.), PFM operation is active. The switching frequency is reduced to  
improve efficiency. Conversely, the LM3248 transitions back to PWM operation from PFM when the average  
inductor current increases to values above 90 to 160 mA (typ.). Automatic transition into PWM operation also  
occurs if the output voltage falls more than 25 mV due to a load current increase.  
Active Current and Analog Bypass (ACB)  
Fast transient 2G power bursts require high current levels to be sourced or sunk from the LM3248 Buck DC/DC  
converter. The Active Current assist and analog Bypass (ACB) feature, built into the Buck DC/DC converter,  
enables smooth waveform transitions with load currents as high as 2.5A using smaller footprint inductors and  
meets all of the transient requirements when supplying VCC_PA voltages for the latest multi-mode RF Power  
Amplifier modules. The ACB circuit provides an additional current path when the load current exceeds 1.4A (typ.)  
or as the switcher approaches dropout. Similarly, the ACB circuit enables the LM3248 to respond with faster  
output voltage transition times by providing extra output current on rising and falling output edges. The LM3248  
handles bypass events by sensing input voltage, output voltage, and load current conditions, and then  
automatically and seamlessly transitioning the converter into analog bypass, while maintaining output voltage  
regulation and low output voltage ripple. Full bypass (100% duty cycle) will occur if the total dropout resistance in  
bypass mode (50 m) is insufficient to regulate the output voltage.  
Shutdown  
When the LM3248 ENABLE = LOW, the Buck and Boost DC/DC converters and control circuits are programmed  
into an OFF (Shutdown) state and the output power switches are placed in a tri-state condition. The Shutdown  
state reduces system current consumption to less than 4 µA.  
Output Current Protection  
The Buck DC/DC converter and the ACB circuit each have output current protection. The Buck converter  
includes a steady-state current limit which monitors load currents and enables the ACB circuit. During transient  
over-current conditions the peak current limit detector turns off the PFET switch within the current PWM cycle  
and initiates the timed output current limit.  
Timed Output Current Limit  
If the output load current rises above the ILIM,PFET,Transient threshold continuously for more than 11 μs, and the  
output voltage falls below 0.3V (typ.), the LM3248 Buck DC/DC converter switch node (SW_BUCK pin) is put into  
a high-impedance state, and the ACB circuit is disabled. The power switch then remains disabled for a period of  
35 µs to force the inductor current to ramp down. If the short circuit condition continues, the cycle will repeat.

Thermal Overload Protection  
The LM3248 IC has thermal overload protection that disables the device, protecting it from short-term misuse  
and overload conditions. If the junction temperature exceeds 150°C (typ.), all of the power functions will be  
turned off. Normal operation resumes after the temperature drops below 130°C (typ.), and the LM3248 will  
attempt to return to the operating state before the over-temperature condition occurred. Prolonged operation in  
thermal overload condition may damage the device and is therefore not recommended.  
Digital Control Signals  
The BOOST_GATE, MODE and ENABLE pins are 1.8V logic-level inputs for controlling the LM3248. A logic  
LOW level applied to the ENABLE pin puts the LM3248 into a Shutdown state, where minimum current is drawn  
from the battery. The MODE pin allows the user to select whether PWM (2G) or PWM/PFM (3G/4G) operation is  
allowed. The BOOST_GATE pin enables the Boost DC/DC converter circuitry and related functionality.  
Manufacturing Considerations  
Use of the DSBGA package requires specialized board layout, precision mounting, and careful re-flow  
techniques, as detailed in Texas Instruments Application Note AN-1112 (SNVA009). Please refer to the section  
Surface Mount Assembly Considerations. For best results in assembly, local alignment fiducial markers on the  
PC board should be used to facilitate placement of the device.  
The pad style used with DSBGA package must be the NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type. This means that  
the solder-mask opening is larger than the pad size. This prevents a lip that would otherwise form if the solder-  
mask and pad overlap, which would hold the device off the surface of the board and interfere with mounting. See  
Application Note AN-1112 (SNVA009) for specific instructions how to do this.  
The 30-bump(5x6) DSBGA package used for the LM3248 has the following Non-Solder Mask Defined (NSMD)  
mounting specifications:  
Solder ball diameter: 0.265 mm  
Copper pad size: 0.225 mm ± 0.02 mm  
Solder mask opening: 0.325 ± 0.02 mm  
The trace to each pad should enter the pad with a 90°entry angle to prevent debris from being caught in deep  
corners. Symmetry is important to ensure the solder bumps re-flow evenly and that the device solders level to  
the board. In particular, special attention must be paid to the pads for bumps A1-A5, C4, C5, E4, E5, F4 and F5  
since PVIN_BOOST, OUT_BOOST, PGND, PVIN_BUCK and ACB may be connected to large copper planes  
and inadequate thermal reliefs can result in inadequate re-flow of these bumps.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
Recommended External Components  
Inductor Selection  
The LM3248 was designed to work with 1.0 µH and 1.5 µH buck inductors. The largest current magnitudes  
encountered with the LM3248 are in 2G mode (that is, 2.5A for 2G vs. <1A for 3G/4G). Because of the low duty  
cycles encountered with 2G transmission bursts, the maximum RMS current encountered is much less than the  
peak.  
Suitable inductors are typically rated for maximum current with two different numbers:  
1. ΔL/L = 30% (or similar) which means the current level that causes a 30% drop in the inductance value (due  
to core saturation), and  
2. ΔT = 40°C (or similar) which means the current level that causes a 40°C rise in the inductor's temperature.  
Because of the “peaky” nature of 2G current waveforms (low duty cycle, high peak-to-average ratio), the  
ΔL/L=30%” (or similar) current limit will typically be reached long before the “ΔT=40°C” (or similar) current value.  
This means that selection of the inductor is saturation-limited.  
Another way of saying this is that the inductor core saturation is proportional to the peak current value, while the  
temperature rise is due to the RMS current value. As a result, candidate inductors which may appear too small  
for the application when looking at the “ΔT=40°C” (or similar) current specification, may be sufficiently sized, as  
long as the “ΔL/L = 30%” (or similar) current value is less than the peak current required for the application.  
If the “ΔL/L = 30%” (or similar) current value is not specified, or it is not clear whether the max current rating for  
the part refers to either one of these rules of measure, this information should be requested from the supplier.  
The LM3248 automatically manages the inductor peak and RMS current (or steady-state current peak) through  
the SW_BUCK pin. The SW_BUCK pin has two positive current limits. The first is the 1.45A typical (or 1.65A  
maximum) overcurrent protection which sets the upper steady-state inductor peak current (as detailed in the  
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (BUCK) parameter "ILIM,PFET,SteadyState"). It is the dominant factor limiting  
currents from surpassing the buck inductor ISAT specification. The second is an over-limit current protection  
"ILIM,PFET,Transient" found in the SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS (BUCK) table. It limits the maximum peak inductor  
current during large signal transients (i.e., < 20 µs) to 1.9A typical (2.1A maximum). When selecting the buck  
output inductor, the user should insure that a minimum of 0.3 µH is maintained when peak currents reach the  
ILIM,PFET,Transient current limit.  
The ACB circuit automatically adjusts its output current to keep the steady-state inductor current below the  
ILIM,PFET,Steady State current limit. The inductor RMS current will always be less than this value during the transmit  
burst, thus keeping the inductor within its thermal operating limits.  
For good efficiency, the inductor's resistance should be less than 0.15Ω. Low DCR inductors (< 0.15Ω) are  
recommended. Table 1 suggests some inductors and their suppliers. The slightly larger inductors listed in  
Table 1 were observed to enhance efficiency 1 to 2% under some VIN/VOUT/Load conditions.

SNVSA01A JULY 2013REVISED SEPTEMBER 2013  
Capacitor Selection  
The LM3248 is designed to use ceramic capacitors for input and output decoupling. Use a 10 μF capacitor for  
the input and approximately 10 μF actual total output capacitance. Capacitor types such as X5R and X7R are  
recommended for both filters. These provide an optimal balance between small size, cost, reliability and  
performance for cell phones and similar applications. Table 2 lists suggested part numbers and suppliers. DC  
bias characteristics of the capacitors must be considered while selecting the voltage rating and case size of the  
capacitor. Smaller 0402 (1005) case size capacitors are recommended for filtering. Use of multiple 2.2 μF or 1  
μF capacitors can also be considered. For RF Power Amplifier applications, split the output capacitor between  
DC-DC converter and RF Power Amplifiers: 10 μF (COUT1) + 4.7 μF (COUT2) + 3 x 1.0 μF (COUT3) is  
recommended. The optimum capacitance split is application dependent, and for stability the actual total  
capacitance (taking into account effects of capacitor DC bias, temperature de-rating, aging and other capacitor  
tolerances) should target 10 μF with 2.5V DC bias (measured at 0.5 VRMS). Place all the output capacitors very  
close to the respective device. A high-frequency capacitor (3300 pF) is highly recommended to be placed next to  
COUT1.

PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS  
Overview  
PC board layout is critical to successfully designing a DC-DC converter into a product. A properly planned board  
layout optimizes the performance of a DC-DC converter and minimizes effects on surrounding circuitry while also  
addressing manufacturing issues that can have adverse impacts on board quality and final product yield.  
PCB  
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 in the traces. Erroneous signals could be sent to the DC-DC  
converter IC, resulting in poor regulation or instability. Poor layout can also result in re-flow problems leading to  
poor solder joints between the DSBGA package and board pads. Poor solder joints can result in erratic or  
degraded performance of the converter.  
Energy Efficiency  
Minimize resistive losses by using wide traces between the power components and doubling up traces on  
multiple layers when possible.  
EMI  
By its very nature, any switching converter generates electrical noise. The circuit board designer’s challenge is to  
minimize, contain, or attenuate such switcher-generated noise. A high-frequency switching converter, such as the  
LM3248, switches Ampere-level currents within nanoseconds, and the traces interconnecting the associated  
components can act as radiating antennas. The following guidelines are offered to help to ensure that EMI is  
maintained within tolerable levels.  
To help minimize radiated noise:  
Place the LM3248 DC-DC converter, its input capacitor, and output filter inductor and capacitor close  
together, and make the interconnecting traces as short as possible.  
Arrange the components so that the switching current loops curl in the same direction. During the first half of  
each cycle, current flows from the input filter capacitor, through the internal PFET of the LM3248 and the  
inductor, to the output filter capacitor, then back through ground, forming a current loop. In the second half of  
each cycle, current is pulled up from ground, through the internal synchronous NFET of the LM3248 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.  
Make the current loop area(s) as small as possible. Interleave doubled traces with ground planes or return  
paths, where possible, to further minimize trace inductances.  
To help minimize conducted noise in the ground-plane:  
Reduce the amount of switching current that circulates through the ground plane by connecting the ground  
bumps of the LM3248 and the boost output/buck input filter capacitors together using generous component-  
side copper fill as a pseudo-ground plane. Then connect this copper fill to the system ground-plane by  
multiple vias. The multiple vias help to minimize ground bounce at the LM3248 by giving it a low-impedance  
ground connection.  
To help minimize coupling to the DC-DC converter's own voltage feedback trace:  
Route noise sensitive traces, such as the voltage feedback path (FB_BUCK), as directly as possible from the  
switcher FB_BUCK pad to the VOUT pad of the output capacitor, but keep them away from noisy traces  
between the power components.

To help minimize noise coupled back into power supplies:  
Use a star connection to route from the VBATT power source to the LM3248 PVIN_BOOST pins and to  
the PA device VBATT pins.  
Include sufficient decoupling capacitance, for both low and high frequency, at the PA VBATT connections.  
Route traces for minimum inductance (short, wide connections) between supply pins and bypass capacitor(s).  
Route traces to minimize inductance between bypass capacitors and the ground plane.  
Utilize necessary power supply trace inductance(s) to reduce coupling between function blocks.  
Inserting a ferrite bead in series with the VBATT power supply trace may offer a favorable tradeoff between  
board area and additional shunt bypass capacitors, by attenuating noise that might otherwise propagate  
through the supply connections.

LM3248 PCB Placement Considerations  
1. Input Capacitor C2 should be placed closer to LM3248 than C1.  
2. Optional to add a 1 nF (C34) capacitor on the input of LM3248 for high frequency filtering.  
3. Bulk Output Capacitor C7 should be placed closer to LM3248 than C8.  
4. Connect GND terminals of C7, C8 and C34 directly to System RF GND layer of phone board.  
5. Connect GND terminals of boost output C27 and buck input C28 capacitors to copper PGND island on the  
component side. This island is then tied to the system ground layer through several vias.  
6. Connect bumps SGND_BOOST(B2), SGND_BUCK(C3), DGND(E3), and BGND (F3) directly to system  
ground layer.  
7. Small high-frequency filtering capacitors (e.g., C34) work better when they are connected to system ground  
instead of the PGND island. These capacitors should be 0201 (0603 metric) or 01005 (0402 metric) case  
size for minimum footprint and best high frequency characteristics.

Layout Recommendations  
Multi-Layer Chip-Capacitors (MLCC), rather than Tantalum, should be used in the LM3248 DC/DC converter, in  
order to minimize ESR effects.  
One of the most important details is routing the power feed in a way that does not induce noise between the PA  
and DC/DC converter circuits that are connected to the common power feed. The “star connection” previously  
mentioned is illustrated below in Figure 31. The key is to route the power connections from the VBATT power  
source to the PA and DC/DC converters separately, so that there is no shared current path – they only join at the  
power source. If this is not possible, due to other constraints, it is wise to design in pads for ferrite beads in  
series with the VBATT connection to the device, at least in prototype layouts, so that additional filtering is available  
when performance is validated (see Figure 32).

Figure 31. LM3248 VBATT Star Connection and VCC_PA Routing  
Critical Boost Output/Buck Input Capacitors  
The most critical placement and connections are the boost output/buck input filter capacitors, C27 and C28,  
which should be located as close as possible to the U2 LM3248 device OUT_BOOST/PVIN_BUCK and PGND  
pads. These two capacitors decouple the fastest (highest di/dt) switching currents in the power supply. By  
minimizing the connection length (inductance) between these capacitor and the LM3248 device pads, the user  
minimizes the noise that may propagate back into the VBATT power bus. The best method to connect these  
components to the LM3248 is short, direct connecting traces from the capacitor pads to the device pads on the  
same layer (vias are resistive+inductive and impede the fast switching current flow). This is illustrated in  
Figure 32, below, with arrows indicating the fast circulating current flows. Note the copper PGND island, which  
joins the major current-carrying bypass capacitor GND terminals, C2, C27, and C28.

Figure 32. LM3248 Decoupling Cap Placement  
(Top View, Component Layer)  
The VBATT supply currents replenish the main decoupling caps mounted to the PGND island through the system  
ground by way of several vias, so that the fast switching currents are confined to the component layer. This  
technique reduces ground-plane noise by reducing the amount of switching current that circulates through the  
system ground plane. An additional high-frequency decoupling capacitor (C34, 1 nF, 0201 case size) is  
recommended between the main power (VBATT) feed and the system ground (not to PGND) to return any  
common mode switching currents that appear on these surfaces.  
The Active Current Assist and Bypass (ACB) trace should be kept short and routed directly from ACB pin to the  
junction of output inductor L3 and output capacitor C7 (see Figure 32).  
Minimizing Switching Noise  
Next, the boost and buck inductors, L1 and L3, should be placed so that routing will minimize exposure of the  
“noisy” end of each of these components to surrounding circuitry that ties directly to the SW_BUCK and  
SW_BOOST pins. Specifically, the FB_BUCK feedback sense connection should be routed away from the  
SW_BUCK (or SW_BOOST) nodes. Ideally, make a short, direct connection from the FB_BUCK pin to the  
junction of the output capacitor, C7, and buck output inductor, L3. This trace is a voltage sense connection and  
does not carry significant current (trace width is not critical). If this connection must be routed under either L1 or  
L3 inductors, there should be a ground layer between this trace and the noisy end of the inductor(s) to provide  
shielding. Connect output capacitors C7 and C8 directly to the system ground (not to the PGND copper island).  
In this example, C7 and C8 are routed to the Layer 3 system ground through multiple vias (see Figure 32 and  
Figure 33), which is acceptable, since they do not carry extremely fast (high di/dt) switching currents.

(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) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability  
information and additional product content details.  
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.  
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that  
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.  
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between  
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.  
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight  
in homogeneous material)  
(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.

NOTES:  
www.ti.com  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve 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. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale  
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.  
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms  
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary  
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily  
performed.  
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and  
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide  
adequate design and operating safeguards.  
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or  
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information  
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or  
endorsement thereof. Use of such information 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.  
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or 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 altered  
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.  
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service  
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.  
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.  
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements  
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support  
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which

harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use  
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.  
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to  
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and  
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.  
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties  
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.  
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in  
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components  
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and  
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.  
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of  
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
