3 Description
The LM2854 PowerWise™ buck regulator is a 500-
kHz or 1-MHz step-down switching voltage regulator
capable of driving up to a 4-A load with exceptional
power conversion efficiency, line and load regulation,
and output accuracy. The LM2854 can accept an
input voltage rail between 2.95 V and 5.5 V, and
deliver an adjustable and highly accurate output
voltage as low as 0.8 V. Externally established soft-
start with a small capacitor facilitates controlled start-
up, and the LM2854 is capable of starting gracefully
into a pre-biased output voltage. Partial internal
compensation reduces the number of external
passive components and PC board space typically
necessary in a voltage mode buck converter
application, yet preserving flexibility to deal with
ceramic and/or electrolytic based load capacitors.
Lossless cycle-by-cycle peak current limit is used to
protect the load from an overcurrent or short-circuit
fault, and an enable comparator simplifies
sequencing applications. The LM2854 is available in
an exposed pad HTSSOP-16 package that enhances
the thermal performance of the regulator.

Pin Functions
PIN I/O DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
NC 1, 8, 9 Reserved for factory use, this pin should be connected to GND to ensure proper operation.
PGND 2, 3, 4 Power ground pins for the internal power switches. These pins should be connected together
locally at the device and tied to the PC board ground plane.
PVIN 5, 6, 7 Input voltage to the power switches inside the device. These pins should be connected
together at the device. A low ESR input capacitance should be located as close as possible
to these pins.
AVIN 10
Analog input voltage supply that generates the internal bias. The UVLO circuit derives its
input from this pin also. Thus, if the voltage on AVIN falls below the UVLO threshold, both
internal FETs are turned off. TI recommends connecting PVIN to AVIN through a low pass
RC filter to minimize the influence of input rail ripple and noise on the analog control circuitry.
The series resistor should be 1 and the bypass capacitor should be a X7R ceramic type
0.1 µF to 1 µF.
EN 11 I Active high enable input for the device. Typically, turnon threshold is 1.23 V with 0.15-V
hysteresis. An external resistor divider from PVIN can be used to effectively increase the
UVLO turnon threshold. If not used, the EN pin should be connected to PVIN.
SW 12, 13 O Switch node pins. This is the PWM output of the internal MOSFET power switches. These
pins should be tied together locally and connected to the filter inductor.
SS 14 I/O Soft-start control pin. An internal 2-µA current source charges an external capacitor
connected between this pin and AGND to set the output voltage ramp rate during start-up.
This pin can also be used to configure the tracking feature.
AGND 15 Quiet analog ground for the internal bias circuitry.
FB 16 I Feedback pin is connected to the inverting input of the voltage loop error amplifier. An 0.8-V
bandgap reference is connected to the noninverting input of the error amplifier.
Exposed Pad Exposed metal pad on the underside of the package with a weak electrical connection to
PGND. TI recommends connecting this pad to the PC board ground plane in order to
improve thermal dissipation.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM2854 PowerWise synchronous DC-DC buck regulator belongs to the Texas Instruments family of
switching regulators. Integration of the power MOSFETs and associated drivers, compensation component
network, and the PWM controller reduces the number of external components necessary for a complete power
supply design, without sacrificing performance.
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Switching Frequency
The LM2854 is available in two switching frequency options, 500 kHz and 1 MHz. Generally, a higher switching
frequency allows for faster transient response and a reduction in the footprint area and volume of the external
power stage components, while a lower switching frequency affords better efficiency. These factors should be
considered when selecting the appropriate switching frequency for a given application.
7.3.2 Enable
The LM2854 features a enable (EN) pin and associated comparator to allow the user to easily sequence the
LM2854 from an external voltage rail, or to manually set the input UVLO threshold. The turnon or rising threshold
and hysteresis for this comparator are typically 1.23 V and 0.15 V, respectively. The precise reference for the
enable comparator allows the user to ensure that the LM2854 will be disabled when the system demands it to
be.
7.3.3 Soft-Start
The LM2854 begins to operate when both the AVIN and EN voltages exceed the rising UVLO and enable
thresholds, respectively. A controlled soft-start eliminates inrush currents during start-up and allows the user
more control and flexibility when sequencing the LM2854 with other power supplies. An external soft-start
capacitor is used to control the LM2854 start-up time. During soft-start, the voltage on the feedback pin is
connected internally to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier. The soft-start period lasts until the voltage on
the soft-start pin exceeds the LM2854 reference voltage of 0.8 V. At this point, the reference voltage takes over
at the non-inverting amplifier input.

Feature Description (continued)
In the event of either AVIN or EN decreasing below the falling UVLO or enable threshold respectively, the
voltage on the soft-start pin is collapsed by discharging the soft-start capacitor through a 5-ktransistor to
ground.
7.3.4 Tracking
The LM2854 can track the output of a master power supply during soft-start by connecting a resistor divider to
the SS pin. In this way, the output voltage slew rate of the LM2854 will be controlled by a master supply for loads
that require precise sequencing. When the tracking function is used, a small value soft-start capacitor can be
connected to the SS pin to alleviate output voltage overshoot when recovering from a current limit fault.
Figure 14. Simplified Schematic Showing Use of Tracking
7.3.5 Pre-Biased Start-up Capability
The LM2854 is in a pre-biased state when the device starts up with an output voltage greater than zero. This
often occurs in many multi-rail applications such as when powering an FPGA, ASIC, or DSP. The output can be
pre-biased in these applications through parasitic conduction paths from one supply rail to another. Even though
the LM2854 is a synchronous converter, it will not pull the output low when a pre-bias condition exists. The
LM2854 will not sink current during start up until the soft-start voltage exceeds the voltage on the FB pin. Since
the device can not sink current it protects the load from damage that might otherwise occur if current is
conducted through the parasitic paths of the load.
7.3.6 Feedback Voltage Accuracy
The FB pin is connected to the inverting input of the voltage loop error amplifier and during closed loop operation
its reference voltage is 0.8 V. The FB voltage is accurate to within –1.25% / +1% over temperature. Additionally,
the LM2854 contains error nulling circuitry to substantially eliminate the feedback voltage over temperature drift
as well as the long term aging effects of the internal amplifiers. In addition, the 1/f noise of the bandgap amplifier
and reference are dramatically reduced. The manifestation of this circuit action is that the duty cycle will have two
slightly different but distinct operating points, each evident every other switching cycle. The oscilloscope plot
shown previously of the SW pin with infinite persistence set shows this behavior. No discernible effect is evident
on the output due to LC filter attenuation. For further information, a Texas Instruments white paper is available on
this topic.
7.3.7 Positive Current Limit
The LM2854 employs lossless cycle-by-cycle high-side current limit circuitry to limit the peak current through the
high-side FET. The peak current limit threshold, denoted ICL, is nominally set at 6 A internally. When a current
greater than ICL is sensed through the PFET, its on-time is immediately terminated and the NFET is activated.
The NFET stays on for the entire next four switching cycles (effectively four PFET pulses are skipped). During
these skipped pulses, the voltage on the soft-start pin is reduced by discharging the soft-start capacitor by a
current sink on the soft-start pin of nominally 6 µA or 14 µA for the 500-kHz or 1-MHz options, respectively.
Subsequent overcurrent events will drain more and more charge from the soft-start capacitor, effectively
decreasing the reference voltage as the output droops due to the pulse skipping. Reactivation of the soft-start
circuitry ensures that when the overcurrent situation is removed, the part will resume normal operation smoothly.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.8 Negative Current Limit
The LM2854 implements negative current limit detection circuitry to prevent large negative current in the
inductor. When the negative current sensed in the low-side NFET is below approximately –0.4 A, the present
switching cycle is immediately terminated and both FETs are turned off. When both FETs are off, the negative
inductor current originally flowing in the low-side NFET and into the SW pin commutates to the high-side PFET’s
body diode and ramps back to zero. At this point, the SW pin becomes a high impedance node and ringing can
be observed on the SW node as the stored energy in the inductor is dissipated while resonating with the parasitic
nodal capacitance.
7.3.9 Overtemperature Protection
When the LM2854 senses a junction temperature greater than 165°C, both switching FETs are turned off and the
part enters a sleep state. Upon sensing a junction temperature below 155°C, the part will re-initiate the soft-start
sequence and begin switching once again. This feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failure due to
excessive thermal dissipation.
7.3.10 Loop Compensation
The LM2854 preserves flexibility by integrating the control components around the error amplifier while using
three small external compensation components from VOUT to FB. An integrated type II (two pole, one zero)
voltage-mode compensation network is featured. To ensure stability, an external resistor and small value
capacitor can be added across the upper feedback resistor as a pole-zero pair to complete a type III (three pole,
two zero) compensation network. For correct selection of these components, see Detailed Design Procedure.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown Mode
If EN is less than VIH VEN(HSY), the LM2854 shuts down. Most internal circuitry is shut down, and the SW output
is high-impedance. Once EN voltage exceeds VIH, the LM2854 enters soft-start mode.
7.4.2 Soft-Start and Track Mode
Once operation is initiated, the LM2854 starts charging its SS node. If a voltage is already present on the
LM2854 circuit output, the LM2854 does not attempt to pull the circuit output low. If only a capacitor is connected
to the SS pin, voltage on this pin rises, and once voltage exceeds 0.8 V, normal operating mode commences. If
the high-side current limit is exceeded, the voltage on the SS pin is reduced, prolonging soft-start and track
mode.
If a resistor divider is used to connect the SS pin to another power supply, Soft Start and Track mode can be
used to cause the output of the LM2854 Buck to track this supply.
7.4.3 Normal Operating Mode
If the EN input of the LM2854 is above VIH and the SS pin is above 0.8 V, output is regulated normally. If EN is
reduced to less than VIH VEN(HSY), the LM2854 enters shutdown mode. If the high-side current limit is activated
or SS is pulled to below 0.8 V, the LM2854 enters soft-start and track mode.

Size vs efficiency: Choose 1 MHz for small physical size, and 500 kHz switching frequency for efficiency.
Step load response and ripple: Use this criterion to select output capacitance. Also see compensation in
Detailed Design Procedure.
UVLO: Input UVLO voltage should be selected. A voltage divider connected to the EN input can be used to
select input start-up voltage.
Tracking: If tracking is desired, a voltage divider can be connected to the SS node.
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Input Filter Capacitor
Fast switching currents place a large strain on the input supply to a buck regulator. A capacitor placed close to
the PVIN and PGND pins of the LM2854 helps to supply the instantaneous charge required when the regulator
demands a pulse of current every switching cycle. In fact, the input capacitor conducts a square-wave current of
peak-to-peak amplitude equal to IOUT. With this high AC current present in the input capacitor, the RMS current
rating becomes an important parameter. The necessary RMS current rating of the input capacitor to a buck
regulator can be estimated using Equation 1.

Typical Application (continued)
Neglecting capacitor ESR, the resultant input capacitor AC ripple voltage is a triangular waveform with peak-to-
peak amplitude specified in Equation 3.
(3)
The maximum input capacitor ripple voltage and RMS current occur at 50% duty cycle. A 22-µF or 47-µF high-
quality dielectric (X5R, X7R) ceramic capacitor with adequate voltage rating is typically sufficient as an input
capacitor to the LM2854. The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the PVIN and PGND pins
to substantially eliminate the parasitic effects of any stray inductance or resistance on the PC board and supply
lines. Additional bulk capacitance with higher ESR may be required to damp any resonance effects of the input
capacitance and parasitic inductance.
8.2.2.2 AVIN Filtering Components
In addition to the large input filter capacitor, a smaller ceramic capacitor such as a 0.1 µF or 1.0 µF is
recommended between AVIN and AGND to filter high frequency noise present on the PVIN rail from the quiet
AVIN supply. For additional filtering in noisy environments, a small RC filter can be used on the AVIN pin as
shown below.
Figure 16. Filtering of AVIN
In general, RFis typically selected between 1 and 10 so that the steady state voltage drop across the
resistor due to the AVIN bias current does not affect the UVLO level. Recommended filter capacitor, CF, is 1 µF
in X5R or X7R dielectric.
8.2.2.3 Soft-Start Capacitor
When the LM2854 is enabled, the output voltage will ramp up linearly in the time dictated by the relationship
shown in Equation 4.
(4)
where VREF is the internal reference voltage (nominally 0.8V), ISS is the soft-start charging current (nominally 2
µA) and CSS is the external soft-start capacitance. Rearranging this equation allows for the necessary soft-start
capacitor for a given start-up time to be calculated as in Equation 5.
(5)
Thus, the required soft start capacitor per unit output voltage start-up time is given in Equation 6.
CSS = 2.5 nF / ms (6)
For example, a 10 nF soft-start capacitor will yield a 4 ms soft-start time.
8.2.2.4 Tracking - Equal Soft-Start Time
One way to use the tracking feature is to design the tracking resistor divider so that the master supply output
voltage, VOUT1, and the LM2854 output voltage, VOUT2, both rise together and reach their target values at the
same time. This is termed ratiometric start-up. For this case, the equation governing the values of tracking divider
resistors RT1 and RT2 is given in Equation 7.

The above equation includes an offset voltage to ensure that the final value of the SS pin voltage exceeds the
reference voltage of the LM2854. This offset will cause the LM2854 output voltage to reach regulation slightly
before the master supply. A value of 33 k1% is recommended for RT2 as a compromise between high
precision and low quiescent current through the divider while minimizing the effect of the 2 µA soft-start current
source.
For example, If the master supply voltage VOUT1 is 3.3V and the LM2854 output voltage was 1.8V, then the value
of RT1 needed to give the two supplies identical soft-start times would be 14.3 k. A timing diagram for this
example, the equal soft-start time case, is shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17. Simplified Start-up Waveforms When Using Proportional Tracking
8.2.2.5 Tracking - Equal Slew Rates
Alternatively, the tracking feature can be used to have similar output voltage ramp rates. This is referred to as
simultaneous start-up. In this case, the tracking resistors can be calculated using Equation 8.
(8)
and to ensure proper overdrive of the SS pin as calculated in Equation 9.
VOUT2 < 0.8 VOUT1 (9)
For the example case of VOUT1 =5VandVOUT2 = 2.5 V, with RT2 set to 33 kas before, RT1 is calculated from
the above equation to be 15.5 k. A timing diagram for the case of equal slew rates is shown in Figure 18.

8.2.2.6 Enable and UVLO
Using a resistor divider from VIN to EN as shown in the schematic diagram below, the input voltage at which the
part begins switching can be increased above the normal input UVLO level as shown in Equation 10.
(10)
For example, suppose that the required input UVLO level is 3.69 V. Choosing REN2 = 10 k, then we calculate
REN1 = 20 k.
Figure 19. Simplified Schematic Showing Use of EN as an Input UVLO
Alternatively, the EN pin can be driven from another voltage source to cater for system sequencing requirements
commonly found in FPGA and other multi-rail applications. The following schematic shows an LM2854 that is
sequenced to start based on the voltage level of a master system rail.

8.2.2.7 Output Voltage Setting
A divider resistor network from VOUT to the FB pin determines the desired output voltage as shown in
Equation 11.

RFB1 is defined based on the voltage loop requirements and RFB2 is then selected for the desired output voltage.
These resistors are normally selected as 0.5% or 1% tolerance.
8.2.2.8 Compensation Component Selection
The power stage transfer function of a voltage mode buck converter has a complex double pole related to the LC
output filter and a left half plane zero due to the output capacitor ESR, denoted RESR. The locations of these
singularities are given respectively in Equation 12.

Figure 21. LM2854 Compensation Scheme
The conventional compensation strategy employed with voltage mode control is to use two compensator zeros to
offset the LC double pole, one compensator pole located to cancel the output capacitor ESR zero and one
compensator pole located between one third and one half switching frequency for high frequency noise
attenuation.
The LM2854 internal compensation components are designed to locate a pole at the origin and a pole at high
frequency as mentioned above. Furthermore, a zero is located at 8.8 kHz or 17.6 kHz for the 500 kHz or 1 MHz
options, respectively, to approximately cancel the likely location of one LC filter pole.
The three external compensation components, RFB1, RCOMP and CCOMP, are selected to position a zero at or
below the LC pole location and a pole to cancel the ESR zero. The voltage loop crossover frequency, floop, is
usually selected between one tenth to one fifth of the switching frequency, as shown in Equation 13.
0.1fSW floop 0.2fSW (13)
A simple solution for the required external compensation capacitor, CCOMP, with type III voltage mode control can
be expressed as in Equation 14.
(14)
where the constant αis nominally 0.038 or 0.075 for the 500 kHz or 1 MHz options, respectively. This assumes a
compensator pole cancels the output capacitor ESR zero. Furthermore, since the modulator gain is proportional
to VIN, the loop crossover frequency increases with VIN. Thus, it is recommended to design the loop at maximum
expected VIN.
The upper feedback resistor, RFB1, is selected to provide adequate mid-band gain and to locate a zero at or
below the LC pole frequency. The series resistor, RCOMP, is selected to locate a pole at the ESR zero frequency,
as shown in Equation 15.

(15)
Note that the lower feedback resistor, RFB2, has no impact on the control loop from an AC standpoint since the
FB pin is the input to an error amplifier and effectively at AC ground. Hence, the control loop can be designed
irrespective of output voltage level. The only caveat here is the necessary derating of the output capacitance with
applied voltage. Having chosen RFB1 as above, RFB2 is then selected for the desired output voltage.
Table 1 and Table 2 list inductor and ranges of capacitor values that work well with the LM2854, along with the
associated compensation components to ensure stable operation. Values different than those listed may be
used, but the compensation components may need to be recalculated to avoid degradation in phase margin.
Note that the capacitance ranges specified refer to in-circuit values where the nominal capacitance value is
adequately derated for applied voltage.
8.2.2.9 Filter Inductor and Output Capacitor Selection
In a buck regulator, selection of the filter inductor and capacitor will affect many key system parameters,
including stability, transient response and efficiency The LM2854 can accommodate relatively wide ranges of
output capacitor and filter inductor values in a typical application and still achieve excellent load current transient
performance and low output voltage ripple.
The inductance is chosen such that the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple, ΔiL, is approximately 25 to 40% of
IOUT as shown in Equation 16.
(16)
Note that the peak inductor current is the DC output current plus half the ripple current and reaches its highest
level at lowest duty cycle (or highest VIN). It is recommended that the inductor should have a saturation current
rating in excess of the current limit level.
When operating the LM2854 at input voltages above 5.2 V, the inductor should be sized to keep the minimum
inductor current above –0.5 A. For most applications this should only occur at light loads or when the inductor is
drastically undersized. To ensure the current never goes below –0.5 A for any application, the peak-to-peak
ripple current (ΔiL) in the inductor should be less than 1 A. Keeping the minimum inductor current above –0.5 A
limits the energy storage in the inductor and helps prevent the switch node voltage from exceeding the absolute
maximum specification when the low side FET turns off.
Table 3 lists examples of off-the-shelf powdered iron and ferrite based inductors that are suitable for use with the
LM2854. The output capacitor can be of ceramic or electrolytic chemistry. The chosen output capacitor requires
sufficient DC voltage rating and RMS ripple current handling capability.
The output capacitor RMS current and peak-to-peak output ripple are given respectively as in Equation 17.
(17)
In general, 22 µF to 100 µF of ceramic output capacitance is sufficient for both LM2854 frequency options given
the optimal high frequency characteristics and low ESR of ceramic dielectric. It is advisable to consult the
manufacturer’s derating curves for capacitance voltage coefficient as the in-circuit capacitance may drop
significantly with applied voltage.

Tantalum or organic polymer electrolytic capacitance may be suitable with the LM2854 500 kHz option,
particularly in applications where substantial bulk capacitance per unit volume is required. However, the high
loop bandwidth achievable with the LM2854 obviates the necessity for large bulk capacitance during transient
loading conditions.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM2854 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range from 2.95 V to 5.5 V. This input supply
should be able to source the maximum input current and maintain a voltage above either 2.95 V or the output
voltage, whichever is higher. In cases where input supply is located at a distance (more than a few inches) from
the device, drop due to traces and wires must be considered.
10 Layout
10.1 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 drop
in the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter resulting in poor regulation or instability.
Good layout can be implemented by following a few simple design rules.
1. Minimize area of switched current loops.
There are two loops where currents are switched at high di/dt slew rates in a buck regulator. The first loop
represents the path taken by AC current flowing during the high side PFET on time. This current flows from
the input capacitor to the regulator PVIN pins, through the high side FET to the regulator SW pin, filter
inductor, output capacitor and returning via the PCB ground plane to the input capacitor.
The second loop represents the path taken by AC current flowing during the low side NFET on time. This
current flows from the output capacitor ground to the regulator PGND pins, through the NFET to the inductor
and output capacitor. From an EMI reduction standpoint, it is imperative to minimize this loop area during PC
board layout by physically locating the input capacitor close to the LM2854. Specifically, it is advantageous to
place CIN as close as possible to the LM2854 PVIN and PGND pins. Grounding for both the input and output
capacitor should consist of a localized top side plane that connects to PGND and the exposed die attach pad
(DAP). The inductor should be placed close to the SW pin and output capacitor.
2. Minimize the copper area of the switch node.
The LM2854 has two SW pins optimally located on one side of the package. In general the SW pins should
be connected to the filter inductor on the top PCB layer. The inductor should be placed close to the SW pins
to minimize the copper area of the switch node.
3. Have a single point ground for all device analog grounds located under the DAP.
The ground connections for the Feedback, Soft-start, Enable and AVIN components should be routed to the
AGND pin of the device. The AGND pin should connect to PGND under the DAP. This prevents any
switched or load currents from flowing in the analog ground traces. If not properly handled, poor grounding
can result in degraded load regulation or erratic switching behavior.
4. Minimize trace length to the FB pin.
Since the feedback (FB) node is high impedance, the trace from the output voltage setpoint resistor divider to
FB pin should be as short as possible. This is most important as relatively high value resistors are used to
set the output voltage. The FB trace should be routed away from the SW pin and inductor to avoid noise
pickup from the SW pin. Both feedback resistors, RFB1 and RFB2, and the compensation components, RCOMP
and CCOMP, should be located close to the FB pin.
5. Make input and output bus connections as wide as possible.
This reduces any voltage drops on the input or output of the converter and maximizes efficiency. To optimize
voltage accuracy at the load, ensure that a separate feedback voltage sense trace is made to the load. Doing
so will correct for voltage drops and provide optimum output accuracy.
6. Provide adequate device heat-sinking.
Use an array of heat-sinking vias to connect the DAP to the ground plane on the bottom PCB layer. If the
PCB has a plurality of copper layers, these thermal vias can also be employed to make connection to inner
layer heat-spreading ground planes. For best results use a 5 x 3 via array with minimum via diameter of 10
mils. Ensure enough copper area is used to keep the junction temperature below 125°C.

Layout Guidelines (continued)
7. Keep sensitive system signals away from SW node.
SW is a high-voltage, rapidly changing signal which can couple to adjacent signal lines. Signal integrity of
lines that have high impedances or are very sensitive to noise can be compromised by capacitive coupling to
SW node.

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.
