3 Description

The LMR50410 is a wide-V IN, easy-to-use synchronous buck converter capable of driving up to 1-A load current. With a wide input range of 4 V to 36 V, the device is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications for power conditioning from an unregulated source. The LMR50410 operates at 700-kHz switching frequency to support use of relatively small inductors for an optimized solution size. It has an PFM version to realize high efficiency at light load and FPWM version to achieve constant frequency, and small output voltage ripple over the full load range. Soft- start and compensation circuits are implemented internally which allows the device to be used with minimum external components. The device has built-in protection features, such as cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup mode short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown in case of excessive power dissipation.

8 Detailed Description

8.1 Overview

The LMR50410 converter is an easy-to-use synchronous step-down DC-DC converter operating from a 4-V to 36-V supply voltage. It is capable of delivering up to 1-A DC load current in a very small solution size. The family has multiple versions applicable to various applications. See Section 5 for detailed information. The LMR50410 employs fixed-frequency peak-current mode control. The PFM version enters PFM Mode at light load to achieve high efficiency. A FPWM version is provided to achieve low output voltage ripple, tight output voltage regulation, and constant switching frequency at light load. The device is internally compensated, which reduces design time and requires few external components. Additional features such as precision enable and internal soft start provide a flexible and easy-to-use solution for a wide range of applications. Protection features include thermal shutdown, V IN undervoltage lockout, cycle- by-cycle current limit, and hiccup mode short-circuit protection. This family of devices requires very few external components and has a pin-out designed for simple, optimum PCB layout.

8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 Fixed Frequency Peak Current Mode Control

The following operating description of the LMR50410 refers to Section 8.2 and to the waveforms in Figure 8-1. The LMR50410 is a step-down synchronous buck converter with integrated high-side (HS) and low-side (LS) switches (synchronous rectifier). The LMR50410 supplies a regulated output voltage by turning on the high-side and low-side NMOS switches with controlled duty cycle. During high-side switch ON time, the SW pin voltage swings up to approximately V IN, and the inductor current, i L, increases with linear slope (V IN – VOUT) / L. When the high-side switch is turned off by the control logic, the low-side switch is turned on after an anti-shoot-through dead time. Inductor current discharges through the low-side switch with a slope of –V OUT / L. The control parameter of a buck converter is defined as Duty Cycle D = t ON / TSW, where tON is the high-side switch ON time and TSW is the switching period. The converter control loop maintains a constant output voltage by adjusting the duty cycle D. In an ideal buck converter, where losses are ignored, D is proportional to the output voltage and inversely proportional to the input voltage: D = VOUT / VIN. VSW VIN D = tON/ TSW tON tOFF TSW t SW Voltage iL IOUT Inductor Current ILPK ¨LL Figure 8-1. SW Node and Inductor Current Waveforms in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) The LMR50410 employs fixed-frequency peak-current mode control. A voltage feedback loop is used to get accurate DC voltage regulation by adjusting the peak-current command based on voltage offset. The peak inductor current is sensed from the high-side switch and compared to the peak current threshold to control the ON time of the high-side switch. The voltage feedback loop is internally-compensated, which allows for fewer external components, making designing easy, and providing stable operation when using a variety of output capacitors. The converter operates with fixed switching frequency at normal load conditions. During light-load condition, the LMR50410 operates in PFM mode to maintain high efficiency (PFM version) or in FPWM mode for low output voltage ripple, tight output voltage regulation, and constant switching frequency (FPWM version).

8.3.2 Adjustable Output Voltage

A precision 1.0-V reference voltage (V REF) is used to maintain a tightly regulated output voltage over the entire operating temperature range. The output voltage is set by a resistor divider from V OUT to the FB pin. It is recommended to use 1% tolerance resistors with a low temperature coefficient for the FB divider. Select the bottom-side resistor RFBB for the desired divider current and use Equation 1 to calculate top-side resistor R FBT. The recommend range for R FBT is 10 k Ω to 100 k Ω. A lower R FBT value can be used if pre-loading is desired to reduce V OUT offset in PFM operation. Lower R FBT reduces efficiency at very light load. Less static current goes through a larger RFBT and can be more desirable when light-load efficiency is critical. However, RFBT larger than 1 M Ω is not recommended because it makes the feedback path more susceptible to noise. Larger R FBT values require more carefully designed feedback path trace from the feedback resistors to the feedback pin of the device. The tolerance and temperature variation of the resistor divider network affect the output voltage regulation. VOUT FB RFBT RFBB Figure 8-2. Output Voltage Setting OUT REF FBT FBB REF V - VR = × R V (1)

8.3.3 Enable

The voltage on the EN pin controls the ON/OFF operation of the LMR50410. A voltage of less than 0.95 V shuts down the device, while a voltage of greater than 1.36 V is required to start the converter. The EN pin is an input and cannot be left open or floating. The simplest way to enable the operation of the LMR50410 is to connect the EN to VIN. This allows self-start-up of the LMR50410 when VIN is within the operating range. Many applications benefit from the employment of an enable divider R ENT and R ENB (Figure 8-3) to establish a precision system UVLO level for the converter. System UVLO can be used for supplies operating from utility power as well as battery power. It can be used for sequencing, ensuring reliable operation, or supplying protection, such as a battery discharge level. An external logic signal can also be used to drive EN input for system sequencing and protection. Note, the EN pin voltage must not to be greater than V IN + 0.3 V. It is not recommended to apply EN voltage when VIN is 0 V. RENT EN VIN RENB Figure 8-3.

8.3.4 Minimum ON-Time, Minimum OFF-Time, and Frequency Foldback

Minimum ON-time (TON_MIN) is the shortest duration of time that the high-side switch can be turned on. T ON_MIN is typically 60 ns for the LMR50410. Minimum OFF-time (T OFF_MIN) is the shortest duration of time that the high-side switch can be off. T OFF_MIN is typically 110 ns. In CCM operation, T ON_MIN and T OFF_MIN limit the voltage conversion range without switching frequency foldback. The minimum duty cycle without frequency foldback allowed is: DMIN = TON_MIN × fSW (2) The maximum duty cycle without frequency foldback allowed is: DMAX = 1 - TOFF_MIN × fSW (3) Given a required output voltage, the maximum VIN without frequency foldback can be found by: OUT IN_MAX SW ON_MIN VV = f × T (4) The minimum VIN without frequency foldback can be calculated by: OUT IN_MIN SW OFF_MIN VV = 1- f × T (5) In the LMR50410, a frequency foldback scheme is employed once the T ON_MIN or T OFF_MIN is triggered, which can extend the maximum duty cycle or lower the minimum duty cycle. The on-time decreases while V IN voltage increases. Once the on-time decreases to T ON_MIN, the switching frequency starts to decrease while V IN continues to go up, which lowers the duty cycle further to keep V OUT in regulation according to Equation 2. The frequency foldback scheme also works once larger duty cycle is needed under low V IN condition. The frequency decreases once the device hits its T OFF_MIN, which extends the maximum duty cycle according to Equation 3. In such condition, the frequency can be as low as approximately 133 kHz. Wide range of frequency foldback allows for the LMR50410 output voltage to stay in regulation with a much lower supply voltage V IN, which leads to a lower effective dropout. With frequency foldback while maintaining a regulated output voltage, V IN_MAX is raised, and V IN_MIN is lowered by decreased fSW. LMR50410 SLUSDW3A – APRIL 2020 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2020 www.ti.com

8.3.5 Bootstrap Voltage

The LMR50410 provides an integrated bootstrap voltage converter. A small capacitor between the CB and SW pins provides the gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. The bootstrap capacitor is refreshed when the high-side MOSFET is off and the low-side switch is on. The recommended value of the bootstrap capacitor is 0.1 µF. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric with a voltage rating of 16 V or higher is recommended for stable performance over temperature and voltage.

8.3.6 Overcurrent and Short Circuit Protection

The LMR50410 incorporates both peak and valley inductor current limit to provide protection to the device from overloads and short circuits and limit the maximum output current. Valley current limit prevents inductor current runaway during short circuits on the output, while both peak and valley limits work together to limit the maximum output current of the converter. Cycle-by-cycle current limit is used for overloads, while hiccup mode is used for sustained short circuits. High-side MOSFET overcurrent protection is implemented by the nature of the Peak Current Mode control. The high-side switch current is sensed when the high-side is turned on after a set blanking time. The high-side switch current is compared to the output of the Error Amplifier (EA) minus slope compensation every switching cycle. See Section 8.2 for more details. The peak current of high-side switch is limited by a clamped maximum peak current threshold Isc (see Section 7.5), which is constant. The current going through low-side MOSFET is also sensed and monitored. When the low-side switch turns on, the inductor current begins to ramp down. The low-side switch is not turned OFF at the end of a switching cycle if its current is above the low-side current limit I LS_LIMIT (see Section 7.5). The low-side switch is kept ON so that inductor current keeps ramping down, until the inductor current ramps below the I LS_LIMIT. Then the low-side switch is turned OFF and the high-side switch is turned on after a dead time. After I LS_LIMIT is achieved, peak and valley current limit controls the max current deliver and it can be calculated using Equation 6. LS_LIMIT SC OUT max I +II = 2 (6) If the feedback voltage is lower than 40% of the V REF, the current of the low-side switch triggers I LS_LIMIT for 256 consecutive cycles and hiccup current protection mode is activated. In hiccup mode, the converter shuts down and keeps off for a period of hiccup, T HICCUP (135 ms typical) before the LMR50410 tries to start again. If overcurrent or short-circuit fault condition still exist, hiccup repeats until the fault condition is removed. Hiccup mode reduces power dissipation under severe overcurrent conditions, prevents over-heating and potential damage to the device. www.ti.com LMR50410 SLUSDW3A – APRIL 2020 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2020 Copyright © 2022 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 13 Product Folder Links: LMR50410

For FPWM version, the inductor current is allowed to go negative. When this current exceed the low-side negative current limit I LS_NEG, the low-side switch is turned off and high-side switch is turned on immediately. This is used to protect the low-side switch from excessive negative current.

8.3.7 Soft Start

The integrated soft-start circuit prevents input inrush current impacting the LMR50410 and the input power supply. Soft start is achieved by slowly ramping up the internal reference voltage when the device is first enabled or powered up. The typical soft-start time is 1.8 ms. The LMR50410 also employs overcurrent protection blanking time, T OCP_BLK (33 ms typical), at the beginning of power up. Without this feature, in applications with a large amount of output capacitors and high VOUT, the inrush current is large enough to trigger the current-limit protection, which can cause a false start as the device entering into hiccup mode. This results in a continuous recycling of soft start without raising up to the programmed output voltage. The LMR50410 is able to charge the output capacitor to the programmed V OUT by controlling the average inductor current during the start-up sequence in the blanking time TOCP_BLK.

8.3.8 Thermal Shutdown

The LMR50410 provides an internal thermal shutdown to protect the device when the junction temperature exceeds 170°C. Both high-side and low-side FETs stop switching in thermal shutdown. Once the die temperature falls below 158°C, the device reinitiates the power-up sequence controlled by the internal soft-start circuitry.

8.4 Device Functional Modes

8.4.1 Shutdown Mode

The EN pin provides electrical ON/OFF control for the LMR50410. When V EN is below 0.95 V, the device is in shutdown mode. The LMR50410 also employs V IN undervoltage lock out protection (UVLO). If V IN voltage is below its UVLO threshold 3.25 V, the converter is turned off.

8.4.2 Active Mode

The LMR50410 is in Active Mode when both V EN and V IN are above their respective operating threshold. The simplest way to enable the LMR50410 is to connect the EN pin to VIN pin. This allows self-start-up when the input voltage is in the operating range of 4.0 V to 36 V. See Section 8.3.3 for details on setting these operating levels. In Active Mode, depending on the load current, the LMR50410 is in one of four modes: 1. Continuous conduction mode (CCM) with fixed switching frequency when load current is greater than half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple (for both PFM and FPWM versions) 2. Discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with fixed switching frequency when load current is less than half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple(only for PFM version) 3. Pulse frequency modulation mode (PFM) when switching frequency is decreased at very light load (only for PFM version) 4. Forced pulse width modulation mode (FPWM) with fixed switching frequency even at light load (only for FPWM version).

8.4.3 CCM Mode

Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) operation is employed in the LMR50410 when the load current is greater than half of the peak-to-peak inductor current. In CCM operation, the frequency of operation is fixed, output voltage ripple is at a minimum in this mode and the maximum output current of 1 A can be supplied by the LMR50410.

8.4.4 Light-Load Operation (PFM Version)

For PFM version, when the load current is lower than half of the peak-to-peak inductor current in CCM, the LMR50410 operates in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM), also known as Diode Emulation Mode (DEM). In DCM operation, the low-side switch is turned off when the inductor current drops to I LS_ZC (20 mA typical) to improve efficiency. Both switching losses and conduction losses are reduced in DCM, compared to forced PWM operation at light load. During light load operation, Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) mode is activated to maintain high efficiency operation. When either the minimum high-side switch ON time t ON_MIN or the minimum peak inductor current IPEAK_MIN (300 mA typical) is reached, the switching frequency decreases to maintain regulation. In PFM mode, switching frequency is decreased by the control loop to maintain output voltage regulation when load current reduces. Switching loss is further reduced in PFM operation due to a significant drop in effective switching frequency.

8.4.5 Light-Load Operation (FPWM Version)

For FPWM version, LMR50410 is locked in PWM mode at full load range. This operation is maintained, even in no-load condition, by allowing the inductor current to reverse its normal direction. This mode trades off reduced light load efficiency for low output voltage ripple, tight output voltage regulation, and constant switching frequency. www.ti.com LMR50410 SLUSDW3A – APRIL 2020 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2020 Copyright © 2022 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 15 Product Folder Links: LMR50410

9.2.2.2 Output Voltage Set-Point

The output voltage of the LMR50410 device is externally adjustable using a resistor divider network. The divider network is comprised of top feedback resistor R FBT and bottom feedback resistor R FBB. Equation 7 is used to determine the output voltage of the converter: OUT REF FBT FBB REF V - VR = × R V (7) Choose the value of R FBB to be 22.1 k Ω. With the desired output voltage set to 5 V and the V REF = 1.0 V, the RFBT value can then be calculated using Equation 7. The formula yields to a value 88.4 k Ω, a standard value of 88.7 kΩ is selected.

9.2.2.3 Switching Frequency

The higher switching frequency allows for lower value inductors and smaller output capacitors, which results in smaller solution size and lower component cost. However, higher switching frequency brings more switching loss, making the solution less efficient and produce more heat. The switching frequency is also limited by the minimum on-time of the integrated power switch, the input voltage, the output voltage, and the frequency shift limitation as mentioned in Section 8.3.4. For this example, a switching frequency of 700 kHz is selected.

9.2.2.4 Inductor Selection

The most critical parameters for the inductor are the inductance, saturation current, and the RMS current. The inductance is based on the desired peak-to-peak ripple current ΔiL. Since the ripple current increases with the input voltage, the maximum input voltage is always used to calculate the minimum inductance L MIN. Use Equation 9 to calculate the minimum value of the output inductor. KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current of the device. A reasonable value of K IND must be 20% to 60% of maximum I OUT supported by converter. During an instantaneous overcurrent operation event, the RMS and peak inductor current can be high. The inductor saturation current must be higher than peak current limit level. OUT IN_MAX OUT L IN_MAX SW V × V - V ûL V × L × f (8) IN_MAX OUT OUT MIN OUT IND IN_MAX SW V - V VL = × I × K V × f (9) In general, it is preferable to choose lower inductance in switching power supplies, because it usually corresponds to faster transient response, smaller DCR, and reduced size for more compact designs. Too low of an inductance can generate too large of an inductor current ripple such that overcurrent protection at the full load can be falsely triggered. It also generates more inductor core loss since the current ripple is larger. Larger inductor current ripple also implies larger output voltage ripple with the same output capacitors. With peak current mode control, it is recommended to have adequate amount of inductor ripple current. A larger inductor ripple current improves the comparator signal-to-noise ratio. For this design example, choose K IND = 0.4. The minimum inductor value is calculated to be 15.36 µH. Choose the nearest standard 15-µH ferrite inductor with a capability of 1.5-A RMS current and 2.5-A saturation current. LMR50410 SLUSDW3A – APRIL 2020 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2020 www.ti.com

9.2.2.5 Output Capacitor Selection

The device is designed to be used with a wide variety of LC filters. It is generally desired to minimize the output capacitance to keep cost and size down. The output capacitor or capacitors, C OUT, must be chosen with care since it directly affects the steady state output voltage ripple, loop stability, and output voltage overshoot and undershoot during load current transient. The output voltage ripple is essentially composed of two parts. One part is caused by the inductor ripple current flowing through the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of the output capacitors: OUT_ESR L IND OUTû9 ûL × ESR = K × I × ESR (10) The other part is caused by the inductor current ripple charging and discharging the output capacitors: L IND OUT OUT_C SW OUT SW OUT ûL . × I û9 8 × f × C 8 × f × C (11) The two components of the voltage ripple are not in-phase, therefore, the actual peak-to-peak ripple is less than the sum of the two peaks. Output capacitance is usually limited by transient performance specifications if the system requires tight voltage regulation with presence of large current steps and fast slew rates. When a large load step occurs, output capacitors provide the required charge before the inductor current can slew to an appropriate level. The control loop of the converter usually requires eight or more clock cycles to regulate the inductor current equal to the new load level during this time. The output capacitance must be large enough to supply the current difference for 8 clock cycles to maintain the output voltage within the specified range. Equation 12 shows the minimum output capacitance needed for a specified VOUT overshoot and undershoot. OH OL OUT SW OUT_SHOOT 8 × I - I1C > × 2 f × û9 (12) where

  • KIND = Ripple ratio of the inductor current (ΔiL / IOUT)
  • IOL = Low level output current during load transient
  • IOH = High level output current during load transient
  • VOUT_SHOOT = Target output voltage overshoot or undershoot For this design example, the target output ripple is 30 mV. Assuming ΔVOUT_ESR = Δ VOUT_C = 30 mV, choose KIND = 0.4. Equation 10 yields ESR no larger than 75 m Ω and Equation 11 yields C OUT no smaller than 2.38 µF. For the target overshoot and undershoot limitation of this design, ΔVOUT_SHOOT = 8% × VOUT = 400 mV. The COUT can be calculated to be no less than 14.3 µF by Equation 12. In summary, the most stringent criteria for the output capacitor is 14.3 µF. Considering derating, one 22-µF, 10-V, X7R ceramic capacitor with 10-mΩ ESR is used. www.ti.com LMR50410 SLUSDW3A – APRIL 2020 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2020 Copyright © 2022 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 19 Product Folder Links: LMR50410

9.2.2.6 Input Capacitor Selection

The LMR50410 device requires a high frequency input decoupling capacitor or capacitor. The typical recommended value for the high frequency decoupling capacitor is 2.2 µF or higher. A high-quality ceramic type X5R or X7R with sufficiency voltage rating is recommended. The voltage rating must be greater than the maximum input voltage. To compensate the derating of ceramic capacitors, a voltage rating of twice the maximum input voltage is recommended. For this design, one 2.2-µF, X7R dielectric capacitor rated for 50 V is used for the input decoupling capacitor. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) is approximately 10 mΩ, and the current rating is 1 A. Include a capacitor with a value of 0.1 µF for high-frequency filtering and place it as close as possible to the device pins.

9.2.2.7 Bootstrap Capacitor

Every LMR50410 design requires a bootstrap capacitor, C BOOT. The recommended bootstrap capacitor is 0.1 µF and rated at 16 V or higher. The bootstrap capacitor is located between the SW pin and the CB pin. The bootstrap capacitor must be a high-quality ceramic type with X7R or X5R grade dielectric for temperature stability.

9.2.2.8 Undervoltage Lockout Set-Point

The system undervoltage lockout (UVLO) is adjusted using the external voltage divider network of R ENT and RENB. The UVLO has two thresholds, one for power up when the input voltage is rising and one for power down or brown outs when the input voltage is falling. Equation 13 can be used to determine the VIN UVLO level. ENT ENB IN_RISING ENH ENB R + RV = V × R (13) The EN rising threshold (VENH) for LMR50410 is set to be 1.23 V (typical). Choose a value of 200 k Ω for RENB to minimize input current from the supply. If the desired V IN UVLO level is at 6.0 V, then the value of R ENT can be calculated using Equation 14: IN_RISING ENT ENB ENH VR = - 1 × RV § · ¨ ¸ ¨ ¸ © ¹ (14) The above equation yields a value of 775.6 k Ω, a standard value of 768 k Ω is selected. The resulting falling UVLO threshold, equals 5.3 V, can be calculated by Equation 15 where EN hysteresis voltage, V EN_HYS, is 0.13 V (typical).

10 Power Supply Recommendations

The LMR50410 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 4.0 V and 36 V. This input supply must be well-regulated and able to withstand maximum input current and maintain a stable voltage. The resistance of the input supply rail must be low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high enough drop at the LMR50410 supply voltage that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the LMR50410 additional bulk capacitance can be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. The amount of bulk capacitance is not critical, but a 10-µF or 22-µF electrolytic capacitor is a typical choice. www.ti.com LMR50410 SLUSDW3A – APRIL 2020 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2020 Copyright © 2022 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 23 Product Folder Links: LMR50410

11 Layout

11.1 Layout Guidelines

Layout is a critical portion of good power supply design. The following guidelines will help users design a PCB with the best power conversion performance, thermal performance, and minimized generation of unwanted EMI. 1. The input bypass capacitor CIN must be placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins. Grounding for both the input and output capacitors should consist of localized top side planes that connect to the GND pin. 2. Minimize trace length to the FB pin net. Both feedback resistors, RFBT and RFBB, must be located close to the FB pin. If VOUT accuracy at the load is important, make sure VOUT sense is made at the load. Route VOUT sense path away from noisy nodes and preferably through a layer on the other side of a shielded layer. 3. Use ground plane in one of the middle layers as noise shielding and heat dissipation path if possible. 4. Make VIN, VOUT, and ground bus connections as wide as possible. This reduces any voltage drops on the input or output paths of the converter and maximizes efficiency. 5. Provide adequate device heat-sinking. GND, VIN, and SW pins provide the main heat dissipation path, make the GND, VIN, and SW plane area as large as possible. Use an array of heat-sinking vias to connect the top side ground plane to the ground plane on the bottom PCB layer. If the PCB has multiple copper layers, these thermal vias can also be connected to inner layer heat-spreading ground planes. Ensure enough copper area is used for heat-sinking to keep the junction temperature below 125°C.

11.1.1 Compact Layout for EMI Reduction

Radiated EMI is generated by the high di/dt components in pulsing currents in switching converters. The larger area covered by the path of a pulsing current, the more EMI is generated. High frequency ceramic bypass capacitors at the input side provide primary path for the high di/dt components of the pulsing current. Placing a ceramic bypass capacitor or capacitors as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins is the key to EMI reduction. The SW pin connecting to the inductor must be as short as possible, and just wide enough to carry the load current without excessive heating. Short, thick traces or copper pours (shapes) must be used for high current conduction path to minimize parasitic resistance. The output capacitors must be placed close to the V OUT end of the inductor and closely grounded to GND pin.

11.1.2 Feedback Resistors

To reduce noise sensitivity of the output voltage feedback path, it is important to place the resistor divider close to the FB pin, rather than close to the load. The FB pin is the input to the error amplifier, so it is a high impedance node and very sensitive to noise. Placing the resistor divider closer to the FB pin reduces the trace length of FB signal and reduces noise coupling. The output node is a low impedance node, so the trace from VOUT to the resistor divider can be long if short path is not available. If voltage accuracy at the load is important, make sure voltage sense is made at the load. Doing so corrects for voltage drops along the traces and provides the best output accuracy. The voltage sense trace from the load to the feedback resistor divider must be routed away from the SW node path and the inductor to avoid contaminating the feedback signal with switch noise, while also minimizing the trace length. This is most important when high value resistors are used to set the output voltage. It is recommended to route the voltage sense trace and place the resistor divider on a different layer than the inductor and SW node path, such that there is a ground plane in between the feedback trace and inductor/SW node polygon. This provides further shielding for the voltage feedback path from EMI noises. LMR50410 SLUSDW3A – APRIL 2020 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2020 www.ti.com
