10.1 Layout Guidelines

For best performance, follow the guidelines below:

  • All traces must be as short as possible.
  • Use wide traces for IN, OUT, and GND to minimize the parasitic electrical effects.
  • A minimum output capacitor of 10 µF with an ESR of 3 Ω or less is recommended to prevent oscillations. X5R and X7R dielectrics are preferred.
  • Place the output capacitor as close as possible to the OUT pin of the device.
  • The exposed thermal pad of the KTT package must be connected to a wide ground plane for effective heat dissipation.

10.3 Calculating Junction Temperature

Given an output voltage of 3.3 V, an input voltage range of 4 V to 6 V, an output current range of 0 mA to 500 mA, and a maximum ambient temperature of 50°C, what is the maximum junction temperature?

The power dissipated by the device is equal to Equation 11.

Equation 11. IOUT(MAX)(VIN(MAX) – VOUT) + IGND(VIN(MAX))

where

  • IOUT(MAX) = 500 mA
  • VIN(MAX) = 6 V
  • IGND at (IOUT = 500 mA, VIN = 6 V) = 10 mA

So, P = 500 mA (6 V – 3.3 V) + 10 mA (6 V) = 1.41 W.

Using a KTT package, the thermal resistance is in the range of 23°C/W to 33°C/W, depending on the copper area. So the junction temperature rise above ambient is approximately equal to Equation 12.

Equation 12. 1.41 W × 28°C/W = 39.5°C

The maximum junction temperature is then be equal to the maximum junction-temperature rise above ambient plus the maximum ambient temperature or Equation 13.

Equation 13. TJMAX = 50°C + 39.5°C = 89.5°C
