SBASA73A July 2020 – May 2021 AMC3301-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The AMC3301-Q1 is powered from the low-side power supply (VDD) with a nominal value of 3.3 V or 5 V. TI recommends a low-ESR decoupling capacitor of 1 nF (C8 in Figure 9-1) placed as close as possible to the VDD pin, followed by a 1-µF capacitor (C9) to filter this power-supply path.
The low-side of the DC/DC converter is decoupled with a low-ESR 100-nF capacitor (C4) positioned close to the device between the DCDC_IN and DCDC_GND pins. Use a 1-µF capacitor (C2) to decouple the high side in addition to a low-ESR, 1-nF capacitor (C3) placed as close as possible to the device and connected to the DCDC_OUT and DCDC_HGND pins.
For the high-side LDO, use low-ESR capacitors of 1-nF (C6), placed as close as possible to the AMC3301-Q1, followed by a 100-nF decoupling capacitor (C5).
The ground reference for the high-side (HGND) is derived from the terminal of the shunt resistor which is connected to the negative input (INN) of the device. For best DC accuracy, use a separate trace to make this connection instead of shorting HGND to INN directly at the device input. The high-side DC/DC ground terminal (DCDC_HGND) is shorted to HGND directly at the device pins.
Figure 9-1 Decoupling the AMC3301-Q1Capacitors must provide adequate effective capacitance under the applicable DC bias conditions they experience in the application. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) typically exhibit only a fraction of their nominal capacitance under real-world conditions and this factor must be taken into consideration when selecting these capacitors. This problem is especially acute in low-profile capacitors, in which the dielectric field strength is higher than in taller components. Reputable capacitor manufacturers provide capacitance versus DC bias curves that greatly simplify component selection.
Table 9-1 lists components suitable for use with the AMC3301-Q1. This list is not exhaustive. Other components may exist that are equally suitable (or better), however these listed components have been validated during the development of the AMC3301-Q1.
