SNVSCF2 November 2025 LM65680
PRODUCTION DATA
As shown in Figure 5-1, the LM65680/60/40 has a carefully designed pinout arrangement that provides clearance spacing of at least 0.7mm between high-voltage pins (VIN, SW, and BST) and ground (PGND) to meet IPC-2221B and IPC-9592B external conductor clearance rules. The clearance from VIN1 and VIN2 to the PGND DAP is 1.1mm. The clearance from SW1, SW2, SW3, and BST to the PGND DAP is 0.7mm. In addition, NC (no-connect) pins separate VIN1 and PGND1, VIN2 and PGND2, VIN2 to BST, and BIAS to PG.
Moreover, the pinout is designed for critical applications with stricter quality, safety and reliability requirements. In terms of pin FMEA (failure mode effects analysis), the typical failure scenarios considered include short circuit to ground, short circuit to input supply (VIN), short circuit to an adjacent pin, and if a pin is left open circuit. These faults are considered as applied external to the IC and therefore designated as board-level failures rather than IC-level reliability failures. Example sources of such faults are stray conductive filaments causing pin-to-pin shorts or a board manufacturing defect causing an open-circuit track.
