3 Description
The LP55281 device is a quadruple RGB LED driver
for handheld devices. It can drive 4 RGB LED sets
and a single fun-light LED. The boost DC-DC
converter drives high current loads with high
efficiency. The RGB driver can drive individual color
LEDs or RGB LEDs powered from boost output or
external supply. Built-in audio synchronization feature
allows user to synchronize the fun-light LED to audio
inputs. The flexible SPI or I2C interface allows easy
control of LP55281. A small YZR0036 or YPG0036
package, together with minimum number of external
components, is a best fit for handheld devices. The
LP55281 also has an LED test feature, which can be
used, for example, in production for checking the LED
connections.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pins.
(3) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications.
(4) Battery/Charger voltage must be above 6 V, and no more than 10% of the operational lifetime.
(5) Voltage tolerance of LP55281 above 6 V relies on fact that VVDD1 and VVDD2 (2.8 V) are available (ON) at all conditions. If VVDD1 and
VVDD2 are not available (ON) at all conditions, Texas Instruments does not ensure any parameters or reliability for this device.
(6) Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ= 160°C (typical) and
disengages at TJ= 140°C (typical)

(1) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pins.
(2) In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may
have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP =
125°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the
part/package in the application (RθJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP (RθJA x PD-MAX).

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LP55281 boost DC-DC converter generates a 4-V to 5.3-V supply voltage for the LEDs from single Li-Ion
battery (3 V...4.5 V). The output voltage is controlled with an 8-bit register in 9 steps. The converter is a magnetic
switching PWM mode DC-DC converter with a current limit. When timing resistor RT is 82 k, the converter has
three options for switching frequency: 1 MHz, 1.67 MHz, and 2 MHz (default). Timing resistor defines the internal
oscillator frequency and thus directly affects boost frequency and all internally generated timing (RGB, ALED) of
the circuit.
The LP55281 boost converter uses pulse-skipping elimination to stabilize the noise spectrum. Even with light
load or no load a minimum length current pulse is fed to the inductor. An active load is used to remove the
excess charge from the output capacitor at very light loads. At very light load and when input and output voltages
are very close to each other, the pulse skipping is not completely eliminated. Output voltage must be at least
0.5 V higher than input voltage to avoid pulse skipping. Reducing the switching frequency also reduces the
required voltage difference.
Active load can be disabled with the EN_AUTOLOAD bit. Disabling increases the efficiency at light loads, but the
downside is that pulse skipping will occur. The boost converter must be stopped when there is no load to
minimize the current consumption.
The topology of the magnetic boost converter is called current programmed mode (CPM) control, where the
inductor current is measured and controlled with the feedback. The user can program the output voltage of the
boost converter. The output voltage control changes the resistor divider in the feedback loop.
Figure 10 shows the boost topology with the protection circuitry. Four different protection schemes are
implemented:
1. Overvoltage protection limits the maximum output voltage
Keeps the output below breakdown voltage.
Prevents boost operation if battery voltage is much higher than desired output.
2. Overcurrent protection limits the maximum inductor current
Voltage over switching NMOS is monitored; too high voltages turn the switch off.
3. Feedback break protection prevents uncontrolled operation if FB pin gets disconnected.
4. Duty cycle limiting, done with digital control.

7.3.2 Functionality of RGB LED Outputs (R1-4, G1-4, B1-4)
The LP55281 device has 4 sets of RGB/color LED outputs. Each set has 3 outputs, which can be controlled
individually with a 6-bit PWM control register. The pulsed current level for each LED output is set with a single
external resistor RRGB and a 2-bit coarse adjustment bit for each LED output (see Table 1 and Table 2).

Each RGB set must be enabled separately by setting EN_RGBx bit to 1. The device must be enabled (NSTBY =
1) before the RGB outputs can be activated.
When any of EN_RGBx bits are set to 1 and NSTBY = 1, the RGB driver takes a certain quiescent current from
battery even if all PWM control bits are 0. The quiescent current is dependent on RRGB resistor, and can be
calculated from formula IR_RGB = 1.23 V / RRGB.
7.3.2.1 PWM Control Timing
PWM frequency can be selected from 3 predefined values: 10 kHz, 20 kHz, and 40 kHz. The frequency is
selected with FPWM1 and FPWM0 bits, see Table 3.

Each RGB set has equivalent internal PWM timing between R, G, and B: R has a fixed start time, G has a fixed
mid-pulse time, and B has a fixed-pulse end time. PWM start time for each RGB set is different in order to
minimize the instantaneous current loading due to the current sink switch on transition. See Figure 12 for details.
Figure 12. Timing Diagram
7.3.3 Audio Synchronization
The ALED output can be synchronized to incoming audio with an audio-synchronization feature. Audio
synchronization synchronizes ALED based on the peak amplitude of the input signal. Programmable gain and
automatic gain control function are also available for adjustment of input signal amplitude to light response.
Control of ALED brightness refreshing frequency is done with four different frequency configurations. The
digitized input signal has DC component that is removed by a digital DC-remover (–3 dB at 500 Hz). LP55281
has a 2-channel audio (stereo) input for audio synchronization, as shown in Figure 13. The inputs accept signals
in the range of 0 V to 1.6 V peak-to-peak, and these signals are mixed into a single wave so that they can be
filtered simultaneously.
LP55281 audio synchronization is mainly realized digitally, and it consists of the following signal path blocks (see

The LP55281 device has a single ALED driver. It is a constant current sink with an 8-bit control. ALED driver can
be used as a DC current sink or an audio synchronized current sink. Note, that when the audio synchronization
function is enabled, the 8-bit current control register has no effect.
ALED driver is enabled when audio synchronization is enabled (EN_SYNC = 1) or when ALED[7:0] control byte
has other than 00h value.

With values other than those in Table 7, the current value can be calculated to be (15 mA / 255) × ALED[7:0],
where ALED[7:0] is value in decimals.
Figure 15. Principle of LED Connection to ADC
7.3.4 LED Test Interface
All LED pin voltages and boost output voltage in LP55281 can be measured and value can be read through the
SPI/I2C compatible interface. MUX_LED[3:0] bits in the LED test register (address 12h) are used to select one of
the LED outputs or boost output for measurement. The selected output is connected to the internal ADC through
a 55-kresistor divider. The AD conversion is activated by setting the EN_LTEST bit to 1. The first conversion is
ready after 128 µs from this. The result can be read from the ADC output register (address 13h). The device
executes the AD conversions automatically once in every 128 µs period, as long as the EN_LTEST bit is 1.
User can set the preferred DC current level with the LED driver controls. The PWM of the RGB drivers must be
set to 100% otherwise random variation can appear on results. Note that the 55-kresistor divider causes
small additional current through the LED under measurement.
ADC result can be converted into a voltage value (of the selected pin) by multiplying the ADC result (in decimals)
with 27.345 mV (value of LSB). The calculated voltage value is the voltage between the selected pin and ground.
The internal LDO voltage is used as a reference voltage for the conversion. The accuracy of LDO is ± 3%, which
is defining the overall accuracy. The non-linearity and offset figures are both better than 2LSB.

7.3.4.1 LED Test Procedure
An example of LED test sequence is presented here. Note that user can use incremental write sequence on I2C.
The test sequence consists of the basic setup and measurement phases for all RGB LEDs and boost voltage.
Basic setup phase for the device:
1. Give reset to LP55281 (by power on, NRST pin or write any data to register 60h)

13. Set the preferred value for BLUE4 (write 3Fh, 7Fh, BFh or FFh to register 0Bh)
14. Set the preferred value for ALED (write 01h - FFh to register 0Ch)
15. Dummy write: 00h to register 0Dh (Only if the incremental write sequence is used)
16. Dummy write: 00h to register 0Eh (Only if the incremental write sequence is used)
17. Set preferred boost voltage (write 00h - FFh to register 0Fh)
18. Set preferred boost frequency (write 00h - 07h to register 10h, PWM frequency can be anything)
19. Enable boost and RGB drivers (write CFh to register 11h)
20. Wait 20 ms for the device and boost start-up
Measurement phase:
1. Enable LED test and select output (write 1xh to register 12h)
2. Wait for 128 µs
3. Read ADC output (read register 13h)
4. Go to step 1 of measurement phase and define next output to be measured as many times as needed
5. Disable LED test (write 00h to register 12h) or give reset to the device (see step 1 in basic setup phase)
7.3.4.2 LED Test Time Estimation
Assuming the maximum clock frequencies used in SPI or I2C-compatible interfaces, Table 9 predicts the overall
test sequence time for the test procedure shown above. This estimation gives the shortest time possible.
Incremental write is assumed with I2C. Reset and LED test disable are not included.

7.3.5 7-V Shielding
To shield the LP55281 device from high-input voltages (6 V to 7.2 V), the use of an external 2.8-V LDO is
required. This 2.8-V voltage protects internally the device against high voltage condition. The recommended
connection is shown in the picture below. Internally both logic and analog circuitry works at 2.8-V supply voltage.
Both supply voltage pins should have separate filtering capacitors. TI recommends pulling down the external
LDO voltage when it is disabled in order to minimize the leakage current of the LED outputs.

In cases where high voltage is not an issue, the alternative connection is shown below.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Modes Of Operation
RESET: In the RESET mode all the internal registers are reset to the default values and the device goes to
STANDBY mode after reset. NSTBY control bit is low after reset by default. Reset is entered
always if Reset Register is written, internal Power On Reset is active, or NRST pin is pulled down
externally. The LP55281 can be reset by writing any data to the Reset Register (address 60H).
Power On Reset (POR) will activate during the device startup or when the supply voltage VDD2 falls
below 1.5 V. Once VDD2 rises above 1.5V, POR inactivates, and the device continues to the
STANDBY mode.
STANDBY: The STANDBY mode is entered if the register bit NSTBY is LOW. This is the low power
consumption mode, when all circuit functions are disabled. Registers can be written in this mode
and the control bits are effective immediately after startup.
STARTUP: When NSTBY bit is written high, the INTERNAL STARTUP SEQUENCE powers up all the needed
internal blocks (VREF, Oscillator, etc.). To ensure the correct oscillator initialization, a 10 ms delay
is generated by the internal state-machine. If the device temperature rises too high, the Thermal
Shutdown (TSD) disables the device operation and STARTUP mode is entered until no thermal
shutdown is present.
BOOST STARTUP: Soft start for boost output is generated in the BOOST STARTUP mode. The boost output is
raised in PWM mode during the 10 ms delay generated by the state-machine. The Boost startup is
entered from Internal Startup Sequence if EN_BOOST is HIGH or from Normal mode when
EN_BOOST is written HIGH. During the 10 ms Boost Startup time all LED outputs are switched off
to ensure smooth startup.
NORMAL: During NORMAL mode the user controls the device using the Control Registers. The registers can
be written in any sequence and any number of bits can be altered in a register in one write.

7.5 Programming
The LP55281 supports two different interface modes:
SPI Interface (4-wire, serial)
I2C Compatible Serial Bus Interface
User can define the serial interface by IF_SEL pin. If IF_SEL = 0, I2C mode is selected.
7.5.1 SPI Interface
The LP55281 is compatible with SPI serial-bus specification and it operates as a slave. The transmission
consists of 16-bit write and read cycles. One cycle consists of a 7 address bits, 1 read/write (RW) bit and 8 data
bits. RW bit high state defines a write cycle and low a read cycle. SO output is normally in high-impedance state
and it is active only when data is sent out during a read cycle. A pullup resistor may be needed in SO line if a
floating logic signal can cause unintended current consumption in the input circuits where SO is connected. The
Address and Data are transmitted MSB first. The slave select signal (SS) must be low during the cycle
transmission. SS resets the interface when high and it has to be taken high between successive cycles. Data is
clocked in on the rising edge of the clock signal (SCK), while data is clocked out on the falling edge of SCK.
Figure 18. SPI Write Cycle
Figure 19. SPI Read Cycle
7.5.2 I2C Compatible Serial Bus Interface
7.5.2.1 Interface Bus Overview
The I2C compatible synchronous serial interface provides access to the programmable functions and registers on
the device. This protocol uses a two-wire interface for bidirectional communications between the devices
connected to the bus. The two interface lines are the serial data line (SDA) and the serial clock line (SCL). These
lines should be connected to a positive supply, via a pullup resistor and remain HIGH even when the bus is idle.
For every device on the bus is assigned a unique address and it acts as a master or a slave, depending on
whether it generates or receives the SCL. When LP55281 is connected in parallel with other I2C compatible
devices, the LP55281 supply voltages VDD1, VDD2 and VDDIO must be active. Supplies are required to make sure
that the LP55281 does not disturb the SDA and SCL lines.

7.5.2.2 Data Transactions
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. Data is sampled during the high state of the SCL.
Consequently, throughout the clock's high period, the data should remain stable. Any changes on the SDA line
during the high states of the SCL and in the middle of the transaction, aborts the current transaction. New data
should be sent during the low SCL state. This protocol permits a single data line to transfer both
command/control information and data using the synchronous serial clock.
Figure 20. Data Validity
Each data transaction is composed of a start condition, a number of byte transfers (set by the software) and a
stop condition to terminate the transaction. Every byte written to the SDA bus must be 8 bits long and is
transferred with the most significant bit first. After each byte, an acknowledge signal must follow. The following
sections provide further details of this process.
Figure 21. Acknowledge Signal
The Master device on the bus always generates the start and stop conditions (control codes). After a start
condition is generated, the bus is considered busy and it retains this status until a certain time after a stop
condition is generated. A high-to-low transition of the data line (SDA), while the clock (SCL) is high, indicates a
Start Condition. A low-to-high transition of the SDA line, while the SCL is high, indicates a stop condition.

In addition to the first start condition, a repeated start condition can be generated in the middle of a transaction.
This allows another device to be accessed or a register read cycle.
7.5.2.3 Acknowledge Cycle
The acknowledge cycle consists of two signals: the acknowledge clock pulse the master sends with each byte
transferred, and the acknowledge signal sent by the receiving device.
The master generates the acknowledge clock pulse on the ninth clock pulse of the byte transfer. The transmitter
releases the SDA line (permits it to go high) to allow the receiver to send the acknowledge signal. The receiver
must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse and ensure that SDA remains low during the
high period of the clock pulse, thus signaling the correct reception of the last data byte and its readiness to
receive the next byte.
7.5.2.4 Acknowledge After Every Byte Rule
The master generates an acknowledge clock pulse after each byte transfer. The receiver sends an acknowledge
signal after every byte received.
There is one exception to theacknowledge after every byte rule. When the master is the receiver, it must indicate
to the transmitter an end of data by not-acknowledging (negative acknowledge) the last byte clocked out of the
slave. This negative acknowledge still includes the acknowledge clock pulse (generated by the master), but the
SDA line is not pulled down.
7.5.2.5 Addressing Transfer Formats
Each device on the bus has a unique slave address. The LP55281 operates as a slave device with 7-bit address.
LP55281 I2C address is pin selectable from two different choices. The LP55281 address is 4Ch (SI/A0 = 0) or
4Dh (SI/A0 = 1) as selected with SI/A0 pin. If eighth bit is used for programming, the 8th bit is 1 for read and 0 for
write.
Before any data is transmitted, the master transmits the address of the slave being addressed. The slave device
should send an acknowledge signal on the SDA line, once it recognizes its address.
The slave address is the first seven bits after a start condition. The direction of the data transfer (R/W) depends
on the bit sent after the slave address (the eighth bit).
When the slave address is sent, each device in the system compares this slave address with its own. If there is a
match, the device considers itself addressed and sends an acknowledge signal. Depending upon the state of the
R/W bit (1 for read, 0 for write), the device acts as a transmitter or a receiver.

DESIGN PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
Input voltage 3 V
Output voltage 5 V
SW pin current limit 550 mA (minimum)
Efficiency 75%
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The output current can be approximated by using this formula: IOUT = (VIN × ISW_MAX × efficiency) / VOUT.
Example: 3 V × 550 mA × 0.75 / 5 V = 248 mA
8.2.2.1 Recommended External Components
8.2.2.1.1 Output Capacitor, COUT
The output capacitor COUT directly affects the magnitude of the output ripple voltage. In general, the higher the
value of COUT, the lower the output ripple magnitude. Multilayer ceramic capacitors with low ESR are the best
choice. At the lighter loads, the low ESR ceramics offer a much lower VOUT ripple than the higher ESR tantalums
of the same value. At the higher loads, the ceramics offer a slightly lower VOUT ripple magnitude than the
tantalums of the same value. However, the dv/dt of the VOUT ripple with the ceramics is much lower than the
tantalums under all load conditions. Capacitor voltage rating must be sufficient, TI recommends 10 V or greater.
Some ceramic capacitors, especially those in small packages, exhibit a strong capacitance reduction with the
increased applied voltage. The capacitance value can fall to below half of the nominal capacitance. Output
capacitance that is too low increase the noise, and it can make the boost converter unstable.

8.2.2.1.4 Output Diode, D1
A Schottky diode must be used for the output diode. To maintain high efficiency the average current rating of the
Schottky diode must be larger than the peak inductor current (1 A). Schottky diodes with a low forward drop and
fast switching speeds are ideal for increasing efficiency in portable applications. Choose a reverse breakdown of
the Schottky diode larger than the output voltage. Do not use ordinary rectifier diodes, since slow switching
speeds and long recovery times cause the efficiency and the load regulation to suffer.
8.2.2.1.5 Inductor, L
The high switching frequency of the LP55281 device enables the use of the small surface mount inductor. A 4.7-
µH shielded inductor is suggested for 2-MHz operation, use 10 µH at 1 MHz. The inductor should have a
saturation current rating higher than the peak current it will experience during circuit operation (approximately 1
A). Less than 300-mESR is suggested for high efficiency. Open core inductors cause flux linkage with circuit
components and interfere with the normal operation of the circuit. This should be avoided. For high efficiency,
choose an inductor with a high frequency core material such as ferrite to reduce the core losses. To minimize
radiated noise, use a toroid, pot core or shielded core inductor. TI recommends inductors LPS3015 and LPS4012
from Coilcraft and VLF4012 from TDK.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LP55281 is designed to operate from an input supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. This input supply must be well
regulated and able to provide the peak current required by the LED configuration without voltage drop under load
transients (enable on/off). The resistance of the input supply rail should be low enough such that the input
current transient does not cause the LP55281 supply voltage to droop more than 5%. Additional bulk decoupling
located close to the input capacitor (CIN) may be required to minimize the impact of the input supply rail
resistance.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The inductive boost converter of the LP55281 regulates a switched voltage at the SW pin, and a step current (up
to ICL) through the Schottky diode and output capacitor each switching cycle. The switching voltage can create
interference into nearby nodes due to electric field coupling (I = CdV/dt). The large step current through the diode
and the output capacitor can cause a large voltage spike at the SW pin and the OUT pin due to parasitic
inductance in the step current conducting path (V = Ldi/dt). Board layout guidelines are geared towards
minimizing this electric field coupling and conducted noise.
The following list details the main (layout sensitive) areas of the LP55281 device's inductive boost converter in
order of decreasing importance:
Output Capacitor
Schottky cathode to COUT+
COUT– to GND
Schottky Diode
SW pin to Schottky anode
Schottky Cathode to COUT+
Inductor
SW Node PCB capacitance to other traces
Input Capacitor
CIN+ to IN pin
10.1.1 Boost Output Capacitor Placement
Because the output capacitor is in the path of the inductor current discharge path it detects a high-current step
from 0 to IPEAK each time the switch turns off and the Schottky diode turns on. Any parasitic inductance (LP_)
along this series path from the cathode of the diode through COUT and back into the GND pin of the LP55281
device GND pin contributes to voltage spikes (VSPIKE = LP_ × di/dt) at SW and FB. These spikes can
potentially over-voltage the SW pin, or feed through to GND. To avoid this, COUT+ must be connected as close
as possible to the cathode of the Schottky diode, and COUTmust be connected as close the the GND pin of
the device as possible. The best placement for COUT is on the same layer as the LP55281 in order to avoid any
vias that can add excessive series inductance.
10.1.2 Schottky Diode Placement
In the boost circuit of the LP55281 device the Schottky diode is in the path of the inductor current discharge. As
a result the Schottky diode sees a high-current step from 0 to IPEAK each time the switch turns off and the diode
turns on. Any parasitic inductance (LP) in series with the diode causes a voltage spike (VSPIKE = LP × di/dt) at
SW and OUT. This can potentially over-voltage the SW pin, or feed through to VOUT and through the output
capacitor and into GND. Connecting the anode of the diode as close as possible to the SW pin and the cathode
of the diode as close as possible to COUT and reduces the parasitic inductance and minimize these voltage
spikes.
10.1.3 Inductor Placement
The node where the inductor connects to the LP55281 device's SW pin has 2 concerns. First, the switched
voltage (0 to VOUT + VF_SCHOTTKY) appears on this node every switching cycle. This switched voltage can be
capacitively coupled into nearby nodes. Second, there is a relatively large current (input current) on the traces
connecting the input supply to the inductor and connecting the inductor to the SW bump. Any resistance in this
path can cause voltage drops that can negatively affect efficiency and reduce the input operating voltage range.
To reduce the capacitive coupling of the signal on SW into nearby traces, the SW bump-to-inductor connection
must be minimized in area. This limits the PCB capacitance from SW to other traces. Additionally, high
impedance nodes that are more susceptible to electric field coupling need to be routed away from SW and not
directly adjacent or beneath. This is especially true for sensitive analog signals (ASE1, ASE2, FB, IRT, IRGB,
VREF). A GND plane placed directly below SW dramatically reduces the capacitance from SW into nearby
traces. Lastly, limit the trace resistance of the VIN to inductor connection and from the inductor to SW
connection, by use of short, wide traces.

10.1.4 Boost Input Capacitor Placement
Close placement of the input capacitor to the IN pin and to the GND pin is critical because any series inductance
between IN and CIN+ or CINand GND can create voltage spikes that could appear on the VIN supply line and
in the GND plane. Close placement of the input bypass capacitor at the input side of the inductor is also critical.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.

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.
