This easy to use regulator features two integrated switches and is capable of supplying up to 4A of continuous output current. The regulator utilizes peak current mode control with nonlinear slope compensation to optimize stability and transient response over the entire output voltage range. Peak current mode control also provides inherent line feed-forward, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and easy loop compensation. The fixed 1 MHz operating frequency minimizes the inductor size while still achieving efficiencies up to 96%. The precision internal voltage reference allows the output to be set as low as 0.8V. Fault protection features include: current limiting, thermal shutdown, over voltage protection, and shutdown capability. The device is available in the TSSOP 16-pin package featuring an exposed pad to aid thermal dissipation. The LM20124 can be used in numerous applications to efficiently step-down from a 5V or 3.3V bus. The typical application circuit for the LM20124 is shown in Figure 25 in the design guide. PRECISION ENABLE The enable (EN) pin allows the output of the device to be enabled or disabled with an external control signal. This pin is a precision analog input that enables the device when the voltage exceeds 1.18V (typical). The EN pin has 66 mV of hysteresis and will disable the output when the enable voltage falls below 1.11V (typical). If the EN pin is not used, it should be connected to VIN. Since the enable pin has a precise turn-on threshold it can be used along with an external resistor divider network from VIN to configure the device to turn-on at a precise input voltage. The precision enable circuitry will remain active even when the device is disabled.

The compensation can be selected to accommodate any capacitor type or value. The external compensation also allows the user to set the crossover frequency and optimize the transient performance of the device. For duty cycles above 50% all current mode control buck converters require the addition of an artificial ramp to avoid sub-harmonic oscillation. This artificial linear ramp is commonly referred to as slope compensation. What makes the LM20124 unique is the amount of slope compensation will change depending on the output voltage. When operating at high output voltages the device will have more slope compensation than when operating at lower output voltages. This is accomplished in the LM20124 by using a non-linear parabolic ramp for the slope compensation. The parabolic slope compensation of the LM20124 is much better than the traditional linear slope compensation because it optimizes the stability of the device over the entire output voltage range. CURRENT LIMIT The precise current limit of the LM20124 is set at the factory to be within 10% over the entire operating temperature range. This enables the device to operate with smaller inductors that have lower saturation currents. When the peak inductor current reaches the current limit threshold, an over current event is triggered and the internal high-side FET turns off and the low-side FET turns on allowing the inductor current to ramp down until the next switching cycle. For each sequential over-current event, the reference voltage is decremented and PWM pulses are skipped resulting in a current limit that does not aggressively fold back for brief over-current events, while at the same time providing frequency and voltage foldback protection during hard short circuit conditions. SOFT-START AND VOLTAGE TRACKING The SS/TRK pin is a dual function pin that can be used to set the start up time or track an external voltage source. The start up or Soft-Start time can be adjusted by connecting a capacitor from the SS/TRK pin to ground. The Soft-Start feature allows the regulator output to gradually reach the steady state operating point, thus reducing stresses on the input supply and controlling start up current. If no Soft-Start capacitor is used the device defaults to the internal Soft-Start circuitry resulting in a start up time of approximately 1 ms. For applications that require a monotonic start up or utilize the PGOOD pin, an external Soft-Start capacitor is recommended. The SS/TRK pin can also be set to track an external voltage source. The tracking behavior can be adjusted by two external resistors connected to the SS/TRK pin as shown in Figure 30 in the design guide. PRE-BIAS START UP CAPABILITY The LM20124 is in a pre-biased state when the device starts up with an output voltage greater than zero. This often occurs in many multi-rail applications such as when powering an FPGA, ASIC, or DSP. In these applications the output can be pre-biased through parasitic conduction paths from one supply rail to another. Even though the LM20124 is a synchronous converter it will not pull the output low when a pre-bias condition exists. During start up the LM20124 will not sink current until the Soft-Start voltage exceeds the voltage on the FB pin. Since the device can not sink current it protects the load from damage that might otherwise occur if current is conducted through the parasitic paths of the load. POWER GOOD AND OVER VOLTAGE FAULT HANDLING The LM20124 has built in under and over voltage comparators that control the power switches. Whenever there is an excursion in output voltage above the set OVP threshold, the part will terminate the present on-pulse, turnon the low-side FET, and pull the PGOOD pin low. The low-side FET will remain on until either the FB voltage falls back into regulation or the zero cross detection is triggered which in turn tri-states the FETs. If the output reaches the UVP threshold the part will continue switching and the PGOOD pin will be asserted and go low. Typical values for the PGOOD resistor are on the order of 100 k or less. To avoid false tripping during transient glitches the PGOOD pin has 16 s of built in deglitch time to both rising and falling edges. UVLO The LM20124 has a built-in under-voltage lockout protection circuit that keeps the device from switching until the input voltage reaches 2.7V (typical). The UVLO threshold has 45 mV of hysteresis that keeps the device from responding to power-on glitches during start up. If desired the turn-on point of the supply can be changed by using the precision enable pin and a resistor divider network connected to VIN as shown in Figure 29 in the design guide. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2007-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20124 LM20124-Q1 LM20124, LM20124-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS507F - OCTOBER 2007 - REVISED MARCH 2013 THERMAL PROTECTION Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event that the maximum junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 160C, the LM20124 tri-states the power FETs and resets soft start. After the junction cools to approximately 150C, the part starts up using the normal start up routine. This feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating. LIGHT LOAD OPERATION The LM20124 offers increased efficiency when operating at light loads. Whenever the load current is reduced to a point where the peak to peak inductor ripple current is greater than two times the load current, the part will enter the diode emulation mode preventing significant negative inductor current. The point at which this occurs is the critical conduction boundary and can be calculated by the following equation: IBOUNDARY = (VIN VOUT) x D 2 x L x fSW (1) Several diagrams are shown in Figure 24 illustrating continuous conduction mode (CCM), discontinuous conduction mode, and the boundary condition. It can be seen that in diode emulation mode, whenever the inductor current reaches zero the SW node will become high impedance. Ringing will occur on this pin as a result of the LC tank circuit formed by the inductor and the parasitic capacitance at the node. If this ringing is of concern an additional RC snubber circuit can be added from the switch node to ground. At very light loads, usually below 100 mA, several pulses may be skipped in between switching cycles, effectively reducing the switching frequency and further improving light-load efficiency.

Modes of Operation for LM20124 Design Guide This section walks the designer through the steps necessary to select the external components to build a fully functional power supply. As with any DC-DC converter numerous trade-offs are possible to optimize the design for efficiency, size, or performance. These will be taken into account and highlighted throughout this discussion. To facilitate component selection discussions the circuit shown in Figure 25 below may be used as a reference. Unless otherwise indicated all formulas assume units of amps (A) for current, farads (F) for capacitance, henries (H) for inductance and volts (V) for voltages. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2007-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20124 LM20124-Q1 LM20124, LM20124-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS507F - OCTOBER 2007 - REVISED MARCH 2013 L LM20124 VIN RF CIN PVIN EN SW AVIN FB VOUT RFB1 CF COUT VIN RFB2 RPG COMP RC1 CC1 PGOOD VCC SS/TRK PGND GND VPG CVCC CSS Figure 25. Typical Application Circuit The first equation to calculate for any buck converter is duty-cycle. Ignoring conduction losses associated with the FETs and parasitic resistances it can be approximated by: D= VOUT VIN (2) INDUCTOR SELECTION (L) The inductor value is determined based on the operating frequency, load current, ripple current, and duty cycle. The inductor selected should have a saturation current rating greater than the peak current limit of the device. Keep in mind the specified current limit does not account for delay of the current limit comparator, therefore the current limit in the application may be higher than the specified value. To optimize the performance and prevent the device from entering current limit at maximum load, the inductance is typically selected such that the ripple current, iL, is less than 30% of the rated output current. Figure 26, shown below illustrates the switch and inductor ripple current waveforms. Once the input voltage, output voltage, operating frequency, and desired ripple current are known, the minimum value for the inductor can be calculated by the formula shown below: LMIN = (VIN - VOUT) x D 'iL x fSW (3) VSW VIN Time IL IL AVG = IOUT 'IL Time Figure 26. Switch and Inductor Current Waveforms If needed, slightly smaller value inductors can be used, however, the peak inductor current, IOUT + iL/2, should be kept below the peak current limit of the device. In general, the inductor ripple current, iL, should be greater than 10% of the rated output current to provide adequate current sense information for the current mode control loop. If the ripple current in the inductor is too low, the control loop will not have sufficient current sense information and can be prone to instability.

A wide range of output capacitors may be used with the LM20124 that provide excellent performance. The best performance is typically obtained using ceramic, SP, or OSCON type chemistries. Typical trade-offs are that the ceramic capacitor provides extremely low ESR to reduce the output ripple voltage and noise spikes, while the SP and OSCON capacitors provide a large bulk capacitance in a small volume for transient loading conditions. When selecting the value for the output capacitor the two performance characteristics to consider are the output voltage ripple and transient response. The output voltage ripple can be approximated by using the formula shown below. 'VOUT = 'iL x RESR + 1 8 x fSW x COUT (4) Where, VOUT (V) is the amount of peak to peak voltage ripple at the power supply output, RESR () is the series resistance of the output capacitor, fSW(Hz) is the switching frequency, and COUT (F) is the output capacitance used in the design. The amount of output ripple that can be tolerated is application specific; however a general recommendation is to keep the output ripple less than 1% of the rated output voltage. Keep in mind ceramic capacitors are sometimes preferred because they have very low ESR; however, depending on package and voltage rating of the capacitor the value of the capacitance can drop significantly with applied voltage. The output capacitor selection will also affect the output voltage droop during a load transient. The peak droop on the output voltage during a load transient is dependent on many factors; however, an approximation of the transient droop ignoring loop bandwidth can be obtained using the following equation. 2 VDROOP = 'IOUTSTEP x RESR + L x 'IOUTSTEP COUT x (VIN - VOUT) (5) Where, COUT (F) is the minimum required output capacitance, L (H) is the value of the inductor, VDROOP (V) is the output voltage drop ignoring loop bandwidth considerations, IOUTSTEP (A) is the load step change, RESR () is the output capacitor ESR, VIN (V) is the input voltage, and VOUT (V) is the set regulator output voltage. Both the tolerance and voltage coefficient of the capacitor needs to be examined when designing for a specific output ripple or transient drop target. INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION (CIN) Good quality input capacitors are necessary to limit the ripple voltage at the VIN pin while supplying most of the switch current during the on-time. In general it is recommended to use a ceramic capacitor for the input as they provide both a low impedance and small footprint. One important note is to use a good dielectric for the ceramic capacitor such as X5R or X7R. These provide better over temperature performance and also minimize the DC voltage derating that occurs on Y5V capacitors. For most applications, a 22 F, X5R, 6.3V input capacitor is sufficient; however, additional capacitance may be required if the connection to the input supply is far from the PVIN pins. The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible PVIN and PGND pins of the device. Non-ceramic input capacitors should be selected for RMS current rating and minimum ripple voltage. A good approximation for the required ripple current rating is given by the relationship: IIN-RMS = IOUT D(1 - D) (6) As indicated by the RMS ripple current equation, highest requirement for RMS current rating occurs at 50% duty cycle. For this case, the RMS ripple current rating of the input capacitor should be greater than half the output current. For best performance, low ESR ceramic capacitors should be placed in parallel with higher capacitance capacitors to provide the best input filtering for the device. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2007-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20124 LM20124-Q1 LM20124, LM20124-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS507F - OCTOBER 2007 - REVISED MARCH 2013 SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE (RFB1, RFB2) The resistors RFB1 and RFB2 are selected to set the output voltage for the device.

Optimal loop compensation depends on the output capacitor, inductor, load, and the device itself. Table 2 below gives values for the compensation network that will result in a stable system when using a 100 F, 6.3V ceramic X5R output capacitor and 1 H inductor. Table 2.

The overall loop transfer function is the product of the power stage and the feedback network transfer functions. For stability purposes, the objective is to have a loop gain slope that is -20db/decade from a very low frequency to beyond the crossover frequency. Figure 27, shown below, shows the transfer functions for power stage, feedback/compensation network, and the resulting closed loop system for the LM20124.

LM20124 Loop Compensation The power stage transfer function is dictated by the modulator, output LC filter, and load; while the feedback transfer function is set by the feedback resistor ratio, error amp gain, and external compensation network. To achieve a -20dB/decade slope, the error amplifier zero, located at fZ(EA), should positioned to cancel the output filter pole (fP(FIL)). An additional error amp pole, located at fP2(EA), can be added to cancel the output filter zero at fZ(FIL). Cancellation of the output filter zero is recommended if larger value, non-ceramic output capacitors are used. Compensation of the LM20124 is achieved by adding an RC network as shown in Figure 28 below. LM20124 COMP RC1 CC2 (optional) CC1 Figure 28. Compensation Network for LM20124 A good starting value for CC1 for most applictions is 4.7 nF. Once the value of CC1 is chosen the value of RC1 should be calculated using the equation below to cancel the output filter pole (fP(FIL)) as shown in Figure 27. RC1 = 18 x D CC1 IOUT 1-D x + + VIN COUT VOUT fSW x L -1 (8) A higher crossover frequency can be obtained, usually at the expense of phase margin, by lowering the value of CC1 and recalculating the value of RC1. Likewise, increaseing CC1 and recalculating RC1 will provide additional phase margin at a lower crossover frequency. As with any attempt to compensate the LM20124 the stability of the system should be verified for desired transient droop and settling time. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2007-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20124 LM20124-Q1 LM20124, LM20124-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS507F - OCTOBER 2007 - REVISED MARCH 2013 If the output filter zero, fZ(FIL) approaches the crossover frequency (FC), an additional capacitor (CC2) should be placed at the COMP pin to ground. This capacitor adds a pole to cancel the output filter zero assuring the crossover frequency will occur before the double pole at fSW/2 degrades the phase margin. The output filter zero is set by the output capacitor value and ESR as shown in the equation below. fZ(FIL) = 1 2 x S x COUT x RESR (9) If needed, the value for CC2 should be calculated using the equation shown below. CC2 = COUT x RESR RC1 (10) Where RESR is the output capacitor series resistance and RC1 is the calculated compensation resistance. AVIN FILTERING COMPONENTS (CF and RF) To prevent high frequency noise spikes from disturbing the sensitive analog circuitry connected to the AVIN and AGND pins, a high frequency RC filter is required between PVIN and AVIN. These components are shown in Figure 25. as CF and RF. The required value for RF is 1. CF must be used. Recommended value of CF is 1.0 F. The filter capacitor, CF should be placed as close to the IC as possible with a direct connection from AVIN to AGND. A good quality X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor should be used for CF. SUB-REGULATOR BYPASS CAPACITOR (CVCC) The capacitor at the VCC pin provides noise filtering and stability for the internal sub-regulator. The recommended value of CVCC should be no smaller than 1 F and no greater than 10 F. The capacitor should be a good quality ceramic X5R or X7R capacitor. In general, a 1 F ceramic capacitor is recommended for most applications. SETTING THE START UP TIME (CSS) The addition of a capacitor connected from the SS pin to ground sets the time at which the output voltage will reach the final regulated value. Larger values for CSS will result in longer start up times. Table 3 provides a list of soft start capacitors and the corresponding typical start up times. Table 3. Start Up Times for Different Soft-Start Capacitors Start Up Time (ms) CSS (nF) 1 none 5 33 10 68 15 100 20 120 If different start up times are needed the equation shown below can be used to calculate the start up time. tSS = 0.8V x CSS ISS (11) As shown above, the start up time is influenced by the value of the Soft-Start capacitor CSS(F) and the 5 A SoftStart pin current ISS(A). that may be found in the electrical characteristics table. While the Soft-Start capacitor can be sized to meet many start up requirements, there are limitations to its size. The Soft-Start time can never be faster than 1ms due to the internal default 1 ms start up time. When the device is enabled there is an approximate time interval of 50 s when the Soft-Start capacitor will be discharged just prior to the Soft-Start ramp. If the enable pin is rapidly pulsed or the Soft-Start capacitor is large there may not be enough time for CSS to completely discharge resulting in start up times less than predicted. To aid in discharging the Soft-Start capacitor during long disable periods an external 1 M resistor from SS/TRK to ground can be used without greatly affecting the start-up time.

The turn-on of the LM20124 can be controlled with the precision enable pin by using two external resistors as shown in Figure 29. External Power Supply VOUT1 LM20124 RA VOUT2 EN RB Figure 29. Sequencing LM20124 with Precision Enable The value for resistor RB can be selected by the user to control the current through the divider. Typically this resistor will be selected to be between 10 k and 1 M. Once the value for RB is chosen the resistor RA can be solved using the equation below to set the desired turn-on voltage. RA = VTO VIH_EN - 1 x RB (12) When designing for a specific turn-on threshold (VTO) the tolerance on the input supply, enable threshold (VIH_EN), and external resistors needs to be considered to insure proper turn-on of the device. The LM20124 features an open drain power good (PGOOD) pin to sequence external supplies or loads and to provide fault detection. This pin requires an external resistor (RPG) to pull PGOOD high while when the output is within the PGOOD tolerance window. Typical values for this resistor range from 10 k to 100 k. TRACKING AN EXTERNAL SUPPLY By using a properly chosen resistor divider network connected to the SS/TRK pin, as shown in Figure 30, the output of the LM20124 can be configured to track an external voltage source to obtain a simultaneous or ratiometric start up. External Power Supply EN VOUT1 R1 LM20124 VOUT2 SS/TRK R2 Figure 30. Tracking an External Supply Since the Soft-Start charging current ISS is always present on the SS/TRK pin, the size of R2 should be less than 10 k to minimize the errors in the tracking output. Once a value for R2 is selected the value for R1 can be calculated using appropriate equation in Figure 31, to give the desired start up. Figure 31 shows two common start up sequences; the top waveform shows a simultaneous start up while the waveform at the bottom illustrates a ratiometric start up. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2007-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20124 LM20124-Q1 LM20124, LM20124-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS507F - OCTOBER 2007 - REVISED MARCH 2013 SIMULTANEOUS START UP VOLTAGE VOUT1 VOUT2 VOUT2 * -1 x R2 R1 = (c) 0.8V VEN VOUT2 < 0.8 x VOUT1 TIME RATIOMETRIC START UP VOUT1 VOLTAGE VOUT2 R1 = ( VOUT1 -1) x R2 VEN TIME Figure 31. Common Start Up Sequences A simultaneous start up is preferred when powering most FPGAs, DSPs, or other microprocessors. In these systems the higher voltage, VOUT1, usually powers the I/O, and the lower voltage, VOUT2, powers the core. A simultaneous start up provides a more robust power up for these applications since it avoids turning on any parasitic conduction paths that may exist between the core and the I/O pins of the processor. The second most common power on behavior is known as a ratiometric start up. This start up is preferred in applications where both supplies need to be at the final value at the same time. Similar to the Soft-Start function, the fastest start up possible is 1ms regardless of the rise time of the tracking voltage. When using the track feature the final voltage seen by the SS/TRACK pin should exceed 1V to provide sufficient overdrive and transient immunity. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS The thermal characteristics of the LM20124 are specified using the parameter JA, which relates the junction temperature to the ambient temperature. Although the value of JA is dependant on many variables, it still can be used to approximate the operating junction temperature of the device. To obtain an estimate of the device, junction temperature, one may use the following relationship: TJ = PDJA + TA (13) PD = PIN x (1 - Efficiency) - 1.1 x IOUT2 x DCR (14) and Where: TJ is the junction temperature in C. PIN is the input power in Watts (PIN = VIN x IIN). JA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance for the LM20124. TA is the ambient temperature in C. IOUT is the output load current.

It is important to always keep the operating junction temperature (TJ) below 125C for reliable operation. If the junction temperature exceeds 160C the device will cycle in and out of thermal shutdown. If thermal shutdown occurs it is a sign of inadequate heatsinking or excessive power dissipation in the device. Figure 32, shown below, provides a better approximation of the JA for a given PCB copper area. The PCB heatsink area consists of 2oz. copper located on the bottom layer of the PCB directly under the TSSOP exposed pad. The bottom copper area is connected to the TSSOP exposed pad by means of a 4 x 4 array of 12 mil thermal vias. Figure 32. Thermal Resistance vs PCB Area PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss in the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter resulting in poor regulation or instability. Good layout can be implemented by following a few simple design rules. 1. Minimize area of switched current loops. In a buck regulator there are two loops where currents are switched very fast. The first loop starts from the input capacitor, to the regulator VIN pin, to the regulator SW pin, to the inductor then out to the output capacitor and load. The second loop starts from the output capacitor ground, to the regulator PGND pins, to the inductor and then out to the load (see Figure 33). To minimize both loop areas the input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the PVIN pin. Grounding for both the input and output capacitor should consist of a small localized top side plane that connects to PGND and the die attach pad (DAP). The inductor should be placed as close as possible to the SW pin and output capacitor. 2. Minimize the copper area of the switch node. Since the LM20124 has the SW pins on opposite sides of the package it is recommended to via these pins down to the bottom or internal layer with 2 to 4 vias on each SW pin. The SW pins should be directly connected with a trace that runs across the bottom of the package. To minimize IR losses this trace should be no smaller that 50 mils wide, but no larger than 100 mils wide to keep the copper area to a minimum. In general the SW pins should not be connected on the top layer since it could block the ground return path for the power ground. The inductor should be placed as close as possible to one of the SW pins to further minimize the copper area of the switch node. 3. Have a single point ground for all device analog grounds located under the DAP. The ground connections for the compensation, feedback, and Soft-Start components should be connected together then routed to the AGND pin of the device. The AGND pin should connect to PGND under the DAP. This prevents any switched or load currents from flowing in the analog ground plane. If not properly handled poor grounding can result in degraded load regulation or erratic switching behavior. 4. Minimize trace length to the FB pin. Since the feedback node can be high impedance the trace from the output resistor divider to FB pin should be as short as possible. This is most important when high value resistors are used to set the output voltage. The feedback trace should be routed away from the SW pin and inductor to avoid contaminating the feedback signal with switch noise. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2007-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20124 LM20124-Q1 LM20124, LM20124-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS507F - OCTOBER 2007 - REVISED MARCH 2013 5. Make input and output bus connections as wide as possible. This reduces any voltage drops on the input or output of the converter and can improve efficiency. If voltage accuracy at the load is important make sure feedback voltage sense is made at the load. Doing so will correct for voltage drops at the load and provide the best output accuracy. 6. Provide adequate device heatsinking. Use as many vias as is possible to connect the DAP to the power plane heatsink. For best results use a 4x4 via array with a minimum via diameter of 12 mils. See the Thermal Considerations section to insure enough copper heatsinking area is used to keep the junction temperature below 125C. LM20124 L SW PVIN VOUT CIN COUT PGND LOOP1 LOOP2 Figure 33.

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 noncompliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
