package. With  
a minimum number of external  
components and internal loop compensation, the  
LM26400Y is easy to use.  
500-kHz PWM Frequency  
Separate Enable Pins  
The ability to drive 2-A loads with an internal 175-m  
NMOS switch using state-of-the-art 0.5-µm BiCMOS  
technology results in a high-power density design.  
The world class control circuitry allows for an ON-  
time as low as 40 ns, thus supporting high-frequency  
conversion over the entire input range of 3 V to 20 V  
and down to an output voltage of only 0.6 V. The  
LM26400Y utilizes peak current-mode control and  
internal compensation to provide high-performance  
regulation over a wide range of line and load  
conditions. Switching frequency is internally set to  
500 kHz, optimal for a broad range of applications in  
terms of size versus thermal tradeoffs.  
Separate Soft-Start Pins  
Frequency Foldback Protection  
175-mNMOS Switch  
Integrated Bootstrap Diodes

7 Detailed Description  
7.1 Overview  
The LM26400Y device is a dual PWM peak-current mode buck regulator with two integrated power MOSFET  
switches. The part is designed to be easy to use. The two regulators are mostly identical and share the same  
input voltage and the same reference voltage (0.6 V). The two PWM clocks are of the same frequency but 180°  
out of phase. The two channels can have different soft-start ramp slopes and can be turned on and off  
independently.  
Loop compensation is built in. The feedback loop design is optimized for ceramic output capacitors.  
Since the power switches are built in, the achievable output current level also has to do with thermal environment  
of the specific application. The LM26400Y enters thermal shutdown when the junction temperature exceeds  
approximately 165°C.

7.3 Feature Description  
7.3.1 Overcurrent Protection  
The instantaneous switch current is limited to a typical of 3 Amperes. Any time the switch current reaches that  
value, the switch will be turned off immediately. This will result in a smaller duty cycle than normal, which will  
cause the output voltage to dip. The output voltage will continue drooping until the load draws a current that is  
equal to the peak-limited inductor current. As the output voltage droops, the FB pin voltage will also droop  
proportionally. When the FB voltage dips below 0.35 V or so, the PWM frequency will start to decrease. The  
lower the FB voltage the lower the PWM frequency. See Figure 10.

SNVS457D FEBRUARY 2007REVISED OCTOBER 2015  
Feature Description (continued)  
The frequency foldback helps two things. One is to prevent the switch current from running away as a result of  
the finite minimum ON-time (40 ns or so for the LM26400Y) and the small duty cycle caused by lowered output  
voltage due to the current limit. The other is it also helps reduce thermal stress both in the IC and the external  
diode.  
The current limit threshold of the LM26400Y remains constant over all duty cycles.  
One thing to pay attention to is that recovery from an overcurrent condition does not go through a soft-start  
process. This is because the reference voltage at the noninverting input of the error amplifier always sits at 0.6 V  
during the overcurrent protection. So if the overcurrent condition is suddenly removed, the regulator will bring the  
FB voltage back to 0.6 V as quickly as possible. This may cause an overshoot in the output voltage. Generally,  
the larger the inductor or the lower the output capacitance the more the overshoot, and vice versa. If the amount  
of such overshoot exceeds the allowed limit for a system, add a CFF capacitor in parallel with the upper feedback  
resistor to eliminate the overshoot. See Load Step Response for more details on CFF.  
When one channel gets into overcurrent protection mode, the operation of the other channel will not be affected.  
7.3.2 Loop Stability  
To the first order approximation, the LM26400Y has a VFB-to-Inductor Current transfer admittance (that is, ratio of  
inductor current to FB pin voltage, in frequency domain) close to the plot in Figure 24. The transfer admittance  
has a DC value of 104 dBS (dBS stands for decibel Siemens. The equivalent of 0 dBS is 1 Siemens.). There is a  
pole at 1 Hz and a zero at approximately 8 kHz. The plateau after the 8 kHz zero is about 27 dBS. There are  
also high frequency poles that are not shown in the figure. They include a double pole at 1.2 MHz or so, and  
another double pole at half the switching frequency. Depending on factors such as inductor ripple size and duty  
cycle, the double pole at half the switching frequency may become two separate poles near half the switching  
frequency.  
Figure 24. VFB-to-Inductor Current Transfer Admittance  
An easy strategy to build a stable loop with reasonable phase margin is to try to cross over from 20 kHz to 100  
kHz, assuming the output capacitor is ceramic. When using pure ceramic capacitors at the output, simply use the  
following equation to find out the crossover frequency.  
where  
22S (22 Siemens) is the equivalent of the 27 dBS transfer admittance  
r is the ratio of 0.6 V to the output voltage  
(1)  
Use the same equation to find out the needed output capacitance for a given crossover frequency. Phase margin  
is typically between 50° and 60°. The above equation is only good for a crossover from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. A  
crossover frequency outside this range may result in lower phase margin and less accurate prediction by the  
above equation.  
Example: VOUT = 2.5 V, COUT = 36 µF, find out the crossover frequency.

Assume the crossover is from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. Then:

The above analysis serves as a starting point. It is a good practice to always verify loop gain on bench.  
7.3.3 Load Step Response  
In general, the excursion in output voltage caused by a load step can be reduced by increasing the output  
capacitance. Besides that, increasing the small-signal loop bandwidth also helps. This can be achieved by  
adding a 27 nF or so capacitor (CFF) in parallel with the upper feedback resistor (assuming the lower feedback  
resistor is 5.9 kΩ). See Figure 25 for an illustration.  
Figure 25. Adding a CFF Capacitor  
The responses to a load step from 0.2 A to 2 A with and without a CFF are shown in Figure 26. The higher loop  
bandwidth as a result of CFF reduces the total output excursion by about 80 mV.  
Figure 26. CFF Improves Load Step Response  
Use the following equation to calculate the new loop bandwidth:  
(3)  
Again, the assumption is the crossover is from 20 kHz to 100 kHz.  
In an extreme case where the load goes to less than 100 mA during a large load step, output voltage may exhibit  
extra undershoot. This usually happens when the load toggles high at the time VOUT just ramps down to its  
regulation level from an overshoot. Figure 27 shows such a case where the load toggles between 1.7 A and only  
50 mA.

Feature Description (continued)  
Figure 27. Extreme Load Step  
In the example, the load first goes down to 50 mA quickly (0.9 A/µs), causing a 90-µs no-switching period, and  
then quickly goes up to 1.7 A when VOUT1 just hits its regulation level (1.2 V), resulting in a large dip of 440 mV in  
the output voltage.  
If it is known in a system design that the load can go down to less than 100 mA during a load step, and that the  
load can toggle high any time after it toggles low, take the following measures to minimize the potential extra  
undershoot. First is to add the Cff mentioned above. Second is to increase the output capacitance.  
For example, to meet a ±10% VOUT excursion requirement for a 100 mA to 2-A load step, approximately 200 µF  
output capacitance is needed for a 1.2-V output, and about 44 µF is needed for a 5-V output.  
7.4 Device Functional Modes  
7.4.1 Start-Up and Shutdown  
During a soft start, the ramp of the output voltage is proportional to the ramp of the SS pin. When the EN pin is  
pulled high, an internal 16-µA current source starts to charge the corresponding SS pin. The capacitance  
between the SS pin and ground determines how fast the SS voltage ramps up. The noninverting input of the  
transconductance error amplifier, that is, the moving reference during soft start, will be the lower of SS voltage  
and the 0.6-V reference (VREF). So before SS reaches 0.6V, the reference to the error amplifier will be the SS  
voltage. When SS exceeds 0.6 V, the noninverting input of the transconductance amplifier will be a constant 0.6  
V and that will be the time soft start ends. The SS voltage will continue to ramp all the way up to the internal 2.7-  
V supply voltage before leveling off.  
To calculate the needed SS capacitance for a given soft-start duration, use Equation 4.  
where  
ISS is SS pin charging current, typically 16 µA  
VREF is the internal reference voltage, typically 0.6 V  
tSS is the desired soft-start duration  
(4)  
For example, if 1 ms is the desired soft-start time, then the nominal SS capacitance should be 25 nF. Apply  
tolerances if necessary. Use the VFB entry in Electrical Characteristics for the VREF tolerance.

Device Functional Modes (continued)  
Inductor current during soft start can be calculated by Equation 5.  
where  
VOUT is the target output voltage  
IOUT is the load current during start-up  
COUT is the output capacitance  
(5)  
For example, if the output capacitor is 10 µF, output voltage is 2.5 V, soft-start capacitor is 10 nF and there is no  
load, then the average inductor current during soft start will be 62.5 mA.  
When EN pin is pulled below 0.4 V or so, the 16-µA current source will stop charging the SS pin. The SS pin will  
be discharged through a 330-internal FET to ground. During this time, the internal power switch will remain  
turned off while the output is discharged by the load.  
If EN is again pulled high before SS and output voltage are completely discharged, soft-start will begin with a  
non-zero reference and the level of the soft-start reference will be the lower of SS voltage and 0.6 V.  
When the output is prebiased, the LM26400Y can usually start up successfully if there is at least a 2-V difference  
between the input voltage and the prebias. An output prebias condition refers to the case when the output is  
sitting at a non-zero voltage at the beginning of a start-up. The key to a successful start-up under such a  
situation is enough initial voltage across the bootstrap capacitor. When an output prebias condition is anticipated,  
the power supply designer should check the start-up behavior under the highest potential prebias.  
A prebias condition caused by a glitch in the enable signal after start-up or by an input brownout condition  
normally is not an issue because the bootstrap capacitor holds its charge much longer than the output  
capacitors.  
Due to the frequency foldback mechanism, the switching frequency during start-up will be lower than the normal  
value before VFB reaches 0.35 V or so. See Figure 10.  
It is generally okay to connect the EN pin to VIN to simplify the system design. However, if the VIN ramp is slow  
and the load current is relatively high during soft start, the VOUT ramp may have a notch in it and a slight  
overshoot at the end of startup. This is due to the reduced load current handling capability of the LM26400Y for  
VIN lower than 5 V. If this kind of behavior is a problem for the system designer, there are two solutions. One is to  
control the EN pin with a logic signal and do not pull the EN high until VIN is above 5 V or so. Make sure the logic  
signal is never higher than VIN by 0.3 V. The other is to use an external 5-V bootstrap bias if it is ready before VIN  
hits 2.7 V or so. See Low Input Voltage Considerations for more information.

8 Application and Implementation  
NOTE  
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component  
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are  
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should  
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.  
8.1 Application Information  
The LM26400Y device will operate with input voltage from 3 V to 20 V and provide two regulated output voltages.  
The device is optimized for high-efficiency operation with minimum number of external components.  
8.2 Typical Applications  
8.2.1 LM26400Y Design Example 1  
8.2.1.1 Design Requirements  
The device must be able to operate at any voltage within the recommended operating range. The load current  
must be defined in order to properly size the inductor, input, and output capacitors .The inductor must be able to  
handle full expected load current as well as the peak current generated load transients and start-up.  
8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure  
The best capacitors for use with the LM26400Y are multi-layer ceramic capacitors. They have the lowest ESR  
(equivalent series resistance) and highest resonance frequency which makes them optimum for use with high  
frequency switching converters. When selecting a ceramic capacitor, only X5R and X7R dielectric types should  
be used. Other types such as Z5U and Y5F have such severe loss of capacitance due to effects of temperature  
variation and applied voltage, they may provide as little as 20% of rated capacitance in many typical applications.  
Always consult capacitor manufacturer’s data curves before selecting a capacitor. High-quality ceramic  
capacitors can be obtained from Taiyo-Yuden, AVX, and Murata.

9 Power Supply Recommendations  
9.1 Low Input Voltage Considerations  
When VIN is from 3 V to 5 V, TI recommends that an external bootstrap bias voltage and a Schottky diode be  
used to handle load currents up to 2 A. See Figure 32 for an illustration.  
Figure 32. External Bootstrap for Low VIN  
The recommended voltage for the external bias is 5 V. Due to the absolute maximum rating of VBST - VSW, the  
external 5-V bias should not be higher than 6 V.  
9.2 Programming Output Voltage  
First make sure the required maximum duty cycle in steady state is less than 80% so that the regulator will not  
lose regulation. The datasheet lower limit for maximum duty cycle is about 90% over temperature (see Electrical  
Characteristics for the accurate value). The maximum duty cycle in steady state happens at low line and full load.  
The output voltage is programmed through the feedback resistors R1 and R2, as illustrated in Figure 33.  
Figure 33. Programming Output Voltage  
TI recommends that the lower feedback resistor R2 always be 5.9 kΩ. This simplifies the selection of the CFF  
value (for an explanation of CFF, see Load Step Response). The 5.9 kΩ is also a suitable R2 value in  
applications that need to increase the output voltage on the fly by paralleling another resistor with R2. Because  
the FB pin is 0.6 V during normal operation, the current through the feedback resistors is normally 0.6 V / 5.9 kΩ  
= 0.1 mA and the power dissipation in R2 is 0.6 V × 0.6 V / 5.9 kΩ = 61 µW - low enough for 0402 size or  
smaller resistors.  
Use Equation 6 to determine the upper feedback resistor R1.  
(6)  
To determine the maximum allowed resistor tolerance, use Equation 7:  
where  
TOL is the set point accuracy of the regulator  
Φ is the tolerance of VFB

Example:  
VOUT = 1.2 V, with a set-point accuracy of ±3.5%.  
(8)  
(9)  
Choose 1% resistors. R2 = 5.90 kΩ.  
10 Layout  
10.1 Layout Guidelines  
There are mainly two considerations for PCB layout - thermal and electrical. For thermal details, see Thermal  
Considerations. Electrical wise, follow the rules below as much as possible. In general, the LM26400Y is a quite  
robust part in terms of insensitivity to different layout patterns or even abuses.  
Keep the input ceramic capacitor(s) as close to the PVIN pins as possible.  
Use internal ground planes when available.  
The SW pins are high current carrying pins so traces connected to them should be short and fat.  
Keep feedback resistors close to the FB pins.  
Keep the AVIN RC filter close to the AVIN pin.  
Keep the voltage feedback traces away from the switch nodes.  
Use six or more vias next to the ground pad of the catch diode.  
Use at least four vias next to the ground pad of output capacitors.  
Use at least four vias next to each pad of the input capacitors.  
For low EMI emission, try not to assign large areas of copper to the noisy switch nodes as a heat sinking  
method. Instead, assign a lot of copper to the output nodes.  
10.1.1 Thermal Shutdown  
Whenever the junction temperature of the LM26400Y exceeds 165°C, the MOSFET switch will be kept off until  
the temperature drops below 150°C, at which point the regulator will go through a hard start to quickly raise the  
output voltage back to normal. Since it is a hard start, there will be an overshoot at the output. See Figure 20.  
10.1.2 Power Loss Estimation  
The total power loss in the LM26400Y comprises of three parts: the power FET conduction loss, the power FET  
switching loss, and the IC's housekeeping power loss. Use Equation 10 to estimate the conduction loss.  
where  
TJ is the junction temperature or the target junction temperature if the former is unknown  
RDS is the ON resistance of the internal FET at room temperature  
(10)  
(11)  
Use 180 mΩ for RDS if the actual value is unknown.  
Use Equation 11 to estimate the switching loss.  
Another loss in the IC is the housekeeping loss. The loss is the power dissipated by circuitry in the IC other than  
the power FETs. The equation is:  
(12)  
The 15 mW is gate drive loss. Do the calculation for both channels and find out the total power loss in the IC.

The power loss calculation can help estimate the overall power supply efficiency.  
Example:  
VIN = 12 V, VOUT1 = 1.2 V, IOUT1 = 2 A, VOUT2 = 2.5 V, IOUT2 = 2 A. Target junction temperature is 90°C.  
So conduction loss in Channel 1 is:  
(14)  
(15)  
Conduction loss in Channel 2 is:  
Switching loss in either channel is:  
(16)  
(17)  
Housekeeping loss is:  
Finally the total power loss in the LM26400Y is:  
(18)  
10.1.3 Inductor Selection  
TI recommends an inductance value that gives a peak-to-peak ripple current of 0.4 A to 0.8 A. Too large of a  
ripple current can reduce the maximum achievable DC load current because the peak current of the switch is  
limited to a typical of 3 A. Too small of a ripple current can cause the regulator to oscillate due to the lack of  
inductor current ramp signal, especially under high input voltages. Use Equation 19 to determine inductance:  
where  
VIN_MAX is the maximum input voltage of the application.  
(19)  
The rated current of the inductor should be higher than the maximum DC load current. Generally speaking, the  
lower the DC resistance of the inductor winding, the higher the overall regulator efficiency.  
Ferrite core inductors are recommended for less AC loss and less fringing magnetic flux. The drawback of ferrite  
core inductors is their quick saturation characteristic. Once the inductor gets saturated, its current can spike up  
very quickly if the switch is not turned off immediately. The current limit circuit has a propagation delay and so is  
oftentimes not fast enough to stop the saturated inductor from going above the current limit. This has the  
potential to damage the internal switch. So to prevent a ferrite core inductor from getting into saturation, the  
inductor saturation current rating should be higher than the switch current limit ICL. The LM26400Y is quite robust  
in handling short pulses of current that is a few amps above the current limit. When a compromise has to be  
made, pick an inductor with a saturation current just above the lower limit of the ICL. Be sure to validate the short-  
circuit protection over the intended temperature range.  
To prevent the inductor from saturating over the entire –40°C to 125°C range, pick one with a saturation current  
higher than the upper limit of ICL in Electrical Characteristics.  
Inductor saturation current is usually lower when hot. So consult the inductor vendor if the saturation current  
rating is only specified at room temperature.

Layout Guidelines (continued)  
Soft saturation inductors such as the iron powder types can also be used. Such inductors do not saturate  
suddenly and therefore are safer when there is a severe overload or even shorted output. Their physical sizes  
are usually smaller than the Ferrite core inductors. The downside is their fringing flux and higher power  
dissipation due to relatively high AC loss, especially at high frequencies.  
Example:  
VOUT = 1.2 V; VIN = 9 V to 14 V; IOUT = 2 A maximum; Peak-to-peak Ripple Current ΔI = 0.6 A.  
(20)  
Choose a 5-µH or so ferrite core inductor that has a saturation current around 3 A at room temperature. For  
example, Sumida's CDRH6D26NP-5R0NC.  
If the maximum load current is significantly lower than 2 A, pick an inductor with the same saturation rating as a  
2-A design but with a lowered DC current rating. That should result in a smaller inductor. There are not many  
choices, though. Another possibility is to use a soft saturation type inductor, whose size will be dominated by the  
DC current rating.  
10.1.4 Output Capacitor Selection  
Output capacitors in a buck regulator handles the AC current from the inductor and so have little ripple RMS  
current and their power dissipation is not a concern. The concern usually revolves around loop stability and  
capacitance retention.  
The LM26400Y's internal loop compensation was designed around ceramic output capacitors. From a stability  
point of view, the lower the output voltage, the more capacitance is needed.  
Below is a quick summary of temperature characteristics of some commonly used ceramic capacitors. So an  
X7R ceramic capacitor means its capacitance can vary ±15% over the temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.

Z: +10°C  
7: +125°C  
U: +22%, –56%  
V: +22%, –82%  
8: +150°C  
Besides the variation of capacitance over temperature, the actual capacitance of ceramic capacitors also vary,  
sometimes significantly, with applied DC voltage. Figure 34 illustrates such a characteristic of several ceramic  
capacitors of various physical sizes from Murata. Unless the DC voltage across the capacitor is going to be small  
relative to its rated value, going to too small a physical size will have the penalty of losing significant capacitance  
during circuit operation.

SNVS457D FEBRUARY 2007REVISED OCTOBER 2015  
The amount of output capacitance directly contributes to the output voltage ripple magnitude. A quick way to  
estimate the output voltage ripple is to multiply the inductor peak-to-peak ripple current by the impedance of the  
output capacitors. For example, if the inductor ripple current is 0.6 A peak-to-peak, and the output capacitance is  
44 µF, then the output voltage ripple should be close to 0.6 A × (6.28 × 500 kHz × 44 µF)-1 = 4.3 mV. Sometimes  
when a large ceramic capacitor is used, the switching frequency may be higher than the capacitor's self  
resonance frequency. In that case, find out the true impedance at the switching frequency and then multiply that  
value by the ripple current to get the ripple voltage.  
The amount of output capacitance also impacts the stability of the feedback loop. Refer to Loop Stability for  
guidelines.  
10.1.5 Input Capacitor Selection  
The input capacitors provide the AC current needed by the nearby power switch so that current provided by the  
upstream power supply does not carry a lot of AC content, generating less EMI. To the buck regulator in  
question, the input capacitor also prevents the drain voltage of the FET switch from dipping when the FET is  
turned on, therefore providing a healthy line rail for the LM26400Y to work with. Since typically most of the AC  
current is provided by the local input capacitors, the power loss in those capacitors can be a concern. In the case  
of the LM26400Y regulator, since the two channels operate 180° out of phase, the AC stress in the input  
capacitors is less than if they operated in phase. The measure for the AC stress is called input ripple RMS  
current. It is strongly recommended that at least one 4.7-µF ceramic capacitor be placed next to the PVIN pins.  
Bulk capacitors such as electrolytic capacitors or OSCON capacitors can be added to help stabilize the local line  
voltage, especially during large load transient events. As for the ceramic capacitors, use X7R , X6S, or X5R  
types. They maintain most of their capacitance over a wide temperature range. Try to avoid sizes smaller than  
0805. Otherwise significant drop in capacitance may be caused by the DC bias voltage. See Output Capacitor  
Selection section for more information. The DC voltage rating of the ceramic capacitor should be higher than the  
highest input voltage.  
Capacitor temperature is a major concern in board designs. While using a 4.7-µF or higher MLCC as the input  
capacitor is a good starting point, it is a good idea to check the temperature in the real thermal environment to  
make sure the capacitors are not over heated. Capacitor vendors may provide curves of ripple RMS current  
versus temperature rise, based on a designated thermal impedance. In reality, the thermal impedance may be  
very different. So it is always a good idea to check the capacitor temperature on the board.  
Because the duty cycles of the two channels may overlap, calculation of the input ripple RMS current is a little  
tedious. Use Equation 21:  
where  
I1 is Channel 1's maximum output current  
I2 is Channel 2's maximum output current  
d1 is the non-overlapping portion of Channel 1's duty cycle, D1  
d2 is the non-overlapping portion of Channel 2's duty cycle, D2  
d3 is the overlapping portion of the two duty cycles  
Iav is the average input current, Iav= I1 × D1 + I2 × D2  
(21)  
To quickly determine the values of d1, d2, and d3, refer to the decision tree in Figure 35. To determine the duty  
cycle of each channel, use D = VOUT/VIN for a quick result or use the following equation for a more accurate  
result.  
where  
RDC is the winding resistance of the inductor  
RDS is the ON-resistance of the MOSFET switch.  
(22)  
Example:  
VIN = 5 V, VOUT1 = 3.3 V, IOUT1 = 2 A, VOUT2 = 1.2 V, IOUT2 = 1.5 A, RDS = 170 mΩ, RDC = 30 mΩ. (IOUT1 is the  
same as I1 in the input ripple RMS current equation, IOUT2 is the same as I2).

First, find out the duty cycles. Plug the numbers into the duty cycle equation and we get D1 = 0.75, and D2 =  
0.33. Next, follow the decision tree in Figure 35 to find out the values of d1, d2, and d3. In this case, d1 = 0.5, d2  
= D2 + 0.5 – D1 = 0.08, and d3 = D1 – 0.5 = 0.25. Iav = IOUT1 × D1 + IOUT2 × D2 = 1.995 A. Plug all the numbers  
into the input ripple RMS current equation and the result is Iirrm = 0.77 A.  
Figure 35. Determining d1, d2, and d3  
10.1.6 Catch Diode Selection  
The catch diode should be at least 2-A rated. The most stressful operation for the diode is usually when the  
output is shorted under high line. Always pick a Schottky diode for its lower forward drop and higher efficiency.  
The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least 25% higher than the highest input voltage. The diode  
junction temperature is a main concern here. Always validate the diode's junction temperature in the intended  
thermal environment to make sure its thermally derated maximum current is not exceeded. There are a few 2-A,  
30-V surface mount Schottky diodes available in the market. Diodes have a negative temperature coefficient, so  
do not put two diodes in parallel to achieve a lower temperature rise. Current will be hogged by one of the diodes  
instead of shared by the two. Use a larger package for that purpose.  
10.2 Layout Example  
Figure 36. PCB Layout Example  
10.3 Thermal Considerations  
Due to the low thermal impedance from junction to the die-attach pad (or DAP, exposed metal at the bottom of  
the package), thermal performance heavily depends on PCB copper arrangement. The minimum requirement is  
to have a top-layer thermal pad that is exactly the same size as the DAP. There should be at least nine 8-mil  
thermal vias in the pad. The thermal vias should be connected to internal ground planes (if available) and to a  
ground plane on the bottom layer that is as large as allowed.

SNVS457D FEBRUARY 2007REVISED OCTOBER 2015  
Thermal Considerations (continued)  
In boards that have internal ground planes, extending the top-layer thermal pad outside the body of the package  
to form a "dogbone" shape offers little performance improvement. However, for two-layer boards, the dogbone  
shape on the top layer will provide significant help.  
Predicting on paper with reasonable accuracy the junction temperature of the LM26400Y in a real-world  
application is still an art. Major factors that contribute to the junction temperature but not directly associated with  
the thermal performance of the LM26400Y itself include air speed, air temperature, nearby heating elements and  
arrangement of PCB copper connected to the DAP of the LM26400Y. The RθJA value published in the datasheet  
is based on a standard board design in a single heating element mode and measured in a standard environment.  
The real application is usually completely different from those conditions. So the actual RθJA will be significantly  
different from the datasheet number. The best approach is still to assign as much copper area as allowed to the  
DAP and prototype the design.  
When prototyping the design, it is necessary to know the junction temperature of the LM26400Y to assess the  
thermal margin. The best way to measure the LM26400Y's junction temperature when the board is working in its  
usual mode is to measure the package-top temperature using an infrared thermal imaging camera. Look for the  
highest temperature reading across the case-top. Add two degrees to the measurement result and the number  
should be a pretty good estimate of the junction temperature. Due to the high temperature gradient across the  
case-top, the use of a thermal couple is generally not recommended. If a thermal couple has to be used, try to  
locate the hottest spot on the case-top first and then secure the thermal couple at exactly the same location. The  
thermal couple needs to be a light-gauge type (such as 40-gauge). Apply a small blob of thermal compound to  
the contact point and then secure the thermal couple on the case-top using thermally non-conductive glue.  
If the maximum allowed junction temperature is exceeded, load current has to be lowered to bring the  
temperature back in specification. Or better thermal management such as more air flow needs to be provided.  
As a summary, here is a list of important items to consider:  
Use multi-layer PC boards with internal ground planes.  
Use nine or more thermal vias to connect the top-layer thermal pad to internal ground planes and ground  
copper on the bottom layer.  
Generate as large a ground plane as allowable on outer layers, especially near the package.  
Use 2-oz. copper whenever possible.  
Try to spread out heat generating components.  
The inductors and diodes are heat generating components and should be connected to power or ground  
planes using many vias.
