(1) Operation outside the Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent device damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings do not imply  
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed under Recommended Operating Conditions.  
If used outside the Recommended Operating Conditions but within the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the device may not be fully  
functional, and this may affect device reliability, functionality, performance, and shorten the device lifetime.  
(2) If this pin has a pull-up up to VIN, it is recommended to use a resistance of 350 kΩ or higher to limit the current under conditions where  
IN can be exposed to reverse polarity.

(1) The input operating voltage should be limited to the selected Output Voltage Clamp threshold as listed in the Electrical Characteristics  
section  
(2) For supply voltages below 5V, it is okay to pull up the EN pin to IN directly. For supply voltages greater than 5V or systems which can  
be exposed to reverse polarity on input supply, it is recommended to use a pull-up resistor with a minimum value of 350 kΩ.  
(3) For systems which can be exposed to reverse polarity on input supply, if this pin is referred to input supply, it is recommended to use a  
pull-up resistor with a minimum value of 350 kΩ to limit the current through the pin.

7.7 Switching Characteristics  
The output rising slew rate is internally controlled and constant across the entire operating voltage range to ensure the  
turn on timing is not affected by the load conditions. The rising slew rate can be adjusted by adding capacitance from  
the dVdt pin to ground. As CdVdt is increased it will slow the rising slew rate (SR). See Slew Rate and Inrush Current  
Control (dVdt) section for more details. The Turn-Off Delay and Fall Time, however, are dependent on the RC time constant  
of the load capacitance (COUT) and Load Resistance (RL). The Switching Characteristics are only valid for the power-up  
sequence where the supply is available in steady state condition and the load voltage is completely discharged before the  
device is enabled.Typical Values are taken at TJ = 25°C unless specifically noted otherwise. VIN = 2.7 V, RL = 100 Ω, COUT

8 Detailed Description  
8.1 Overview  
The TPS2521xx is an eFuse with integrated power path that is used to ensure safe power delivery in a system.  
The device starts its operation by monitoring the IN bus. When the input supply voltage (VIN) exceeds the  
Undervoltage Protection threshold (VUVP), the device samples the EN/UVLO pin. A high level (> VUVLO) on  
this pin enables the internal power path (BFET+HFET) to start conducting and allow current to flow from IN to  
OUT. When EN/UVLO is held low (< VUVLO), the internal power path is turned off. In case of reverse voltages  
appearing at the input, the power path remains OFF thereby protecting the output load.  
After a successful start-up sequence, the device now actively monitors its load current and input voltage, and  
controls the internal HFET to ensure that the user adjustable overcurrent limit threshold (ILIM) is not exceeded  
and overvoltage spikes are either safely clamped to the selected threshold voltage (VOVC). The device also  
provides fast protection against severe overcurrent during short-circuit events. This keeps the system safe from  
harmful levels of voltage and current. At the same time, a user adjustable overcurrent blanking timer allows the  
system to pass moderate transient peaks in the load current profile without tripping the eFuse. This ensures  
a robust protection solution against real faults which is also immune to transients, thereby ensuring maximum  
system uptime.  
The device has integrated reverse current blocking FET (BFET) which operates like an ideal diode. The BFET  
is linearly regulated to maintain a small constant forward drop (VFWD) in forward conduction mode and turned off  
completely to block reverse current if output voltage exceeds the input voltage.  
The device also has a built-in thermal sensor based shutdown mechanism to protect itself in case the device  
temperature (TJ) exceeds the recommended operating conditions.

8.3 Feature Description  
The TPS2521xx eFuse is a compact, feature rich power management device that provides detection, protection  
and indication in the event of system faults.  
8.3.1 Input Reverse Polarity Protection  
The TPS2521xx device is internally protected against steady state negative voltages applied at the input supply  
pin. The device blocks the negative voltage from appearing at the output, thereby protecting the load circuits.  
There’s no reverse current flowing from output to the input in this condition. The lowest negative voltage the  
device can handle at the input is limited to -15 V or VOUT – 21 V, whichever is higher. It’s also recommended  
that all signal pins (e.g. EN/UVLO, PGTH) which are connected to input supply should have a sufficiently large  
pull-up resistor to limit the current flowing out of these pins during reverse polarity conditions.  
8.3.2 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO & UVP)  
The TPS2521x implements Undervoltage Protection on IN in case the applied voltage becomes too low for the  
system or device to properly operate. The Undervoltage Protection has a default lockout threshold of VUVP which  
is fixed internally. Also, the UVLO comparator on the EN/UVLO pin allows the Undervoltage Protection threshold  
to be externally adjusted to a user defined value. The Figure 8-1 and Equation 1 show how a resistor divider can  
be used to set the UVLO set point for a given voltage supply.

8.3.3 Overvoltage Clamp (OVC)  
The TPS2521xx implements a voltage clamp on the output to protect the system in the event of input  
overvoltage. When the device detects the input has exceeded the Overvoltage Clamp Threshold (VOVC), it  
quickly responds within tOVC and stops the output from rising further and then regulates the HFET linearly to  
clamp the output voltage below VCLAMP as long as an overvoltage condition is present on the input.  
If the part stays in clamping state for an extended period of time, there will be higher power dissipation inside the  
part which may eventually lead to thermal shut-down (TSD). Once the part shuts down due to TSD fault, it would  
either stay latched off (TPS2521xL variant) or restart automatically after a fixed delay (TPS2521xA variant). See  
Overtemperature Protection (OTP) for more details on device response to overtemperature.

8.3.4 Inrush Current, Overcurrent, and Short Circuit Protection  
TPS2521xx incorporates four levels of protection against overcurrent:  
1. Adjustable slew rate (dVdt) for inrush current control  
2. Adjustable threshold (ILIM) for overcurrent protection during start-up or steady-state  
3. Adjustable threshold (ISC) for fast-trip response to severe overcurrent during start-up or steady-state  
4. Fixed threshold (IFT) for fast-trip response to quickly protect against hard output short-circuits during steady-  
state  
8.3.4.1 Slew Rate (dVdt) and Inrush Current Control  
During hot-plug events or while trying to charge a large output capacitance at start-up, there can be a large  
inrush current. If the inrush current is not managed properly, it can damage the input connectors and/or cause  
the system power supply to droop leading to unexpected restarts elsewhere in the system. The inrush current  
during turn on is directly proportional to the load capacitance and rising slew rate. Equation 2 can be used to find  
the slew rate (SR) required to limit the inrush current (IINRUSH) for a given load capacitance (COUT):  
IINRUSH (mA)  
SR (V/ms) =  
C
OUT (µF)

A capacitor can be connected to the dVdt pin to control the rising slew rate and lower the inrush current during  
turn on. The required CdVdt capacitance to produce a given slew rate can be calculated using Equation 3.

The fastest output slew rate is achieved by leaving the dVdt pin open.  
Note  
For CdVdt > 10 nF, it's recommended to add a 100-Ω resistor in series with the capacitor on the dVdt  
pin.  
8.3.4.2 Active Current Limiting  
The TPS2521xx responds to output overcurrent conditions by actively limiting the current after a user adjustable  
transient fault blanking interval. When the load current exceeds the set overcurrent threshold (ILIM) set by the  
ILM pin resistor (RILM), but stays lower than the short-circuit threshold (2 x ILIM), the device starts discharging the  
ITIMER pin capacitor using an internal 1.8-μA pull-down current. If the load current drops below the overcurrent  
threshold before the ITIMER capacitor (CITIMER) discharges by ΔVITIMER, the ITIMER is reset by pulling it up to  
VINT internally and the current limit action is not engaged. This allows short load transient pulses to pass through  
the device without getting current limited. If the overcurrent condition persists, the CITIMER continues to discharge  
and once it discharges by ΔVITIMER, the current limit starts regulating the HFET to actively limit the current to  
the set overcurrent threshold (ILIM). At the same time, the CITIMER is charged up to VINT again so that it is at its  
default state before the next overcurrent event. This ensures the full blanking timer interval is provided for every  
overcurrent event. Equation 4 can be used to calculate the RILM value for a desired overcurrent threshold.

Note  
1. Leaving the ILM pin Open sets the current limit to nearly zero and results in the part entering  
current limit with the slightest amount of loading at the output.  
2. The current limit circuit employs a foldback mechanism. The current limit threshold in the foldback  
region (0 V < VOUT < VFB) is lower than the steady state current limit threshold (ILIM).  
3. Shorting the ILM pin to ground at any point during normal operation is detected as a fault and the  
part shuts down. There’s a minimum current (IFLT) which the part allows in this condition before  
the pin short condition is detected.  
The duration for which transients are allowed can be adjusted using an appropriate capacitor value from ITIMER  
pin to ground. The CITIMER value needed to set the desired transient overcurrent blanking interval can be  
calculated using Equation 5 below.

Note  
1. Leave the ITIMER pin open to allow the part to limit the current with the minimum possible delay.  
2. Shorting the ITIMER pin to ground results in minimum overcurrent response delay (similar  
to ITIMER pin open condition), but increases the device current consumption. This is not a  
recommended mode of operation.  
3. Active current limiting based on RILM is active during startup. In case the startup current exceeds  
ILIM, the device regulates the current to the set limit. However, during startup the current limit is  
engaged without waiting for the ITIMER delay.  
4. During overvoltage clamp condition, if an overcurrent event occurs, the current limit is engaged  
without waiting for the ITIMER delay.  
5. Increasing the CITIMER value extends the overcurrent blanking interval, but it also extends the  
time needed for the CITIMER to recharge up to VINT. If the next overcurrent event occurs before  
the CITIMER is recharged fully, it will take lesser time to discharge to the ITIMER expiry threshold,  
thereby providing a shorter blanking interval than intended.  
During active current limit, the output voltage will drop resulting in increased device power dissipation across the  
HFET. If the device internal temperature (TJ) exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold (TSD), the HFET is turned  
off. Once the part shuts down due to TSD fault, it would either stay latched off (TPS252x1L variant) or restart  
automatically after a fixed delay (TPS2521xA variant). See Overtemperature Protection (OTP) for more details  
on device response to overtemperature.  
8.3.4.3 Short-Circuit Protection  
During an output short-circuit event, the current through the device increases very rapidly. When a severe  
overcurrent condition is detected, the device triggers a fast-trip response to limit the current to a safe level.

The internal fast-trip comparator employs a scalable threshold (ISC) which is equal to 2 × ILIM. This enables the  
user to adjust the fast-trip threshold rather than using a fixed threshold which can be too high for some low  
current systems. The device also employs a fixed fast-trip threshold (IFT) to protect fast protection against hard  
short-circuits during steady state. The fixed fast-trip threshold is higher than the maximum recommended user  
adjustable scalable fast-trip threshold. Once the current exceeds ISC or IFT, the HFET is turned off completely  
within tFT. Thereafter, the devices tries to turn the HFET back ON after a short de-glitch interval (30 μs) in a  
current limited manner instead of a dVdt limited manner. This ensures that the HFET has a faster recovery after  
a transient overcurrent event and minimizes the output voltage droop. However, if the fault is persistent, the  
device will stay in current limit causing the junction temperature to rise and eventually enter thermal shutdown.  
See Overtemperature Protection (OTP) section for details on the device response to overtemperature.

Note  
The ILM pin is sensitive to capacitive loading. Careful design and layout is needed to ensure the  
parasitic capacitive loading on the ILM pin is < 50 pF for stable operation.  
8.3.6 Reverse Current Protection  
The device functions like an ideal diode and blocks reverse current flow from OUT to IN under all conditions.  
The device has integrated back-to-back MOSFETs connected in a common drain configuration. The voltage  
drop between the IN and OUT pins is constantly monitored and the gate drive of the blocking FET (BFET) is  
adjusted as needed to regulate the forward voltage drop at VFWD. This closed loop regulation scheme (linear  
ORing control) enables graceful turn off of the MOSFET during a reverse current event and ensures there's no  
DC reverse current flow.  
The device also uses a conventional comparator (VREVTH) based reverse blocking mechanism to provide fast  
response (tRCB) to transient reverse currents.Once the device enters reverse current blocking condition, it waits  
for the (VIN - VOUT) forward drop to exceed the VFWDTH before it performs a fast recovery to reach full forward  
conduction state. This provides sufficient hysterisis to prevent supply noise or ripple from affecting the reverse  
current blocking response. The recovery from reverse current blocking is very fast (tSWRCB). This ensures  
minimum supply droop which is helpful in applications such as supply MUXing/ORing and USB Fast Role Swap  
(FRS).

Figure 8-7. Reverse Current Blocking Performance During Fast Voltage Step at Output

Figure 8-8. Reverse Current Blocking Performance During Slow Voltage Ramp at Output  
When the input supply droops or gets disconnected while the output storage element (capacitor bank or super  
capacitor) is charged to the full voltage, the linear ORing scheme minimizes the self-discharge from OUT to IN.  
This ensures maximum hold-up time for the output storage element in critical power back-up applications.  
It also prevents incorrect supply presence indication in applications which sense the input voltage to detect if the  
supply is connected.

8.3.7 Overtemperature Protection (OTP)  
The device monitors the internal die temperature (TJ) at all times and shuts down the part as soon as the  
temperature exceeds a safe operating level (TSD) thereby protecting the device from damage. The device will  
not turn back on until the junction cools down sufficiently, that is the die temperature falls below (TSD - TSDHYS).  
When the TPS2521xL (latch-off variant) detects thermal overload, it will be shut down and remain latched-off  
until the device is power cycled or re-enabled. When the TPS2521xA (auto-retry variant) detects thermal  
overload, it will remain off until it has cooled down by TSDHYS. Thereafter, it will remain off for an additional  
delay of tRST after which it will automatically retry to turn on if it is still enabled.

Faults which are latched internally can be cleared either by power cycling the part (pulling VIN to 0 V) or by  
pulling the EN/UVLO pin voltage below VSD. This also resets the tRST timer for the TPS2521xA (auto-retry)  
variants.  
During a latched fault, pulling the EN/UVLO just below the UVLO threshold has no impact on the device. This is  
true for both TPS2521xL (latch-off) & TPS2521xA (auto-retry) variants.  
For TPS2521xA (auto-retry) variant, on expiry of the tRSTtimer after a fault, the device restarts automatically.  
8.3.9 Power Good Indication (PG)  
The TPS2521xx provides an active high digital output (PG) which serves as a power good indication signal and  
is asserted high depending on the voltage at the PGTH pin along with the device state information. The PG is an  
open-drain pin and needs to be pulled up to an external supply.  
After power up, PG is pulled low initially. The device initiates a inrush sequence in which the HFET is turned  
on in a controlled manner. When the HFET gate voltage reaches the full overdrive indicating that the inrush  
sequence is complete and the voltage at PGTH is above VPGTH(R), the PG is asserted after a de-glitch time  
(tPGA).  
PG is de-asserted if at any time during normal operation, the voltage at PGTH falls below VPGTH(F), or the device  
detects a fault (except overcurrent). The PG de-assertion de-glitch time is tPGD  
.

When there is no supply to the device, the PG pin is expected to stay low. However, there is no active pull-down  
in this condition to drive this pin all the way down to 0 V. If the PG pin is pulled up to an independent supply  
which is present even if the device is unpowered, there can be a small voltage seen on this pin depending on the  
pin sink current, which is a function of the pull-up supply voltage and resistor. Minimize the sink current to keep  
this pin voltage low enough not to be detected as a logic HIGH by associated external circuits in this condition.

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, as well as validating and testing their design  
implementation to confirm system functionality.  
9.1 Application Information  
The TPS2521xx is a 2.7 V to 5.7 V, 4-A eFuse that is typically used for power rail protection applications. It  
can withstand maximum input voltage of 28 V with adjustable undervoltage lockout and fast overvoltage clamp  
protection. It provides ability to control inrush current and protection against input reverse polarity as well as  
reverse current conditions. It can be used in a variety of systems such as Adapter Input Protection, Storage  
– eSSD/cSSD, e-Meters, Smart Speakers, Headphones, USB power accessories. The design procedure  
explained in the subsequent sections can be used to select the supporting component values based on the  
application requirement. Additionally, a spreadsheet design tool TPS2521x Design Calculator is available in the

Either VIN or VOUT can be used to drive the PGTH resistor divider depending on which supply needs to be  
monitored for power good indication.  
9.3 Typical Application  
End equipments like PC, Notebooks, Docking Stations, Monitors etc.. have USB PD ports which can be  
configured as DFP (Source), UFP (Sink) or DRP (Source+Sink). TPS2521xx can be used independently or  
in conjunction with LM73100 to handle the power path protection requirements of USB PD ports as shown in  
Figure 9-2 below.  
TPS2521xx provides Overcurrent & Short-Circuit protection in the source path, while blocking any reverse  
current from the port to the internal source power rail. The fast recovery (tSWRCB) from reverse current blocking  
ensures minimum supply droop during Fast Role Swap (FRS) events.  
The LM73100 provides overvoltage protection on the sink path, while blocking reverse current from internal sink  
rail to the port.  
The linear ORing mechanism in TPS2521xx & LM73100 ensures that there's no reverse current flowing from  
one power source to the other during fast or slow ramp of either supply.

9.3.3.1 Device Selection  
Since the application requires current limit response to overcurrent with latch-off response after a fault, the  
TPS25210L variant is selected after refering to the Device Comparison Table.  
9.3.3.2 Setting Undervoltage and Overvoltage Thresholds

VUVLO(R) is the UVLO rising threshold. Because R1 & R2 leak the current from input supply VIN, these resistors  
must be selected based on the acceptable leakage current from input power supply VIN. The current drawn by  
R1 and R2 from the power supply is IR12 = VIN / (R1 + R2 ). However, leakage currents due to external active

components connected to the resistor string can add error to these calculations. So, the resistor string current,  
IR12 must be chosen to be 20 times greater than the leakage current expected on the EN/UVLO pin.  
From the device electrical specifications, the EN/UVLO leakage current is 0.1 μA (max), and VUVLO(R) = 1.2 V.  
From design requirements,VIN(UV) = 4 V. To solve the equation, first choose the value of R1 = 470 kΩ and use  
the above equation to solve for R2 = 201.4 kΩ.  
Using the closest standard 1% resistor values, we get R1 = 470 kΩ and R2 = 205 kΩ.  
Refer to Table 8-5 to set overvoltage clamp. OVCSEL pin is left open to select overvoltage clamp as 5.7 V.  
9.3.3.3 Setting Output Voltage Rise Time (tR)  
The slew rate (SR) needed to meet the target specification is:  
SR (V/ms) = 2 V/ms

VPG =  
(12)  
Because R3 and R4 leak the current from the output rail VOUT, these resistors must be selected to minimize the  
leakage current. The current drawn by R3and R4 from the power supply is IR34 = VOUT / (R3+ R4). However,  
leakage currents due to external active components connected to the resistor string can add error to these  
calculations. So, the resistor string current, IR34 must be chosen to be 20 times greater than the PGTH leakage  
current expected.  
From the device electrical specifications, PGTH leakage current is 1 μA (max), VPGTH(R) = 1.2 V and from design  
requirements, VPG = 4.5 V. To solve the equation, first choose the value of R3 = 100 kΩ and calculate R4 = 36.4  
kΩ. Choose nearest 1% standard resistor value as R4 = 36.5 kΩ.

10 Power Supply Recommendations  
The TPS2521xx devices are designed for a supply voltage range of 2.7 V ≤ VIN ≤ 5.7 V. An input ceramic  
bypass capacitor higher than 0.1 μF is recommended if the input supply is located more than a few inches from  
the device. The power supply must be rated higher than the set current limit to avoid voltage droops during  
overcurrent and short-circuit conditions.  
The lowest negative voltage the device can handle at the input is limited to -15 V or VOUT – 21 V, whichever is  
higher. Any low voltage signals (e.g. EN/UVLO, PGTH) derived from the input supply must have a sufficiently  
large pull-up resistor to limit the current through those pins to < 10 μA during reverse polarity conditions. Please  
refer to Absolute Maximum Ratings table for more details.  
10.1 Transient Protection  
In the case of a short-circuit and overload current limit when the device interrupts current flow, the input  
inductance generates a positive voltage spike on the input, and the output inductance generates a negative  
voltage spike on the output. The peak amplitude of voltage spikes (transients) is dependent on the value of  
inductance in series to the input or output of the device. Such transients can exceed the absolute maximum  
ratings of the device if steps are not taken to address the issue. Typical methods for addressing transients  
include:  
• Minimize lead length and inductance into and out of the device.  
• Use a large PCB GND plane.  
• Use a Schottky diode across the output to absorb negative spikes.  
• Connect a low ESR capacitor of value greater than 1 μF at the OUT pin very close to the device.  
• Use a low-value ceramic capacitor CIN = 1 μF to absorb the energy and dampen the transients. The capacitor  
voltage rating should be atleast twice the input supply voltage to be able to withstand the positive voltage  
excursion during inductive ringing.  
The approximate value of input capacitance can be estimated with Equation 15:  
LIN  
VSPIKE(Absolute) = VIN + ILOAD x  
CIN  
(15)  
where  
• VIN is the nominal supply voltage.  
• ILOAD is the load current.  
• LIN equals the effective inductance seen looking into the source.  
• CIN is the capacitance present at the input.  
Some applications may require the addition of a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) to prevent transients from  
exceeding the absolute maximum ratings of the device. In some cases, even if the maximum amplitude of the  
transients is below the absolute maximum rating of the device, a TVS can help to absorb the excessive energy  
dump and prevent it from creating very fast transient voltages on the input supply pin of the IC, which can couple  
to the internal control circuits and cause unexpected behavior.  
Note  
If there's a likelihood of input reverse polarity in the system, it's recommended to use a bi-directional  
TVS, or a reverse blocking diode in series with the TVS.  
For applications such as USB-C ports where a powered cable can be plugged to the output of the device, there  
could be excess voltage stress from OUT to IN which exceeds the absolute maximum rating of the device. It's  
recommended to add a TVS diode from OUT to IN to clamp the voltage to a safe level.

10.2 Output Short-Circuit Measurements  
It is difficult to obtain repeatable and similar short-circuit testing results. The following contribute to variation in  
results:  
• Source bypassing  
• Input leads  
• Circuit layout  
• Component selection  
• Output shorting method  
• Relative location of the short  
• Instrumentation  
The actual short exhibits a certain degree of randomness because it microscopically bounces and arcs. Ensure  
that configuration and methods are used to obtain realistic results. Do not expect to see waveforms exactly like  
those in this data sheet because every setup is different.

11 Layout  
11.1 Layout Guidelines  
For all applications, a ceramic decoupling capacitor of 0.1 μF or greater is recommended between the IN  
terminal and GND terminal.  
The optimal placement of the decoupling capacitor is closest to the IN and GND terminals of the device. Care  
must be taken to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass-capacitor connection, the IN terminal, and the  
GND terminal of the IC.  
High current-carrying power-path connections must be as short as possible and must be sized to carry at  
least twice the full-load current.  
The GND terminal must be tied to the PCB ground plane at the terminal of the IC with the shortest possible  
trace. The PCB ground must be a copper plane or island on the board. It's recommended to have a separate  
ground plane island for the eFuse. This plane doesn't carry any high currents and serves as a quiet ground  
reference for all the critical analog signals of the eFuse. The device ground plane should be connected to the  
system power ground plane using a star connection.  
The IN and OUT pins are used for heat dissipation. Connect to as much copper area on top and bottom PCB  
layers using as possible. Adding thermal vias on the under the device further helps to minimize the voltage  
gradient accross the IN and OUT pads and distribute current unformly through the device, which improves  
the on-resistance and current sense accuracy.  
Locate the following support components close to their connection pins:  
– RILM  
– CdVdT  
– CITIMER  
– Resistors for the EN/UVLO, OVCSEL and PGTH pins  
Connect the other end of the component to the GND pin of the device with shortest trace length. The trace  
routing for the RILM, CITIMER and CdVdt components to the device must be as short as possible to reduce  
parasitic effects on the current limit , overcurrent blanking interval and soft start timing. It's recommended to  
keep parasitic capacitance on ILM pin below 50 pF to ensure stable operation. These traces must not have  
any coupling to switching signals on the board.  
Since the bias current on ILM pin directly controls the overcurrent protection behavior of the device, the PCB  
routing of this node must be kept away from any noisy (switching) signals.  
Protection devices such as TVS, snubbers, capacitors, or diodes must be placed physically close to the  
device they are intended to protect. These protection devices must be routed with short traces to reduce  
inductance. For example, a protection Schottky diode is recommended to address negative transients due to  
switching of inductive loads. It's also recommended to add a ceramic decoupling capacitor of 1 μF or greater  
between OUT and GND. These components must be physically close to the OUT pins. Care must be taken to  
minimize the loop area formed by the Schottky diode/bypass-capacitor connection, the OUT pin and the GND  
terminal of the IC.
