TC1303B Datasheet, PDF (20/30 Pages) Microchip Technology – 500 mA Synchronous Buck Regulator, + 300 mA LDO with Power-Good Output

TC1303B
As an example, for a 3.6V input, 1.8V output with a load
of 400 mA, the efficiency taken from Figure 2-7 is
approximately 84%. The internal power dissipation is
approximately 171 mW.
5.6.2
LDO OUTPUT (V_OUT2)
The internal power dissipation within the TC1303B
LDO is a function of input voltage, output voltage and
output current. The following equation can be used to
calculate the internal power dissipation for the LDO.
EQUATION 5-7:
P_LDO = (V_{IN(MAX ))} – V_OUT2(MIN)) × I_{OUT2(MAX ))}
Where:
P_LDO
= LDO Pass device internal
power dissipation
V_IN(MAX) = Maximum input voltage
V_OUT(MIN) = LDO minimum output voltage
The maximum power dissipation capability for a
package can be calculated given the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance and the maximum ambient
temperature for the application. The following equation
can be used to determine the package’s maximum
internal power dissipation.

LDO POWER DISSIPATION
EXAMPLE
Input Voltage
V_IN = 5V±10%
LDO Output Voltage and Current
V_OUT = 3.3V
I_OUT = 300 mA
Internal Power Dissipation
P_LDO(MAX) = (V_IN(MAX) – V_OUT(MIN)) x I_OUT(MAX)
P_LDO = (5.5V) – (0.975 x 3.3V))
x 300 mA
P_LDO = 684.8 mW
5.7 PCB Layout Information
Some basic design guidelines should be used when
physically placing the TC1303B on a Printed Circuit
Board (PCB). The TC1303B has two ground pins, iden-
tified as A_GND (analog ground) and P_GND (power
ground). By separating grounds, it is possible to
minimize the switching frequency noise on the LDO
output. The first priority, while placing external compo-
nents on the board, is the input capacitor (C_IN1). Wiring
should be short and wide; the input current for the
TC1303B can be as high as 800 mA. The next priority
would be the buck regulator output capacitor (C_OUT1)
and inductor (L₁). All three of these components are
DS21949A-page 20
placed near their respective pins to minimize trace
length. The C_IN1 and C_OUT1 capacitor returns are con-
nected closely together at the P_GND plane. The LDO
optional input capacitor (C_IN2) and LDO output capaci-
tor C_OUT2 are returned to the A_GND plane. The analog
ground plane and power ground plane are connected
at one point (shown near L₁). All other signals (SHDN1,
SHDN2, feedback in the adjustable output case)
should be referenced to A_GND and have the A_GND
plane underneath them.

There will be some difference in layout for the 10-pin
DFN package due to the thermal pad. A typical fixed-
output DFN layout is shown below. For the DFN layout,
the V_IN1 to V_IN2 connection is routed on the bottom of
the board around the TC1303B thermal pad.
