Typical Application Schematic
A minimal schematic suitable for most applications is shown on page 1. Figure 21 includes optional components that may be
considered to address specific issues as listed in the External Component Selection section.
PCB Layout
For proper operation and minimum EMI, care must be taken during PCB layout. An improper layout can lead to issues such as poor
stability and regulation, noise sensitivity and increased EMI radiation. (Figure 22) The main guidelines are the following:
• provide low inductive and resistive paths for loops with high di/dt,
• provide low capacitive paths with respect to all the other nodes for traces with high di/dt,
• sensitive nodes not assigned to power transmission should be referenced to the analog signal ground (GND) and be
always separated from the power ground (PGND).
The negative ends of CBYPASS, COUT and the Schottky diode DCATCH (optional) should be placed close to each other and
connected using a wide trace. Vias must be used to connect the PGND node to the ground plane. The PGND node must be placed
as close as possible to the TS30041/42 PGND pins to avoid additional voltage drop in traces.
The bypass capacitor CBYPASS (optionally paralleled to a 0.1µF capacitor) must be placed close to the VCC pins of TS30041/42.
The inductor must be placed close to the VSW pins and connected directly to COUT in order to minimize the area between the
VSW pin, the inductor, the COUT capacitor and the PGND pins. The trace area and length of the switching nodes VSW and BST
should be minimized.
For the adjustable output voltage version of the TS30041/42, feedback resistors RBOT and RTOP are required for Vout settings
greater than 0.9V and should be placed close to the TS30041/42 in order to keep the traces of the sensitive node FB as short as
possible and away from switching signals. RBOT should be connected to the analog ground pin (GND) directly and should never
be connected to the ground plane. The analog ground trace (GND) should be connected in only one point to the power ground
(PGND). A good connection point is under the TS30041/42 package to the exposed thermal pad and vias which are connected to
PGND. RTOP will be connected to the VOUT node using a trace that ends close to the actual load.
For fixed output voltage versions of the TS30041/42, RBOT and RTOP are not required and the FB pin should be connected directly to
the Vout.
The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to the PCB for mechanical reliability and to achieve good power dissipation. Vias must
be placed under the pad to transfer the heat to the ground plane.

External Component Selection
The 1MHz internal switching frequency of the TS30041/42 facilitates low cost LC filter combinations. Additionally, the fixed
output versions enable a minimum external component count to provide a complete regulation solution with only 4 external
components: an input bypass capacitor, an inductor, an output capacitor, and the bootstrap capacitor. The internal compensation
is optimized for a 44uF output capacitor and a 4.7uH inductor.
For best performance, a low ESR ceramic capacitor should be used for CBYPASS. If CBYPASS is not a low ESR ceramic capacitor, a
0.1uF ceramic capacitor should be added in parallel to CBYPASS.
The minimum allowable value for the output capacitor is 33uF. To keep the output ripple low, a low ESR (less than 35mOhm)
ceramic is recommended. Multiple capacitors can be paralleled to reduce the ESR.
The inductor range is 4.7uH +/-20%. For optimal over-current protection, the inductor should be able to handle up to the
regulator current limit without saturation. Otherwise, an inductor with a saturation current rating higher than the maximum IOUT
load requirement plus the inductor current ripple should be used.
For high current modes, the optional Schottky diode will improve the overall efficiency and reduce the heat. It is up to the user to
determine the cost/benefit of adding this additional component in the user’s application. The diode is typically not needed.
For the adjustable output version of the TS30041/42, the output voltage can be adjusted by sizing RTOP and RBOT feedback
resistors. The equation for the output voltage is
For the adjustable version, the ratio of VCC/Vout cannot exceed 16.
RPUP is only required when the Power Good signal (PG) is utilized.
Thermal Information
TS30041/42 is designed for a maximum operating junction temperature Tj of 125°C. The maximum output power is limited by
the power losses that can be dissipated over the thermal resistance given by the package and the PCB structures. The PCB must
provide heat sinking to keep the TS30041/42 cool. The exposed metal on the bottom of the QFN package must be soldered to a
ground plane. This ground should be tied to other copper layers below with thermal vias. Adding more copper to the top and the
bottom layers and tying this copper to the internal planes with vias can reduce thermal resistance further. For a hi-K JEDEC board
and 13.5 square inch of 1 oz Cu, the thermal resistance from junction to ambient can be reduced to θJA = 34.5°C/W. The power
dissipation of other power components (catch diode, inductor) cause additional copper heating and can further increase what the
TS30041/42 sees as ambient temperature.
