LP295x-N Series of Adjustable Micropower Voltage Regulators
1 Features 3 Description
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N are micropower
1 Input Voltage Range: 2.3 V to 30 V voltage regulators with very low quiescent current (75
5-V, 3-V, and 3.3-V Output Voltage Versions μA typical) and very low dropout voltage (typical 40
Available mV at light loads and 380 mV at 100 mA). They are
High Accuracy Output Voltage ideally suited for use in battery-powered systems.
Furthermore, the quiescent current of the LP2950-
Ensured 100-mA Output Current N/LP2951-N increases only slightly in dropout,
Extremely Low Quiescent Current prolonging battery life.
Low Dropout Voltage Careful design of the LP2950-N/LP2951-N has
Extremely Tight Load and Line Regulation minimized all contributions to the error budget. This
Very Low Temperature Coefficient includes a tight initial tolerance (0.5% typ.), extremely
good load and line regulation (.05% typ.) and a very
Use as Regulator or Reference low output voltage temperature coefficient, making
Needs Minimum Capacitance for Stability the part useful as a low-power voltage reference.
Current and Thermal Limiting One such feature is an error flag output which warns
Stable With Low-ESR Output Capacitors (10 mof a low output voltage, often due to falling batteries
to 6 )on the input. It may be used for a power-on reset. A
LP2951-N Versions Only: second feature is the logic-compatible shutdown input
which enables the regulator to be switched on and
Error Flag Warns of Output Dropout off. Also, the part may be pin-strapped for a 5-V, 3-V,
Logic-Controlled Electronic Shutdown or 3.3-V output (depending on the version), or
Output Programmable From 1.24 V to 29 V programmed from 1.24 V to 29 V with an external
pair of resistors.
2 Applications The LP2950-N is available in the surface-mount TO-
High-Efficiency Linear Regulator 252 package and in the popular 3-pin TO-92 package
for pin-compatibility with older 5-V regulators. The 8-
Regulator with Undervoltage Shutdown lead LP2951-N is available in plastic, ceramic dual-in-
Low dropout Battery-powered Regulator line, WSON, or metal can packages and offers
Snap-ON/Snap-OFF Regulator additional system functions.

only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) The junction-to-ambient thermal resistances are as follows: 157.4°C/W for the TO-92(LP) package, 51.3°C/W for the TO-252 (NDP)
package, 56.3°C/W for the molded PDIP (P), 117.7°C/W for the molded plastic SOIC (D), 171°C/W for the molded plastic VSSOP
(DGK). The above thermal resistances for the P, D, and DGK packages apply when the package is soldered directly to the PCB. The
value of RθJA for the WSON (NGT) package is typically 43.3°C/W but is dependent on the PCB trace area, trace material, and the
number of layers and thermal vias. For details of thermal resistance and power dissipation for the WSON package, refer to Texas
Instruments Application Note AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) (SNOA401).

(9) Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value
measured at 1-V differential. At very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2 V (2.3 V
overtemperature) must be taken into account.
(10) Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load
or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 50 mA load pulse at VIN = 30 V (1.25-W pulse) for T = 10 ms.

(12) Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Feedback terminal below the nominal reference voltage
measured at Vin = (VONOM + 1)V. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier gain =
VOUT/VREF = (R1 + R2)/R2.For example, at a programmed output voltage of 5 V, the Error output is specified to go low when the output
drops by 95 mV × 5 V/1.235 V = 384 mV. Thresholds remain constant as a percent of Vout as Vout is varied, with the dropout warning
occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.5% ensured.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Fixed Voltage Options and Programmable Voltage Version
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N provide 3 fixed output options: 3V, 3.3 V, and 5 V. Please consult factory for
custom voltages. In order to meet different application requirements, LP2951-N can also be used as a
programmable voltage regulator, with an external resistors network; please refer to Application and
Implementation for more details.
8.3.2 High Accuracy Output Voltage
With special carful design to minimize all contributions to the output voltage error, the LP2950-N/LP2951-N
distinguished itself as a very high output voltage accuracy micro power LDO. This includes a tight initial tolerance
(0.5% typ.), extremely good load and line regulation (.05% typ.) and a very low output voltage temperature
coefficient, making the part an ideal a low-power voltage reference.
8.3.3 Low Dropout Voltage
Generally speaking, the dropout voltage often refers to the voltage difference between the input and output
voltage (VDO = VIN VOUT), where the main current pass-FET is fully on in the ohmic region of operation and is
characterized by the classic RDS(ON) of the FET. VDO indirectly specifies a minimum input voltage above the
nominal programmed output voltage at which the output voltage is expected to remain within its accuracy
boundary.
8.3.4 Shutdown Mode
When pull Shutdown pin to high level, LP2951-N will enter shutdown mode and a very low quiescent current is
consumed. This function is designed for the application which needs a shutdown mode to effectively enhance
battery life cycle.
8.3.5 Error Detection Comparator Output
The LP2951-N will generate a logic low output whenever its output falls out of regulation by more than
approximately 5%. Please refer to Application and Implementation for more details.
8.3.6 Internal Protection Circuitry
8.3.6.1 Short-Circuit Protection (Current Limit)
The internal current limit circuit is used to protect the LDO against high-load current faults or shorting events. The
LDO is not designed to operate in a steady-state current limit. During a current-limit event, the LDO sources
constant current. Therefore, the output voltage falls when load impedance decreases. Note also that if a current
limit occurs and the resulting output voltage is low, excessive power may be dissipated across the LDO, resulting
in a thermal shutdown of the output. A fold back feature limits the short-circuit current to protect the regulator
from damage under all load conditions. If OUT is forced below 0 V before EN goes high and the load current
required exceeds the fold back current limit, the device may not start up correctly.
8.3.6.2 Thermal Protection
The device contains a thermal shutdown protection circuit to turn off the output current when excessive heat is
dissipated in the LDO. The thermal time-constant of the semiconductor die is fairly short, and thus the output
cycles on and off at a high rate when thermal shutdown is reached until the power dissipation is reduced. The
internal protection circuitry of the device is designed to protect against thermal overload conditions. The circuitry
is not intended to replace proper heat sinking. Continuously running the device into thermal shutdown degrades
its reliability.
8.3.7 Enhanced Stability
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N is designed specifically to work with ceramic output capacitors, utilizing circuitry
which allows the regulator to be stable across the entire range of output current with an output capacitor whose
ESR is as low as 6 mΩ. For output capacitor requirement, please refer to Application and Implementation.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Operation with 30 V VIN > VOUT(TARGET)+1V
The device operate if the input voltage is equal to, or exceeds VOUT(TARGET) + 1 V. At input voltages below the
minimum VIN requirement, the devices do not operate correctly and output voltage may not reach target value.
8.4.2 Operation with Shutdown Control
If the voltage on the SHUTDOWN pin is higher than 1.3 V, the device is disabled. Decreasing shutdown below
0.7 V initiates the start-up sequence of the device.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N are linear voltage regulator operating from 2.3 V to 30 V on the input and
regulates voltages between 1.24 V to 29 V with 0.5% accuracy and 160 mA maximum outputs current. Efficiency
is defined by the ratio of output voltage to input voltage because the LP2950-N and LP2951-N is a linear voltage
regulator. To achieve high efficiency, the dropout voltage (VIN VOUT) must be as small as possible, thus
requiring a very low dropout LDO. Successfully implementing an LDO in an application depends on the
application requirements. If the requirements are simply input voltage and output voltage, compliance
specifications (such as internal power dissipation or stability) must be verified to ensure a solid design. If timing,
start-up, noise, PSRR, or any other transient specification is required, the design becomes more challenging.

9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 1 as the input parameters.
Table 1. Design Parameters
DESIGN PARAMETER DESIGN REQUIREMENT
Input voltage 6.5 V, ±10%, provided by the DC-DC converter switching at 1 MHz
Output voltage 5 V, ±1%
Output current 100 mA (maximum), 1 mA (minimum)
RMS noise, 10 Hz to 100 kHz < 200 µVrms
PSRR at 1 KHz > 50 dB
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
At 100-mA loading, the dropout of the LP2950-N/LP2951-N has 600 mV maximum dropout over temperature,
thus an 1500-mV headroom is sufficient for operation over both input and output voltage accuracy. The efficiency
of the LP2950-N/LP2951-N in this configuration is VOUT / VIN = 76.9%. To achieve the smallest form factor, the
TO-92 package is selected. Input and output capacitors are selected in accordance with the Capacitor
Recommendation section. Ceramic capacitances of 1 μF for the input and one 2.2-μF capacitors for the output
are selected. With an efficiency of 73.3% and a 100-mA maximum load, the internal power dissipation is 150
mW, which corresponds to a 18.9°C junction temperature rise for the TO-92 package. With an 85°C maximum
ambient temperature, the junction temperature is at 103.9°C. To minimize noise, a bypass capacitance (CBYPASS)
of 0.01-µF is selected between pin 7 to pin 1 for LP2951-N.
9.2.1.2.1 Output Capacitor Requirements
A 1-μF (or greater) capacitor is required between the output and ground for stability at output voltages of 5 V or
higher. At lower output voltages, more capacitance is required (2.2 μF or more is recommended for 3-V and 3.3-
V versions). Without this capacitor the part will oscillate. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic work fine
here; even film types work but are not recommended for reasons of cost. Many aluminum electrolytics have
electrolytes that freeze at about 30°C, so solid tantalums are recommended for operation below 25°C. The
important parameters of the capacitor are an ESR of about 5 Ωor less and a resonant frequency above 500 kHz.
The value of this capacitor may be increased without limit.

Figure 37. Output Capacitor ESR Range
The reason for the lower ESR limit is that the loop compensation of the feedback loop relies on the capacitance
value and the ESR value of the output capacitor to provide the zero that gives added phase lead (See
Figure 37).
fZ= (1 / (2 × π× COUT × ESR)) (1)
Using the 2.2 µF value from the Output Capacitor ESR Range curve (Figure 37), a useful range for fZcan be
estimated:
fZ(MIN)= (1 / (2 x π× 2.2 µF x 5 )) = 14.5 kHz (2)
fZ(MAX)= (1 / (2 x π× 2.2 µF x 0.05 )) = 318 kHz (3)
For ceramic capacitors, the low ESR produces a zero at a frequency that is too high to be useful, so meaningful
phase lead does not occur. A ceramic output capacitor can be used if a series resistance is added
(recommended value of resistance about 0.1 to 2 ) to simulate the needed ESR. Only X5R, X7R, or better,
MLCC types should be used, and should have a DC voltage rating at least twice the VOUT(NOM) value.
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is required for stability. The capacitor can be reduced
to 0.33 μF for currents below 10 mA or 0.1 μF for currents below 1 mA. Using the adjustable versions at voltages
below 5 V runs the error amplifier at lower gains so that more output capacitance is needed. For the worst-case
situation of a 100-mA load at 1.23 V output (output shorted to Feedback) a 3.3-μF (or greater) capacitor should
be used.
Unlike many other regulators, the LP2950-N will remain stable and in regulation with no load in addition to the
internal voltage divider. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. When setting the
output voltage of the LP2951-N versions with external resistors, a minimum load of 1 μA is recommended.
Applications having conditions that may drive the LP2950-N/51 into nonlinear operation require special
consideration. Nonlinear operation will occur when the output voltage is held low enough to force the output
stage into output current limiting while trying to pull the output voltage up to the regulated value. The internal loop
response time will control how long it takes for the device to regain linear operation when the output has returned
to the normal operating range. There are three significant nonlinear conditions that need to be considered, all can
force the output stage into output current limiting mode, all can cause the output voltage to over-shoot with low
value output capacitors when the condition is removed, and the recommended generic solution is to set the
output capacitor to a value not less than 10 μF. Although the 10 μF value for COUT may not eliminate the output
voltage over-shoot in all cases, it should lower it to acceptable levels (< 10% of VOUT(NOM)) in the majority of
cases. In all three of these conditions, applications with lighter load currents are more susceptible to output
voltage over-shoot than applications with higher load currents.

Figure 38. LP2951-N Enable Transient
9.2.1.2.2 Input Capacitor Requirements
A minimum 1 μF tantalum, ceramic or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed from the LP2950-
N/LP2951-N input pin to ground if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the AC filter
capacitor or if a battery is used as the input.
9.2.1.2.3 Error Detection Comparator Output
The comparator produces a logic low output whenever the LP2951-N output falls out of regulation by more than
approximately 5%. This figure is the comparator's built-in offset of about 60 mV divided by the 1.235 reference
voltage. (Refer to the block diagram in the front of the datasheet.) This trip level remains “5% below normal”
regardless of the programmed output voltage of the 2951. For example, the error flag trip level is typically 4.75 V
for a 5-V output or 11.4 V for a 12-V output. The out of regulation condition may be due either to low input
voltage, current limiting, or thermal limiting.
Figure 39 below gives a timing diagram depicting the ERROR signal and the regulated output voltage as the
LP2951-N input is ramped up and down. For 5 V versions, the ERROR signal becomes valid (low) at about 1.3-V
input. It goes high at about 5-V input (the input voltage at which VOUT = 4.75 V). Since the LP2951-N dropout
voltage is load-dependent (see curve in typical performance characteristics), the input voltage trip point (about 5
V) will vary with the load current. The output voltage trip point (approx. 4.75 V) does not vary with load.
The error comparator has an open-collector output which requires an external pull up resistor. This resistor may
be returned to the output or some other supply voltage depending on system requirements. In determining a
value for this resistor, note that while the output is rated to sink 400 μA, this sink current adds to battery drain in
a low battery condition. Suggested values range from 100 k to 1 MΩ. The resistor is not required if this output is
unused.
*When VIN 1.3 V, the error flag pin becomes a high impedance, and the error flag voltage rises to its pull-up voltage.
Using VOUT as the pull-up voltage (see Figure 40), rather than an external 5-V source, will keep the error flag voltage
under 1.2 V (typ.) in this condition. The user may wish to divide down the error flag voltage using equal-value
resistors (10 ksuggested), to ensure a low-level logic signal during any fault condition, while still allowing a valid
high logic level during normal operation.

9.2.1.2.4 Programming the Output Voltage (LP2951-N)
The LP2951-N may be pin-strapped for the nominal fixed output voltage using its internal voltage divider by tying
the output and sense pins together, and also tying the FEEDBACK and VTAP pins together. Alternatively, it may
be programmed for any output voltage between its 1.235-V reference and its 30-V maximum rating. As seen in
Figure 40, an external pair of resistors is required.
The complete equation for the output voltage is
where
VREF is the nominal 1.235-V reference voltage and IFB is the feedback pin bias current, nominally –20 nA (7)
The minimum recommended load current of 1 μA forces an upper limit of 1.2 MΩon the value of R2, if the
regulator must work with no load (a condition often found in CMOS in standby). IFB will produce a 2% typical
error in VOUT which may be eliminated at room temperature by trimming R1. For better accuracy, choosing R2 =
100 kreduces this error to 0.17% while increasing the resistor program current to 12 μA. Since the LP2951-N
typically draws 60 μA at no load with Pin 2 open-circuited, this is a small price to pay.
*Drive with TTL-high to shut down. Ground or leave open if shutdown feature is not to be used.
Note: Pins 2 and 6 are left open.
Figure 40. Adjustable Regulator
Stray capacitance to the LP2951-N Feedback terminal can cause instability. This may especially be a problem
when using high value external resistors to set the output voltage. Adding a 100-pF capacitor between the
Output pin and the Feedback pin, and increasing the output capacitor to at least 3.3 μF, will fix this problem.
9.2.1.2.5 Reducing Output Noise
In reference applications it may be advantageous to reduce the AC noise present at the output. One method is to
reduce the regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of the output capacitor. This is the only way noise can be
reduced on the 3-lead LP2950-N but is relatively inefficient, as increasing the capacitor from 1 μF to 220 μF only
decreases the noise from 430 μV(RMS) to 160 μV(RMS) for a 100-kHz bandwidth at 5-V output.
Noise can be reduced fourfold by a bypass capacitor across R1, since it reduces the high frequency gain from 4
to unity. Pick
(8)
or about 0.01 μF. When doing this, the output capacitor must be increased to 3.3 μF to maintain stability. These
changes reduce the output noise from 430 μV to 100 μV rms for a 100-kHz bandwidth at 5-V output. With the
bypass capacitor added, noise no longer scales with output voltage so that improvements are more dramatic at
higher output voltages.

9.2.6 Regulator with Early Warning and Auxiliary Output
The LP2951 can be used to build a Regulator with Early Warning and Auxiliary Output as Figure 48 shows. it has
below features:
Early warning flag on low input voltage
Main output latches off at lower input voltages
Battery backup on auxiliary output
Operation: VOUT of regulator 1 is programmed one diode drop above 5 V. Its error flag becomes active when
VIN 5.7 V. When VIN drops below 5.3 V, the error flag of regulator 2 becomes active and via Q1 latches the
main output off. When VIN again exceeds 5.7 V regulator 1 is back in regulation and the early warning signal
rises, unlatching regulator 2 via D3.
Figure 48. Regulator with Early Warning and Auxiliary Output
9.2.7 Latch Off When Error Flag Occurs
As Figure 49 presents, a latch off when error flag occurs circuit works in below two mode:
When output is within ±95% of VOUT option, the error flag pin keep output high, which will turn off PNP bipolar
and pull SD pin to low, then the LP2951 keeps output regulated voltage.
When output drop to less than 95% of VOUT option, it will trigger error flag output a low voltage, which will turn on
PNP bipolar and pull SD pin to high, then chip enter shutdown mode and turn off output voltage. During
shutdown sequence, error pin will continue output low and the LP2951 latched in shutdown mode.

In Figure 53, we use LP339, a quad comparator, to indicate battery voltage state. The comparator’s negative
input voltage is equal to the LP2951 1.235-V feedback voltage. By adjusting R3, we can adjust positive input
voltage of C1~C3 to target value.

9.2.12 Low Battery Disconnect
In Figure 54, a band-gap voltage reference LM385 is used to generate shutdown signal, when Vin < 5.5 V, the
LP2951 turns off and turns on again when VIN > 6 V.
For values shown, regulator shuts down when Vin < 5.5 V and turns on again at 6 V. Current drain in disconnected
mode is approximately 150 μA.
*Sets disconnect voltage.
**Sets disconnect hysteresis.

9.2.13 System Overtemperature Protection Circuit
In Figure 55, temperature sensors LM34/35's output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade)
temperature.
At room temperature, LM34/35's output voltage is lower than 1.235-V feedback voltage, the internal pass
transistor fully turns on, LP2951 output voltage is close to VIN.
When ambient temperature raise higher than protection target, LM34/35's output voltage will be higher than
1.235-V feedback voltage, the internal pass transistor turns off, the LP2951 output will go off.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N are designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.3 V and 30
V. The input voltage range provides adequate headroom in order for the device to have a regulated output. This
input supply must be well regulated. If the input supply is noisy, additional input capacitors with low ESR can help
improve the output noise performance.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For best overall performance, place all circuit components on the same side of the circuit board and as near as
practical to the respective LDO pin connections. Place ground return connections to the input and output
capacitor, and to the LDO ground pin as close to each other as possible, connected by a wide, component-side,
copper surface. The use of vias and long traces to create LDO circuit connections is strongly discouraged and
negatively affects system performance. This grounding and layout scheme minimizes inductive parasitics, and
thereby reduces load-current transients, minimizes noise, and increases circuit stability.
A ground reference plane is also recommended and is either embedded in the PCB itself or located on the
bottom side of the PCB opposite the components. This reference plane serves to assure accuracy of the output
voltage, shield noise, and behaves similar to a thermal plane to spread (or sink) heat from the LDO device. In
most applications, this ground plane is necessary to meet thermal requirements.
11.2 Layout Example

11.3 WSON Mounting
The NGT (No Pullback) 8-Lead WSON package requires specific mounting techniques which are detailed in TI
Application Note 1187, Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) (SNOA401). Referring to the PCB Design
Recommendations section, it should be noted that the pad style which should be used with the WSON package
is the NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type. Additionally, it is recommended the PCB terminal pads to be 0.2
mm longer than the package pads to create a solder fillet to improve reliability and inspection.
The thermal dissipation of the WSON package is directly related to the printed circuit board construction and the
amount of additional copper area connected to the DAP.
For the LP2951-N in the NGT 8-Lead WSON package, the junction-to-case thermal rating, RθJC, is 35°C/W,
where the case is the bottom of the package at the center of the DAP.

WSON Mounting (continued)
The DAP (exposed pad) on the bottom of the WSON package is connected to the die substrate with a conductive
die attach adhesive. The DAP has no direct electrical (wire) connection to any of the eight pins. There is a
parasitic PN junction between the die substrate and the device ground. As such, it is strongly recommend that
the DAP be connected directly to the ground at device lead 4 (that is, GND). Alternately, but not recommended,
the DAP may be left floating (that is, no electrical connection). The DAP must not be connected to any potential
other than ground.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information 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.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
