Torch and Flash Resistor ratings are dependent upon the

current through each resistor. The minimum ratings will vary

depending upon the current selected on an applicaiton by

application basis. Power Rating Minimum = (Desired Cur-

rent)

TIONS section to determine torch and flash currents.

THERMAL PROTECTION

Internal thermal protection circuitry disables the LM3551/2

when the junction temperature exceeds +140˚C (typ.). This

feature protects the device from being damaged by high die

temperatures that might otherwise result from excessive

power dissipation. The device will recover and operate nor-

mally when the junction temperature falls below +120˚C

(typ.). It is important that the board layout provide good

thermal conduction to keep the junction temperature within

the specified operating ratings.

PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS

The LLP is a leadframe based Chip Scale Package (CSP)

with very good thermal properties. This package has an

exposed DAP (die attach pad) at the center of the package

measuring 2.6mm x 3.0mm. The main advantage of this

exposed DAP is to offer lower thermal resistance when it is

soldered to the thermal land pad on the PCB. For PCB

layout, National highly recommends a 1:1 ratio between the

package and the PCB thermal land. To further enhance

thermal conductivity, the PCB thermal land may include vias

to a ground plane. For more detailed instructions on mount-

ing LLP packages, please refer to National Semiconductor

Application Note AN-1187.

Using the Dual-Mode configuration with either the LM3551/2,

a 5V, high current rail (approx. 700mA total) can be created

while still allowing for a high flash with a true load discon-

nect. R1 and R2 setup the +5V following the equation: V

= 1.265 x (1 + R1/R2) . When the LM3551/2 is on, and the

T/F pin is low (logic ’0’), the part will provide a regulated

output voltage that can be used to provide a voltage rail
