VCC

The VCC pin is the output of the internal LDO, used to supply the control circuits of the LM53603. This output

requires a 3.3-µF to 4.7-µF, ceramic capacitor connected from VCC to GND for proper operation. An X7R device

with a rating of 10 V is highly recommended. In general this output should not be loaded with any external

circuitry. However, it can be used to supply a logic level to the FPWM input, or for the pullup resistor used with

the RESET output (see Figure 16). The nominal output of the LDO is 3.15 V.

9.2.1.2.6

BIAS

The BIAS pin is the input to the internal LDO. As mentioned in Input Supply Current, this input is connected to

output, it should be protected from negative voltage transients. Such transients may occur when the output is

shorted at the end of a long PCB trace or cable. If this is likely, in a given application, then a small resistor

sized to limit the current out of the BIAS pin to <100 mA. Values in the range of 2 Ω to 5 Ω are usually sufficient.

Values greater than 5 Ω are not recommended. As a rough estimate, assume that the full negative transient

parallel with the output to limit the transient voltage and current.

9.2.1.2.7

CBOOT

The LM53603 requires a boot-strap capacitor between the CBOOT pin and the SW pin. This capacitor stores

energy that is used to supply the gate drivers for the power MOSFETs. A ceramic capacitor of 0.47 µF,

≥ 6.3 V is

required. A 10-V rated capacitor or higher is highly recommended.

9.2.1.2.8

Maximum Ambient Temperature

As with any power conversion device, the LM53603 dissipates internal power while operating. The effect of this

power dissipation is to raise the internal temperature of the converter, above ambient. The internal die

establishing a limit on the maximum device power dissipation and therefore load current at high ambient

temperatures. Equation 5 shows the relationships between the important parameters.

output current. As stated in Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics, the values given in the Thermal

Information table are not valid for design purposes and must not be used to estimate the thermal performance of

the application. The values reported in that table were measured under a specific set of conditions that are never

power dissipation, air temperature, PCB area, copper heat sink area, number of thermal vias under the package,

air flow, and adjacent component placement. The LM53603 uses an advanced package with a heat spreading

pad (EP) on the bottom. This must be soldered directly to the PCB copper ground plane to provide an effective

heat sink, as well as a proper electrical connection. The resources in Ground and Thermal Plane Considerations
