important disclaimers and information.

1 System Description
This reference design provides isolated positive and negative voltage rails required for Insulated Gate
Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) gate drivers from a single 24-volt DC input supply. IGBTs are used in three-
phase inverters for variable-frequency drives to control the speed of AC motors. This reference design
uses a push-pull isolated-control topology and provides isolation compliant to IEC61800-5. This reference
design is intended to operate from a pre-regulated 24-V DC input. With a regulated (within 5%) input
source, a simple open-loop, free-running oscillator can be implemented with a push-pull PWM controller.
The topology is essentially a forward converter with two primary windings used to create a dual-drive
winding. This topology fully utilizes the transformer core's magnetizing current more efficiently than flyback
or forward topologies. Another advantage this configuration has over flyback and forward configurations is
that the supply output can be scaled up for higher power drives.
This reference design also takes advantage of another benefit of the push-pull topology in that multiple
transformers can be controlled in parallel from a single controller to generate all the isolated voltage rails
required for 3-phase IGBT inverters. Finally, larger IGBTs for higher power drives sometimes require more
gate drive current than what is provided by a typical IGBT gate driver. For larger IGBTs, designers often
use additional transistors for gate current boosting. This reference design provides 16 V on the positive
outputs and –8 V on the negative outputs to compensate for the added voltage drop in these additional
transistors.
Three-phase inverters are used for variable-frequency drives that control the speed of AC motors, and for
high-power applications like high-voltage DC (HVDC) power transmission. A typical application of a three-
phase inverter using six isolated gate drivers is shown in Figure 1. Note that each phase uses a high-side
and a low-side IGBT switch to apply positive and negative high-voltage DC pulses to the motor coils in an
alternating mode.
High-Power IGBTs require isolated gate drivers to control their operations. A single, isolated gate driver
drives each IGBT that galvanically isolates the high-voltage output from the low-voltage controlled inputs.
The emitter of the top IGBT floats, which requires use of an isolated gate-driver. In order to isolate the
high-voltage circuit with a low-voltage control circuit, isolated gate-drivers are used to control the bottom
IGBTs.

1.1 Gate-Drive Supply Requirements


To reduce conduction losses, the gates of the IGBTs are supplied with a much higher voltage than the
actual gate-threshold voltages. Typically, 15 V to 18 V is applied at the gate to reduce VCE(on).
The IGBT is a minority-carrier device with high input impedance and the capacity to carry a large, bipolar
current. The switching characteristics of an IGBT are similar to that of a power MOSFET. Assuming
identical conditions, IGBTs and MOSFETs behave identically when turned on, and both have similar
current rise and voltage fall times. However, the waveforms of the switched current are different at turn-off.
At the end of the switching event, the IGBT has a “tail current”, which does not exist for the MOSFET. This
tail is caused by minority carriers trapped in the “base” of the bipolar output section of the IGBT, which
causes the device to remain turned on. Unlike a bipolar transistor, it is not possible to extract these
carriers to speed up switching, since there is no external connection to the base. Therefore, the device
remains turned on until the carriers recombine.
This "tail current" increases the turn-off losses and requires an increase in the dead-time between the
conduction of two devices in a half-bridge circuit. To reduce the turn-off time, it helps to have a negative
voltage (–5 V to –10 V) at the gate.
When an IGBT is turned on, some voltage spikes are generated on the gate terminal, due to the high dv/dt
and parasitic capacitance between the gate and emitter. The voltage spiked can cause a false turn-on for
the bottom IGBT. A negative voltage at the gate helps to avoid this false turn-on trigger.
Usually 16 V is applied to the gate for turn-on and –8 V is applied for turn-off.
It is important to decide on the power requirement to drive the IGBT. The calculation of gate drive power
requirement for different power ratings of variable speed drives is explained in Equation 1.
As noted earlier, an isolated gate driver is used to turn the IGBT on and off. In this process, power is
dissipated by the driver IC, IGBT gate, and by any RC circuits in the gate drive path. Refer to Figure 2.

Figure 2. IGBTs with Gate Drive Circuitry for Gate Power Calculation

The total gate power dissipation is calculated by the following equation:


Pgate = Pdriver +(Qgate × f sw ×ΔVgate)+(Cge× f sw×ΔVgate 2 )
where
• Qgate = Total gate charge
• fsw = Switching frequency
• ΔVgate = Gate driver output voltage swing (1)
Consider the following example:
• An IGBT module with 1200 V and 200 A capacity (appropriate for <100 kW drives) having Qgate = 1.65
μC.
• A switching frequency of 16 kHz, which is on the higher side for typical high power drives.
• A gate voltage, swinging from –15 V to 15 V. These values are a worst case condition, since IGBTs
are typically driven with 15 V and either –5 V or –8 V.
• Gate-to-Emitter capacitance (Cge) = 20 nF (a typical value ranges between 1 nF and 20 nF).
• Gate-driver total power consumption (Pdriver) = approximately 600 mW. This value is estimated using
the typical data sheet for an isolated IGBT gate-driver.

Using the values above:


Pgate = 0.6W +0.792W +0.288W = 1.68W (2)
With de-rating, Equation 2 comes to 2W/IGBT.
The current output of a gate driver may or may not be sufficient to drive the IGBT, so designers use
transistors for current boosting. This reference design is designed for 16 V on positive output and –8 V on
the negative output, which takes care of the approximately 1 V drop in the transistors.

2 Design Features
The primary objective of this design is to replace the discrete components used in a power supply design
with that of a PWM-controller-based, gate-drive power supply. Replacing these components leads to a
reduced bill of materials (BOM) and increased reliability and performance.

2.1 Design Requirements


The system-level requirements for this design include:
• A PWM controller and a topology that helps scale the output power, while also driving high-power
IGBTs.
• Isolated positive and negative rails should be 16 V and –8 V to power the isolated gate driver, the
gates of the IGBTs, and the power-related sense circuitry (for isolated, current-measurement circuits).
• Continuous output power of 2 W to drive each IGBT.
• Support up to 6-A peak current, with an output voltage ripple of less than 200 mV.
• Ability to shut down the power supply to support Safe Torque Off (STO) feature to comply with
standard IEC61800-5-1 and achieve other safety related compliances.

2.2 Topology Selection:


This reference design is intended to operate with a pre-regulated 24-V input. The open-loop, free-running
oscillator of the PWM controller can be used, since it is a tightly regulated (within 5%) input source. The
push-pull topology is basically a forward converter with two primary windings, which are used to create a
dual-drive winding. This push-pull topology allows for more efficient use of the transformer core than the
flyback or forward converters.
The advantage of push-pull converters over flyback and forward converters is that push-pull converters
can be scaled up to higher powers. Further, both of the MOSFETs are connected to the low-side (unlike a
half-bridge converter, which has one MOSFET connected to the high-side). The push-pull topology does
not require gate drivers for the MOSFETs. Another advantage of using push-pull topology is that multiple
transformers can be connected in parallel to generate the voltage rails required to power other IGBTs in
the inverter. To translate the above requirements to the sub-system level, the requirements of the PWM
controller, MOSFETs, transformer, and LDOs are listed as follows:
PWM Controller
• Should support push-pull topology
• Current control mode
• Shutdown feature to incorporate STO functionality (IEC61800-5-1 compliant)
• Operate from 24-V supply
• Defined dead time to avoid cross conduction
Power MOSFETs
• Should have a rated VDS ≥ 100 V to support a 24-V input supply
• Should support 1 A (min) drain current

4.1 Component Selection

4.1.1 LM5030
The LM5030 high-voltage PWM controller contains all of the features needed to implement the push-pull
topology, using current-mode control in a small 10-pin package. This device provides two alternating gate
driver outputs. The LM5030 PWM controller includes a high-voltage, start-up regulator that operates over
a wide input range of 14 V to 100 V.
Features include:
• Error amplifier
• Precision reference
• Dual mode current limit
• Slope compensation
• Soft start
• Sync capability
• Thermal shutdown
This high speed IC has a defined dead time of 135 ns and a 1 MHz-capable, single-resistor-adjustable
oscillator.

4.1.2 CSD19533
This 100 V, 7.8 mΩ, SON 5 mm x 6 mm NexFET™ power MOSFET is designed to minimize losses in
power-conversion applications. The maximum drain current capability is much higher than the 1A design
requirement.

4.1.3 TPS27082L
The TPS27082L is a high side load switch that integrates a Power PFET and a control circuit in a tiny
TSOT-23 package. The ON/OFF logic interface features hysteresis, which provides a robust logic
interface even under very noisy operating conditions. The ON/OFF interface supports direct interfacing to
low voltage GPIOs down to 1 V. The TPS27082L level shifts the ON/OFF logic signal to VIN levels without
requiring an external level shifter.

4.1.4 LP2954A
The LP2954A is a micropower voltage regulator with very low quiescent current (90 μA typical at 1 mA
load) and very low dropout voltage (typically 60 mV at light loads and 470 mV at 250 mA load current).
The adjustable LP2954A is provided in an 8-lead surface mount, small outline package. The adjustable
version also provides a resistor network which can be pin strapped to set the output to 5 V. The tight line
and load regulation (0.04% typical), as well as very low output temperature coefficient, make the LP2954A
well suited for use as a low-power voltage reference.

4.1.5 TPS7A3001
The TPS7A3001, is a negative, high-voltage (–36 V), ultralow-noise (15.1 μVRMS, 72 dB PSRR) linear
regulator capable of sourcing a maximum load of 200 mA. This linear regulator includes a CMOS logic-
level-compatible enable pin and capacitor-programmable soft-start function that allows for customized
power–management schemes.

4.2 Circuit Design

4.2.1 Input Section and Turn-On Mechanism:


In Figure 5, the input is pre-regulated 24-V (with ±5% accuracy) input applied to CONN1. Diode D1 is
used for reverse input polarity protection. An optional LC filter (L1 and C1) may also be used for filtering
out any noise in the input voltage coming from the back-panel in the field.
The LM5030 contains an internal high-voltage startup regulator. The input pin (VIN) can be connected
directly to line voltages as high as 100 V. Upon power up, the regulator is enabled and sources current
into an external capacitor connected to the VCC pin.
In this reference design, one 12-V zener diode is used to power the VCC pin. This will keep the VCC voltage
greater than 8 V, effectively shutting off the internal startup regulator and saving power, and also reducing
the controller dissipation.
The LM5030 Data Sheet, LM5030 100 V Push-Pull Current Mode PWM Controller (SNVS215),
recommends a capacitor for the VCC regulator between 0.1 μF to 50 μF. When the voltage on the VCC pin
reaches the regulation point of 7.7 V, the controller outputs are enabled. The outputs will remain enabled
unless, VCC falls below 6.1 V, the SS/SHUTDOWN pin is pulled to ground, or an over-temperature
condition occurs. MOSFET Q1 A is also provided as a possible turn-on option but is not populated on the
board.

4.2.2 Oscillator Frequency Setting


Each output switches at half the oscillator frequency in a push-pull configuration. Assuming fsw = 100 kHz:
fosc = 2 * fsw = 2*100 kHz = 200 kHz.
The LM5030 oscillator is set by a single external resistor, which is connected between the RT pin and the
return. To set a desired oscillator frequency, the RT resistor can be calculated as:
(1/f)-172 ´ 10 -9
RT =
182 ´ 10 -12
where
• f = 200 kHz
• RT = 26.5 kΩ (3)
The resistor value can also be approximated using the following graph, which is taken from the LM5030
Data Sheet, LM5030 100 V Push-Pull Current Mode PWM Controller (SNVS215).

4.2.3 Soft-Start and Compensation


The soft-start feature allows the converter to gradually reach the initial, steady-state operating point, which
reduces start-up stresses and surges. An internal, 10-uA current source and an external capacitor
generate a ramping voltage signal that limits the error amplifier output during start-up. A reasonable time
for a soft-start is 3 to 5 ms.
Using the standard formula for current in a capacitor (Equation 4):
dV
I =C×
dt (4)
Using Equation 4, and assuming I = 10 uA, t = 3 ms, and dV = 1.4 V, the result is Css = 0.022 µF.
Figure 16 (in Section 5) shows the start-up time for the LM5030.
LM5030 can be run in open-loop operation by connecting the FB pin directly to ground. For open-loop
design, the COMP pin can be connected to ground through a 1000-pF capacitor.

4.2.4 Power MOSFETs and Transformer


The power MOSFETs (CSD19533Q5A) are chosen because they have a drain-to-source voltage rating of
100 V and a drain current rating of at least 1 A. The source terminals of both MOSFETs are connected to
a current-sense resistor for peak-current limiting and then given to the LM5030. There is a provision for a
snubber circuit to be connected across the MOSFET, to avoid any ringing while switching the MOSFETs.
At the output of the transformers, two windings are provided for the two isolated outputs: VCC_T, VEE_T
(for powering the TOP IGBTs) and VCC_B, VEE_B (for powering the BOTTOM IGBTs). The transformer
is designed so that both secondaries provide 8.7 V (a 8-V output with a diode drop of 0.7 V).

While the negative output voltages (VEE_T and VEE_B) are generated directly, to generate the positive
output voltages (VCC_T and VEE_B), the design uses cascaded voltage doublers (also called Greinacher
voltage doublers). These doubler circuits generate 16 V at the VCC terminals.

Turning an IGBT on and off amounts to charging and discharging large capacitive loads, so the peak
charge current needs to be within the capability of the drive circuit. At the same time, the driver will have
to draw this peak charge current from its power supply in a short period of time, so it is important to use
proper by-pass capacitors for the power supply.
To achieve the minimum output ripple with high-current load transients, we use a 47-µF capacitor (with
one more 47-µF capacitor in parallel, which is not populated) at each output.

4.2.5 Shutdown Operation of PWM Controller


This design provides the option to shut down the power supply to support a Safe Torque Off (STO)
feature. The STO function is the most common and basic drive-integrated safety function. The STO
features ensures that no torque-generating energy can continue to act upon a motor and prevents
unintentional starting.
The SS-pin of the LM5030 can be used to disable the controller. If the SS-pin voltage is pulled down
below 0.45 V (nominal), the controller will disable the outputs and enter a low-power state. The
TPS27092L is a switch that integrates a power PFET and a control circuit. The on/off logic interface of this
device features hysteresis, which provides a robust logic interface even under very noisy operating
conditions. The on/off interface supports direct interfacing to low-voltage GPIOs down to 1 V because it
level shifts the on/off logic signal to VIN levels without requiring an external level shifter.

4.2.6 Positive and Negative Output Regulators

4.2.6.1 Positive Regulator (LP2954A)


From the voltage doubler, the LP2954A is used as a post-regulator. The regulator can be programmed for
any voltage between the 1.23 V reference and the 30 V maximum rating by using an external pair of
resistors.
The complete equation for the output voltage is:
R1
VOUT = VREF ´ ( 1+ R2 )+(I FB ´ R1)
where
• VREF = 1.23 V reference
• IFB = Feedback pin bias current (–20 nA typ.) (5)
The regulator can also be pin-strapped for 5-V operation, using the regulator's internal resistive divider by
tying the OUT and SNS pins together, and then also tying the FB and 5-V TAP pins together. There is an
option in the design to generate a 5-V output by populating the 0Ω-resistors (R21 and R22 in Figure 9).
This 5-V output voltage is also provided at the output connector (VLDO_T and VLDO_B) for each phase.

Figure 9. Positive Regulator (Set at 5 V)

As of now, the output of each LP2954A regulator is set to 5 V and the presence of VCC as well as the
VLDO outputs is indicated, using the respective green LEDs. For 16 to 5 V conversion, it is important to
calculate the power dissipation and check whether the LP2954A resistor is suitable for the conversion.
Equation 6 shows the power calculations for the LP2954A resistor:
PD(max) = (Vin - Vout )* I out = 12.4V * 25 mA = 310 mW
where
• Vin = 17.4 V (worst case)
• Vout = 5 V
• Iout = 25 mA (max)
• and assuming TA = 60ºC (6)
Referring to the LP2954A Data Sheet, LP2954/LP2954A 5 V and Adjustable Micropower Low-Dropout
Voltage Regulators (SNVS096), Tj(max) = 125ºC, and a derating of 10ºC gives Tj(max) = 115ºC

Referring to the LP2954A Data Sheet, LP2954/LP2954A 5 V and Adjustable Micropower Low-Dropout
Voltage Regulators, page 2, (SNVS096), it is clear that LP2954A can handle the power for this condition,
as the LP2954A Data Sheet lists θJA = 160°C/W.

4.2.6.2 Negative Regulator (TPS7A3001)


The output coming from the transformer after diode rectification is given to the TPS7A3001, the negative
regulator. The TPS7A3001 has an output voltage range of –1.174 V to –33 V. The nominal output voltage
of the regulator is set by two external resistors. To ensure stability under no-load conditions, this resistive
network must provide a current equal to or greater than 5 μA.
R1 and R2 can be calculated for any output voltage, using Equation 8:
VOUT
R1 = R2( -1)
VREF
where

• R1 R2
• VREF = –1.179 V reference (8)
Using Equation 8, and considering R2 = 102 kΩ to get the output voltage of –5 V, R1 is calculated as

Figure 10. Negative Regulator (Set at –5 V)

As of now, the output of each TPS7A3001 resistor is set to -5 V and the presence of the VEE output is
indicated by a green LED. If it is not necessary to use the negative regulator, and the output of the
transformer is directly required, there is an option to bypass the regulator by using a jumper (J1 in
Figure 10).
For –8.7 V to –5 V conversion, it is important to calculate the power dissipation and to check whether
TPS7A3001 is able to do the conversion.
Equation 9 shows the power calculations for TPS7A3001:
PD(max) = (Vin – Vout) × Iout = 3.7 V × 25 mA = 92.5 mW
where
• Vin = –8.7 V
• Vout = –5 V
• Iout = –25 mA (max)
• and assuming TA = 60°C (9)
Referring to the TPS7A3001 Data Sheet, TPS7A3001 –36 V, –200 mA, Ultralow-Noise, Negative Linear
Regulator,(SBVS125), Tj(max) = 125°C, and a derating of 10°C results in Tj(max) = 115°C.
θJA ≤ [ (Tj(max) – TA) / PD(max) ]
≤ [ (115 – 60) / 0.0925]

Referring to the TPS7A3001 Data Sheet, TPS7A3001 –36 V, –200 mA, Ultralow-Noise, Negative Linear
Regulator, (SBVS125), it is clear that the resistor can handle the required power for this condition, as the
TPS7A3001 Data Sheet shows θJA = 55.09°C/W.

4.2.8 Scalability Option for Higher-Power Industrial Drives:


This design is intended to be used with IGBT modules with ratings of 1200 V/200 A. If higher power IGBT
modules are to be powered, the same reference design can be scaled up to for higher power by changing
the transformer design. The existing transformers have secondary, output current ratings of 250 mA each.
This rating can be increased to meet the requirement for higher-power Industrial drives.

TPS27082L is used as a switch to facilitate the STO feature for the industrial drives. The LM5030 SS-pin
has dual functions. The LM5030-SS pin is used for soft-start operation and also for shutdown during STO.
The soft-start operation and shutdown has been tested, and the waveform in Figure 18 shows the
shutdown signal along with the outputs going to zero.

Figure 18. Shutting Down the LM5030 Using an External Signal

LM5030 is a current mode-control device. It contains two levels of overcurrent protection. Therefore, if the
voltage on the current-sense comparator exceeds 0.5 V, the present cycle is terminated (cycle-by-cycle
current limit). If the voltage on the current sense comparator exceeds 0.625 V, the controller will terminate
the present cycle and discharge the soft-start capacitor.
The LM5030 CS and PWM comparators are fast, so they will respond to short-duration noise pulses. The
second level threshold is intended to protect the power converter by initiating a low-duty, cycle hiccup
mode when any abnormally high, fast-rising currents occur. During excessive loading, the first-level
threshold will always be reached. The output characteristic of the converter will be that of current source.
However, this sustained current level can cause excessive temperatures in the power train, especially in
the output rectifiers.
If the second-level threshold is reached, the soft-start capacitor will be fully discharged. A retry will
commence following discharge detection. The second-level threshold will only be reached when a high
dV/dt is present at the current-sense pin. The signal must be fast enough to reach the second-level
threshold before the first-threshold detector turns off the driver. This can usually happen for a saturated
power inductor, or for a shorted load. Excessive filtering on the CS pin, an extremely low-value, current-
sense resistor, or an inductor that does not saturate with excessive loading may prevent the second-level
threshold from ever being reached.

captured. On the 16-V output, the peak-to-peak ripple voltage is 59 mV and on the –8 V output, the peak-
to-peak ripple voltage is 50 mV. Figure 22 and Figure 23 show the waveforms for the same.

The design is tested for and has successfully passed a 7 kV impulse test (for 1.2/50 us pulse). It has also
passed a type-test isolation voltage tests as per the design specifications.

5.5 Section 5: Testing with ISO5500 and IGBTs


To duplicate the actual drive testing, this reference design is tested with TI ISO5500 EVMs along with
1200 V IGBTs. Two 16-kHz, complementary PWM signals for IGBT gate driving are generated using a
Piccolo LaunchPAD™ from TI. They are fed to two ISO5500 (each connected to one 1200 V IGBT). The
IGBTs are connected in half-bridge form, as shown in Figure 30 with 1-kΩ load connected at the output.
The image of the set-up with all boards is also shown in Figure 31.

to drive the IGBTs. With 6-A peak current while charging the internal capacitance of IGBTs, the ripple on
the VCC and VEE outputs of power supply are also measured. Figure 34 and Figure 35 show the ripple

6 Layout Guidelines for LM5030


The LM5030 contains two levels of over-current protection. If the voltage on the current sense comparator
exceeds 0.5 Volts, the present cycle is terminated (cycle by cycle current limit). If the voltage on the
current sense comparator exceeds 0.625 Volts, the controller will terminate the present cycle and
discharge the soft-start capacitor.
A small RC filter, located near the controller, is recommended for the CS pin. An internal MOSFET
discharges the current sense filter capacitor at the conclusion of every cycle, to improve dynamic
performance. The LM5030 CS and PWM comparators are very fast, and therefore will respond to short
duration noise pulses. Layout considerations are critical for the current sense filter and sense resistor. The
capacitor associated with the CS filter must be placed very close to the device and connected directly to
the pins of the IC (CS and RTN).
If a current sense resistor located in the drive transistor sources is used, for current sense, a low
inductance resistor should be chosen. In this case, all of the noise sensitive low power grounds should be
commoned together around the IC. Then a single connection should be made to the power ground
(sense-resistor ground point). The RT resistor should also be located very close to the device and
connected directly to the pins of the IC (RT and GND).

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR TI REFERENCE DESIGNS

Texas Instruments Incorporated (‘TI”) reference designs are solely intended to assist designers (“Designer(s)”) who are developing systems
that incorporate TI products. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically described in the published documentation for a
particular reference design.
TI’s provision of reference designs and any other technical, applications or design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other
information or services does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI products, and
no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such reference designs or other items.
TI reserves the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its reference designs and other items.
Designer understands and agrees that Designer remains responsible for using its independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in
designing Designer’s systems and products, and has full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of its products and compliance of
its products (and of all TI products used in or for such Designer’s products) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable
requirements. Designer represents that, with respect to its applications, it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement
safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the
likelihood of failures that might cause harm and take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any systems
that include TI products, Designer will thoroughly test such systems and the functionality of such TI products as used in such systems.
Designer may not use any TI products in life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special
contract specifically governing such use. Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause
serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such
equipment includes, without limitation, all medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and
equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
Designers are authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI reference design only in connection with the development of end
products that include the TI product(s) identified in that reference design. HOWEVER, NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY
ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right,
copyright, mask work right, or other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products 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 the reference design or other items described above 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.
TI REFERENCE DESIGNS AND OTHER ITEMS DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE REFERENCE DESIGNS OR USE OF
THE REFERENCE DESIGNS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE
WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-
INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNERS AGAINST ANY CLAIM, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF PRODUCTS AS
DESCRIBED IN A TI REFERENCE DESIGN OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL, DIRECT,
SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH
OR ARISING OUT OF THE REFERENCE DESIGNS OR USE OF THE REFERENCE DESIGNS, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TI’s standard terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and services.
