Application Information (Cont.)

FG Resistor

The value of FG resistor could be decided by the following

equation:
VCC − VFG/RD
R FG =
IFG/RD

For example:
VCC = 5V, IFG = 5mA, VFG = 0.2V, RFG = 0.96kΩ
The value of resistor in the range of 1kΩ to 10kΩ is
recommended.

Thermal Consideration

Refer to “Maximum Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temp-

erature”, the IC is safe to operate below the curve and it
will cause the thermal protection if the operating area is
above the line. For example, TA= 75°C, the VTDFN3x3-10
package maximum power dissipation is about 0.63W.
The power dissipation can be calculated by the following
equation:

( )
PD = VCC − VUO − VVO × IUO + VCC × ICC

For example:
VCC = 5V, ICC = 3mA, IOUT = 250mA, VUO = 4.85V,

VVO = 0.15V, then PD= 0.09W

The GND pin provides an electrical connection to the
ground and channeling heat away. The printed circuit
board (PCB) forms a heat sink and dissipates most of
the heat into ambient air.
