FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The LM25056A provides intelligent monitoring of the input voltage, input current, input power, temperature, and

an auxiliary input. The LM25056A also provides a peak capture of the input power and programmable hardware

averaging of the input voltage, current, power, temperature, and the auxiliary voltage. Warning thresholds which

trigger the SMBA pin may be programmed for input and auxiliary voltage, current, power, and temperature via

the PMBus interface.

Enabling/Disabling and Resetting

The LM25056A has an ENABLE pin that can be used to power on and off the device. If desired, the LM25056A

can be kept in shutdown until the supply reaches a particular threshold using ENABLE with a resistor divider or

with an active control as shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15. ENABLE Control

When taken low, this logic pin will reduce the quiescent current for the device and will no longer respond to

PMBus commands. Also, taking the ENABLE low is a functional reset of the LM25056A. Raising ENABLE sets

the part to its default operation. If this functionality is not used, then ENABLE should be left floating (an internal

pull-up will maintain its operation) or tied to an external VDD voltage. Do not tie ENABLE to the onboard VDD.

The VDD power-up is delayed and when power is first applied, and VDD starts low. This in turn will keep

ENABLE low and the LM25056A will not start up.

VDD and VREF also have a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that holds the LM25056A in reset until it reaches the

operating state. Note that if either of these output lines are inadvertently pulled low, the device is reset to its

initial default state, erasing the volatile memory the same as ENABLE pulled low. Once VDD and VREF have

reached the POR threshold of 2.4V, the device comes out of reset.

As an example, the SMBus address of the LM25056A is captured based on the states (GND, NC, VDD) of the

ADR0, ADR1, and ADR2 pins during turn on and is latched into a volatile register once the ENABLE pin is

determined to be high and the VDD and VREF has exceeded its POR threshold of 2.4V. Reassigning or

postponing the address capture can be accomplished by holding the ENABLE pin to AGND. For more

information on the operation of these pins, please see the PMBus Address Lines section of this datasheet.

The logic and volatile memory can also be reset with a PMBus write to the MFR_DEVICE_SETUP (D9h) register

into the software reset bit. However, this software reset will not trigger a read of the states of the address pins as

the ENABLE pin or VDD and VREF POR events will.

VDD Sub-Regulator

The LM25056A contains an internal linear sub-regulator which steps down the input voltage to generate a 3.7V

rail used for powering low voltage and low power circuitry. When the input voltage is below 3.7V, VDD will track

VIN. For input voltages 3.3V and below, VDD should be tied directly to VIN to avoid the dropout of the sub-

regulator. The VDD sub-regulator should be used as the pull-up supply for the ADR2, ADR1, and ADR0 pins if

they are to be tied high. It may also be used as the pull-up supply for SMBus signals (SDA, SCL, SMBA). The

VDD sub-regulator is not designed to drive high currents and should not be loaded to drive high current circuits.

The VDD pin is current limited to 50 mA in order to protect the LM25056A in the event of a short. The sub-

regulator requires a ceramic bypass capacitance of 1 µF or greater to be placed as close to VDD as the PCB

layout allows.

SNVS785A –JANUARY 2011–REVISED APRIL 2013

Additionally, VDD can be driven from an external source to maintain telemetry readings for VIN and temperature

if the VIN drops below its operation point. To do this, use an external 5V supply driving the VDD through a

Schottky diode. This allows for telemetry readings down to VIN=0. A large capacitor (100uF) can also be placed

at on the VDD line to momentarily supply current to the device to similarly maintain telemetry readings that would

normally shutdown and reset the device. Note that when using an external VDD drive, ENABLE will not operate

independently. To use this functionality, simply connect the external VDD source to ENABLE and lower this

source to put the LM25056A into low power mode.

Remote Temperature Sensing

The LM25056A is designed to measure temperature remotely using an MMBT3904 NPN transistor. The base

and collector of the MMBT3904 should be connected to the DIODE pin and the emitter of the MMBT3904

connected to AGND. Place the MMBT3904 near the device whose temperature is to be monitored. In noisy

environments with large currents or switching noise, it is especially important to bring this connection back to

AGND and not just to the nearest ground plane. If the temperature of a pass MOSFET is to be measured, the

MMBT3904 should be placed as close to device as the layout allows. The temperature is measured by means of

a change in an external diode voltage in response to a step in current supplied by DIODE. DIODE sources 9.2

µA but pulses 240 µA once every millisecond in order to measure the diode temperature. Care must be taken in

the PCB layout to keep the parasitic resistance between DIODE and the MMBT3904 low so as not to degrade

the measurement. Additionally, a small 100 pF bypass capacitor can be placed in parallel with the MMBT3904 to

reduce the effects of noise. The temperature can be read using the READ_TEMPERATURE_1 PMBus command

(8Dh). The default warning limit of the LM25056A will cause SMBA to be pulled low if the measured temperature

code exceeds 07D0h. The PMBus will also indicate an over temperature fault if the measured temperature code

exceeds 0960h. These thresholds can be reprogrammed via the PMBus interface using the OT_WARN_LIMIT

(51h) and OT_FAULT_LIMIT (4Fh) commands. If the temperature measurement and protection capability of the

LM25056A is not used the DIODE pin should be grounded.

DESIGN-IN PROCEDURE

(Refer to Figure 16 for Typical Application Circuit) Shown here is the step-by-step procedure for hardware design

of the LM25056A. This procedure refers to section numbers that provide detailed information on the following

design steps. The recommended design-in procedure is as follows:

Current Range, RS:Determine the current range based on the voltage dropped across the sense resistor (RS).

Depending on the GAIN setting, the voltage across the sense resistor to get a full scale reading for the current

measurement should be 30 mV for GAIN=0 and 60 mV for GAIN=1. Use the Equation 1 to determine the value

for RS.

Refer to Programming Guide section: After all hardware design is complete, refer to the programming guide

for a step by step procedure regarding software.

CURRENT RANGE, (RS)

The LM25056A monitors current by measuring the voltage across the sense resistor (RS) connected from VS+ to

VS -. The required resistor value is calculated from:

(1)

where IFS is the expected full scale current range based on the current sense gain setting (GAIN). If the voltage

across RSreaches VS, the current measurement will reach the full scale measurement. As mentioned before, it is

important to limit the current to the full scale reading. While there is internal circuitry intended to maintain the

integrity of the other readings in the telemetry, the ADC and MUX are shared and overranging an input may

compromise the integrity of the other readings.

VScan be set to either 30 mV or 60 mV through software commands. This setting defaults to the sense voltage

full scale of 30 mV (GAIN = 0), or it can be set to 60 mV (GAIN = 1). The value can be set via the PMBus with

the MFR_DEVICE_SETUP (D9h) command, which defaults to the 30 mV setting. Once the current measurement

full scale is known and the VSrange is chosen, calculate the shunt based on that input voltage and maximum

current range. The maximum load current in normal operation can be used to determine the required power

rating for resistor RS.

Connections from RSto the LM25056A should be made using Kelvin techniques. In the suggested layout of

Figure 17, the small pads at the lower corners of the sense resistor connect only to the sense resistor terminals

and not to the traces carrying the high current. With this technique, only the voltage across the sense resistor is

applied to VS+ and VS-, eliminating the voltage drop across the high current solder connections.

Figure 17. Sense Resistor Connections

PC BOARD GUIDELINES

The following guidelines should be followed when designing the PC board for the LM25056A:

• Place the LM25056A close to the board’s input connector to minimize trace inductance from the connector to

following devices.

• Place a small capacitor, CIN, (0.1µF) directly adjacent to the VIN and AGND and DGND pins of the

LM25056A to help minimize transients which may occur on the input supply line. Transients of several volts

• Place a 1 µF capacitor as close as possible to VREF pin.

• Place a 1 µF capacitor as close as possible to VDD pin.

• The sense resistor (RS) should be placed close to the LM25056A. In particular, the traces to the VS+, VS-,

and VIN pins should be made as low resistance as practical to ensure maximum current and power

measurement accuracy. Connect RSusing the Kelvin techniques shown in Figure 17.

• The high current path from the board’s input to the load and the return path should be parallel and close to

each other to minimize loop inductance.

• The ground connections for the various components around the LM25056A should be connected directly to

each other, and to the LM25056A’s DGND and AGND pins, and then connected to the system ground at one

point. Do not connect the various component grounds to each other through the high current ground line. The

ground of the MMBT3904 should also be connected to the AGND pin to prevent corruption of the temperature

diode measurement.

The MFR_ALERT_MASK is used to mask the SMBA when a specific fault or warning has occurred. Each bit

corresponds to one of the 9 different analog and digital faults or warnings that would normally result in an SMBA

being asserted. When the corresponding bit is high, that condition will not cause the SMBA to be asserted. If that

condition occurs, the registers where that condition is captured will still be updated (STATUS registers,

MFR_DIAGNOSTIC_WORD, OT_FAULT_LIMIT). This register is accessed with the PMBus Read / Write Word

protocol.

power measurements as well as relevant warning registers. The software reset bit is used to reset the

LM25056A. Writing a 1 to this bit will reset the device back to its default startup values.

MFR_SPECIFIC_10: MFR_BLOCK_READ (DAh)

The MFR_BLOCK_READ command concatenates the MFR_DIAGNOSTIC_WORD_READ with input telemetry

information (IIN, VAUX, VIN, PIN) as well as READ_TEMPERATURE_1 to capture all of the operating

information of the LM25056A in a single SMBus transaction. The block is 12 bytes long with telemetry

information being sent out in the same manner as if an individual READ_XXX command had been issued (shown

below). The contents of the block read register are updated every clock cycle (85 ns) as long as the SMBus

interface is idle. MFR_BLOCK_READ also specifies that the VIN, VAUX, IIN and PIN measurements are all time-

aligned whereas there is a chance they may not be if retrieved with individual PMBus commands.

The Block Read command is read via the PMBus block read protocol.

MFR_SPECIFIC_11: MFR_SAMPLES_FOR_AVG (DBh)

The MFR_SAMPLES_FOR AVG is a manufacturer specific command for setting the number of samples used in

computing the average values for IIN, VIN, VAUX, PIN. The decimal equivalent of the AVGN nibble is the power

of 2 samples (e.g. AVGN=12 equates to 4096 samples used in computing the average). The LM25056A supports

average numbers of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096. The MFR_SAMPLES_FOR_AVG

number applies to average values of IIN, VIN, VAUX, PIN simultaneously. The LM25056A uses simple

averaging. This is accomplished by summing consecutive results up to the number programmed, then dividing by

the number of samples. Averaging is calculated according to the following sequence:

Y = (X(N) + X(N-1) + ... + X(0)) / N (2)

When the averaging has reached the end of a sequence (for example, 4096 samples are averaged), then a

whole new sequence begins that will require the same number of samples (in this example, 4096) to be taken

before the new average is ready.

Note that a change in the MFR_SAMPLES_FOR_AVG register will not be reflected in the average telemetry

measurements until the present averaging interval has completed. The default setting for AVGN is 0000 and

therefore the average telemetry will mirror the instantaneous telemetry until a value higher than zero is

programmed.

The MFR_SAMPLES_FOR_AVG register is accessed via the PMBus read / write byte protocol.

same manner as if an individual READ_AVG_XXX command had been issued (shown below).

AVG_BLOCK_READ also specifies that the VIN, VAUX, IIN, and PIN measurements are all time-aligned

whereas there is a chance they may not be if read with individual PMBus commands. To read data from the

Reading and Writing Telemetry Data and Warning Thresholds

All measured telemetry data and user programmed warning thresholds are communicated in 12 bit two’s

compliment binary numbers read/written in 2 byte increments conforming to the Direct format as described in

section 8.3.3 of the PMBus Power System Management Protocol Specification 1.1 (Part II). The organization of

the bits in the telemetry or warning word is shown in Table 37, where Bit_11 is the most significant bit (MSB) and

Bit_0 is the least significant bit (LSB). The decimal equivalent of all warning and telemetry words are constrained

to be within the range of 0 to 4095, with the exception of temperature. The decimal equivalent value of the

temperature word ranges from 0 to 65535.

Conversion from direct format to real world dimensions of current, voltage, power, and temperature is

accomplished by determining appropriate coefficients as described in section 7.2.1 of the PMBus Power System

Management Protocol Specification 1.1 (Part II). According to this specification, the host system converts the

values received into a reading of volts, amperes, watts, or other units using the following relationship:

Where:

•X: the calculated "real world" value (volts, amps, watt, etc.)

•m: the slope coefficient

•Y: a two byte two's complement integer received from device

•b: the offset, a two byte, two's complement integer

•R: the exponent, a one byte two's complement integer

R is only necessary in systems where m is required to be an integer (for example, where m may be stored

in a register in an integrated circuit). In those cases, R only needs to be large enough to yield the desired

accuracy. (3)

Care must be taken to adjust the exponent coefficient, R, such that the values of m and b remain within the

range of -32768 to +32767. For example, if a 5 mΩsense resistor is used, the correct coefficients for the

MFR_READ_IIN command with GAIN = 0 would be m = 3363, b = -537, R = -1.

A Note on the "b" Coefficient

Since b coefficients represent offset, for simplification b is set to zero in the following discussions.

Reading Current

The current register actually displays a value equivalent to a voltage across the user specified sense resistor, RS.

The coefficients enable the data output to be converted to amps. The values shown in the example are based on

having the device programmed for a 30 mV current sense range (GAIN = 0). In the 30 mV range, the LSB value

is 7.25 µV and the full scale range is 29.68 mV. In the 60 mV current sense range (GAIN = 1), the LSB value is

14.87 µV and the full scale range in 60.88 mV.

Step Example

1. Determine full scale current and shunt value based on 29.68 mV Example: Application with 250 µΩshunt.

Reading Input Voltage

Coefficients for VIN are consistent between read telemetry measurements (e.g., READ_VIN, READ_AVG_VIN)

and warning thresholds (e.g., VIN_OV_WARN_LIMIT, VIN_UV_WARN_LIMIT). Input voltage values are

read/written in Direct format with 12-bit resolution and a 6.14 mV LSB. An example of calculating the PMBus

coefficients for input voltage is shown below. Reading the auxiliary voltage (e.g. MFR_READ_VAUX,

MFR_READ_AVG_VAUX) and setting the warning threshold (e.g. MFR_VAUX_UV_WARN_LIMIT) is done in

similar manner with different coefficients provided in Table 38.

Step Example

1. Determine m' based on full scale analog input and full scale digital

range: (11)

2. Determine exponent R necessary to set m' to integer value m with Select R to provide 5 digit accuracy for the integer value of m (which

desired accuracy: would be 16295 in this example):

(12) (13)

R = -2

m = 16295

3. Final values R = -2

b =0

Reading Power

The power calculation of the LM25056A is a relative power calculation meaning that full scale of the power

power register has the following relationship based on decimal equivalents of the register contents:

(14)

For this reason power coefficients will also vary depending on the shunt value and must be calculated for each

application. The power LSB will vary depending on shunt value according to 374 mW/RSfor the GAIN=1 range or

182 mW/RSfor the GAIN=0 range.

1. Determine full scale power from known full scale of input current Example: Application with 250 µΩshunt.

Determining Telemetry Coefficients Empirically with Linear Fit

The coefficients for telemetry measurements and warning thresholds presented in Table 38 are adequate for the

majority of applications. Current and power coefficients must be calculated per application as they are dependent

on the value of the sense resistor, RS, used. Table 39 provides the equations necessary for calculating the

current and power coefficients for the general case. The small signal nature of the current measurement make it

and the power measurement more susceptible to PCB parasitics than other telemetry channels. This may cause

slight variations in the optimum coefficients (m, b, R) for converting from Direct format digital values to real-world

values (e.g., amps and watts). The optimum coefficients can be determined empirically for a specific application

and PCB layout using two or more measurements of the telemetry channel of interest. The current coefficients

can be determined using the following method:

1. While the LM25056A is in normal operation measure the voltage across the sense resistor using kelvined

test points and a high accuracy DVM while controlling the load current. Record the integer value returned by

the MFR_READ_AVG_IIN command (with the MFR_SAMPLES_FOR_AVG set to a value greater than 0) for

two or more voltages across the sense resistor. For best results, the individual MFR_READ_AVG_IIN

measurements should span nearly the full scale range of the current (For example, voltage across RSof 5mV

and 20mV).

2. Convert the measured voltages to currents by dividing them by the value of RS. For best accuracy the value

of RSshould be measured. Table 40 assumes a sense resistor value of 5 mΩ.

Table 40. Measurements for linear fit determination of current coefficients:

Measured voltage across Measured Current (A) READ_AVG_IIN

RS(V) (integer value)

0.005 1 672

0.01 2 1362

0.02 4 2743

3. Using the spreadsheet or math program of your choice determine the slope and the y-intercept of the

returned by the MFR_READ_AVG_IIN command values versus the measured current. For the data shown in

Table 39:

(a) MFR_READ_AVG_IN value = slope x (Measured Current) + (y-intercept)

(b) slope = 690.4

4. To determine the ‘m’ coefficient, simply shift the decimal point of the calculated slope to arrive at at integer

with a suitable number of significant digits for accuracy (typically 4) while staying with the range of -32768 to

+32767. This shift in the decimal point equates to the ‘R’ coefficient. For the slope value shown above, the

decimal point would be shifted to the right once hence R= -1.

5. Once the ‘R’ coefficient has been determined, the ‘b’ coefficient is found by multiplying the y-intercept by 10-

R. In this case the value of b= -185.

(a) Calculated Current Coefficients:

(b) m= 6904

(d) R= -1

Where:

•X: the calculated "real world" value (volts, amps, watts, temperature)

•m: the slope coefficient, is the two byte, two's complement integer

•Y: a two byte two's complement integer received from device

•b: the offset, a two byte, two's complement integer

•R: the exponent, a one byte two's complement integer (21)

Step 5 can be repeated to determine the coefficients of any telemetry channel simply by substituting measured

current for some other parameter (e.g., power, voltage, etc.).

Writing Telemetry Data

There are several locations that will require writing data if their optional usage is desired. Use the same

coefficients previously calculated for your application, and apply them using this method as prescribed by the

PMBus™ revision section 7.2.2 "Sending a Value"

where

•X: the calculated "real world" value (volts, amps, watts, temperature)

•m: the slope coefficient, is the two byte, two's complement integer

•Y: a two byte two's complement integer to send to the device

•b: the offset, a two byte, two's complement integer

•R: the exponent, a one byte two's complement integer (22)

PMBus Address Lines (ADR0, ADR1, ADR2)

The three address lines are to be set high (connect to VDD), low (connect to GND), or open to select one of 27

addresses for communicating with the LM25056A. These lines are read after the ENABLE pin is returned high,

and the VDD and VREF are out of a POR condition. Table 41 depicts 7-bit addresses (eighth bit is read/write

The ARA Automatic Mask is a mask that is set in response to a successful ARA read. An ARA read operation

returns the PMBus™ address of the lowest addressed part on the bus that has its SMBA asserted. A successful

ARA read means that THIS part was the one that returned its address. When a part responds to the ARA read, it

releases the SMBA signal. When the last part on the bus that has an SMBA set has successfully reported its

address, the SMBA signal will de-assert.

The way that the LM25056A releases the SMBA signal is by setting the ARA Automatic mask bit for all fault

conditions present at the time of the ARA read. All status registers will still show the fault condition, but it will not

generate and SMBA on that fault again until the ARA Automatic mask is cleared by the host issuing a Clear Fault

command to this part. This should be done as a routine part of servicing an SMBA condition on a part, even if the

ARA read is not done. Figure 20 depicts a schematic version of this flow.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves 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.

TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated

circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and

services.

Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI 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 reproduced

documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements

different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the

associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.

Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers

remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have

full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products

used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with

respect to their applications, Designer 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 applications that include TI products, Designer will

thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.

TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,

including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to

assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any

way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource

solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.

TI’s provision of TI Resources 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 TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,

enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically

described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.

Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that

include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. 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

regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or

endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources 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 RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR

REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, 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 DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,

INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF

PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES 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 TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949

and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.

Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such

products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards

and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must

ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. 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.

TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).

Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications

and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory

requirements in connection with such selection.

Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-

compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
