PRODUCTION DATA
A precision 0.8V reference voltage (VREF) is used to maintain a tightly regulated output voltage over the entire operating temperature range. The output voltage is set by a resistor divider from VOUT to the FB pin. TI recommends to use 1% tolerance resistors with a low temperature coefficient for the FB divider. Select the bottom-side resistor RFBB for the desired divider current and use Equation 1 to calculate top-side resistor RFBT. The recommended range for RFBT is 10kΩ to 100kΩ. A lower RFBT value can be used if pre-loading is desired to reduce VOUT offset in PFM operation. Lower RFBT reduces efficiency at very light load. Less static current goes through a larger RFBT and can be more desirable when light-load efficiency is critical. However, TI does not recommend RFBT larger than 1MΩ because RFBT larger than 1MΩ makes the feedback path more susceptible to noise. Larger RFBT values require more carefully designed feedback path trace from the feedback resistors to the feedback pin of the device. The tolerance and temperature variation of the resistor divider network affect the output voltage regulation.
