APPLICATIONS
• Automotive Control Modules for:
□ EPS modules
□ Automotive power trains
□ CAN power supplies
□ High-temperature applications
-
Enable inputs to the A4412 include a logic level (ENB) and a
high-voltage (ENBAT). The A4412 also provides flexibility
with disable function of the individual 5 V rails through a serial
peripheral interface (SPI).
Diagnostic outputs from the A4412 include a power-on-reset
output (NPOR), an ENBAT status output, and a fault flag
output to alert the microprocessor that a fault has occurred.
The microprocessor can read fault status through SPI. Dual
bandgaps, one for regulation and one for fault checking, improve
safety coverage and fault detection of the A4412.
The A4412 contains a Window Watchdog timer with a detect
period of 2 ms. The watchdog timer is activated once it receives
valid 2 ms pulses from the processor. The watchdog can be put
into flash mode or be reset via secure SPI commands.
The A4412 is supplied in a low-profile (1.2 mm maximum
height) 38-lead eTSSOP package (suffix “LV”) with exposed
power pad.

Bandgaps
The A4412 is a power management IC that uses a buck or buck/
boost pre-regulator to efficiently convert automotive battery
voltages into a tightly regulated intermediate voltage complete
with control, diagnostics and protections. The output of the preregulator supplies a 5 V / 100 mA protected linear regulator, a
3.3 V / 90 mA linear regulator, a 5 V / 200 mA linear regulator, a
5 V / 55 mA linear regulator, a 5 V / 30 mA linear regulator and
an adjustable 400 mA synchronous buck regulator. Designed
to supply CAN transceiver, sensor, and microprocessor power
supplies in high-temperature environments, the A4412 is ideal
for under-hood applications.
Protection features include undervoltage and overvoltage on
all output rails. In case of a shorted output, all linear regulators
feature foldback overcurrent protection. In addition, the V5P
output is protected from a short-to-battery event. Both switching
regulators include pulse-by-pulse current limit, hiccup mode
short-circuit protection, LX short-circuit protection, missing
asynchronous diode protection (VREG only) and thermal
shutdown.

Synchronous Buck Soft-Start and Hiccup
Mode Timing
The soft-start time of the synchronous buck is determined by the
value of the capacitance at the soft-start pin, CSS2.
If the A4412 is starting into a very heavy load, a very fast softstart time may cause the regulator to exceed the pulse-by-pulse
overcurrent threshold. To avoid prematurely triggering hiccup
mode, the soft-start time, tSS2, should be calculated according to
equation 29,
tSS2 = VSYNC_BUCK ×
CO
ICO
(29)
Where VSYNC_BUCK is the output voltage, CO is the output
capacitance, ICO is the amount of current allowed to charge the
output capacitance during soft-start (recommend 20 mA < ICO <
30 mA). Higher values of ICO result in faster soft-start time and
lower values of ICO ensure that hiccup mode is not falsely triggered. We recommend starting the design with an ICO of 20 mA
and increasing it only if the soft-start time is too slow.
Then CSS2 can be selected based on equation 30,
CSS2 >
ISS2SU × t SS1
0.8
(30)
If a non-standard capacitor value for CSS2 is calculated, the next
larger value should be used.
The voltage at the soft-start pin will start from 0 V and will be

A4412
charged by the soft-start current, ISS2SU. However, PWM switching will not begin instantly because the voltage at the soft-start
pin must rise above the soft-start offset voltage (VSS2OFFS). The
soft start delay (tSS2,DELAY) can be calculated using equation 31,
tSS2,DELAY = CSS2 ×
VSS2OFFS
ISS2SU
(31)
When the A4412 is in hiccup mode, the soft-start capacitor sets
the hiccup period. During a startup attempt, the soft-start pin
charges the soft-start capacitor with ISS2SU and discharges the
same capacitor with ISS2HIC between startup attempts.
In applications where the A4412 will be enabled with VREG >
VREG UV threshold (VREGUV,H), the above guidance for CSS2
will not be optimal and could result in output overshoot on
VSYNC_BUCK. For further information on properly sizing both
CSS1 and CSS2 in this event, see the Pre-Regulator Soft Start and
Hiccup Mode Timing (CSS1) section of this datasheet.
Linear Regulators
The five linear regulators only require an ceramic capacitor to
ensure stable operation. The capacitor can be any value between
1 and 15 μF. A 2.2 μF capacitor per regulator is recommended.
Also, since the V5P is used to power remote circuitry, its load can
include long cables. The inductance of these cables may cause
negative spikes on the V5P pin if a short occurs. It is recommended to use a small diode to clamp this negative spike. A
MSS1P5 is recommended.
Internal Bias (VCC)
The internal bias voltage should be decoupled at the VCC pin
using a 1 μF ceramic capacitor. It is not recommended to use this
pin as a source.
Signal Pins (NPOR, ENBATs, FFn, POE, DIAG)
The A4412 has many signal level pins. The NPOR, FFn, and
ENBATS are open-drain outputs and require external pull-up
resistors. The DIAG and POE signals are push-pull outputs and
do not require external pull-up resistors.

PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
The input ceramic capacitors must be located as close as possible
to the VIN pins. In general, the smaller capacitors (0402, 0603)
must be placed very close to the VIN pin. The larger capacitors
should be placed within 0.5 inches of the VIN pin. There must
not be any vias between the input capacitors and the VIN pins.
The pre-regulator input ceramic capacitors, A4412 VIN and
LX1, and asynchronous diode (D1), must be routed on one layer.
This loop should be as small as possible, see below. The snubber (RN1 and CN1) should be placed close to D1. A single star
point ground connected to the ground plane using multiple vias is
recommended.
The synchronous buck output inductor should be located near
the LX2 pins. The trace from the LX2 pins to the output inductor
(L2) should be relatively wide and preferably on the same layer
as the IC.
The two synchronous buck feedback resistors (RFB1, RFB2)
must be located near the FB pin. The output capacitors should be
located near the load. The output voltage sense trace (to RFB1)
must connect at the load for the best regulation, trace A in figure
below goes to load.
The pre-regulator output inductor (L1) should be located close to
the LX1 pins. The LX1 trace widths (to L1, D1) should be relatively wide and preferably on the same layer as the IC.
The pre-regulators output ceramic capacitors should be located
near the VREG pin. There must be 1 or 2 smaller ceramic capacitors as close as possible to the VREG pin.

A4412
Buck or Buck/Boost Pre-Regulator with Synchronous Buck,
5 Internal Linear Regulators, Pulse-Width Watchdog Timer, and SPI
The two charge pump capacitors must be placed as close as possible to VCP and CP1/CP2.
The ceramic capacitors for the LDOs (3V3, V5A, V5B, V5P, and
V5CAN) must be placed near their output pins. The V5P output
must have a 1 A / 40 V Schottky diode (D3) located very close to
its pin to limit negative voltages.
The thermal pad under the A4412 must connect to the ground
plane(s) with multiple vias.
The VCC bypass capacitor must be placed very close to the VCC
pin.
The COMP network for both buck regulators (CZx, RZx, CPx)
must be located very close to the COMPx pin.

A4412
Buck or Buck/Boost Pre-Regulator with Synchronous Buck,
5 Internal Linear Regulators, Pulse-Width Watchdog Timer, and SPI
The boost MOSFET (Q1) and the boost diode (D2) must be
placed very close to each other. Q1 should have thermal vias to a
polygon on the bottom layer. Also, there should be “local” bypass
capacitors from D2 anode to Q1 source.
