    (it can operate in default mode too). It includes robust fault monitoring functions. The LX7165 will operate from 3V to 5.5V, and is available in several fixed output voltage options from 0.6V to 0.97V (no voltage divider is necessary). Each version’s output voltage can also be made adjustable with use of an external voltage divider.

    Recommend C9=33pF. The formula below gives the value of VOUT. is determined by the chip, for example, to set LX7165-03CSP VOUT = 1.83V, given = 0.97V. First pick the lower resistor R =150k, calculate the upper resistor R1=133k, and C9=33pF.
  • Page 9: Pcb Layout Of Evaluation Board

    PCB Layout of Evaluation Board The LX7165 EVAL Board is a 4-layer board, the thickness of the board is 63mil in total. The second layer to top layer is 7mil, the third layer to the bottom layer is 7mil. There’s no microvias or blind vias needed, each signal can leave the LX7165 directly without using any via under the device.
