LM3410 / Audible Noise

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM3410XBSTOVPEV, LM3410

Hi,

My customer is evaluating LM3410 on EVM (LM3410XBSTOVPEV) and troubled by audible noise.

Could you tell countermeasure and what we should confirm?

Condition are followings;

- Noise happens when they input PWM into DIM pin.

- Noise doesn't change when they change duty of PWM.

- Noise doesn't change when they touch each external component.

- Noise changes when they change PWM frequency.

  Tone of noise scales linearity with PWM frequency.

- Noise decreases when they add the Cout.

Please let me know if there is lack of information.

Best Regards,

Kuramochi

  • Hi Kuramochi-san,

    I am wondering if you are hearing the Piezo ringing which can occur with MLCC's (Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors). Have you trying a POSCAP, Oscon, or other non-ceramic capacitor at the output?
