LM61440: Unused VIN2

Part Number: LM61440

Hi Team,

One quick question.

Will the device work with only one power input(VIN1)?

My customer understands it gets better EMI performance when using both VIN pins but they want to use only one side for cost and layout size reduction. so please tell me if it's possible or not.

Regards,

    Hi Takashi-san,

    It is possible but the IC and the IC should work but it may not be optimized to work in such a way (in terms of thermal, efficiency, EMI, etc since you only used one side of the VIN) 

    Another alternative is to check with the EVM for the customer condition to see if they are satisfied with the performance by using one VIN pin

    Thanks

    Hi Arief-san,

    Thanks for your prompt response on this. I understood that it might be possible but we haven't check.

    I will ask them to check that on their bench with our EVM if needed.
