Thermal Management and Layout
Consideration
In the AOZ1031A buck regulator circuit, high pulsing cur-
rent flows through two circuit loops. The first loop starts
from the input capacitors, to the VIN pin, to the LX pins,
to the filter inductor, to the output capacitor and load, and
then return to the input capacitor through ground. Current
flows in the first loop when the high side switch is on. The
second loop starts from inductor, to the output capacitors
and load, to the low side NMOSFET. Current flows in the
second loop when the low side NMOSFET is on.
In PCB layout, minimizing the two loops area reduces the
noise of this circuit and improves efficiency. A ground
plane is strongly recommended to connect input capaci-
tor, output capacitor, and PGND pin of the AOZ1031A.
In the AOZ1031A buck regulator circuit, the major power
dissipating components are the AOZ1031A and the out-
put inductor. The total power dissipation of converter cir-
cuit can be measured by input power minus output
power.
The power dissipation of inductor can be approximately
calculated by output current and DCR of inductor.
The actual junction temperature can be calculated with
power dissipation in the AOZ1031A and thermal imped-
ance from junction to ambient.
The maximum junction temperature of AOZ1031A is

load current of the AOZ1031A under different ambient
temperature.
The thermal performance of the AOZ1031A is strongly
affected by the PCB layout. Extra care should be taken
by users during design process to ensure that the IC will
operate under the recommended environmental condi-
tions.
