59kΩ. Values higher than this can cause stability
problems, while lower values can degrade light
load efficiency. For a 2.5V output with R4 set to
59kΩ, R3 is 187kΩ.

Once the total losses have been determined, the
junction temperature can be derived from the θJA for
the QFN package. Close attention should be paid to
the proper layout for the QFN package. Proper size
and placement of thermal routing vias below the
central paddle is necessary for good heat transfer to
other PCB layers and their ground planes. The θJA
for the QFN package with no connection to the cen-
tral paddle is 50°C/W. The actual θJA will vary with
the number and type of vias. The PCB board size,
number of board layers, and ground plane charac-
teristics also influence the θJA. A good thermal con-
nection from the paddle to the PCB ground plane
layers can significantly reduce θJA.

Buck-Boost Output
Figure 4 shows how to configure the AAT1157 in a
buck boost configuration with an external MOSFET
and Schottky diode. The converter has a 3.3V
600mA output with an input voltage ranging from
2.7V to 5.5V.
Adjustable Output
Resistors R3 and R4, as shown in Figure 1, force
the output to regulate higher than the 0.6V refer-
ence voltage level. The optimum value for R4 is
VIN 2.7V to 5.5V
