  • Integrated VCCS and PI controller (vs Discrete implementations)
  • Wide range air fuel sensor support (vs Narrow range sensor interfaces)

Design Notes

Ensure proper decoupling on the VCC pin with a 100nF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the pin. Use a 10uF bulk capacitor for low-frequency filtering. The LQFP package has exposed pads that should be soldered to a thermal pad on the PCB for improved heat dissipation.

The external compensation network must be tuned according to the specific air fuel sensor used. Incorrect compensation can lead to control loop instability and inaccurate readings. Refer to the datasheet for recommended component values and tuning procedures.

In high-temperature engine bay environments, ensure adequate thermal management. The LQFP package has a thermal resistance that may require a heatsink or forced airflow for reliable operation. Calculate power dissipation based on the pump current and supply voltage to determine if additional cooling is needed.
