Bourns provides a recommended PCB layout and land pattern in their application notes. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure proper thermal management, minimize parasitic inductance, and optimize performance.
To minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), keep the inductor at least 5 mm away from sensitive components. You can also use shielding techniques, such as copper tape or mu-metal shielding, to contain the magnetic field.
While the datasheet specifies a maximum rated current, it's essential to note that the maximum allowable voltage is 80% of the saturation voltage (Vsat) to prevent core saturation and ensure reliable operation.
The SRF can be estimated using the inductor's inductance and capacitance values. Above the SRF, the inductor behaves like a capacitor, which can affect your design's performance. Consult Bourns' application notes or contact their support team for guidance on SRF calculation and mitigation techniques.
For high-current applications, ensure good thermal conductivity between the inductor and the PCB. Use thermal vias, thermal pads, or thermal interface materials to facilitate heat dissipation. Also, consider the inductor's temperature coefficient and derate the current accordingly to prevent overheating.
