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 consider the voltage across the inductor as well. As a general rule, keep the voltage across the inductor below 1.5 times the maximum rated voltage to prevent saturation and ensure reliable operation.
The SRF is typically not a concern in most applications. However, if you're operating near the SRF, ensure your design includes proper damping mechanisms, such as resistors or capacitors, to prevent oscillations and ensure stability.
The tolerance on inductance value is typically ±10% or ±20%. When designing, consider the worst-case scenario (i.e., the minimum or maximum inductance value) to ensure your circuit operates within specifications.
