A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the input and output capacitors close to the IC, and use short and wide traces for the power lines.
To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and ensure that the output capacitor's ESR is less than 1 ohm. Also, avoid using ceramic capacitors with high ESR.
Although the datasheet specifies a maximum input voltage of 18V, it's recommended to limit the input voltage to 15V to ensure reliable operation and prevent overheating.
Yes, but with some precautions. The IC can operate up to 125°C, but the output current should be derated by 50% above 85°C to prevent overheating. Also, ensure good airflow and a heat sink if necessary.
Check the input voltage, output voltage, and output current. Verify that the input and output capacitors are properly connected and meet the recommended specifications. Also, check for any signs of overheating or physical damage.
