A good PCB layout for the MC34439 should ensure that the input and output tracks are separated, and the power supply tracks are wide and short. Additionally, decoupling capacitors should be placed close to the device, and the ground plane should be solid and unbroken.
The values of R1 and R2 depend on the desired output voltage and the input voltage. A good starting point is to use the formula: R1/R2 = (Vout - Vref) / Vref, where Vref is the internal reference voltage (typically 2.5V). Adjust the values based on the specific application requirements.
The MC34439 can deliver up to 1.5A of output current, but this may vary depending on the input voltage, output voltage, and ambient temperature. It's essential to check the device's thermal performance and ensure proper heat sinking to avoid overheating.
To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and ensure that the output capacitor has a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). Additionally, use a good quality input capacitor with a low ESR, and keep the input and output tracks short and wide.
The MC34439 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade at high temperatures. Ensure proper heat sinking, and consider using a heat sink with a thermal resistance of less than 10°C/W. Also, check the device's thermal performance and adjust the design accordingly.
