The recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance involves placing the device on a thermal pad connected to a large copper area on the PCB, and ensuring good airflow around the device. A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a thermal relief pattern around the thermal pad is also recommended.
To ensure reliable start-up of the converter, ensure that the input voltage rises monotonically and that the input voltage is above the UVLO threshold (around 2.5V) before enabling the device. Also, ensure that the output capacitor is properly sized to handle the inrush current during start-up.
The maximum allowed capacitance on the output of the converter is not explicitly specified in the datasheet, but as a general rule, it is recommended to keep the output capacitance below 100uF to avoid stability issues. However, the actual maximum allowed capacitance will depend on the specific application and the desired output voltage ripple.
To troubleshoot issues with the OCP feature, first ensure that the sense resistor is properly sized and connected. Then, check the output current and sense voltage to ensure that they are within the specified limits. If the OCP is still not functioning correctly, check for any layout or component issues that may be causing the sense voltage to be inaccurate.
The recommended input filter configuration to minimize EMI emissions involves using a pi-filter (C-L-C) or a common-mode choke in combination with a capacitor. The filter components should be chosen to provide a high impedance at the switching frequency and its harmonics.
