A 2-layer or 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias under the IC is recommended. This helps to dissipate heat efficiently and reduce thermal resistance.
Ensure that the input voltage rises monotonically during start-up, and the output voltage is properly sequenced during shutdown. A soft-start circuit can also be used to reduce inrush current.
The maximum allowed input voltage ripple is 10% of the nominal input voltage. Exceeding this limit may affect the regulator's stability and performance.
Yes, but ensure that the junction temperature (TJ) does not exceed 150°C. The device is rated for operation up to 125°C, but derating may be necessary for high-temperature applications.
Check the PCB layout, component selection, and input/output capacitance. Ensure that the output capacitor is sufficient and the input filter is properly designed. Consult the datasheet and application notes for guidance.
