AON6230 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AON6230?
  The AON6230 can operate from -40°C to 150°C, making it suitable for high-reliability applications.
• How do I ensure the AON6230 is properly biased for optimal performance?
  To ensure proper biasing, connect the VIN pin to a stable voltage source, and the EN pin to a logic-level signal. Also, ensure the input voltage is within the recommended range of 4.5V to 18V.
• What is the recommended PCB layout for the AON6230 to minimize EMI and thermal issues?
  To minimize EMI and thermal issues, use a multi-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and place the AON6230 near the input capacitors. Also, use a thermal pad and vias to dissipate heat efficiently.
• How do I protect the AON6230 from overvoltage and undervoltage conditions?
  Use a voltage supervisor or a voltage monitor IC to detect overvoltage and undervoltage conditions, and implement a shutdown or reset mechanism to protect the AON6230.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for the AON6230?
  Use a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10uF to 22uF, and a voltage rating of 25V or higher, placed as close as possible to the VIN pin.
