A good PCB layout for the AP2162ASG-13 should include a solid ground plane, wide power traces, and a thermal relief pattern under the IC. This helps to reduce thermal resistance and improve heat dissipation.
To ensure stable output voltage regulation, make sure to decouple the input and output pins with suitable capacitors, and provide a stable input voltage within the recommended range. Also, avoid overloading the regulator and ensure proper heat sinking.
Although the datasheet specifies a maximum input voltage of 26V, it's recommended to limit the input voltage to 24V to ensure reliable operation and prevent damage to the IC.
The AP2162ASG-13 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. It's essential to consider the thermal design and heat sinking to ensure the IC operates within its specified temperature range.
The output voltage tolerance can be calculated by adding the output voltage accuracy (specified in the datasheet) to the temperature coefficient of the output voltage. This will give you the total output voltage tolerance over the operating temperature range.
