A good PCB layout for the AP8801SG-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 ensures reliable operation.
To ensure stable output voltage regulation, make sure to decouple the input and output with suitable capacitors, and use a stable input voltage source. Additionally, ensure the output capacitor is within the recommended range (10uF to 100uF) and has a low ESR.
The AP8801SG-13 is rated for operation up to 85°C ambient temperature. However, for reliable long-term operation, it's recommended to keep the ambient temperature below 70°C to minimize thermal stress.
While the AP8801SG-13 is a high-quality device, it's essential to consult with Diodes Incorporated or a qualified representative to determine its suitability for high-reliability or automotive applications, as additional testing and validation may be required.
A 10uF to 22uF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended for input decoupling. This helps to filter out input noise and ensures stable operation.
