BQ29312APWR datasheet by Texas Instruments

BQ29312APWR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the BQ29312APWR?
  A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the high-current paths short and wide, and use thermal vias to dissipate heat.
• How do I ensure the BQ29312APWR is properly thermally managed?
  Use a heat sink with a thermal resistance of 10°C/W or lower, and ensure good airflow around the device. Apply a thin layer of thermal interface material to the heat sink.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage on the input pins?
  The maximum allowed voltage on the input pins is 24V, but it's recommended to keep it below 20V to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use the BQ29312APWR in a high-temperature environment?
  The BQ29312APWR is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the maximum junction temperature should not exceed 150°C. Ensure proper thermal management and derate the device accordingly.
• How do I troubleshoot issues with the BQ29312APWR?
  Use an oscilloscope to monitor the input and output voltages, and check for proper power sequencing. Verify that the input voltage is within the recommended range and that the device is properly thermally managed.
