Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow the guidelines in the application note 'BQ29312PWR PCB Layout Guidelines' (SLUAUH7) for optimal performance and thermal management.
The selection of external components such as inductors, capacitors, and resistors depends on the specific application and design requirements. Texas Instruments provides a component selection guide in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to use the WEBENCH Power Designer tool to simplify the component selection process.
The BQ29312PWR can operate in ambient temperatures up to 105°C, but the maximum junction temperature (TJ) is 150°C. It's essential to ensure proper thermal management and heat sinking to prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation.
Yes, the BQ29312PWR is qualified for automotive and high-reliability applications. It meets the requirements of the AEC-Q100 standard and is designed to operate in harsh environments. However, it's essential to follow the recommended design and testing guidelines to ensure compliance with the specific application requirements.
Texas Instruments provides a troubleshooting guide in the datasheet, which covers common issues and their solutions. Additionally, the TI E2E community forum and the BQ29312PWR product page on the TI website provide access to FAQs, application notes, and other resources to help troubleshoot and resolve issues.
