A 2-layer or 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias is recommended. The device should be placed near a thermal pad or heat sink to dissipate heat efficiently.
The device requires a 5V supply voltage (VIN) and a 1.8V core voltage (VCC). Ensure that the input voltage is within the recommended range and that the core voltage is properly regulated.
The maximum current rating for the output pins is 1A. However, it's recommended to limit the current to 500mA to ensure reliable operation and minimize thermal stress.
The device has a built-in thermal shutdown feature that activates when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. When this occurs, the device will shut down and restart when the temperature drops below 140°C. Ensure that your design can handle this shutdown and restart sequence.
A 10uF to 22uF ceramic capacitor with an X5R or X7R dielectric is recommended for the input capacitor. This ensures stable operation and minimizes voltage ripple.
