Texas Instruments recommends a 2-layer PCB with a solid ground plane on the bottom layer and a thermal relief pattern on the top layer to ensure optimal thermal performance.
To ensure reliable operation at high temperatures, it is recommended to derate the device's power dissipation according to the thermal derating curve provided in the datasheet, and to ensure good thermal conduction to the PCB and heat sink.
The recommended input capacitor value is 10uF to 22uF, and a low-ESR ceramic capacitor such as X5R or X7R is recommended to ensure stable operation.
To prevent EOS damage, it is recommended to use a TVS diode or a transient voltage suppressor at the input, and to ensure that the input voltage does not exceed the maximum rating specified in the datasheet.
The recommended output capacitor value is 10uF to 22uF, and a low-ESR ceramic capacitor such as X5R or X7R is recommended to ensure stable operation and minimize output voltage ripple.
