DS3695ATMX Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended layout and routing for the DS3695ATMX?
  Texas Instruments provides a recommended layout and routing guide in the DS3695ATMX datasheet, application notes, and evaluation module documentation. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure proper operation, minimize noise, and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• How do I select the correct input capacitor values for the DS3695ATMX?
  The input capacitor values depend on the input voltage, output voltage, and desired output ripple. Texas Instruments provides a capacitor selection guide in the datasheet and application notes. A general rule of thumb is to use a minimum of 10uF ceramic capacitors with a voltage rating of at least 1.5 times the input voltage.
• What is the maximum output current capability of the DS3695ATMX?
  The maximum output current capability of the DS3695ATMX is 1.5A. However, the actual output current depends on the input voltage, output voltage, and thermal conditions. It's essential to ensure the device operates within the recommended operating conditions to avoid overheating and damage.
• How do I implement overcurrent protection with the DS3695ATMX?
  The DS3695ATMX has a built-in overcurrent protection feature that can be enabled by connecting the OCSET pin to a resistor divider network. The resistor values determine the overcurrent threshold. Texas Instruments provides a detailed explanation and calculation method in the datasheet and application notes.
• What is the purpose of the EN pin, and how do I use it?
  The EN (enable) pin is used to enable or disable the DS3695ATMX. When the EN pin is high, the device is enabled, and when it's low, the device is disabled. This pin can be used to implement power sequencing, shutdown, or low-power modes in the system.
