STMicroelectronics provides a recommended PCB layout in the application note AN4553, which includes guidelines for component placement, routing, and thermal management to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
The selection of the inductor depends on the specific application requirements, such as the input voltage, output voltage, and output current. STMicroelectronics provides a list of recommended inductors in the datasheet, and also offers an inductor selection tool on their website to help engineers choose the right inductor for their design.
The maximum junction temperature of the L6717 is 150°C, as specified in the datasheet. However, it's recommended to keep the junction temperature below 125°C to ensure reliable operation and long-term reliability.
The L6717 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's not recommended to use it in high-temperature environments above 105°C without proper derating and thermal management. Engineers should consult the datasheet and application notes for guidance on using the L6717 in high-temperature applications.
STMicroelectronics provides a troubleshooting guide in the application note AN4553, which covers common issues and their solutions, such as output voltage regulation, efficiency, and thermal management. Engineers can also consult the datasheet and contact STMicroelectronics' technical support for further assistance.
