STMicroelectronics recommends a 2-layer or 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a thermal relief pattern under the IC to ensure optimal thermal performance.
STMicroelectronics provides a dedicated software tool, the L6728AHTR Evaluation Board, which allows users to configure and test the device according to their specific application requirements.
STMicroelectronics recommends using X7R or X5R ceramic capacitors with a minimum capacitance of 10uF for the input and output capacitors, and a voltage rating of at least 1.5 times the maximum input voltage.
The thermal shutdown feature is automatically enabled when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. To handle this, ensure proper heat sinking, reduce power dissipation, and implement a thermal monitoring system to prevent overheating.
The recommended input voltage range for the L6728AHTR is 4.5V to 18V, with a maximum input voltage of 20V for short-term transients.
