Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout for the LM25088QMH-2/NOPB in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow general guidelines for thermal management, such as using a solid ground plane, placing thermal vias under the device, and using a heat sink if necessary.
To ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments, it's essential to follow the recommended operating conditions, use a heat sink if necessary, and ensure good thermal conductivity between the device and the heat sink. Additionally, consider using a thermal interface material (TIM) to improve heat transfer.
Using a different input capacitor value than recommended may affect the stability and performance of the regulator. A larger input capacitor can improve noise rejection, but may also increase the startup time and reduce the regulator's ability to respond to transient changes. A smaller input capacitor may reduce the startup time, but may also compromise noise rejection.
To troubleshoot issues with the regulator's output voltage, check the input voltage, output load, and output capacitor values. Ensure that the input voltage is within the recommended range, the output load is within the specified current limit, and the output capacitor value is as recommended. Also, check for any signs of overheating or electrical noise that may be affecting the regulator's performance.
The LM25088QMH-2/NOPB is a linear regulator, not a switching regulator. It's not designed to operate in a switching regulator application and may not provide the required performance or efficiency. Texas Instruments offers other products, such as the TPS63050, that are specifically designed for switching regulator applications.
