LNK363DN datasheet by Power Integrations

LNK363DN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum output power of LNK363DN?
  The maximum output power of LNK363DN is 3.5W, but it can be increased to 5W with proper thermal design and heat sinking.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 2.2uF, and consider adding a 10nF ceramic capacitor in parallel to reduce output voltage ripple.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type?
  A 10uF to 22uF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor is recommended for the input, placed as close to the IC as possible to minimize noise and ensure stable operation.
• How do I optimize the layout for thermal performance?
  To optimize thermal performance, ensure a solid ground plane, use a thermal pad under the IC, and keep the thermal path clear of other components and traces.
• What is the maximum ambient temperature for reliable operation?
  The maximum ambient temperature for reliable operation is 85°C, but it can be derated to 70°C for high-reliability applications.
