STMicroelectronics provides a recommended PCB layout in the LS5018B application note (AN2861) which includes guidelines for component placement, routing, and thermal management to ensure optimal performance and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The LS5018B can be configured for a specific frequency range by adjusting the values of the external components R1, R2, and C1. The datasheet provides a formula to calculate these values based on the desired frequency range. Additionally, STMicroelectronics provides a spreadsheet calculator to simplify the calculation process.
The LS5018B is rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C, but the maximum operating temperature range may vary depending on the specific application and the thermal management of the system. It is recommended to consult the datasheet and application notes for more information on thermal management and derating.
To ensure EMC with the LS5018B, it is recommended to follow the guidelines provided in the datasheet and application notes, including proper PCB layout, component selection, and shielding. Additionally, STMicroelectronics provides EMC-related documentation and support to help designers meet EMC requirements.
The typical start-up time for the LS5018B is around 10 ms, but this can vary depending on the specific application and the values of the external components. The datasheet provides more information on the start-up time and the factors that affect it.
