A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the input and output capacitors close to the IC, and use short, wide traces for the high-current paths.
Choose an inductor with a high saturation current rating, low DC resistance, and a suitable inductance value (e.g., 1-10 μH). Consider the inductor's physical size, core material, and operating frequency.
The MAX17760ATC+ is rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C. However, the device's performance and reliability may degrade at extreme temperatures.
Yes, but ensure the PCB is securely mounted and the components are properly soldered. Consider using a vibration-resistant capacitor and inductor, and add mechanical stress relief to the PCB if necessary.
Use an oscilloscope to monitor the input and output voltages, and check for signs of overheating, oscillation, or excessive current draw. Consult the datasheet and application notes for troubleshooting guidelines.
