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 power paths.
Ensure that the output capacitor has a low ESR, and the feedback network is properly compensated. Also, avoid using long, thin traces for the feedback path, and keep the feedback components close to the IC.
The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the VIN pin is 28V, but it's recommended to keep it below 24V for optimal performance and reliability.
Yes, but it's recommended to use an X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor with a low ESR to ensure stability and optimal performance.
The output voltage ripple can be calculated using the formula: ΔVout = (Iout * ESR) / (fsw * Cout), where Iout is the output current, ESR is the output capacitor's equivalent series resistance, fsw is the switching frequency, and Cout is the output capacitance.
