The recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance involves placing the device on a 2-layer or 4-layer board with a solid ground plane on the bottom layer, and using thermal vias to connect the exposed pad to the ground plane. Additionally, keeping the copper traces wide and short can help to reduce thermal resistance.
To ensure reliable start-up of the device, it is recommended to use a soft-start circuit to limit the inrush current during power-up. Additionally, the input voltage should be ramped up slowly to prevent voltage spikes that can cause the device to malfunction.
The maximum allowed voltage on the EN pin is 6V. Exceeding this voltage can cause damage to the device. It is recommended to use a voltage divider or a clamp circuit to limit the voltage on the EN pin to within the recommended range.
The output voltage ripple can be calculated using the formula: ΔVout = (Iout * ESL) / (Cout * fsw), where Iout is the output current, ESL is the equivalent series inductance of the output capacitor, Cout is the output capacitance, and fsw is the switching frequency.
The recommended input capacitor type is a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10uF to 22uF. The input capacitor should be placed as close to the device as possible to minimize the input voltage ripple.
