PAM2863ECR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  A thermal pad is recommended to be connected to a large copper area on the PCB to dissipate heat efficiently. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness is recommended for optimal thermal performance.
• How do I ensure the device operates within the recommended operating conditions?
  Ensure the input voltage is within the recommended range of 2.7V to 5.5V, and the output current does not exceed 3A. Also, ensure the device is operated within the recommended ambient temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for optimal performance?
  A 10uF ceramic capacitor with an X5R or X7R dielectric is recommended for optimal performance. The capacitor should be placed as close to the VIN pin as possible.
• How do I minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in my design?
  Use a shielded inductor, keep the layout compact, and minimize the loop area of the power traces to reduce EMI. Also, ensure the device is placed away from sensitive analog circuits.
• What is the recommended output capacitor value and type for optimal performance?
  A 22uF ceramic capacitor with an X5R or X7R dielectric is recommended for optimal performance. The capacitor should be placed as close to the VOUT pin as possible.
