A recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance would be to use a 2-layer or 4-layer board with a solid ground plane on the bottom layer, and to place thermal vias under the IC to dissipate heat effectively.
To ensure stable output voltage regulation, it's essential to follow the recommended input and output capacitor values, and to place them close to the IC. Additionally, a minimum load current of 1mA is recommended to maintain regulation.
The maximum allowable power dissipation for the PT7M1818-10TEX is dependent on the ambient temperature and the thermal resistance of the PCB. As a general guideline, the maximum power dissipation is around 1.5W at an ambient temperature of 25°C.
The PT7M1818-10TEX is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the maximum junction temperature should not exceed 150°C. It's essential to ensure proper thermal management and to derate the power dissipation accordingly for high-temperature applications.
To protect the device from input voltage transients, it's recommended to use a TVS diode or a transient voltage suppressor at the input, and to ensure that the input capacitor is rated for the maximum expected input voltage.
