PTH03010WAS datasheet by Texas Instruments

PTH03010WAS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the PTH03010WAS?
  The maximum operating temperature range for the PTH03010WAS is -40°C to 125°C, but it's recommended to operate within -20°C to 100°C for optimal performance.
• How do I ensure the PTH03010WAS is properly thermally connected to the PCB?
  To ensure proper thermal connection, use a thermal interface material (TIM) with a thermal conductivity of at least 1 W/m-K, and apply a thin layer (less than 0.1 mm) to the exposed thermal pad. Also, ensure the PCB has a solid copper pour under the device with multiple vias to dissipate heat.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for the PTH03010WAS?
  The recommended input capacitor value is 10 μF to 22 μF, and it's recommended to use a low-ESR ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R dielectric) with a voltage rating of at least 25 V.
• How do I layout the PCB to minimize noise and EMI with the PTH03010WAS?
  To minimize noise and EMI, keep the input and output traces separate, use a solid ground plane, and place the input capacitor close to the device. Also, avoid running high-frequency traces near the device and use shielding or a Faraday cage if necessary.
• What is the maximum output current capability of the PTH03010WAS?
  The maximum output current capability of the PTH03010WAS is 3 A per channel, but it's recommended to derate the current based on the ambient temperature and thermal design to ensure reliable operation.
