A good PCB layout for the TLDR6400 should ensure that the input and output tracks are separated as much as possible, and that the device is placed close to the load to minimize inductance. A ground plane should also be used to reduce noise and EMI.
The input capacitor value depends on the input voltage ripple and the desired output voltage ripple. A general rule of thumb is to choose a capacitor with a value of at least 10uF to 22uF for most applications. However, it's recommended to consult the datasheet and perform simulations to determine the optimal value for your specific use case.
While the datasheet specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, it's recommended to derate the device's performance at high temperatures. For reliable operation, it's recommended to keep the ambient temperature below 100°C to ensure the device's internal junction temperature remains within safe limits.
To ensure low dropout operation, the device's input voltage should be at least 2.5V higher than the output voltage. Additionally, the bias pin should be connected to a stable voltage source, such as the input voltage or a voltage regulator output, to ensure the device is properly biased.
The output capacitor value and type depend on the output voltage ripple and the desired transient response. A general rule of thumb is to choose a capacitor with a value of at least 10uF to 22uF and a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) type, such as an X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor.
