TPIC2603DW datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPIC2603DW Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current rating of the TPIC2603DW?
  The maximum current rating of the TPIC2603DW is 1.5A per channel, with a total current rating of 3A for all three channels combined.
• How do I ensure safe operating area (SOA) compliance with the TPIC2603DW?
  To ensure SOA compliance, ensure that the device operates within the recommended voltage and current ratings, and that the thermal design is adequate to keep the junction temperature below 150°C.
• What is the purpose of the enable pin (EN) on the TPIC2603DW?
  The enable pin (EN) is used to enable or disable the device. When EN is high, the device is enabled, and when EN is low, the device is disabled and all outputs are turned off.
• How do I handle thermal management for the TPIC2603DW?
  Thermal management is critical for the TPIC2603DW. Ensure good thermal conductivity between the device and the PCB, use thermal vias, and consider using a heat sink or thermal pad to keep the junction temperature below 150°C.
• What is the recommended PCB layout for the TPIC2603DW?
  The recommended PCB layout for the TPIC2603DW includes using a solid ground plane, keeping the power traces short and wide, and using a decoupling capacitor between the VIN and GND pins.
