A good PCB layout for the TPS51362RVER involves placing the input and output capacitors close to the device, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the input and output traces. TI provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet and application notes.
Choose input capacitors with low ESR and high ripple current rating. For output capacitors, choose ones with low ESR and high capacitance. The datasheet provides guidelines for capacitor selection, and TI's capacitor selection tool can also be used.
The TPS51362RVER is rated for operation from -40°C to 125°C. However, the device's performance and reliability may degrade at extreme temperatures. It's essential to consider the thermal design and heat sinking requirements for the specific application.
Yes, the TPS51362RVER is AEC-Q100 qualified and suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. However, it's essential to follow the recommended design and layout guidelines, and to consult with TI's application engineers for specific requirements.
Start by checking the PCB layout, input and output capacitor selection, and thermal design. Use oscilloscopes and thermal imaging cameras to identify issues. Consult the datasheet, application notes, and TI's support resources for troubleshooting guides and FAQs.
