A good PCB layout for the TPS61165DRVRG4 involves placing the input and output capacitors close to the device, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the loop area of the power traces to reduce EMI. TI provides a recommended layout in the datasheet and application notes.
When selecting an inductor for the TPS61165DRVRG4, consider the inductor's value, saturation current, and DC resistance. A good starting point is to use an inductor with a value between 1.5 μH and 3.3 μH, and a saturation current rating above the peak current of the converter. TI provides a list of recommended inductors in the datasheet.
The TPS61165DRVRG4 is rated for operation from -40°C to 125°C, but the maximum ambient temperature range depends on the specific application and the device's power dissipation. Consult the datasheet and thermal design guidelines for more information.
The TPS61165DRVRG4 has a built-in overcurrent protection feature that can be enabled by connecting a resistor between the OCSET pin and GND. The value of the resistor determines the overcurrent threshold. Consult the datasheet for more information on how to set the overcurrent threshold.
Yes, the TPS61165DRVRG4 is qualified for automotive and high-reliability applications. It meets the requirements of the AEC-Q100 standard and is manufactured using a qualified process. Consult the datasheet and TI's quality and reliability documentation for more information.
