Texas Instruments provides a recommended layout and routing guide in the TPS65980RHFT Evaluation Module User's Guide (SLUUAC5). It's essential to follow this guide to ensure proper operation and minimize noise and EMI issues.
The TPS65980RHFT has a wide range of configuration options. Texas Instruments provides a Power Management Unit (PMU) Configuration Tool (SWCU126) that helps engineers configure the device for their specific application. The tool generates a configuration file that can be used to program the device.
The TPS65980RHFT can handle input voltages up to 28V, but it's recommended to limit the input voltage to 24V to ensure reliable operation and minimize stress on the device.
Texas Instruments provides a Troubleshooting Guide (SLUAAC5) that helps engineers identify and resolve common issues with the TPS65980RHFT. The guide covers topics such as power-up sequencing, voltage monitoring, and fault detection.
The TPS65980RHFT is rated for operation up to 105°C, but it's essential to ensure that the device is properly cooled and that the thermal design is adequate for the specific application. Texas Instruments provides thermal design guidelines in the datasheet and application notes.
