Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow general guidelines for low-dropout regulator (LDO) layout, such as keeping the input and output capacitors close to the device, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing trace lengths and widths.
The TPS79601DCQRG4 is stable with a wide range of output capacitors, but it's recommended to use a capacitor with an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of 0.1 ohms or less. Additionally, the output capacitor should be placed close to the device and have a low inductance path to the device.
The maximum input voltage rating of the TPS79601DCQRG4 is 13.2V, but it's recommended to operate the device within the recommended input voltage range of 2.7V to 12V for optimal performance and reliability.
The TPS79601DCQRG4 has a built-in input voltage transient protection circuit that helps to regulate the output voltage during input voltage transients. However, it's still recommended to use input capacitors with a low ESR to help filter out input voltage noise and transients.
Yes, the TPS79601DCQRG4 is AEC-Q100 qualified, which means it meets the requirements for automotive applications. However, it's still recommended to follow the specific requirements and guidelines for the target automotive application.
