STMicroelectronics recommends a 2-layer or 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a thermal relief pattern under the device to ensure optimal thermal performance.
To ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments, it is recommended to derate the device's power dissipation according to the temperature derating curve provided in the datasheet, and to ensure good thermal conduction to the PCB and heat sink.
STMicroelectronics recommends using a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10uF to 22uF, depending on the specific application requirements, to ensure optimal performance and stability.
To troubleshoot oscillations or instability issues, check the PCB layout for proper decoupling, ensure that the input and output capacitors are properly sized and placed, and verify that the device is operated within its recommended operating conditions.
STMicroelectronics recommends using a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10uF to 47uF, depending on the specific application requirements, to ensure optimal performance and stability.
