BQ24230RGTT datasheet by Texas Instruments

BQ24230RGTT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the BQ24230RGTT to ensure optimal performance?
  A good PCB layout for the BQ24230RGTT involves placing the input capacitors close to the VIN pin, using a solid ground plane, and keeping the high-current paths short and wide. TI provides a recommended layout in the datasheet and application notes.
• How do I select the right inductor value for my application?
  The inductor value depends on the input voltage, output voltage, and maximum current. TI provides an inductor selection guide in the datasheet, and online tools like the TI Power Designer can help with inductor selection.
• What is the maximum ambient temperature range for the BQ24230RGTT?
  The BQ24230RGTT is rated for operation from -40°C to 85°C. However, the device can be derated for operation up to 105°C with reduced output current.
• How do I implement overvoltage protection (OVP) with the BQ24230RGTT?
  The BQ24230RGTT has a built-in OVP feature that can be enabled by connecting the OVP pin to a resistor divider network. The OVP threshold is set by the resistor values, and the device will shut down if the output voltage exceeds the set threshold.
• Can I use the BQ24230RGTT in a high-reliability or automotive application?
  Yes, the BQ24230RGTT is AEC-Q100 qualified and suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. However, additional testing and validation may be required to meet specific industry standards.
