A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the input and output traces short and away from each other to minimize noise and crosstalk.
Ensure that the output capacitor is properly sized and placed close to the output pin. Also, add a 10nF-100nF capacitor between the VCC and GND pins to filter out noise.
The maximum input voltage is 6.5V, but it's recommended to keep it below 5.5V to ensure reliable operation and prevent damage to the device.
The output voltage ripple can be calculated using the formula: ΔVout = (Iout * ESL) / (Cout * fsw), where ESL is the equivalent series inductance of the output capacitor, Cout is the output capacitance, and fsw is the switching frequency.
A 10uF-22uF ceramic or X5R/X7R capacitor is recommended for the input capacitor, placed as close to the VIN pin as possible.
