Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow general guidelines for switching regulator layout, such as keeping the input and output capacitors close to the IC, and using a solid ground plane to reduce noise and EMI.
The selection of the inductor depends on the specific requirements of your application, such as the output current, switching frequency, and physical size constraints. Texas Instruments provides a list of recommended inductors in the datasheet, but you may also need to consider factors such as inductor core material, saturation current, and DC resistance.
The LM8364BALMF20 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the maximum ambient temperature depends on the specific application and the thermal design of the system. You should ensure that the IC is properly heat-sinked and that the system is designed to operate within the recommended temperature range.
Yes, the LM8364BALMF20 is qualified for automotive and high-reliability applications, and meets the requirements of the AEC-Q100 standard. However, you should ensure that the specific requirements of your application are met, and that the IC is properly qualified and validated for use in your system.
Troubleshooting issues with the LM8364BALMF20 typically involves checking the PCB layout, component selection, and system design. You should also consult the datasheet and application notes, and use tools such as oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers to diagnose the issue. Texas Instruments also provides technical support and resources to help with troubleshooting.
