LMZ12001EXTTZ/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the input and output capacitors close to the device and use short, wide traces for the power lines.
• How do I ensure the device operates within the recommended operating conditions?
  Monitor the input voltage, output voltage, and output current to ensure they are within the recommended operating ranges. Also, ensure the device is operated within the recommended temperature range.
• What is the recommended input capacitor type and value?
  A low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10uF to 22uF is recommended. The capacitor should be placed close to the VIN pin and have a low impedance path to the device.
• How do I minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in my design?
  Use a shielded enclosure, keep the device and associated components away from antennas and other EMI-sensitive components, and use a common-mode choke or ferrite bead on the input lines.
• What is the recommended output capacitor type and value?
  A low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10uF to 22uF is recommended. The capacitor should be placed close to the VOUT pin and have a low impedance path to the device.
