A good PCB layout for the MP26060EQ-LF-Z should prioritize thermal dissipation. Place the device near a thermal pad or a heat sink, and ensure good airflow around the component. Use thick copper traces for the power paths and keep the layout symmetrical to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
To optimize output voltage accuracy, ensure that the input voltage is within the recommended range, and the output voltage is set using a high-precision resistor divider network. Additionally, minimize noise and ripple on the input voltage, and use a low-ESR output capacitor to reduce output voltage ripple.
A low-ESR, X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor with a value between 4.7uF to 10uF is recommended for the input capacitor. This helps to filter out input voltage noise and ripple, ensuring stable operation of the device.
To ensure stability and prevent oscillations, follow the recommended PCB layout guidelines, use a low-ESR output capacitor, and ensure that the output voltage is within the recommended range. Additionally, avoid using long, thin traces for the power paths, and minimize the distance between the device and the output capacitor.
The MP26060EQ-LF-Z is rated for operation up to 85°C ambient temperature. However, for reliable long-term operation, it is recommended to keep the ambient temperature below 70°C to minimize thermal stress and ensure optimal performance.
