A thermal pad is recommended to be connected to a large copper area on the PCB to dissipate heat efficiently. The copper area should be at least 1 inch x 1 inch in size and should be connected to a solid ground plane to minimize thermal resistance.
To prevent damage during soldering, the device should be exposed to a maximum temperature of 260°C for no more than 10 seconds. A soldering iron with a temperature of 350°C should be used, and the soldering time should be minimized to prevent thermal damage.
A 10uF to 22uF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended for input decoupling. The capacitor should be placed as close to the VIN pin as possible to minimize noise and ensure stable operation.
The device should be operated within the recommended operating conditions specified in the datasheet, including input voltage, output current, and ambient temperature. Exceeding these conditions can reduce the device's reliability and lifespan.
A 10uF to 22uF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended for output filtering. The capacitor should be placed as close to the VOUT pin as possible to minimize noise and ensure stable operation.
