A good PCB layout for the PDS3100-13 involves keeping the input and output traces short and wide, using a solid ground plane, and placing the device close to the power source. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 10uF capacitor between the VIN and GND pins to filter out noise.
To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended component values and PCB layout guidelines. Additionally, add a 10nF capacitor between the FB and GND pins to improve stability. Also, ensure that the output capacitor is of high quality and has a low ESR.
The PDS3100-13 can handle a maximum input voltage of 18V. However, it's recommended to operate the device within the specified input voltage range of 4.5V to 15V for optimal performance and reliability.
The PDS3100-13 is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, it's recommended to derate the output current and input voltage at higher temperatures to ensure reliable operation. Consult the datasheet for more information on thermal derating.
The output voltage of the PDS3100-13 can be calculated using the formula: VOUT = 0.8V x (1 + R1/R2), where R1 and R2 are the resistors connected to the FB pin. The output voltage range is 0.8V to 15V.
