Although the datasheet specifies an input voltage range of 2.5V to 6.0V, it's recommended to limit the input voltage to 5.5V or less to ensure stable operation and prevent damage to the device.
To ensure output voltage stability, it's essential to use a suitable output capacitor with a capacitance value of at least 1.0 μF and an ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of 1 Ω or less. Additionally, the output capacitor should be placed as close to the VOUT pin as possible.
The maximum output current of the S-8230BAE-I6T1U is 300 mA. However, it's recommended to limit the output current to 200 mA or less to ensure stable operation and prevent overheating.
To prevent overheating, ensure that the device is mounted on a PCB with a sufficient thermal dissipation area. The recommended thermal resistance (θja) is 60°C/W or less. Additionally, avoid placing components that generate heat near the S-8230BAE-I6T1U.
Yes, to minimize noise and ensure stable operation, it's recommended to follow a star-point connection layout for the input and output capacitors. Additionally, keep the input and output traces as short as possible and avoid routing them near noise-sensitive components.
