A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias is recommended. Ensure a low-impedance path for the power traces and keep the switching node (SW) away from sensitive analog nodes.
Use the provided compensation network calculation tool or consult the application note AN11542 for guidance. Ensure the compensation network is optimized for the specific output voltage and load conditions.
The maximum allowed input voltage is 18V, but it's recommended to operate within the 12V to 15V range for optimal performance and reliability.
Follow the recommended PCB layout and component placement guidelines. Ensure proper shielding, filtering, and decoupling. Consult the NXP application note AN11543 for EMC design guidelines.
Use a low-ESR ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R) with a value between 4.7µF to 10µF, depending on the input voltage and output current requirements.
