STMicroelectronics provides a recommended PCB layout in the application note AN5323, which includes guidelines for thermal vias, copper pours, and component placement to ensure optimal thermal performance.
The datasheet provides a list of recommended external components, including capacitors, resistors, and inductors. Additionally, STMicroelectronics offers a dedicated design tool, the STMicroelectronics Power Supply Design Tool, which helps engineers select the optimal external components for their specific application.
The TDE0160FP has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C, but the maximum junction temperature (TJ) is 150°C. Engineers should ensure that the device is operated within the recommended temperature range to ensure reliability and performance.
The TDE0160FP has a built-in overcurrent protection feature. Engineers can implement overcurrent protection by connecting a sense resistor to the CS pin and configuring the OCP threshold using the OTP (One-Time Programmable) memory. The application note AN5323 provides more details on implementing overcurrent protection.
The recommended startup sequence for the TDE0160FP is to first apply the input voltage (VIN) and then the enable signal (EN). This ensures that the device is properly initialized and configured before starting operation.
