TPS3600D33PWR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS3600D33PWR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  A 2-layer or 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias is recommended. The device should be placed near a thermal pad or a heat sink to dissipate heat efficiently.
• How do I ensure the device is properly powered up and configured?
  Follow the recommended power-up sequence: VCC, then VIN, then EN. Ensure the input voltage is within the recommended range (2.7V to 5.5V) and the enable pin is properly configured (active high or active low).
• What is the maximum current rating for the output pins?
  The maximum current rating for the output pins is 1A per pin, with a total current limit of 2A for all outputs combined.
• How do I handle overvoltage protection (OVP) and undervoltage protection (UVP)?
  The TPS3600D33PWR has built-in OVP and UVP. For OVP, the device will shut down if the input voltage exceeds 6.5V. For UVP, the device will shut down if the input voltage falls below 2.2V.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type?
  A 10uF to 22uF ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R dielectric) is recommended for input decoupling, placed as close to the VIN pin as possible.
