The recommended layout and placement for the TPS3836K33DBVR involves placing the device close to the power source, using a solid ground plane, and keeping the input and output capacitors close to the device. Additionally, it is recommended to use a low-ESR capacitor for the output capacitor and to minimize the distance between the device and the load.
When choosing an output capacitor for the TPS3836K33DBVR, consider the capacitance value, equivalent series resistance (ESR), and voltage rating. A general rule of thumb is to use a capacitor with a capacitance value of at least 10uF, an ESR of less than 100mΩ, and a voltage rating that exceeds the output voltage of the device.
The TPS3836K33DBVR can handle input voltages up to 6V, but it is recommended to operate the device within the specified input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V for optimal performance and reliability.
The TPS3836K33DBVR has a built-in overcurrent protection feature that limits the output current to a maximum of 1.5A. To implement overcurrent protection, connect a sense resistor in series with the output and use the EN pin to enable or disable the device based on the current limit.
The thermal derating curve for the TPS3836K33DBVR is not explicitly stated in the datasheet, but it can be estimated based on the device's power dissipation and thermal resistance. As a general guideline, the device's output current should be derated by 50% for every 10°C increase in ambient temperature above 25°C.
