A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the input and output capacitors close to the IC, and use short, wide traces for the power lines.
Ensure the output capacitor has a low ESR, and the input capacitor has a high capacitance. Also, add a 1-2nF capacitor between the VCC and GND pins to filter high-frequency noise.
The maximum input voltage is 18V, but it's recommended to keep it below 15V for optimal performance and reliability.
The TPS51225BRUKT is rated for operation up to 125°C, but thermal derating is required above 85°C. Ensure proper heat sinking and thermal management to prevent overheating.
Use the formulas provided in the datasheet to calculate the output voltage and current limits based on the input voltage, output capacitor value, and desired output voltage.
