Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also important to follow general guidelines for switching regulator layout, such as keeping the input and output capacitors close to the IC, and using a solid ground plane to reduce noise and EMI.
The selection of the inductor depends on the output current, switching frequency, and output voltage ripple requirements. TI provides an inductor selection guide in the datasheet, and online tools such as the TI Inductor Selection Tool can also be used to find a suitable inductor.
The maximum input voltage rating for the TPS61060YZFT is 18V, but it's recommended to derate the input voltage to 15V to ensure reliable operation and to prevent damage to the IC.
The output voltage of the TPS61060YZFT can be adjusted by changing the resistor divider ratio between the VOUT pin and the GND pin. The datasheet provides a formula to calculate the required resistor values for a specific output voltage.
The TPS61060YZFT has a thermal derating of 2.5mW/°C above 25°C, which means that the maximum power dissipation decreases as the temperature increases. This should be taken into account when designing the thermal management of the system.
