A good PCB layout for the TPS61165DRVT involves placing the input and output capacitors close to the IC, using a solid ground plane, and keeping the high-current paths short and wide. TI provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet and application notes.
Choose input capacitors with low ESR and high ripple current rating. For output capacitors, choose ones with low ESR and high capacitance. The datasheet provides guidelines for capacitor selection, and TI's capacitor selection tool can also be used.
The TPS61165DRVT is rated for operation from -40°C to 125°C. However, the maximum ambient temperature range depends on the specific application and the device's power dissipation. Consult the datasheet and thermal design guidelines for more information.
Yes, the TPS61165DRVT is qualified for automotive and high-reliability applications. It meets the requirements of the AEC-Q100 standard and is suitable for use in harsh environments.
To troubleshoot issues with the TPS61165DRVT, check the PCB layout, component selection, and input/output voltage levels. Consult the datasheet, application notes, and TI's technical support resources for guidance on troubleshooting and debugging.
