TPS65216D0RSLR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS65216D0RSLR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the TPS65216D0RSLR to ensure optimal performance?
  A good PCB layout for the TPS65216D0RSLR involves placing the input capacitors close to the VIN pin, using a solid ground plane, and keeping the high-current paths short and wide. TI provides a recommended layout in the datasheet and application notes.
• How do I choose the right output voltage for my application?
  The output voltage of the TPS65216D0RSLR can be set using the FB pin and an external resistor divider network. The output voltage range is 0.9V to 3.3V. Choose a voltage that meets the requirements of your load, and use the datasheet equations to calculate the resistor values.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the TPS65216D0RSLR can handle?
  The TPS65216D0RSLR can handle input voltages up to 17V, but the recommended maximum input voltage is 15V to ensure reliable operation and minimize power dissipation.
• How do I ensure the TPS65216D0RSLR is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Also, place the output capacitor close to the VOUT pin, and use a low-ESR capacitor to minimize voltage ripple.
• Can I use the TPS65216D0RSLR in a high-temperature environment?
  The TPS65216D0RSLR is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the maximum junction temperature (TJ) should not exceed 150°C. Ensure good thermal design and heat sinking to keep the device within its operating temperature range.
