Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the TSC2200IPWRG4 datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow the guidelines in the TI application note 'AN-1187 PCB Layout Guidelines for Switching Regulators' for optimal performance and thermal management.
The selection of the inductor depends on the output current, output voltage, and switching frequency. TI provides an inductor selection guide in the datasheet, but you can also use online inductor selection tools or consult with inductor manufacturers to find the right inductor for your specific application.
The maximum ambient temperature for the TSC2200IPWRG4 is 85°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and voltage at higher temperatures to ensure reliable operation. Consult the datasheet for thermal derating curves and guidelines.
The TSC2200IPWRG4 is an industrial-grade regulator, but it's not specifically designed for high-reliability or automotive applications. For such applications, you may need to consider regulators with higher reliability ratings, such as those with AEC-Q100 qualification or MIL-STD-883 compliance.
TI provides troubleshooting guidelines in the datasheet and application notes, but you can also use online resources, such as the TI E2E forum, to seek help from experts and other users who have experienced similar issues. Additionally, consider using simulation tools, such as SPICE models, to simulate and analyze the regulator's behavior.
