A 2-layer or 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias under the device is recommended for optimal thermal performance. The thermal pad should be connected to a large copper area to dissipate heat efficiently.
-
Ensure that the device is operated within the recommended temperature range (TJ = -40°C to 150°C). Use a heat sink or thermal interface material to improve heat dissipation. Also, consider derating the device's power dissipation at high temperatures.
-
A 10uF to 22uF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor is recommended for the input capacitor. The capacitor should be placed as close to the device as possible to minimize parasitic inductance.
-
Use a shielded inductor, keep the layout compact, and minimize loop areas. Also, consider adding a common-mode choke and a filter capacitor to reduce EMI emissions.
