Instructions for Use

1. Power Supply Connection:

   • Connect the VDD pin to the power supply within the operating voltage range (2.7V to 5.5V).
   • Ensure a stable and clean power supply to avoid voltage fluctuations.

2. Input Connection:

   • Connect the input voltage (VIN) to the input pin. The input voltage should be within the specified range (0V to 28V).
   • Use appropriate input filtering capacitors (e.g., 10μF ceramic) to stabilize the input voltage.

3. Output Connection:

   • Connect the output voltage (VOUT) to the load.
   • Use an output capacitor (e.g., 10μF ceramic) to filter the output and ensure stability.

4. Ground Connection:

   • Ensure a common ground connection between the input, output, and power supply.

5. Thermal Management:

   • Monitor the device temperature to prevent it from exceeding the thermal shutdown threshold (160°C).
   • Use a heatsink or adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation if necessary.

6. Protection:

   • The device includes overcurrent, short-circuit, and thermal protection features. These will activate automatically if the device detects a fault condition.
   • Reset the device by removing and reapplying the input voltage after a fault condition.

7. Layout Considerations:

   • Place the device close to the load to minimize trace inductance and improve performance.
   • Use wide, short traces for power and ground connections to reduce resistance and inductance.

8. Storage and Handling:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture damage.
   • Handle the device with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the internal components.

By following these instructions, you can ensure optimal performance and reliability of the FSUSB20L10X.
