Instructions for Use:

1. Input Capacitor (CIN):

   • Use a ceramic capacitor with X7R or better dielectric.
   • Place as close to the input pins as possible.
   • Recommended value: 10 μF.

2. Output Capacitor (COUT):

   • Use a low ESR ceramic capacitor.
   • Place as close to the output pins as possible.
   • Recommended value: 10 μF.

3. Inductor (L):

   • Choose an inductor with a saturation current rating higher than the maximum output current.
   • Recommended value: 4.7 μH.

4. Feedback Resistor (RFB):

   • Set the output voltage using the feedback resistor network.
   • For 5V output, use a standard resistor value pair.

5. Bootstrap Capacitor (CB):

   • Connect between the BST and SW pins.
   • Recommended value: 0.1 μF ceramic.

6. Thermal Management:

   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation, especially at high output currents.
   • Use a heatsink if necessary.

7. Layout Considerations:

   • Keep high-current paths short and wide.
   • Use ground planes to reduce noise and improve thermal performance.

8. Start-Up Time:

   • The device will start up when the input voltage exceeds the UVLO threshold.
   • Typical start-up time is less than 1 ms.

9. Short-Circuit Protection:

   • The device has built-in short-circuit protection that limits the output current and cycles the switch off until the fault condition is removed.

10. Thermal Shutdown:

    • The device will shut down if the junction temperature exceeds 160°C.
    • It will automatically restart once the temperature drops below the hysteresis point.
