A 2-layer or 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias is recommended. Ensure a minimum of 1 oz copper thickness and a thermal relief pattern around the device.
Implement a robust thermal management system, including a heat sink, thermal interface material, and a cooling fan if necessary. Monitor the device's junction temperature and adjust the system design accordingly.
Use X7R or X5R ceramic capacitors with a voltage rating of 10V or higher. For input capacitors, use 10uF to 22uF values, and for output capacitors, use 10uF to 47uF values.
Use a shielded enclosure, keep the device and its components away from the PCB edge, and use a common-mode choke or ferrite bead on the input lines. Ensure proper grounding and decoupling of the device.
Apply the input voltage first, followed by the enable signal. Ensure the input voltage is stable before applying the enable signal. A soft-start circuit can be used to reduce inrush current.
