turns on at a defined voltage level, and draws a consistent

If the inrush current is higher than the steady state input
current during max load, then an input fuse should be rated
accordingly using I

Layout Considerations
As in any high frequency switching regulator, layout is
very important. Switching current from one power device to
another can generate voltage transients across the
impedances of the interconnecting bond wires and circuit
traces. The interconnecting impedances should be
minimized by using wide short printed circuit traces. The
critical components should be located as close together as
possible using ground plane construction or single point
grounding. For optimal performance, the NCP3126 should
have a layout similar to the one shown in Figure 30. An
important note is that the input voltage to the NCP3126
should have local decoupling to PGND. The recommended
decoupling for input voltage is a 1 mF general purpose
ceramic capacitor and a 0.01 mF COG ceramic capacitor
placed in parallel.
