A thermal pad is recommended under the package to improve heat dissipation. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness and a thermal relief pattern on the PCB are also recommended.
Ensure proper heat sinking, use a thermal interface material (TIM) between the device and heat sink, and follow the recommended operating conditions and derating guidelines.
The maximum allowed voltage on the input pins is 5.5V, which is higher than the recommended operating voltage of 5V. However, exceeding 5.5V can cause permanent damage to the device.
Yes, but be aware that the device has a limited switching frequency capability. The maximum recommended switching frequency is 100 kHz. Exceeding this frequency may cause increased power losses and reduced reliability.
Use ESD protection devices, such as TVS diodes or ESD arrays, on the input and output pins to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge. Follow proper handling and storage procedures to minimize ESD exposure.
