AEIC-2631-S16 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout and thermal management for optimal performance?
  A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias is recommended. Ensure a minimum of 1mm clearance around the device for airflow and heat dissipation.
• How do I optimize the device's power consumption for low-power applications?
  Use the device's power-down modes, adjust the clock frequency, and optimize the voltage regulator module (VRM) settings to minimize power consumption.
• What are the recommended settings for the device's internal voltage regulators?
  The recommended settings are: VCC = 1.2V, VDD = 1.8V, and VIO = 3.3V. However, these values may vary depending on the specific application and requirements.
• How do I troubleshoot issues with the device's high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, SATA)?
  Use signal integrity analysis tools, such as oscilloscopes and signal generators, to verify signal quality and integrity. Also, check the device's configuration and settings to ensure correct operation.
• What are the thermal design considerations for the device, especially in high-temperature environments?
  Ensure good airflow, use thermal interface materials (TIMs) for heat sinks, and consider using heat pipes or fans for extreme temperature environments.
