Aimtec recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane, minimal thermal resistance, and a heat sink with a thermal resistance of 10°C/W or less. A thermal pad or thermal interface material can be used to improve heat transfer.
To ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments, ensure that the device is operated within the recommended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), and consider using a heat sink or thermal management system to keep the junction temperature below 125°C.
Aimtec recommends derating the input voltage by 10% to ensure reliable operation and to prevent overvoltage stress on the device.
The AM6TW-2405SZ is not hermetically sealed, so it's not recommended for use in high-humidity environments. If operation in high humidity is required, consider using a conformal coating or potting the device to protect it from moisture.
Aimtec recommends using a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10uF to 22uF, rated for the input voltage, to ensure stable operation and minimize input ripple.
