Broadcom recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and to keep the signal traces as short as possible. A good layout should also minimize the number of vias and avoid routing signals under the device.
To ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments, it is recommended to follow proper thermal design guidelines, such as providing adequate heat sinking and airflow, and to operate the device within its specified temperature range.
The recommended power sequencing is to power up the device's VCC and AVCC pins simultaneously, and to ramp up the voltage slowly (e.g., 1-2 ms) to prevent damage to the device.
To troubleshoot issues with the ASSR-1611-301E, start by verifying the power supply and clock signals, then check the device's configuration and programming. If the issue persists, consult the datasheet and application notes, or contact Broadcom support for further assistance.
Yes, it is recommended to follow standard ESD protection measures when handling the ASSR-1611-301E, such as using an ESD wrist strap or mat, and storing the device in an anti-static bag or container.
