ASSR-1611-301E datasheet by Avago Technologies

ASSR-1611-301E Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the ASSR-1611-301E?
  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.
• How do I ensure reliable operation of the ASSR-1611-301E in high-temperature environments?
  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.
• What are the recommended power sequencing and voltage ramp-up times for the ASSR-1611-301E?
  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.
• How do I troubleshoot issues with the ASSR-1611-301E, such as unexpected behavior or failure to function?
  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.
• Are there any specific ESD protection measures I should take when handling the ASSR-1611-301E?
  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.
