Curtis Industries recommends a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated ground plane and thermal vias to dissipate heat. A minimum of 1 oz copper thickness is recommended. Additionally, a thermal pad on the bottom of the device should be connected to a heat sink or a thermal management system.
To ensure EMC, Curtis Industries recommends following proper PCB design and layout guidelines, using shielding and filtering components, and implementing a robust grounding scheme. Additionally, the device should be placed in a metal enclosure with proper EMI shielding.
The maximum allowed voltage drop across the input and output pins is 1.5V. Exceeding this voltage drop may affect the device's performance and reliability.
The F1400AA10 is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, Curtis Industries recommends derating the device's power handling capability at high temperatures to ensure reliability. Consult the datasheet for specific derating guidelines.
Curtis Industries recommends following a systematic troubleshooting approach, including checking the power supply, input and output voltages, and thermal management. Consult the datasheet and application notes for specific troubleshooting guidelines.
