The recommended PCB footprint for the IHLP3232CZER220M11 is a rectangular pad with a length of 3.3 mm, a width of 2.5 mm, and a thickness of 0.5 mm. The pad should have a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) shape to ensure proper soldering.
The IHLP3232CZER220M11 has a maximum operating temperature of 125°C. To handle thermal derating, ensure that the inductor is operated within the recommended temperature range, and consider using a heat sink or thermal interface material to reduce the temperature rise.
The SRF of the IHLP3232CZER220M11 is not explicitly stated in the datasheet, but it can be estimated using the inductor's inductance and capacitance values. Typically, the SRF is around 100-200 MHz for this inductor.
While the IHLP3232CZER220M11 is designed for high-frequency applications, its performance may degrade above 100 MHz due to skin effect and proximity effect losses. For frequencies above 100 MHz, consider using a specialized high-frequency inductor or consulting with a design expert.
To ensure the IHLP3232CZER220M11's reliability, follow proper storage and handling procedures, avoid exceeding the maximum ratings, and consider using a conformal coating or potting compound to protect the inductor from environmental stresses.
