A 2-layer or 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias is recommended. Ensure a minimum of 1 oz copper thickness and a thermal relief pattern around the device.
Implement a heat sink or thermal interface material, and ensure good airflow. Monitor the device's junction temperature (Tj) and adjust the thermal design accordingly.
Exceeding Tj can lead to reduced lifespan, decreased performance, and potential device failure. Ensure the device operates within the recommended temperature range (–40°C to 150°C) to maintain reliability.
Yes, but ensure the device is properly secured to the PCB using a suitable adhesive or mechanical fastening method. Vibration testing may be necessary to validate the design.
Implement ESD protection measures during handling, storage, and assembly. Use ESD-safe materials, and follow proper grounding and shielding practices to prevent damage.
