A 2-layer or 4-layer PCB with a thermal relief pattern and a solid ground plane is recommended for optimal thermal performance. Ensure a minimum of 1mm clearance around the device for airflow.
Apply a conformal coating to the PCB, ensure proper PCB cleaning and drying, and consider using a moisture-resistant package or coating for the device. Follow IPC-J-STD-001 guidelines for moisture-sensitive devices.
Use a reflow soldering process with a peak temperature of 240°C (max) and a dwell time of 30-60 seconds. Ensure a soldering iron temperature of 350°C (max) and a soldering time of 3 seconds (max) for hand soldering.
Use an ESD-protected workstation, wear an ESD strap, and handle the device by the body or pins, avoiding direct contact with the die. Use ESD-protective packaging and follow ANSI/ESD S20.20 guidelines.
Store the device in its original packaging, in a dry, cool place (20°C to 30°C, 60% RH max). Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
