A thermal pad is recommended under the package to improve heat dissipation. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness and a thermal relief pattern are also recommended.
Ensure that the device is operated within the recommended temperature range (Ta=-40°C to 150°C). Use a heat sink or thermal interface material to reduce thermal resistance. Monitor the device's junction temperature (Tj) to prevent overheating.
A reflow soldering profile with a peak temperature of 260°C and a dwell time of 30-60 seconds is recommended. Avoid exceeding 280°C to prevent damage to the device.
Handle the device in an ESD-protected environment. Use an anti-static wrist strap or mat, and ensure that all equipment is grounded. Avoid touching the device's pins or leads to prevent ESD damage.
Store the device in a dry, cool place (Ta=5°C to 30°C, RH<60%). Avoid exposing the device to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
