T1050H-6T datasheet by STMicroelectronics

T1050H-6T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  STMicroelectronics provides a recommended PCB layout in their application note AN4979, which includes guidelines for thermal pad connection, thermal vias, and copper pouring to ensure optimal thermal performance.
• How do I handle the thermal shutdown feature during power-up?
  The thermal shutdown feature is enabled by default. To handle it during power-up, ensure that the VCC pin is ramped up slowly (typically 10-20 ms) to allow the internal voltage regulator to stabilize before the thermal shutdown threshold is reached.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage on the VCC pin during power-down?
  Although the datasheet specifies a maximum VCC voltage of 5.5V, it's recommended to limit the voltage to 4.5V during power-down to prevent damage to the internal voltage regulator.
• How do I implement overcurrent protection for the T1050H-6T?
  STMicroelectronics recommends using an external overcurrent protection circuit, such as a fuse or a dedicated overcurrent protection IC, to prevent damage to the device in case of excessive current draw.
• What is the recommended ESD protection for the T1050H-6T?
  STMicroelectronics recommends using a human-body model (HBM) ESD protection circuit with a minimum rating of 2 kV to prevent damage to the device during handling and assembly.
