Tusonix recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and a separate power plane for the VCC and VEE supplies. Additionally, keep the input and output traces as short as possible and avoid crossing them over each other.
Tusonix recommends using a heat sink with a thermal resistance of less than 10°C/W, and ensuring good airflow around the device. Also, derate the power supply voltage by 1% for every 10°C above 25°C to prevent overheating.
The maximum allowable voltage on the input pins is 5.5V, which is the absolute maximum rating. However, for reliable operation, it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 5V to prevent damage to the internal ESD protection diodes.
Yes, the 4201-502 can be used in switching power supply applications, but it's essential to ensure that the input voltage is well-filtered and the device is properly bypassed to prevent high-frequency noise from affecting its operation.
Tusonix recommends using a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 270°C, and a solder with a melting point of 180°C to 200°C. Avoid applying excessive heat or force, which can damage the device or its pins.
