A thermal pad is recommended under the package to improve heat dissipation. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness and a thermal relief pattern on the PCB are also recommended.
The AO4801AL requires a bias voltage of 5V to 15V on the VCC pin, and the input voltage on the VIN pin should be within the specified range. Ensure the input voltage is stable and filtered to prevent noise and oscillations.
The maximum allowed current through the output pins is 1A per pin, with a total current limit of 2A for the entire device. Exceeding this limit may cause damage to the device.
Use a voltage regulator or a TVS diode to protect the device from overvoltage conditions. Add a current-limiting resistor or a fuse in series with the output pins to prevent overcurrent conditions.
The recommended operating temperature range for the AO4801AL is -40°C to 125°C. Operating the device outside this range may affect its performance and reliability.
