A thermal pad is recommended under the package to improve thermal performance. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness and a thermal relief pattern are recommended for optimal heat dissipation.
The AO6601 requires a bias voltage of 5V to 12V on the VCC pin, and a bias current of 10mA to 50mA on the VIN pin. Ensure the input voltage is within the recommended range and the output voltage is properly regulated.
The maximum allowed power dissipation for the AO6601 is 2.5W. Ensure the device is operated within the recommended temperature range and the thermal design is optimized to prevent overheating.
Use a voltage regulator or a zener diode to protect the AO6601 from overvoltage. Add a current-limiting resistor or a fuse to prevent overcurrent. Ensure the input voltage is within the recommended range and the output current is within the specified limits.
The AO6601 is designed to operate at frequencies up to 1MHz. However, the optimal operating frequency range is between 100kHz to 500kHz for most applications.
