Wolfspeed recommends a 4-layer PCB with a thermal via array under the device to dissipate heat. A thermal pad on the bottom of the device should be connected to a large copper area on the PCB to improve heat sinking. Additionally, a low-thermal-resistance interface material (e.g., thermal tape or thermal grease) should be used between the device and the heat sink.
To prevent oscillation, ensure that the device is properly biased and that the input and output impedances are matched. Use a high-quality, low-loss PCB material and keep the layout as symmetrical as possible. Additionally, use a sufficient number of decoupling capacitors and ensure that the power supply is well-regulated and low-noise.
The maximum safe operating temperature for the CGH35240F is 150°C. However, it's recommended to operate the device at a temperature below 125°C to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
Wolfspeed recommends using ESD protection devices, such as TVS diodes or ESD suppressors, on the input and output lines to protect the device from ESD events. Additionally, handle the device with ESD-safe materials and follow proper ESD handling procedures during assembly and testing.
Store the device in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Handle the device with ESD-safe materials and avoid touching the pins or exposed die. Use a moisture barrier bag or desiccant to store the device, and avoid exposing it to temperatures above 30°C or humidity above 60%.
