Diodes Incorporated recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane, minimal thermal vias, and a heat sink attached to the exposed pad for optimal thermal performance.
To ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments, it's essential to follow the recommended operating temperature range, use a heat sink, and ensure good thermal conductivity between the device and the heat sink.
The DDA114EK-7-F has built-in ESD protection, but it's still recommended to follow standard ESD handling precautions, such as using an ESD wrist strap, mat, or workstation, and storing the devices in anti-static packaging.
The DDA114EK-7-F is not hermetically sealed, so it's not recommended for use in high-humidity environments. If exposure to moisture is unavoidable, consider using a conformal coating or potting compound to protect the device.
Diodes Incorporated recommends a soldering profile with a peak temperature of 260°C (500°F) for a maximum of 10 seconds, and a soldering iron temperature of 350°C (662°F) for a maximum of 3 seconds.
