KF25BDT datasheet by STMicroelectronics

KF25BDT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the KF25BDT?
  STMicroelectronics provides a recommended PCB layout in the application note AN5323, which includes guidelines for component placement, routing, and thermal management to ensure optimal performance and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• How do I ensure the KF25BDT is properly powered and decoupled?
  The KF25BDT requires a stable power supply with adequate decoupling capacitors to ensure proper operation. A minimum of 100nF ceramic capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VDD pin, and additional bulk capacitors can be added to filter out noise and ripple.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the KF25BDT?
  The KF25BDT is rated for operation from -40°C to 125°C, but the maximum junction temperature (TJ) should not exceed 150°C. It's essential to ensure proper thermal management, such as using a heat sink or thermal pad, to prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation.
• How do I configure the KF25BDT for low-power mode?
  The KF25BDT has a low-power mode that can be enabled by setting the EN pin low. Additionally, the device can be configured for ultra-low power mode by setting the VDDIO pin to 1.8V and using the internal voltage regulator. Refer to the datasheet for specific configuration details.
• What is the recommended clock frequency for the KF25BDT?
  The KF25BDT can operate at clock frequencies up to 32 kHz, but the recommended frequency is 16 kHz for optimal performance and power consumption. Higher clock frequencies may increase power consumption and reduce the device's overall performance.
