STMicroelectronics recommends a 2-layer PCB with a solid ground plane on the bottom layer and a thermal relief pattern on the top layer to ensure optimal thermal performance.
To ensure reliable operation at high temperatures, it is recommended to derate the power dissipation according to the temperature derating curve provided in the datasheet, and to ensure good thermal conduction between the device and the heat sink.
The maximum allowed voltage on the input pins is 5.5V, exceeding which may cause permanent damage to the device.
To protect the device from ESD and overvoltage, it is recommended to use external ESD protection diodes and overvoltage protection circuits, such as TVS diodes and zener diodes, respectively.
The recommended operating frequency range for the LDK130M15R is 100 kHz to 1 MHz, although it can operate up to 2 MHz with reduced performance.
