Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but for optimal thermal performance, it's recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and to place thermal vias under the device to dissipate heat efficiently.
To ensure proper power-up and configuration, follow the recommended power-up sequence in the datasheet, and use a reset circuit to hold the device in reset until the power supplies are stable. Also, ensure that the configuration pins are properly terminated and driven during startup.
Operating the device beyond the recommended operating conditions can lead to reduced reliability, increased power consumption, and potential damage to the device. It's recommended to operate the device within the specified operating conditions to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
To troubleshoot issues with the device, start by reviewing the datasheet and application notes to ensure proper configuration and operation. Use oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to debug the device's behavior, and consult Texas Instruments' support resources, such as the E2E forum, for guidance and assistance.
To ensure EMC and EMI compliance, follow proper PCB layout and design practices, such as using shielding, filtering, and grounding techniques. Also, ensure that the device is properly decoupled and that the power supplies are well-regulated to minimize noise and interference.
