A good PCB layout practice is to keep the analog and digital grounds separate, use a solid ground plane, and keep the high-frequency signals away from the analog signals. Additionally, use a common-mode choke or a ferrite bead to filter the power supply lines.
To ensure proper power-up and power-down, follow the recommended power-up sequence: VCC, then VDD, and finally EN. For power-down, follow the reverse sequence. Also, ensure that the input voltage ramps up and down slowly to prevent latch-up.
The maximum allowable voltage on the EN pin is VCC + 0.3V. Exceeding this voltage may damage the device.
The thermal shutdown feature is activated when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. To handle this, ensure good thermal design, use a heat sink if necessary, and implement a thermal monitoring system to detect and respond to thermal shutdown events.
The recommended input capacitance is 10nF to 100nF, depending on the specific application requirements. A larger capacitance can help filter out high-frequency noise, but may increase the startup time.
