A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias is recommended. Ensure a minimum of 1mm clearance around the device for airflow and heat dissipation. Use thermal tape or a heat sink for high-power applications.
Use the device's power-down mode, reduce the clock frequency, and minimize the number of active circuits. Consider using a low-dropout regulator (LDO) to reduce power consumption further.
Handle the device in an ESD-protected environment, use anti-static wrist straps and mats, and store the device in anti-static packaging. Follow the JEDEC standard for ESD handling and protection.
Yes, but ensure compliance with relevant industry standards (e.g., DO-160, MIL-STD-883) and perform thorough testing and validation. Consult with Broadcom Limited for specific guidance and support.
Perform functional testing, parametric testing, and environmental testing (e.g., temperature, humidity, vibration) according to the device's datasheet and relevant industry standards.
