A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias is recommended. Ensure a minimum of 1 oz copper thickness and a thermal relief pattern under the device.
Implement a robust thermal management system, including a heat sink and thermal interface material. Ensure good airflow and avoid thermal hotspots.
The power-up sequence should follow the recommended timing diagram in the datasheet. Ensure a minimum of 10 ms delay between VCC and VIO power-up, and a maximum of 100 ms delay between VIO and VCC power-down.
Use the device's power-down modes, such as the 'Sleep' mode, and optimize the clock frequency and voltage settings. Implement a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) scheme to minimize power consumption.
Implement ESD protection diodes on all input/output pins, and ensure a minimum of 1 kΩ series resistance on all input signals. Use a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode on the power supply lines.
