NXP recommends a thermal pad on the bottom of the device, connected to a large copper area on the PCB to dissipate heat. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness is recommended, and the thermal pad should be connected to a ground plane to reduce thermal resistance.
To ensure reliable operation at high temperatures, it's essential to follow the recommended thermal design guidelines, including proper heat sinking, thermal interface materials, and adequate airflow. Additionally, consider derating the device's power dissipation and voltage ratings according to the temperature derating curves provided in the datasheet.
Although the datasheet specifies the recommended operating voltage range, it's essential to note that the maximum allowed voltage on the input pins is typically 5.5V, regardless of the operating voltage. Exceeding this voltage may damage the device.
NXP recommends implementing ESD protection measures, such as using ESD diodes or TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) devices, to protect the PDTC143ZM,315 from electrostatic discharge. The device itself has some level of ESD protection, but additional measures are recommended to ensure robustness.
The recommended storage temperature range for the PDTC143ZM,315 is -40°C to 125°C. Storing the device outside this range may affect its reliability or cause damage.
