A 2-layer or 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, thermal interface material, and a cooling fan if necessary. Monitor junction temperature and adjust the system design accordingly.
Monitor the device's junction temperature, output voltage, and current. Implement over-temperature protection, over-voltage protection, and over-current protection to prevent damage.
Use the device's low-power modes, adjust the switching frequency, and optimize the output voltage. Implement power-saving features like dynamic voltage scaling and clock gating.
Implement ESD protection diodes, use a grounded metal can or shield, and ensure a low-impedance path to ground. Follow proper handling and storage procedures to prevent ESD damage.
