A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the analog and digital sections separate, and use a common ground point for analog and digital grounds.
Use a reliable communication protocol like UART, SPI, or I2C, and ensure proper signal termination, clock synchronization, and data validation. Implement error detection and correction mechanisms, and consider using a checksum or CRC for data integrity.
The SC18IM700IPW,128 has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. Ensure good airflow, use a heat sink if necessary, and avoid blocking airflow around the device. Consider thermal interface materials and thermal vias on the PCB to improve heat dissipation.
Use an external power-on reset circuit or a dedicated reset IC to ensure a clean power-up sequence. Implement a brown-out detection circuit to detect voltage drops and reset the device if necessary. Consider using a voltage supervisor IC for this purpose.
Use ESD protection diodes or TVS diodes on the I/O lines to protect against electrostatic discharge. Ensure that the PCB design includes ESD protection features, such as ESD-resistant components and a Faraday cage around sensitive areas.
