The recommended operating voltage range for STK15C88-NF45TR is 4.5V to 5.5V, with a typical voltage of 5V.
It is recommended to power up the VCC pin first, followed by the VPP pin, and then the other input pins. During power-down, the sequence should be reversed. Additionally, it is recommended to add a power-on reset circuit to ensure proper initialization of the device.
The maximum clock frequency supported by STK15C88-NF45TR is 100 MHz, but it can be operated at lower frequencies depending on the application requirements.
A reliable reset circuit can be implemented using a voltage supervisor IC, such as the Cypress Semiconductor's CY1149, which can detect power-on reset and brown-out conditions. The reset signal should be connected to the RESET pin of the STK15C88-NF45TR.
The STK15C88-NF45TR has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. To ensure reliable operation, it is recommended to keep the device temperature below 85°C. Thermal management techniques such as heat sinks, thermal interfaces, and airflow can be used to reduce the device temperature.
