A thermal pad on the bottom of the package should be connected to a large copper area on the PCB to dissipate heat efficiently. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness is recommended.
Ensure that the device is operated within the recommended junction temperature range (TJ) of -40°C to 150°C. Implement proper thermal management, and consider using a heat sink if necessary.
The maximum allowed voltage on the input pins is 5.5V, which is the absolute maximum rating. However, for reliable operation, it is recommended to keep the input voltage below 5V.
The STTH1512GY-TR has built-in ESD protection, but it is still recommended to follow proper ESD handling procedures during assembly and storage. Use an ESD wrist strap or mat, and store the devices in anti-static packaging.
Store the devices in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. The recommended storage temperature range is -40°C to 30°C, and the relative humidity should be below 60%.
