T1650H-6G-TR datasheet by STMicroelectronics

T1650H-6G-TR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  STMicroelectronics provides a recommended PCB layout in their application note AN5046, which includes guidelines for thermal pad connection, copper pouring, and via placement to ensure optimal thermal performance.
• How do I handle the thermal shutdown feature?
  The thermal shutdown feature is enabled by default. To handle it, monitor the TSD (Thermal Shutdown) pin, which goes low when the junction temperature exceeds 170°C. When TSD is low, the device is in shutdown mode. Wait for the device to cool down before re-enabling it.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage on the VCC pin?
  Although the datasheet specifies a recommended operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5V, the absolute maximum rating for the VCC pin is 6V. However, it's essential to ensure that the voltage does not exceed 5.5V for reliable operation.
• Can I use the T1650H-6G-TR in a high-reliability or automotive application?
  Yes, the T1650H-6G-TR is qualified for automotive and high-reliability applications. It meets the AEC-Q100 standard and is manufactured using a process that ensures high reliability and robustness.
• How do I ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with the T1650H-6G-TR?
  To ensure EMC, follow the guidelines in STMicroelectronics' application note AN2679, which provides recommendations for PCB layout, component selection, and shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference.
