STMicroelectronics recommends a 2-layer or 4-layer PCB with a thermal pad connected to a large copper area on the bottom layer to dissipate heat efficiently.
Implement a thermal management system, such as a heat sink or fan, to keep the junction temperature below 150°C. Also, ensure good airflow and avoid blocking the thermal pad.
The maximum allowed voltage on the input pins is 5.5V, exceeding which may cause permanent damage to the device.
Use ESD protection devices, such as TVS diodes or ESD arrays, on the input lines to protect the device from electrostatic discharge.
Power up the device in the following sequence: VCC, then VIN, and finally the input signals. This ensures proper device initialization and prevents latch-up.
