Texas Instruments recommends a thermal pad on the bottom of the package, connected to a solid copper plane on the PCB to dissipate heat efficiently. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness is recommended for the thermal plane.
To ensure reliable operation at high temperatures, it's essential to follow the recommended operating conditions, including voltage, current, and power dissipation. Additionally, consider using thermal management techniques such as heat sinks, thermal interfaces, and airflow to keep the device within the recommended temperature range.
The maximum allowable voltage on the input pins is 5.5V, which is the absolute maximum rating. However, for reliable operation, it's recommended to keep the input voltage within the recommended operating range of 3.3V ± 10%.
The TIBPAL16R4-10CFN has built-in ESD protection, but it's still essential to follow proper ESD handling procedures during assembly, storage, and handling. Use ESD-safe materials, wrist straps, and mats to prevent damage from static electricity.
To ensure reliable operation, it's recommended to maintain a clock signal integrity with a rise time of 1ns or slower, and a clock frequency of up to 100MHz. Additionally, use a clock signal with a duty cycle of 40% to 60% to prevent clock skew and jitter.
