A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias is recommended for optimal thermal performance. The device should be placed near a thermal pad or heat sink to dissipate heat efficiently.
Ensure that the device is operated within the recommended temperature range (–40°C to 125°C). Use a heat sink or thermal pad to dissipate heat, and consider using a thermal interface material to improve heat transfer.
The recommended power sequencing is to power up the VCC pin first, followed by the VDD pin. The voltage ramp-up time should be slower than 10 ms/V to prevent latch-up and ensure reliable operation.
Use ESD protection devices such as TVS diodes or ESD arrays on the input and output pins to protect the device from electrostatic discharge. Follow proper PCB layout and handling procedures to minimize ESD risks.
Use a 100-ohm differential termination resistor at the receiver end, and a 50-ohm single-ended termination resistor at the transmitter end. Ensure that the termination resistors are placed close to the device pins to minimize signal reflections.
