A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the signal traces short and away from noise sources. Use a common mode filter and decoupling capacitors to minimize EMI.
Use a heat sink or thermal pad to dissipate heat. Ensure good airflow and avoid blocking airflow around the device. Consider using a thermal interface material to improve heat transfer.
Operating at a lower voltage may reduce performance, while a higher voltage may increase power consumption and reduce lifespan. Ensure the supply voltage is within the recommended range to maintain optimal performance and reliability.
Check the USB signal integrity, ensure proper termination, and verify the device is properly powered. Use a logic analyzer or oscilloscope to debug the USB signals. Consult the TI troubleshooting guide for further assistance.
Optimize power consumption by using the device's low-power modes and adjusting the clock frequency. Consider using a power management IC to regulate power and extend battery life.
