A good PCB layout should ensure minimal thermal resistance, use a large copper area for heat dissipation, and keep the component away from heat sources. A thermal pad or heat sink can be used to improve heat dissipation. Consult Vishay's application notes for more information.
Choose a voltage rating that exceeds the maximum voltage in your application, and a current rating that meets or exceeds the maximum current. Consider derating for temperature, voltage, and current to ensure reliable operation.
The VLWB9900 can operate from -55°C to 150°C (junction temperature), but the maximum storage temperature is 150°C. Ensure proper thermal management to prevent overheating.
Follow standard ESD precautions when handling the VLWB9900, such as using an ESD wrist strap, mat, or workstation, and storing the device in an anti-static bag or container.
Use a soldering temperature of 260°C (max) for 10 seconds (max) when hand-soldering. For reflow soldering, follow the recommended temperature profile in the datasheet. Ensure proper soldering techniques to prevent damage.
