VND830E-E datasheet by STMicroelectronics

VND830E-E Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the VND830E-E?
  STMicroelectronics provides a recommended PCB layout in the application note AN2675, which includes guidelines for component placement, routing, and thermal management.
• How do I ensure the VND830E-E is properly cooled?
  The VND830E-E has a thermal pad on the bottom of the package, which should be connected to a heat sink or a thermal plane on the PCB. Ensure good thermal conductivity by using a thermal interface material and a heat sink with a sufficient thermal rating.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage on the VCC pin?
  The maximum allowed voltage on the VCC pin is 5.5V, as specified in the datasheet. Exceeding this voltage may damage the device.
• How do I configure the VND830E-E for low-power mode?
  The VND830E-E has a shutdown pin (SHDN) that can be used to put the device in low-power mode. Connect the SHDN pin to a logic low signal to enable low-power mode. Additionally, ensure that the input voltage is reduced to minimize power consumption.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value for the VND830E-E?
  The recommended input capacitor value is 10uF to 22uF, with an ESR of 0.1 ohms or less. This ensures stable operation and minimizes voltage ripple.
