A thermal pad is recommended under the package to improve heat dissipation. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness and a thermal relief pattern around the thermal pad is suggested.
The device requires a stable input voltage and a proper biasing circuit to ensure optimal performance. A voltage regulator or a voltage reference is recommended to provide a stable input voltage.
Handle the device in an ESD-controlled environment, wear an ESD strap, and use ESD-safe tools and materials to prevent damage. Avoid touching the device pins or exposing it to static electricity.
The device is rated for operation up to 150°C. However, the maximum junction temperature (Tj) should not exceed 150°C. Ensure proper heat sinking and thermal management to prevent overheating.
Consult the datasheet and application notes for troubleshooting guidelines. Check the device's operating conditions, input voltage, and biasing circuit. Use oscilloscopes or logic analyzers to debug the issue.
