Nexperia recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area connected to the tab of the PMN70EPEX to ensure good thermal conduction. A minimum of 1 oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be connected to a solid ground plane to minimize thermal resistance.
To ensure reliable operation at high temperatures, it's essential to follow Nexperia's recommended derating guidelines for the PMN70EPEX. This includes reducing the maximum allowable power dissipation as the ambient temperature increases. Additionally, ensure good thermal design and heat sinking to keep the junction temperature below the maximum rated value.
While the datasheet specifies a maximum voltage rating of 70V, it's essential to note that this rating is for repetitive pulses only. For DC voltage, the maximum allowable voltage is 50V. Exceeding these voltage ratings can lead to device failure or reduced lifespan.
To protect the PMN70EPEX from EOS, Nexperia recommends using a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) or a varistor in parallel with the device. This helps to absorb voltage spikes and surges, ensuring the device operates within its safe operating area.
To prevent damage or degradation, store the PMN70EPEX in its original packaging or in a dry, cool place. Avoid exposing the device to moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures. When handling the device, use anti-static precautions, such as wrist straps or mats, to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
