RN1406(TE85L,F) - Toshiba

RN1406(TE85L,F) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Toshiba recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane for the IC. The input and output pins should be routed away from each other to minimize noise coupling. A detailed layout guide can be found in the Toshiba application note 'RN1406 PCB Layout Guidelines'.
• How do I ensure the device is properly biased for optimal performance?
  The RN1406 requires a stable voltage supply and proper biasing to operate correctly. Ensure that the VCC pin is connected to a stable 5V power supply, and the VREF pin is connected to a stable 2.5V reference voltage. The input pins should be biased to the recommended voltage levels, and the output pins should be terminated with the recommended load resistors.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this device?
  The RN1406 is rated for operation from -40°C to 85°C. However, the device's performance may degrade at extreme temperatures, and the user should ensure that the device is operated within the recommended temperature range for optimal performance.
• How do I handle ESD protection for this device?
  The RN1406 is a sensitive device and requires proper ESD protection to prevent damage. Toshiba recommends using ESD protection devices such as TVS diodes or ESD protection ICs on the input and output pins. Additionally, handling the device with an anti-static wrist strap or mat can help prevent ESD damage.
• What is the recommended storage condition for this device?
  The RN1406 should be stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. The device should be stored in its original packaging or in a moisture-proof bag to prevent moisture absorption. The storage temperature should be between -40°C to 30°C, and the humidity should be below 60%.
