Thermal Management
- Provide adequate copper area for heat dissipation (minimum 25mm²)
- Use thermal vias under the component package
- Maintain minimum 3mm clearance from heat-sensitive components
Signal Integrity
- Route sensitive signals away from high-current paths
- Implement guard rings for high-impedance nodes
- Maintain consistent impedance for high-speed signals
Component Placement
- Position D1990 within 15mm of associated control ICs
- Ensure
