Thermal Management
- Pitfall : Performance degradation due to excessive junction temperature
- Solution : Ensure adequate copper area for heat dissipation, particularly in SOT-23-5 package. Monitor junction temperature in high-ambient environments
Input Protection
- Pitfall : Damage from input overvoltage conditions
- Solution : Implement series current-limiting resistors and clamping diodes for inputs exposed to external signals
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Power Supply Sequencing
- Issue : Potential latch-up when power supplies are applied asymmetrically
- Mitigation : Implement proper power sequencing or use supply tracking circuits
Mixed-Signal Integration
