Use the following steps for the design procedure:
- Step 1: Hardware Schematic Design: Using the Figure 8-1 as a guide, integrate the hardware into the system schematic.
- Step 2: Following the layout guidelines recommended in the Section 10.1 section, integrate the device and its supporting components into the system PCB file.
- Step 3: Thermal Design: The device has an exposed thermal pad which requires proper soldering. For more information, see Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics and PowerPAD Thermally Enhanced Package.
- Step 4: Develop software: The EVM User's Guide has detailed instructions for how to set up the device, interpret diagnostic information, and so forth. For information about control registers, see the Section 7.5 section.
