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 Layout Guidelines, integrate the device and the 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
Section 7.5.
