SNAS669E September 2015 – April 2018 LMK03318
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LMK03318 is a high performance device. Therefore, pay careful attention to device configuration and printed-circuit board (PCB) layout with respect to device power consumption and thermal considerations. Employing a thermally-enhanced PCB layout can insure good thermal dissipation from the device to the PCB layers. Observing good thermal layout practices enables the thermal slug, or die attach pad (DAP), on the bottom of the 48-pin WQFN package to provide a good thermal path between the die contained within the package and the ambient air through the PCB interface. This thermal pad also serves as the singular ground connection the device; therefore, a low-inductance connection to multiple PCB ground layers (both internal and external) is essential.
