design recommendations EV-VN5016AJ 2/8 doc id 023957 rev 2 1 design recommendations this evaluation board provides mounting solution and some heat sinking capability for prototype development, but there are still external components that are required to make these devices work in any application. for further information on how the evaluation board has to be used you can refer to the an4210 (see appendix a: reference documents ). figure 2 illustrates the necessary components for any application. figure 2. vn5016aj evaluation board st has produced a user manual for safe designs using st?s vipower devices. this is um1556 (see appendix a: reference documents ). um1556 is a vipower hardware design guide that provides all necessary information to successfully design your circuit using our vipower drivers. all designs have different needs and requirements. whatever design you decide to use, it will still need to be verified in order to meet your application specifications. st implies no guarantee or warranty (see appendix a: reference documents ). , o a d s 6 p d o o 6 l j q d o ' l r g h ) r u 5 h y h u v h % d w w h u \ 3 u r w h f w l r q 2 8 7 3 8 7 2 8 7 3 8 7 2 8 7 3 8 7 2 8 7 3 8 7 2 8 7 3 8 7 2 8 7 3 8 7 9 & |
