Aimtec recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane and a minimum of 2 oz copper thickness to ensure optimal thermal performance. Additionally, keeping the component away from heat sources and using thermal vias can help to dissipate heat effectively.
To ensure reliability in high-temperature environments, it's essential to follow the recommended derating curves for the output power and input voltage. Additionally, using a heat sink or a thermal interface material can help to reduce the junction temperature and increase the converter's reliability.
The maximum capacitance on the output of the AM8T-2403SZ is not explicitly stated in the datasheet. However, as a general rule, Aimtec recommends limiting the output capacitance to 10-20 times the value of the output filter capacitor (Cout) to avoid stability issues.
Yes, the AM8T-2403SZ can be used in a redundant or parallel configuration to increase the overall power rating or to provide redundancy in critical applications. However, it's essential to follow the recommended guidelines for paralleling or redundancy to ensure proper operation and to avoid any potential issues.
The typical start-up time for the AM8T-2403SZ is around 10-20 ms, depending on the input voltage and output load conditions. However, this time can vary depending on the specific application and the external components used.
