Triad Magnetics recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with the transformer centered on the board, and the primary and secondary windings on opposite sides of the board to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
While the CMT-8111 is rated for operation up to 130°C, Triad Magnetics recommends derating the transformer's power handling at high temperatures to ensure reliable operation. Consult the manufacturer's application notes for specific guidance.
Triad Magnetics provides safety certifications for the CMT-8111, but it is the responsibility of the system designer to ensure that the transformer is used in a manner that meets the safety requirements of the end application. This may involve additional testing and certification.
Triad Magnetics recommends using a solderable pin or a surface-mount pad to connect the transformer to the PCB. Avoid using wire-wrap or other mechanical connections that may compromise the transformer's reliability.
Yes, the CMT-8111 can be used in resonant converter topologies, but Triad Magnetics recommends careful design and simulation to ensure that the transformer is operated within its specified parameters and that the resonant frequency is within the recommended range.
