CU10-12 datasheet by XP Power

CU10-12 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum capacitive load for the CU10-12 series?
  The maximum capacitive load for the CU10-12 series is 10uF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation.
• Can I use the CU10-12 in a high-temperature environment?
  While the CU10-12 has a rated operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, derating is required above 70°C. Consult the datasheet for derating curves and ensure proper thermal management.
• How do I ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with the CU10-12?
  To ensure EMC, follow proper PCB layout and design guidelines, use a suitable input filter, and consider adding external components such as common-mode chokes or ferrite beads to reduce EMI.
• What is the recommended input voltage range for the CU10-12?
  While the CU10-12 has a specified input voltage range, it's recommended to operate within ±10% of the nominal input voltage to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
• Can I parallel multiple CU10-12 converters for higher power?
  No, the CU10-12 is not designed for parallel operation. Instead, consider using a higher-power converter or consulting with XP Power's application engineers for custom solutions.
