XP Power recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area for heat dissipation, and a thermal management system with a heat sink and thermal interface material to keep the junction temperature below 125°C.
To ensure reliable start-up and shutdown, XP Power recommends a soft-start circuit to limit inrush current, and a shutdown circuit to prevent voltage spikes and ensure a clean shutdown.
XP Power provides derating curves in the application notes or upon request, which show the reduction in output power and efficiency as the operating temperature increases.
Yes, the MTC15028D15 can be used in a redundant or parallel configuration, but XP Power recommends consulting their application notes and technical support team to ensure proper implementation and to discuss any specific requirements.
XP Power recommends using EMI filters on both the input and output of the converter to meet EMC standards, and provides guidance on filter selection and implementation in their application notes.
