Murata recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane and a thermal relief pattern under the module to ensure optimal thermal performance. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended.
To ensure reliable start-up, Murata recommends a soft-start circuit or a ramp-up of the input voltage to prevent inrush currents. Additionally, a minimum input capacitance of 10uF is recommended.
The NTE1212MC-R can tolerate an input voltage deviation of ±10% of the nominal input voltage without affecting its performance or reliability.
While the NTE1212MC-R is rated for operation up to 85°C, Murata recommends derating the output power by 2.5% per degree above 70°C to ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
To troubleshoot output voltage deviations, check the input voltage, output load, and ambient temperature. Verify that the module is properly soldered and that the PCB layout meets Murata's recommendations. If issues persist, contact Murata's technical support for further assistance.
