XP Power recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area connected to the module's thermal pad to dissipate heat efficiently. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be connected to a heat sink or a metal plate for further heat dissipation.
To ensure reliable start-up in high-temperature environments, XP Power recommends using a soft-start circuit or a ramp-up circuit to limit the inrush current during start-up. This can help prevent the module from shutting down due to excessive current draw.
The maximum capacitance on the output of the RDC20110D12 is 220uF. Exceeding this value may cause the module to oscillate or become unstable. It's recommended to use a capacitance value that is less than or equal to 220uF to ensure stable operation.
Yes, the RDC20110D12 can be used in a redundant configuration to achieve high availability and reliability. However, it's essential to ensure that the modules are properly synchronized and that the output voltages are matched to prevent any potential issues.
XP Power recommends using a fuse with a rating of 5A or less to protect the module from input overcurrent conditions. The fuse should be able to handle the maximum input current of the module, which is 12A for the RDC20110D12.
