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 2 oz 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 power-on. This helps to prevent the module from shutting down due to excessive current draw.
The maximum capacitance on the output of the RDC2072D12 is 2200uF. Exceeding this value may cause the module to oscillate or become unstable. It's recommended to use a capacitance value that is within the specified range to ensure stable operation.
Yes, the RDC2072D12 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 higher to protect the module from input overcurrent conditions. The fuse should be selected based on the specific application requirements and the maximum input current rating of the module.
