Magnecraft recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane and a thermal pad connected to a heat sink or a metal core PCB to ensure efficient heat dissipation. A minimum of 1 oz copper thickness is recommended.
To ensure reliable operation in high-vibration environments, Magnecraft recommends securing the W117SIP-3 with a suitable mounting method, such as a screw or adhesive, and using a conformal coating to protect the device from moisture and contaminants.
The maximum allowable voltage drop across the input and output pins is 1.5V. Exceeding this voltage drop may affect the device's performance and reliability.
The W117SIP-3 is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, derating the device's power handling is recommended for temperatures above 100°C to ensure reliable operation.
To troubleshoot issues with the W117SIP-3, Magnecraft recommends checking the input voltage, output current, and temperature. Verify that the device is properly mounted and connected, and ensure that the PCB layout and thermal management are adequate. Consult the datasheet and application notes for guidance on troubleshooting specific issues.
