Vicor recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and thermal vias under the module to dissipate heat. A thermal interface material (TIM) should be used between the module and the heat sink.
To ensure reliable start-up and shutdown, Vicor recommends a soft-start circuit to limit inrush current, and a shutdown circuit to discharge the output capacitors. Additionally, a voltage supervisor can be used to monitor the input voltage and prevent start-up during brownout conditions.
The 32497 module is designed to meet CISPR 22 Class B emissions limits. To minimize EMI and RFI, Vicor recommends using a shielded enclosure, keeping sensitive circuits away from the module, and using EMI filters on the input and output lines.
Yes, the 32497 module can be used in a redundant or N+1 configuration to achieve high availability and fault tolerance. Vicor recommends using a diode ORing circuit to connect multiple modules in parallel, and a load-sharing circuit to balance the output current.
The 32497 module is rated for operation up to 100°C. However, derating is required for high-temperature operation. Vicor recommends derating the output power by 1% per degree Celsius above 80°C to ensure reliable operation.
