Vicor recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and thermal vias to dissipate heat. A thermal interface material (TIM) should be used between the module and the heat sink. A heat sink with a thermal resistance of 1°C/W or lower is recommended.
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. The enable pin should be driven with a logic signal, and the module should be powered up and down slowly (e.g., 10ms) to prevent voltage spikes.
Input voltage transients can affect the module's performance and reliability. Vicor recommends using input capacitors with a high surge current rating and a voltage rating that exceeds the maximum input voltage. The module's input filter should be designed to attenuate transients, and the system should be designed to withstand voltage dips and spikes.
For high-temperature applications, Vicor recommends using a heat sink with a high thermal conductivity, and ensuring good airflow around the module. The module's temperature derating should be considered, and the system should be designed to operate within the module's specified temperature range.
The 30268 module is designed to meet CISPR 22 and FCC Part 15 Class B emissions standards. To ensure compliance, Vicor recommends using a shielded enclosure, minimizing loop areas, and using EMI filters and common-mode chokes as needed. The system should be designed to meet the relevant regulatory standards.
