CDR-02-TS - Adam Tech

CDR-02-TS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout and thermal management for optimal performance?
  Adam Technologies recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias to dissipate heat. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended for the power traces. Additionally, a thermal pad on the bottom of the device should be connected to a heat sink or a thermal management system.
• How do I ensure reliable operation in high-vibration environments?
  To ensure reliable operation in high-vibration environments, Adam Technologies recommends securing the CDR-02-TS to the PCB using a combination of screws and adhesive. Additionally, the PCB should be designed with vibration-dampening features, such as stiffeners or mounting points, to reduce the risk of mechanical stress on the device.
• What is the maximum allowable voltage drop across the input capacitors?
  According to Adam Technologies, the maximum allowable voltage drop across the input capacitors is 1.5V. Exceeding this voltage drop may result in reduced performance, increased heat generation, or even device failure.
• Can I use the CDR-02-TS in a redundant or parallel configuration for higher power applications?
  Yes, the CDR-02-TS can be used in a redundant or parallel configuration to achieve higher power ratings. However, Adam Technologies recommends consulting with their application engineers to ensure proper design and implementation of the redundant or parallel configuration to avoid any potential issues.
• What is the recommended EMI filtering scheme for the CDR-02-TS?
  Adam Technologies recommends using a combination of common-mode chokes and X-capacitors to filter out electromagnetic interference (EMI). A pi-filter configuration with a common-mode choke and two X-capacitors is recommended for optimal EMI performance.
