Vicor recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and thermal vias under the module to dissipate heat. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended. Additionally, 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 voltage supervisor to monitor the input voltage and ensure it is within the recommended range before enabling the module.
The maximum allowable capacitance on the output of the PI3526-00-BGIZ is 2200uF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation in the module.
Yes, the PI3526-00-BGIZ can be used in a redundant or parallel configuration, but Vicor recommends using a dedicated ORing diode or power switch to isolate the modules and prevent back-feeding.
Vicor recommends a fuse rating of 5A to 10A, and a slow-blow or time-delay fuse type to accommodate the inrush current of the module.
