PM13560S-100M-RC - Bourns

PM13560S-100M-RC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout and land pattern for optimal performance?
  Bourns provides a recommended PCB layout and land pattern in their application notes. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance, low inductance, and minimal signal degradation.
• How do I ensure the inductor's magnetic field doesn't interfere with nearby components?
  To minimize magnetic field interference, keep the inductor at least 5 mm away from sensitive components, and orient the inductor to minimize the magnetic field's impact. You can also use shielding or mu-metal to contain the magnetic field.
• What is the maximum allowable voltage for the PM13560S-100M-RC?
  While the datasheet specifies a maximum rated current, it's essential to note that the maximum allowable voltage is 80% of the saturation current. Exceeding this voltage may cause the inductor to saturate, leading to reduced performance and potential damage.
• How do I calculate the self-resonant frequency (SRF) of the PM13560S-100M-RC?
  The SRF can be calculated using the inductor's inductance (L) and capacitance (C) values. The formula is: SRF = 1 / (2 * π * sqrt(L * C)). You can find the necessary values in the datasheet or by contacting Bourns' technical support.
• What is the thermal derating curve for the PM13560S-100M-RC?
  Bourns provides a thermal derating curve in their application notes or upon request. This curve helps you determine the maximum allowable current at elevated temperatures to prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation.
