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.
Operating the PRM outside of its specified input voltage range can lead to reduced efficiency, increased heat generation, and potentially even damage to the module. It is essential to ensure the input voltage remains within the specified range.
To troubleshoot issues with the PRM, Vicor recommends checking the input voltage, output voltage, and current, as well as monitoring the module's temperature. Consult the datasheet and application notes for guidance on troubleshooting specific issues.
The PRM is designed to meet CISPR 22 and FCC Part 15 Class B emissions standards. To ensure compliance, Vicor recommends following proper PCB layout and shielding guidelines, and using EMI filters and shielding components as necessary.
