RECOM recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area connected to the module's thermal pad to ensure good heat dissipation. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be connected to a heat sink or a metal plate for further heat dissipation.
Use a suitable input voltage regulator or a voltage stabilizer to ensure the input voltage stays within the recommended range of 10.8V to 13.2V. Additionally, consider using a voltage supervisor or a reset IC to monitor the input voltage and reset the system if it goes out of range.
The maximum capacitance on the output depends on the specific application and the desired output voltage ripple. As a general rule, RECOM recommends using a maximum of 100uF ceramic or 220uF electrolytic capacitors on the output. However, it's essential to consult with RECOM's application engineers for specific guidance on output capacitance selection.
The RM-1515S is rated for operation up to 80°C ambient temperature. However, derating is required for temperatures above 60°C. Consult RECOM's application engineers for guidance on thermal derating and heat sink design to ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
To ensure EMC, RECOM recommends using a suitable EMI filter on the input, keeping the input and output cables as short as possible, and using a metal enclosure to shield the module. Additionally, consider using a common-mode choke or a ferrite bead on the output to reduce electromagnetic radiation.
