RPMH12-1.5-CT - RECOM Power

RPMH12-1.5-CT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout and thermal management for optimal performance?
  RECOM Power Inc recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area for heat dissipation, and a thermal management system with a heat sink and thermal interface material to keep the junction temperature below 125°C.
• How do I ensure reliable start-up and operation with a high-impedance input source?
  To ensure reliable start-up and operation with a high-impedance input source, RECOM recommends adding a soft-start circuit and a input capacitor to reduce the inrush current and filter out noise.
• What is the maximum allowable capacitance on the output for stability and reliability?
  The maximum allowable capacitance on the output for stability and reliability is 10uF. Exceeding this value may cause oscillations and affect the converter's performance.
• Can I use this converter in a high-vibration or high-shock environment?
  Yes, the RPMH12-1.5-CT is designed to withstand high-vibration and high-shock environments, but RECOM recommends following the recommended PCB layout and mechanical design guidelines to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I troubleshoot and debug issues with the converter, such as output voltage deviations or oscillations?
  RECOM recommends using an oscilloscope to monitor the input and output waveforms, and checking the PCB layout and component values to identify any potential issues. Additionally, RECOM provides application notes and technical support to help troubleshoot and debug issues.
