V28C28H100BN - VICOR

V28C28H100BN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout and thermal management for optimal performance?
  Vicor recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and a thermal pad connected to a heat sink or a thermal interface material. Proper thermal management is crucial to ensure the module's reliability and performance.
• How do I ensure the module's input voltage stays within the recommended range?
  Use a suitable input filter or a voltage regulator to regulate the input voltage. Additionally, ensure the input voltage does not exceed the maximum rating, and consider using over-voltage protection (OVP) and under-voltage protection (UVP) circuits.
• What is the maximum output current derating for high ambient temperatures?
  The output current derating for high ambient temperatures is typically 1.5% per degree Celsius above 40°C. Consult Vicor's application notes or contact their support team for specific derating curves and guidance.
• Can I use the V28C28H100BN in a parallel configuration to increase output power?
  Yes, the V28C28H100BN can be paralleled to increase output power. However, it's essential to ensure proper synchronization, current sharing, and thermal management to avoid uneven stress and potential reliability issues.
• What are the EMI and RFI considerations for the V28C28H100BN?
  The V28C28H100BN is designed to meet CISPR 22 Class B and FCC Part 15 Class B emissions standards. However, proper PCB layout, shielding, and filtering may be necessary to ensure compliance with specific regulatory requirements and to minimize electromagnetic interference.
