Murata recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane and a minimum of 2 oz copper thickness to ensure optimal thermal performance. A thermal via array under the module can also help to improve heat dissipation.
To ensure reliable start-up, ensure that the input voltage rises monotonically and does not droop during start-up. A soft-start circuit can also be used to limit the inrush current and prevent voltage droop.
The maximum allowable capacitance for the output filter capacitor is 220uF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation in the module.
No, the module is designed to operate within the specified input voltage range of 10-15V. Operating outside of this range may affect the module's performance, efficiency, or reliability.
To troubleshoot issues with the module's output voltage regulation, check the input voltage, output load, and ambient temperature. Verify that the module is properly soldered and that there are no signs of physical damage or contamination.
