SL Power Electronics recommends a multi-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias to dissipate heat. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended. Additionally, a thermal interface material (TIM) with a thermal conductivity of 1 W/m-K or higher is suggested between the module and the heat sink.
To ensure reliable start-up and shutdown, SL Power Electronics recommends a soft-start circuit to limit inrush current and a shutdown circuit to prevent voltage spikes. Additionally, a minimum of 10 ms delay between turn-on and turn-off is recommended to prevent damage to the module.
SL Power Electronics provides derating curves for temperature and altitude in their application notes. For the MINT1065A1875C01, the derating curve for temperature is 1.5% per °C above 40°C, and for altitude, it is 1.5% per 1,000 ft above sea level.
Yes, the MINT1065A1875C01 can be used in a redundant or parallel configuration, but it requires additional circuitry and design considerations to ensure proper operation and fault tolerance. SL Power Electronics recommends consulting their application notes and technical support for guidance on implementing such configurations.
The MINT1065A1875C01 has built-in EMI filters, but additional external filtering may be required depending on the specific application and regulatory requirements. SL Power Electronics recommends consulting their EMI filter design guide and application notes for guidance on meeting specific EMI standards.
