SL Power Electronics recommends a multi-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a thermal pad connected to a heat sink or a metal chassis to ensure efficient heat dissipation. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended for the PCB.
To ensure EMC, SL Power Electronics recommends using a metal enclosure, keeping the power supply away from sensitive components, and using EMI filters or shielding on the input and output lines. Additionally, follow the recommended layout and grounding guidelines in the datasheet.
The maximum allowable capacitance on the output is 10,000 μF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation in the power supply.
The MINT1275A1514K01 is rated for operation up to 5,000 meters (16,400 ft) and 40°C ambient temperature. For higher altitudes or temperatures, derating may be necessary. Consult SL Power Electronics for specific guidance.
The MTBF of the MINT1275A1514K01 is approximately 550,000 hours at 25°C ambient temperature, calculated according to MIL-HDBK-217F.
