Part Details for DDC3024S09 by XP Power

XP Power recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area connected to the module's thermal pad to dissipate heat efficiently. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be connected to a heat sink or a metal plate for further heat dissipation.

To ensure reliable start-up and operation with a high-capacitance output filter, XP Power recommends adding a soft-start circuit or a ramp-up circuit to limit the inrush current during start-up. Additionally, the output filter should be designed to minimize the output voltage overshoot and ringing during start-up.

The maximum allowed output capacitance for the DDC3024S09 is not explicitly stated in the datasheet, but XP Power recommends limiting the output capacitance to 10,000 μF or less to ensure stable operation and prevent oscillations.

The DDC3024S09 is rated for operation up to 80°C ambient temperature, but XP Power recommends derating the output power and current to ensure reliable operation at high temperatures. Consult the datasheet and XP Power's application notes for more information on high-temperature operation.

XP Power recommends using a scope and a multimeter to measure the input and output voltages, currents, and temperatures to identify the root cause of any issues. Consult the datasheet and XP Power's application notes for troubleshooting guidelines and fault diagnosis procedures.
