NC12S15A_01102008 9 FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.) Output Capacitance There is no output capacitor on the NC series modules.Hence, an external output capacitor is required for stableoperation. For NC15 modules, a n external 6.3V/680 μ F low ESR capacitor (for example, OSCON) is required for stable ope...

NC12S15A_01102008 10 THERMAL CONSIDERATION Thermal management is an important part of the system design. To ensure proper, reliable operation, sufficient cooling of the power module is needed over the entire temperature range of the module. Convection cooling is usually the dominant mode of heat tra...
