　　1. Special requirements for DCDC power supply for communication equipment

Compared with ordinary industrial power supplies, communication power supplies have more stringent requirements in terms of reliability, efficiency and power density:

　　Ultra high reliability: Design life is not less than 10 years, supports 7×24 hours of uninterrupted operation, mean time between failures (MTBF) > 1 million hours

　　High performance conversion: Typical efficiency requirement ≥96%, effectively reducing the energy consumption and cooling costs of the computer room

　　High power density: Compact design meets the high integration requirements of communication equipment, with power density up to 1200W/in³

　　Complete monitoring functions: Support PMBus/I2C digital interface, real-time monitoring of key parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, etc.

　　Strict EMC requirements: Complies with TLM Level 2 standards and meets the stringent electromagnetic environment requirements of communication equipment rooms.

　　2. In-depth analysis of common problems of DCDC communication power supply

　　Q1: Why does communication equipment need a -48V power supply system?

A: The advantages of -48V power supply system include:

　　Safe and reliable: Negative polarity power supply reduces electrochemical corrosion of lines

　　Historical inheritance: Traditional telecommunications standards continue, and equipment compatibility is good

　　Transmission efficiency: Relatively low voltage reduces transmission loss

　　battery backup: Easy to use directly with lead-acid battery pack

　　Q2: How to ensure the stability of communication power supply in high temperature environment?

A: High temperature stability guarantee measures:

　　Component selection: Choose industrial grade (-40℃～+85℃) or automotive grade (-40℃～+105℃) devices

　　Thermal design optimization: Adopt low thermal resistance package and built-in thermistor for temperature monitoring

　　Smart derating: Automatically start power derating protection when the temperature exceeds 65℃

　　Enhanced heat dissipation: It is RECOMmended to use thermal interface materials with thermal conductivity ≥3W/mK

　　Q3: How to configure redundant backup of communication power supply?

A: Redundant configuration scheme:

　　N+1 redundancy: N power modules meet basic needs, and an additional backup module is configured

　　Load sharing:Each module shares the load current equally to avoid overloading of a single module

　　Hot-swappable design:Supports online replacement and does not affect system operation during maintenance

　　fault isolation: Automatically cut off when a single module fails, without affecting other modules

　　Q4: How to solve the noise sensitivity of communication power supply?

A: Key technologies for noise suppression:

　　Topology selection: Using soft switching technologies such as zero voltage switching (ZVS)/zero current switching (ZCS)

　　Filter design: Multi-stage LC filtering, differential mode and common mode collaborative suppression

　　Layout optimization: Sensitive signals are strictly isolated from power paths and multi-point grounding is adopted.

　　Shielding measures: Key circuits are isolated by shielding covers, and magnetic rings are installed on the interfaces.
