iPOS360X MX-CAN Board Dimensions
All dimensions are in mm. The drawings are not to scale.
3.2
Mechanical Mounting
The iPOS360X drive is intended to be mounted horizontally on a motherboard equipped with the recommended mating
connectors, as specified in chapter 3.5.2 Mating Connectors. Several drives can be hosted by a single motherboard.
For thermal calculations ,the iPOS3604 MX-CAN drive can be assumed to generate 1 Watt (= 3.4 BTU/hour) at idle,
and up to 3 Watt (= 10 BTU/hour) worst case while driving a motor.
3.3
Motherboard PCB Design
It is recommended to use a multi-layer PCB for the motherboard, in order to have enough room for routing all 40 pins
of the iPOS360x. Using a 2-layer PCB is possible when some of the iPOS360x pins remain un-connected.
Below is a list of recommendations for the PCB design of the motherboard:
•
Motor supply and motor outputs: use islands / areas of copper to escape connector area; this will maximize
current capability. When using simple tracks, use at least 100mil cross section (75mil track width for 1oz/ft2
copper thickness) – for iPOS3604. Halve these values for the iPOS3602.
•
Motor supply and ground return tracks between iPOS360X and the nearby V
be considered as EMI sources, and kept to a minimum length.
