Due to stock problems:

That's a 6 A limit now. A bit small compared to the 14 A of the MIC. It would be good if we can at least make 8 A, better 12 A (3 A per TEC not including losses). We have a high power 12 V connection that can supply enough. I'd rather not be limited by the 5 V power supply.

It's hard to find something what is small enough, high current and it's possible to buy in this year.

If this is an emergency alternative, OK. Can we make the boards so that they can be upgraded to the MIC by rework when available?

akaminska commented 2 years ago

@jordens this is only a temporary solution for the purpose of the prototype series, in order to be able to manufacture it now. If you think that it will be really useful, we can try to squeeze in one more 584-LTM4623EV#PBF

filipswit commented 2 years ago

@jordens We treat LTM4623 as temporary solution. MIC section is left as it was, we would like to mount all RC components and as soon as MIC will be available, upgrade will be possible.

@akaminska @filipswit Sounds good! If the plan is to upgrade all boards to the MIC, then this is fine.

@jordens finally i squeezed there 3rd DC/DC so now we have 3x3A.
