(1) All models are tested and specified with external 1||10 µF ceramic/tantalum output
capacitors and no external input capacitor. All capacitors are low ESR types. These
capacitors are necessary to accommodate our test equipment and may not be required
to achieve specified performance in your applications. All models are stable and regulate
within spec under no-load conditions.
General conditions for Specifications are +25 deg.C, Vi n = nominal, Vo u t = nominal, full
load. Adequate airflow must be supplied for extended testing under power.
(2) Input Ripple Current is tested and specified over a 5 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Input
filtering is Cin = 33 µF, 100V tantalum, Cb u s = 220 µF, 100V electrolytic, Lb u s = 12 µH.
(3) Note that Maximum Power Derating curves indicate an average current at nominal
input voltage. At higher temperatures and/or lower airflow, the DC/DC converter will
tolerate brief full current outputs if the total RMS current over time does not exceed
the Derating curve. All Derating curves are presented at sea level altitude. Be aware of
reduced power dissipation with increasing density altitude.
(4) Mean Time Before Failure is calculated using the Telcordia (Belcore) SR-332 Method 1,
Case 3, ground fixed conditions, Tpcboard=+25 deg.C, full output load, natural air
convection.
(5) The On/Off Control is normally controlled by a switch. But it may also be driven with
external logic or by applying appropriate external voltages which are referenced to Input
Common. The On/Off Control Input should use either an open collector or open drain
transistor.
(6) Short circuit shutdown begins when the output voltage degrades approximately 2%
from the selected setting.
(7) The outputs are not intended to sink appreciable reverse current. This may damage
the outputs.
(8) Output noise may be further reduced by adding an external filter. See I/O Filtering and
Noise Reduction.
(9) All models are fully operational and meet published specifications, including “cold
start” at –40ºC.
(10) Regulation specifications describe the deviation as the line input voltage or output
load current is varied from a nominal midpoint value to either extreme.
(11) Alternate pin length and/or other output voltages are available under special quantity
order.
(12) Output current limit is non-latching. When the overcurrent fault is removed, the
converter will immediately recover.
(13) Do not exceed maximum power specifications when adjusting the output trim.
(14) At zero output current, the output may contain low frequency components which
exceed the ripple specification. The output may be operated indefinitely with no load.
(15) If reverse polarity is accidentally applied to the input, a body diode will become
forward biased and will conduct considerable current. To ensure reverse input protection
with full output load, always connect an external input fuse in series with the +Vi n input.
Use approximately twice the full input current rating with nominal input voltage.
