DESCRIPTION
The NDT series is a range of low profile DC-
DC converters offering dual outputs over a
2:1 input voltage range. All parts deliver 3W
output power up to 85°C without heatsinking.
A flyback oscillator design with isolated
feedback is used to give regulation over the
full operating range of 25% to 100% of full
load. It is strongly recommended that external
capacitors be used on input and output to
guarantee performance over full load and
input voltage range (see application notes for
guidance). The plastic case is rated to UL
94V-0 and encapsulant to UL 94V-1and the
connection pins are formed from a tin plated
alloy 42 leadframe.

1 Specifications typical at TA=25°C, nominal input voltage and rated output current unless otherwise specified.
2 Measured at full load with external input/output capacitors, refer to test circuit.
3 A lower load is entirely safe but higher levels of output ripple will be experienced.
4Calculated using MIL-HDBK-217F with nominal input voltage at full load.

LINE REGULATION
The percentage change in output voltage between low input voltage and high input voltage,
measured with fixed output load
ie. A 5V output part with an output voltage of 5.05V @ high input voltage and 5.03V @
low input voltage would have a line regulation of 0.4%.
line regulation = VOUT (Low Input V) –VOUT (High Input V) x100%
VOUT (Nominal Input V)
Where VOUT (Nominal Input V) is 5V.

EXTERNAL CAPACITANCE
Although these converters will work
without external capacitors, they are
necessary in order to guarantee the full
parametric performance over the
full line and load range. All parts have
been tested and characterised
using the following values and test circuit
