Test Configurations
Input Reflected-Ripple Current Test Setup
Input reflected-ripple current is measured with a inductor
Lin (4.7uH) and Cin (220uF, ESR < 1.0[ at 100 KHz) to
simulate source impedance.
Capacitor Cin, offsets possible battery impedance.
Current ripple is measured at the input terminals of the
module, measurement bandwidth is 0-500 KHz.
Peak-to-Peak Output Noise Measurement Test
Use a Cout 0.33uF ceramic capacitor.
Scope measurement should be made by using a BNC
socket, measurement bandwidth is 0-20 MHz. Position the
load between 50 mm and 75 mm from the DC/DC Converter.
Design & Feature Considerations
Maximum Capacitive Load
The S2E00 series has limitation of maximum connected
capacitance at the output.
The power module may be operated in current limiting
mode during start-up, affecting the ramp-up and the startup
time.
For optimum performance we recommend 220uF
maximum capacitive load
for each dual outputs and 470
u
F
capacitive load
for single outputs.
The maximum capacitance can be found in the data sheet.
Input Source Impedance
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance input source. Highly inductive source
impedances can affect the stability of the power module.
In applications where power is supplied over long lines and
output loading is high, it may be necessary to use a capacitor
at the input to ensure startup.
Capacitor mounted close to the power module helps
ensure stability of the unit, it is recommended to use a good
quality low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR < 1.0[ at 100
KHz) capacitor of a 2.2uF for the 5V input devices, a 1.0uF for
the 12V input devices and a 0.47uF for the 15V devices.
Output Ripple Reduction
A good quality low ESR 1.5uF capacitor connected as
colse as possible to the load is recommended.
Thermal Considerations
Many conditions affect the thermal performance of the
power module, such as orientation, airflow over the module
and board spacing. To avoid exceeding the maximum
temperature rating of the components inside the power
module, the case temperature must be kept below 95°C.
The derating curves are determined from measurements
obtained in an experimental apparatus.
