3.0 Vdc - 5.5 Vdc Input, 0.9 Vdc - 3.3 Vdc Output, 10 A

Test Configurations

Note: Measure input reflected ripple current with a simulated source

tery impedance. Measure current as shown above.

Figure 15. Input Reflected Ripple Current Test Setup.

Note: Scope measurements should be made using a BNC socket,

with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor and a 1 µF ceramic capcitor.

Position the load between 51 mm and 76 mm (2 in and 3 in)

from the module

Test Setup.

Note: All voltage measurements to be taken at the module termi-

nals, as shown above. If sockets are used then Kelvin con-

nections are required at the module terminals to avoid

measurement

errors due to socket contact resistance.

Design Considerations

Input Source Impedance

To maintain low-noise and ripple at the input voltage, it is

critical to use low ESR capacitors at the input to the module.

18 shows the input ripple voltage (mVp-p) for various output

models using a 150 µF low ESR polymer capacitor (Pana-

sonic p/n: EEFUE0J151R, Sanyo p/n: 6TPE150M) in parallel

with 47 µF ceramic capacitor (Panasonic p/n: ECJ-

5YB0J476M,

Taiyo Yuden p/n: CEJMK432BJ476MMT). Figure 19 depicts

much lower input voltage ripple when input capacitance is

increased to 450 µF (3 x 150 µF) polymer capacitors in par-

allel with 94 µF (2 x 47 µF) ceramic capacitor.

The input capacitance should be able to handle an AC ripple

current of at least:
