Test Configurations
8-2736 (F)
Note: Measure input reflected-ripple current with a simulated source
inductance (LTEST) of 12 µH. Capacitor CS offsets possible bat-
tery impedance. Measure current as shown above.
Figure 15. Input Reflected-Ripple Test Setup
8-3299 (F)
Note: Use a 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF aluminum or
tantalum capacitor . Scope measurement should be made using
a BNC socket. Position the load between 51 mm and 76 mm
(2 in. and 3 in.) from the module.

Test Setup
8-3300 (F)
Note: All measurements are taken at the module terminals. When
socketing, place Kelvin connections at module terminals to
avoid measurement errors due to socket contact resistance.

Design Considerations
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. For the test configuration in Figure 15,
a 33 µF electrolytic capacitor (ESR < 0.7 Ω at 100 kHz)
mounted close to the power module helps ensure
stability of the unit. For other highly inductive source
impedances, consult the factory for further application
guidelines.
Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard,
i.e., UL 60950, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00, VDE 0805
(EN60950).
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous
voltage greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to
75Vdc), for the module’s output to be considered as
meeting the requirements for safety extra-low voltage
(SELV), all of the following must be true:
■The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any other hazardous voltages,
including the ac mains.
■One VIN pin and one VOUT pin are to be grounded,
or both the input and output pins are to be kept
floating.
■The input pins of the module are not operator
accessible.
■Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the
whole system (combination of supply source and
subject module), as required by the safety agencies,
to v erify that under a single fault, hazardous voltages
do not appear at the module’s output.
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the
module without grounding one of the output pins .
This may allow a non-SELV voltage to appear
between the output pins and ground.
The pow er module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs
when all inputs are ELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with
a maximum 3 A normal-blow fuse in the
ungrounded lead.
