Input Reflected-Ripple Current Test Setup
Input reflected-ripple current is measured with a inductor Lin (4.7μH) and Cin (220μF, ESR < 1.0Ω 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 0.47μF 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.
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condition, the unit is equipped with internal current limiting circuitry and can endure current limiting for an unlimited
duration. At the point of current-limit inception, the unit shifts from voltage control to current control. The unit operates normally once the output current is brought back
into its specified range.
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 on the input to insure startup. By using a good
quality low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR < 1.0Ω at 100 kHz) capacitor of a 4.7μF for the 24V input devices, a 2.2μF for the 48V devices and a 1μF for the 110V
devices, capacitor mounted close to the power module helps ensure stability of the unit.
A good quality low ESR capacitor placed as close as practicable across the load will give the best ripple and noise performance. To reduce output ripple, it is
recommended to use 3.3μF capacitors at the output.
The MIHW2000 series has limitation of maximum connected capacitance on the output. The power module may operate in current limiting mode during start-up,
affecting the ramp-up and the startup time. Connect capacitors at the point of load for best performance. The maximum capacitance can be found in the data sheet.
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 100℃. The derating curves are determined from
measurements obtained in a test setup.
