Input and Output Capacitors
Though UNS Series, non-isolated, DC/DC converters have on-board input
and output capacitors (C
IN
= 6.8μF C
OUT
= 6.8μF), the majority of applica-
tions will require the installation of additional external I/O capacitance.
The total input capacitance functions as a true energy-storage element, and
its optimal value will vary as a function of line voltage. The selected external
input capacitor should have both low ESR and low ESL because, as the
power converter’s input FET switch cycles on and off, the input capacitance
must have the ability to instantaneously supply pulses of relatively high cur-
rent.
Rather than install a large, expensive, on-board capacitor that addresses
all possible input-voltage and output-load conditions, DATEL has chosen to
leave out the bulk of the input capacitance so that users may select a cost-
effective component appropriate to their own application. We use a low-ESR
100μF external input capacitor during production testing and have found
330μF to be a conservative value that works well in the majority of applica-
tions.
In addition to their on-board output capacitor, UNS Series devices require
the installation of additional output capacitors to achieve rated ripple/noise
specifications. External output capacitors should be low-ESR tantalum or
electrolytic types, and they should be located as close to the converters
as possible. A minimum of 220μF is required to achieve rated ripple/noise
specs. Increased capacitance will lower output noise. There are no limitations
on output capacitance; however, we have found minimal noise improvements
beyond 4700μF

UNS Series devices require external input/output capacitors to achieve rated perfor
mance. Listed specifications assume C

See Technical Notes.
Output Ripple/Noise can be reduced with external capacitors. See Technical Notes.
UNS Series converters have no minimum-load requirements.
Current limiting initiates at approximately 5% above rated load.
DIP models have a standoff which makes their total above-board height 0.44 inches.
