Input Fusing
Certain applications and/or safety agencies may require fuses at the inputs of
power conversion components. Fuses should also be used when there is the
possibility of sustained input voltage reversal which is not current-limited. We
recommend a time delay fuse installed in the ungrounded input supply line
with a value which is approximately twice the maximum line current, calcu-
lated at the lowest input voltage.
safety agency approvals, install the converter in compliance with the end-user
safety standard, i.e. IEC/EN/UL 60950-1.
Input Reverse-Polarity Protection
If the input voltage polarity is reversed, an internal diode will become forward
biased and likely draw excessive current from the power source. If this source
is not current-limited or the circuit appropriately fused, it could cause perma-
nent damage to the converter.
Input Under-Voltage Shutdown and Start-Up Threshold
Under normal start-up conditions, converters will not begin to regulate properly
until the ramping-up input voltage exceeds and remains at the Start-Up
Threshold Voltage (see Specifi cations). Once operating, converters will not
turn off until the input voltage drops below the Under-Voltage Shutdown Limit.
Subsequent restart will not occur until the input voltage rises again above the
Start-Up Threshold. This built-in hysteresis prevents any unstable on/off opera-
tion at a single input voltage.
Shutdown whose voltage decays as input current is consumed (such as capaci-
tor inputs), the converter shuts off and then restarts as the external capacitor
recharges. Such situations could oscillate. To prevent this, make sure the operat-
ing input voltage is well above the UV Shutdown voltage AT ALL TIMES.
Start-Up Time
Assuming that the output current is set at the rated maximum, the Vin to Vout Start-
Up Time (see Specifi cations) is the time interval between the point when the ramping
input voltage crosses the Start-Up Threshold and the fully loaded regulated output
voltage enters and remains within its specifi ed accuracy band. Actual measured

assumes that the converter already has its input voltage stabilized above the
Start-Up Threshold before the On command. The interval is measured from the
On command until the output enters and remains within its specifi ed accuracy
band. The specifi cation assumes that the output is fully loaded at maximum
rated current. Similar conditions apply to the On to V
such as external load capacitance and soft start circuitry.
Input Source Impedance
These converters will operate to specifi cations without external components,
assuming that the source voltage has very low impedance and reasonable
input voltage regulation. Since real-world voltage sources have fi nite imped-
ance, performance is improved by adding external fi lter components. Some-
times only a small ceramic capacitor is suffi cient. Since it is diffi cult to totally
characterize all applications, some experimentation may be needed. Note that
external input capacitors must accept high speed switching currents.
converters must be driven from a source with both low AC impedance and
adequate DC input regulation. Performance will degrade with increasing input
inductance. Excessive input inductance may inhibit operation. The DC input
regulation specifi es that the input voltage, once operating, must never degrade
below the Shut-Down Threshold under all load conditions. Be sure to use
adequate trace sizes and mount components close to the converter.
I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current and Output Noise
All models in this converter series are tested and specifi ed for input refl ected
ripple current and output noise using designated external input/output compo-
nents, circuits and layout as shown in the fi gures below. External input capaci-
