Note: Input reflected-ripple current is measured with a
simulated source inductance. Current is
measured at the input of the module.

Input reflected-ripple test setup
To maintain low-noise and ripple at the input voltage, it is
critical to use low ESR capacitors at the input to the
module. The models using 6x47uF low ESR tantalum
capacitors (SANYO P/N:16TQC47M, 47uF/16V or
equivalent) and 6x22 uF very low ESR ceramic
capacitors (TDK P/N:C3225X7S1C226MT, 22uF/16V or
equivalent) for example.
The input capacitance should be able to handle an AC
ripple current of at least:

Note: All measurements are taken at the module
terminals. When the module is not soldered (via
socket), place Kelvin connections at module
terminals to avoid measurement errors due to
contact resistance.
