Test Setup
Input Reflected-Ripple Current Test Setup
Input reflected-ripple current is measured with a inductor Lin (10µH) and Cin (1µF, ESR < 1.0 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 0.33µF 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.

Technical Notes
Maximum Capacitive Load
The MA01H series has limitation of maximum connected capacitance at the output. The power module may be operated in current limiting mode during start-up,
affecting the ramp-up and the startup time. For optimum performance we recommend 220µF maximum capacitive load for devices.
The maximum capacitance can be found in the data sheet.
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. In
applications where power is supplied over long lines and output loading is high, it may be necessary to use a capacitor at the input to ensure startup.
Capacitor mounted close to the power module helps ensure stability of the unit, it is commended to use a good quality low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR < 1.0
at 100 KHz) capacitor of a 2.2µF for the 5V input devices, a 1.0µF for the 12V input devices and a 0.47µF for the 24V devices.

Output Ripple Reduction
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 1.0µF capacitors at the output.

Thermal Considerations
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 95℃. The derating curves are determined from
measurements obtained in a test setup.
