MSLU100 Series
Test Configurations
Input Reflected-Ripple Current Test Setup
Input reflected-ripple current is measured with a inductor
Lin (4.7uH) and Cin (220uF, 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.

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 recommended to use a good
quality low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR < 1.0[ at 100
KHz) capacitor of a 2.2uF for the 5V input devices, a 1.0uF for
the 12V input devices and a 0.47uF for the 24V input devices.

Peak-to-Peak Output Noise Measurement Test
Use a Cout 0.33uF 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.

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 3.3uF
capacitors at the output.

Maximum Capacitive Load
The MSLU100 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 33
