Input Filtering
The SLIN-06E1Ax module should be connected to a low ac-impedance source. A highly inductive source can
affect the stability of the module. Input capacitance must be placed directly adjacent to the input pin of the
module, to minimize input ripple voltage and ensure module stability.
To minimize input voltage ripple, ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module. Below figure
shows the input ripple voltage for various output voltages at 6A of load current with 1x10 µF or 1x22 µF ceramic
capacitors and an input of 12V.

Output Voltage (Vdc)
Note: Input ripple voltage for various output voltages with 1x10 µF or 1x22 µF ceramic capacitors at the input (6A
load). Input voltage is 12V.
Output Filtering
The SLIN-06E1Ax modules are designed for low output ripple voltage and will meet the maximum output ripple
specification with 0.1 µF ceramic and 10 µF ceramic capacitors at the output of the module. However, additional
output filtering may be required by the system designer for a number of reasons. First, there may be a need to
further reduce the output ripple and noise of the module. Second, the dynamic response characteristics may
need to be customized to a particular load step change.
To reduce the output ripple and improve the dynamic response to a step load change, additional capacitance at
the output can be used. Low ESR polymer and ceramic capacitors are recommended to improve the dynamic
response of the module. Below figure provides output ripple information for different external capacitance values
at various Vo and for a load current of 6A. For stable operation of the module, limit the capacitance to less than
the maximum output capacitance as specified in the electrical specification table. Optimal performance of the
module can be achieved by using the Tunable Loop^TM feature described later in this data sheet.
