Design Considerations
Input Filtering
The Naos Raptor 60A module should be
connected to a low-impedance source. A highly
inductive source can affect the stability of the
module. An 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, low-ESR polymer
and ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input
of the module. Figure 40 shows the input ripple
voltage for various output voltages at 60A of load
current with 2x22 µF or 4x22 µF ceramic capacitors
and an input of 12V.

Output Filtering
The Naos Raptor 60A modules are designed for low
output ripple voltage and will meet the maximum
output ripple specification with no external capacitors.
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
ceramic and polymer are recommended to improve
the dynamic response of the module. 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
