42 – 53Vdc input; 12Vdc Output; 25A output current
Test Configurations
Note: Measure input reflected-ripple current with a simulated
source inductance (LTEST) of 12 µH. Capacitor CS offsets
possible battery impedance. Measure current as shown
above.

Kelvin connections are required at the module terminals
to avoid measurement errors due to socket contact

Design Considerations
Input Filtering
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance source. A highly inductive source
impedance can affect the stability of the power
module. For the test configuration in Figure 9, a
100μF electrolytic capacitor (ESR<0.7Ω at 100kHz),
mounted close to the power module helps ensure the
stability of the unit. Consult the factory for further
application guidelines.
Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and
separation requirements of the end-use safety agency
standard, i.e., UL 1950, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00,
and VDE 0805:2001-12 (IEC60950 3^rd Ed).
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous
voltage greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to
75Vdc), for the module’s output to be considered as
meeting the requirements for safety extra-low voltage
(SELV), all of the following must be true:
ƒ The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any other hazardous voltages,
including the ac mains.
ƒ One V_IN pin and one V_OUT pin are to be
grounded, or both the input and output pins are
to be kept floating.
ƒ The input pins of the module are not operator
accessible.
ƒ Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the
whole system (combination of supply source and
subject module), as required by the safety
agencies, to verify that under a single fault,
hazardous voltages do not appear at the
module’s output.
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the
module without grounding one of the output
pins. This may allow a non-SELV voltage to
appear between the output pins and ground.
The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV)
outputs when all inputs are ELV. The input to these
units is to be provided with a maximum 15 A fast-
acting (or time-delay) fuse in the unearthed lead.
