6. HOLD-UP TIME
The input side of the DC/DC converter is equipped with a bulk capacitor which keeps the output voltage alive for a
certain period of time when the input voltage dips or is removed. The bulk capacitor can be discharged by loading the
DC/DC converter on the output side or through a load which is parallel to the input. There is no protection in the
DC/DC converter which prevents current from flowing back to the input terminals. If prevention is needed, an external
diode should be used.
