CAUTION
– This converter is not internally fused. To avoid danger to
persons or equipment and to retain safety certification, the user must
connect an external fast-blow input fuse as listed in the specifications.
Be sure that the PC board pad area and etch size are adequate to
provide enough current so that the fuse will blow with an overload.
Start Up Considerations
When power is first applied to the DC/DC converter, there is some risk
of start up difficulties if you do not have both low AC and DC imped-
ance and adequate regulation of the input source. Make sure that your
source supply does not allow the instantaneous input voltage to go
below the minimum voltage at all times. Even if this voltage depression
is very brief, this may interfere with the on-board controller and pos-
sibly cause a failed start.
Use a moderate size capacitor very close to the input terminals. You
may need two parallel capacitors. A larger electrolytic or tantalum cap
supplies the surge current and a smaller parallel low-ESR ceramic cap
gives low AC impedance.
Remember that the input current is carried both by the wiring and the
ground plane return. Make sure the ground plane uses adequate thick-
ness copper. Run additional bus wire if necessary.
