MKW2500 / MKW2500A Series
Output Ripple Reduction
A good quality low ESR capacitor placed as close as
practicable across the load will give the best ripple and noise
performance.
To reduce output ripple, it is recommended to use 4.7uF
capacitors at the output.

Maximum Capacitive Load
The MKW2500 series has limitation of maximum
connected capacitance at the output.
The power module may be operated in current limiting
mode during start-up, affecting the ramp-up and the startup
time.
For optimum performance we recommend 220uF
maximum capacitive load for dual outputs and 470uF
capacitive load for single outputs.
The maximum capacitance can be found in the data.
Thermal Considerations
Many conditions affect the thermal performance of the
power module, such as orientation, airflow over the module
and board spacing. To avoid exceeding the maximum
temperature rating of the components inside the power
module, the case temperature must be kept below 100°C.
The derating curves are determined from measurements
obtained in an experimental apparatus.
