Design Considerations (continued)
Safety Considerations
For safety agency approval the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standards,
i.e., UL 60950-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-03, and VDE
0850:2001-12 (EN60950-1) Licensed.
Output Filtering
The 12V Austin Lynx Programmable SMT module is
designed for low output ripple voltage and will meet the
maximum output ripple specification with 1 µF ceramic
and 10 µF tantalum capacitors at the output of the
module. 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.
For the converter output to be considered meeting the
requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), the
input must meet SELV requirements. 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 fast-
acting fuse with a maximum rating of 15A in the positive
input lead.
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 polymer and ceramic
capacitors 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.
