Design Considerations (continued)
Output Filtering
The Austin SuperLynx TM II 12V SIPmodule 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.
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.
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.
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 6A in the
positive input lead
