Notes:
(1) All parameters measured at Tc=+25ºC ambient, Vin = Vnom,
maximum rated load, unless otherwise noted. Refer to CALEX
Application Notes for denition of terms, measurement circuits
and other information.
(2) External fusing should be used for system protection in the event
of a catastrophic failure. See CALEX Application Note 9 in the
Calex DC/DC Catalog to determine the correct fuse.
(3) Output noise is measured with a 10µF ceramic capacitor and a
1µF ceramic capacitor connected across the output pins. The
fundamental component of noise is at the switching frequency.
Using smaller value capacitors will make the output noise slightly
higher. Bandwidth limit is 20 MHz. In system board design high-
voltage capacitors between input and output from 1000pF to
6800pF can be used to reduce common-mode noise.
(4) Load Transient Overshoot is the output voltage peak amplitude,
referenced to the nal value, due to a step load change from
50% of maximum load to 75% of maximum load. “Load Transient
Overshoot” and “Dynamic Response” are the same specication.
Load Transient Recovery Time is the time it takes the output
to return to the specied voltage error band centered around
the nal value. Transient response may degrade at low load
currents.
(5) Temperature coefcient is dened for case temperatures. Output
voltage deviation is calculated as the maximum resulting from
either 1) 25ºC case to maximum operating case temperature, or
2) 25ºC case to minimum operating case temperature.
(6) Load regulation is dened as the output voltage change resulting
from a load current change from minimum to maximum. The
voltage is measured at the output pins.
(7) When an external ON/OFF switch is used, such as an open
collector switch, logic high requires the switch to be high-
impedance. Switch leakage currents greater than 10µA may be
sufcient to trigger the ON/OFF to the logic-low state.
(8) Thermal impedance is tested with the converter mounted
vertically and facing another printed circuit board 1/2 inch away.
Thermal impedance is approximately 9ºC/W.
(9) Water washability - Calex DC/DC converters are designed
to withstand most solder/wash processes. Careful attention
should be used when assessing the applicability in your specic
manufacturing process. Converters are not hermetically sealed.
(10) The input impedance on these units must be kept to a maximum of
100mΩ. In order to support this requirement, this converter needs
55µF of capacitance (low ESR) for every 1.0µH of inductance
between the power source and the DC/DC converter.
(11) The range between 1V as maximum turn off voltage and 3V as
minimum turn on voltage is considered the dead-band. Operation
in the dead-band is not recommended.
(12) Refer to Calex Application Note 4 for methods to apply Remote
Sense and Trim.
(13) Specications subject to change without notice.
(14) RoHS Compliance:
See Calex Website www.calex.com/RoHS.html for the complete
RoHS Compliance statement.
The RoHS marking is as follows.
