Design Considerations (continued)
Output Filtering
The ATL010A0X43-SR 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.
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.
