ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation
of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the
specs. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

1. The power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse (e.g. 15A , 250V fast blow) is
recommended.
2. Refer to Figure 1 for the input reflected ripple current test setup.
3. Refer to Figure 2 for the output ripple test setup.
4. OCP and OVP protection modes are latching.
5. Refer to Figure 5 for the efficiency curves.
6. Refer to the output transient characteristics on Figures 10. For 100% to 0% step load deviation – a
min of 660uF capacitor on the output is required to prevent the module into going OVP.
7. For Output Voltage Adjustment setup, refer to Figures 3 and 4. For Vin < 39V, the output can only be
trimmed up 5% and the minimum OVP clamp is reduced to 12.75V.
8. “T” suffix is a custom module tuned to operate with around 5,760 uF of output capacitance (15pcs
OSCON 16SVP330M caps and 3pcs OSCON 16SP270M connected in parallel).
