Without Derating
With Derating
All TWR A-Series 12-15 Watt DC-DC Converters achieve their rated ripple
and noise specifications without the use of external inputꢀoutput capaci-
tors. In critical applications, inputꢀoutput ripple and noise may be further
reduced by installing electrolytic capacitors across the input terminals andꢀ
or low-ESR tantalum or electrolytic capacitors across the output terminals.
Output capacitors should be connected between their respective output pin
(pin 5, 6 or 8) and Common (pin 7) as shown in Figure 2. The caps should
be located as close to the power converters as possible. Typical values are
listed below. In many applications, using values greater than those listed
will yield better results.

These power converters require a minimum 1ꢁ% loading on their primary output and a
minimum 2ꢁ% loading on their auxiliary outputs to maintain specified regulation. Opera-
tion under no-load conditions will not damage these devices; however they may not meet
all listed specifications.
Application-specific internal inputꢀoutput filtering can be recommended and perhaps
added internally upon request. Contact Murato Power Solutions Applications Engineering
for details.
In critical, space-sensitive applications, Murata Power Solutions may be
able to tailor the internal inputꢀoutput filtering of these units to meet your
specific requirements. Contact our Applications Engineering Group for
additional details.
Devices can be screened or modified for higher guaranteed isolation voltages.
