Output Connections and Considerations
leads must be protected for conditions such as lead reversal,
noise pickup, open circuit or excessive output lead resistance
between the sense point and the converters output terminals.
For applications that may draw more than the rated current, a
fast-acting electronic circuit breaker must be utilized to protect
the converter. Under no circumstance should the rated current be
exceeded. Utilizing or testing of current limit or short circuit current
will damage the converter. Ensure that the total output capacitance
connected to the converter does not exceed the limits on Page 16,
“Maximum Output Capacitance”, of the design guide.
The permissible load current must never be exceeded during
normal, abnormal or test conditions. Converters subject to dynamic
loading exceeding 25% of rated current must be reviewed by
Vicor Applications Engineering to ensure that the converter will
operate properly.
Under dynamic-load, light-load or no-load conditions, the converter
may emit audible noise. Converters that utilize remote sense may
require compensation circuitry to offset the phase lag caused by
the external output leads and load impedance. Remote-Sense
