➀ These power converters require a minimum 10% loading to maintain specifi ed regulation.
Operation under no-load conditions will not damage these devices; however they may not
meet all listed specifi cations.
➁ Application-specifi c internal input/output fi ltering can be recommended and perhaps added
internally upon request. Contact DATEL Applications Engineering for details.
➂ Devices can be screened or modifi ed for higher guaranteed isolation voltages.
Contact DATEL Applications Engineering for details.
➃ Devices can be warranted or screened for lower-temperature operation.
Contact DATEL Applications Engineering for details. See DATEL's new BST 3W Models
for guaranteed operation to –40°C.
These are stress ratings. Exposure of devices to any of these conditions may adversely
affect long-term reliability. Proper operation under conditions other than those listed in the
Performance/Functional Specifi cations Table is not implied.

TECHNICAL NOTES
Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "fl oating." Any
BWR model may be confi gured to produce an output of 10V, 24V or 30V
(for ±5V, ±12V or ±15V models, respectively) by applying the load across
the +Output and –Output pins (pins 6 and 8), with either output grounded.
The Common (pins 5 and 7) should be left open. Minimum 20% loading is
recommended under these conditions.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All BWR 3 Watt DC/DC Converters achieve their rated ripple and noise
specifi cations without the use of external input/output capacitors. In critical
applications, input/output ripple and noise may be further reduced by install-
ing electrolytic capacitors across the input terminals and/or low-ESR tanta-
lum or electrolytic capacitors across the output terminals. Output capacitors
should be connected between their respective output pin (pin 6 or 8) and
Common (pins 5 and 7) as shown in Figure 2. The caps should be located
as close to the power converters as possible. Typical values are listed in the
tables below. In many applications, using values greater than those listed
will yield better results.
To Reduce Input Ripple
"D5" Models 47µF, 15V
"D12" Models 10µF, 35V
"D48" Models 4.7µF, 100V
To Reduce Output Ripple
±5V Outputs 47µF, 10V, Low ESR
±12/15V Outputs 22µF, 20V, Low ESR
In critical, space-sensitive applications, DATEL may be able to tailor the inter-
nal input/output fi ltering of these units to meet your specifi c requirements.
