Specifications typical at Ta=+25℃, resistive load, nominal input voltage and rated output current unless otherwise noted.
Transient recovery time is measured to within 1% error band for a step change in output load of 75% to 100%
Ripple & Noise measurement bandwidth is 0-20MHz.
These power converters require a minimum output loading to maintain specified regulation, operation under no-load conditions will not damage these modules;
however they may not meet all specifications listed.
All DC/DC converters should be externally fused at the front end for protection.
Other input and output voltage may be available, please contact factory.
To order the converter without Remote On/Off function, please add
suffix N
(e.g.MKW3021-N) to order code.
To order the converter with heatsink, please add
suffix H
(e.g. MKW3021H) to order code.
That “natural convection” is about 20LFM but is not equal to still air (0 LFM).
Specifications subject to change without notice.

Test Setup
MKW3000 SERIES
DC/DC CONVERTER 20W
Input Reflected-Ripple Current Test Setup
Input reflected-ripple current is measured with a inductor Lin (4.7µH) and Cin (220uF, ESR < 1.0 at 100 KHz) to simulate source impedance.
Capacitor Cin, offsets possible battery impedance. Current ripple is measured at the input terminals of the module, measurement bandwidth is 0-500 KHz.

Technical Notes
Remote On/Off
Positive logic remote on/off turns the module on during a logic high voltage on the remote on/off pin, and off during a logic low. To turn the power module on and off,
the user must supply a switch to control the voltage between the on/off terminal and the -Vin terminal. The switch can be an open collector or equivalent.
A logic low is -0V to 1.0V. A logic high is 2.5V to 100V. The maximum sink current at on/off terminal during a logic low is -100 µA. The maximum allowable leakage
current of the switch at on/off terminal (2.5 to 100V) is 5µA.
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condition, the unit is equipped with internal current limiting circuitry and can endure current limiting for an unlimited
duration. At the point of current-limit inception, the unit shifts from voltage control to current control. The unit operates normally once the output current is brought back
into its specified range.
Overvoltage Protection
The output overvoltage clamp consists of control circuitry, which is independent of the primary regulation loop, that monitors the voltage on the output terminals.
The control loop of the clamp has a higher voltage set point than the primary loop. This provides a redundant voltage control that reduces the risk of output
overvoltage. The OVP level can be found in the output data.
Input Source Impedance
The power module should be connected to a low ac-impedance input source. Highly inductive source impedances can affect the stability of the power module.
In applications where power is supplied over long lines and output loading is high, it may be necessary to use a capacitor at the input to ensure startup.
Capacitor mounted close to the power module helps ensure stability of the unit, it is recommended to use a good quality low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR <
1.0 at 100 KHz) capacitor of a 22µF for the 12V input devices and a 6.8µF for the 24V and 48V devices.

Output Ripple Reduction
A good quality low ESR capacitor placed as close as practicable across the load will give the best ripple and noise performance. To reduce output ripple, it is
recommended to use 4.7µF capacitors at the output.

Maximum Capacitive Load
The MKW3000 series has limitation of maximum connected capacitance at the output. The power module may be operated in current limiting mode during start-up,
affecting the ramp-up and the startup time. For optimum performance we recommend 270µF maximum capacitive load for dual outputs, 680µF capacitive load for
12V & 15V outputs and 6800µF capacitive load for 3.3V & 5V outputs. The maximum capacitance can be found in the data sheet.
Thermal Considerations
Many conditions affect the thermal performance of the power module, such as orientation, airflow over the module and board spacing. To avoid exceeding the
maximum temperature rating of the components inside the power module, the case temperature must be kept below 100℃.
The derating curves are determined from measurements obtained in a test setup.
