Noise is measured per CALEX Application Notes. Measurement
bandwidth is 0-20 MHz for peak-peak measurements, 0 kHz
to MHz for RMS measurements. Output noise is measured
with a 0.0µF / 00V ceramic capacitor in parallel with a µF /
35V Tantalum capacitor, inch from the output pins to simulate
standard PCB decoupling capacitance.

10 Watt NT Single Series DC/DC Converters
Application Information
General Information
Adequate heat sinking and full filtering on both the input and
output are included in he 0 Watt NT Single Series, preventing
the need for additional components and head sinking in most
applications.
Full overload protection is provided by independent pulse-by-
pulse current limiting. These protection freatures assure you
that our 0 Watt Single will provide zero failure rate operation.
A fully five-sided shielded, sealed, water washable case is
standard along with specified operation over the full industrial
temperature range of -40 to +90 ºC.
Applying the Input
Figure shows the recommended connections for the 0 Watt
NT Single DC/DC converter. A fuse is recommended to protect
the input circuit and should not be omitted. The fuse serves an
important purpose in preventing unlimited current from flowing
in the case of a catastrophic system failure. See our application
note on input fuse selection for more information.
No external capacitance on the input is required for normal
operation in fact, it can degrade the converter’s performance.
If extra filtering is desired on the input, see the low noise input
circuit in Figure 2.
Extremely low ESR capacitors (<0.25 ohms) should not be used
at the input. This will cause peaking of the input filter’s transfer
function and actually degrade the filter’s performance.
If desired, extra transient overvoltage protection may be added
directly at the converter’s input pins as shown in Figure .
No external capacitance on the output is required for normal
operation. In fact, it can degrade the converter’s performance.
See our application note “Understanding DC/DC Converters
Output Impedance” and the low noise circuits for more
information. The usual to 0 µF aluminum or tantalum and
0. to 0.00 µF bypasses may be used around your PCB as
required without harm.
Extra transient overvoltage protection may be added directly
at the converter’s output pins as shown in Figure .
½

Figure 2.
For very low noise applications the circuits shown above can be
used. The input current ripple will be reduced approximately 30
dB of the original value while the output noise will be reduced
to below 0 mV P-P. Do not use the biggest ESR capacitors
that you can find in these circuits. Large capacitors can cause
severe peaking in the filter’s transfer function and may actually
make the conducted noise worse.
Isolation - Case Grounding
The input and output sections are fully floating from each other.
They may be operated fully floating or with a common ground.
If the input and output sections are connected either directly
at the converter or at some remote location from the converter
it is suggested that a to 0 µF, 0.5 to 5 ohm ESR capacitor
be used directly at the converter output pins. This capacitor
prevents any common mode switching currents from showing
up at the converter’s output as normal mode output noise. Do
not use the lowest ESR, Biggest value capacitor that you can
find! This can only lead to reduced system performance or
oscillation.
The case serves not only as a head sink but also as an EMI
shield. The 0.06 inch thick copper provides >25 dB of
absorption loss to both electromagnetic and electric fields at
200 kHz, while at the same time providing about 30% more
effective heat sinking than competitive 0.0 inch thick steel
cases.
The case shield is tied to the -input pin. This connection is
shown on the block diagram. The case is floating from output,
coupled only by the 400 pF of isolation capacitance. This low
capacitance insures that any AC common mode noise on the
inputs is not transferred to your output circuits.
Compare this isolation capacitance vale to the 600 to 2000 pF
found on competitive designs and you’ll see that with CALEX
you are getting the best DC and AC isolation available. After
all, you are buying an isolated DC/DC converter to cut ground
loops. Don’t let the isolation capacitance add them back in.

Standard connections for the 0 Watt NT Single. The input fuse
should not be omitted. The overvoltage diodes D and D2 may be
added to the circuit directly at the converter to provide transient
protection to your circuit.
Applying the Output
The output is simply connected to your application circuit and
away you go! If extra low output noise is required for your
application the circuit shown in Figure 2 may be used to reduce
the output noise to below 0 mV P-P.

10 Watt NT Single Series DC/DC Converters
Temperature Derating
The NT Single series can operate up to 90ºC case temperature
with derating. Case temperature may be roughly calculated
from ambient by knowing that the 0 Watt NT Singles case
temperature rise is approximately 0ºC per package watt
dissipated.
For example: if a 24 Volt input converter was delivering 7 Watts
at 24 Volts input, at what ambient could it expect to run with no
moving air and no extra sinking.
Efficiency for the NT Single is approximately 84%. Check the
product curves for exact information. This leads to an input
power of about 8.3 Watts. There fore, the case dissipation is
8.3 Watts (input power) minus 7 Watts (output power) or .3
Watts. The case temperature rise would be .3 Watts x 5 =
20 ºC. This number is subtracted from the maximum case
temperature of 90ºC to get 70ºC.
This is a rough approximation of the maximum ambient
temperature. Because of the difficulty of defining ambient
temperature and the possibility that the load’s dissipation may
actually increase the local ambient temperature significantly or
the convection cooling is suppressed by physical placement
of the module, these calculations should be verified by actual
measurement of operating temperature and your circuit’s exact
efficiency (efficiency depends on both line input and load value
before committing to a production design.
