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 3 and 6), with either output grounded. The
Common (pin 4) should be left open. Minimum 20% loading is recom-
mended under these conditions.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All BWR 5 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 low-ESR, tantalum or electrolytic capacitors across the input
and/or output terminals. Output capacitors should be connected between
their respective output pin (pin 3 or 6) and Common (pin 4) as shown in
Figure 2. The capacitors should be located as close to the power convert-
ers as possible. Typical values are listed below. In many applications, using
values greater than those listed will yield better results.
To Reduce Input Ripple
"D24" Models 20µF, 50V
"D48" Models 10µF, 100V
To Reduce Output Ripple
±5V Outputs 47µF, 10V, Low ESR
±12/15V Outputs 33µF, 20V, Low ESR
In critical, space-sensitive applications, MPS may be able to tailor the inter-
nal input/output fi ltering of these units to meet your specifi c requirements.

➀ These power converters require a minimum 20% 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 on request. Contact MPS Applications Engineering for details.
➂ Units can be screened or modifi ed for higher guaranteed isolation voltages.
