CUI Inc │ SERIES: PVB3-D │ DESCRIPTION: DC-DC CONVERTER date 08/12/2015 │ page 5 of 6
Note: 1. Minimum load shouldn't be less than 5%, otherwise ripple may increase dramatically. Operation under minimum load will not damage the converter, however, they may
not meet all specications listed.
2. Maximum capacitive load is tested at input voltage range and full load.
3. All specications are measured at Ta=25°C, humidity<75%, nominal input voltage and rated output load unless otherwise specied.
1. Output load requirement
To ensure this module can operate efciently and reliably, the minimum output load may not be less than 5% of the full load during
operation. If the actual output power is low, connect a resistor at the output end in parallel to increase the load.
2. Recommended circuit
This series has been tested according to the following recommended testing circuit before leaving the factory. This series should be
tested under load (see Figure 2 & Table 2). If you want to further decrease the input/output ripple, you can increase the capacitance
accordingly or choose capacitors with low ESR. However, the capacitance of the output lter capacitor must be appropriate. If the
capacitance is too high, a startup problem might arise. For every channel of the output, to ensure safe and reliable operation, the
maximum capacitance must be less than the maximum capacitive load (see Table 3).
3. Input Current
When it is used in an unregulated condition, make sure that the input uctuations and ripple voltage do not exceed the module
standard. Refer to Figure 3 and Table 4 for the startup current of this dc-dc module.
