Performance/Functional Specifi cations
Typical @ TA = +25°C under nominal line voltage and full-load conditions unless noted. ➀
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 The current limit inception point is dependent on the input voltage. Therefore, it is possible
to draw current beyond the rated capacity. Users should fully characterize their load conditions.

Input Reverse-Polarity Protection Current must be <2A. Brief duration
only. Fusing recommended.
Output Overvoltage Protection None
Output Current Maximum current and short-circuit
duration are model dependent. “D12”
and “D48” models can withstand
sustained output short circuits.
Storage Temperature –55 to +100°C
Lead Temperature (soldering, 10 sec.) +280°C
These are stress ratings. Exposure of devices to greater than 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 or recommended.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are “fl oating.” Any
BST 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 (pin 6) and –Output (pin 8), with either output grounded. The Common
(pins 5 and 7) should be left open (unconnected). Minimum 20% loading is
recommended under these conditions.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All BST 3 Watt DC/DC Converters achieve their rated ripple and noise specifi ca-
tions without the use of external input/output capacitors. In critical applications,
input/output ripple and noise may be further reduced by installing electrolytic
capacitors across the input terminals and/or low-ESR tantalum or electrolytic
capacitors across the output terminals. Output capacitors should be con-
nected between their respective output pin (pins 6 and 8) and Common (pins5
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.

"D12" Models 10μF, 35V
