DESCRIPTION
The NDY series is a range of low profile DC/DC
converters offering a single regulated output over a
2:1 input voltage range. All parts deliver 3W output
power up to 85ºC without heatsinking, except the
4.5V to 9V input voltage range which should be
derated to 2W at the lower input voltage. A flyback
oscillator design with isolated feedback is used to
give regulation over the full operating range of 25%
to 100% of full load. It is strongly recommended
that external capacitors be used on input and
output to guarantee performance over full load and
input voltage range.

TECHNICAL NOTES
ISOLATION VOLTAGE
‘Hi Pot Test’, ‘Flash Tested’, ‘Withstand Voltage’, ‘Proof Voltage’, ‘Dielectric Withstand Voltage’ & ‘Isolation Test Voltage’ are all terms that relate to the same thing, a test voltage,
applied for a specified time, across a component designed to provide electrical isolation, to verify the integrity of that isolation.
C&D Technologies NDY series of DC/DC converters are all 100% production tested at their stated isolation voltage. This is 1kVDC for 1 second.
A question commonly asked is, “What is the continuous voltage that can be applied across the part in normal operation?”
For a part holding no specific agency approvals, such as the NDY series, both input and output should normally be maintained within SELV limits i.e. less than 42.4V peak, or
60VDC. The isolation test voltage represents a measure of immunity to transient voltages and the part should never be used as an element of a safety isolation system. The part
could be expected to function correctly with several hundred volts offset applied continuously across the isolation barrier; but then the circuitry on both sides of the barrier must
be regarded as operating at an unsafe voltage and further isolation/insulation systems must form a barrier between these circuits and any user-accessible circuitry according to
safety standard requirements.
REPEATED HIGH-VOLTAGE ISOLATION TESTING
It is well known that repeated high-voltage isolation testing of a barrier component can actually degrade isolation capability, to a lesser or greater degree depending on materials,
construction and environment. The NDY series has an EI ferrite core, with no additional insulation between primary and secondary windings of enameled wire. While parts can be
expected to withstand several times the stated test voltage, the isolation capability does depend on the wire insulation. Any material, including this enamel (typically polyurethane)
is susceptible to eventual chemical degradation when subject to very high applied voltages thus implying that the number of tests should be strictly limited. We therefore strongly
advise against repeated high voltage isolation testing, but if it is absolutely required, that the voltage be reduced by 20% from specified test voltage.
This consideration equally applies to agency recognized parts rated for better than functional isolation where the wire enamel insulation is always supplemented by a further
insulation system of physical spacing or barriers.

APPLICATION NOTES
Recommended input & output capacitors
Although these converters will work without external capacitors, they are necessary in
order to guarantee the full parametric performance over the full line and load range. All
parts have been tested and characterized using the following values and test circuit.

Output load
The minimum rated load across the whole input voltage range is 25% of the full load output. It is important to take care that the load does not fall below this as the output ripple
will greatly increase. While this condition will not harm the device the resultant increase in output ripple could cause customers’ application to malfunction.
