The input reflected ripple is measured with a current probe and oscilloscope. The ripple current is the current through the
12uH inductor.
The output ripple measurement is made approximately 9 cm (3.5 in.) from the power module using an oscilloscope and
BNC socket. The capacitor Cext is located about 5 cm (2 in.) from the power module; its value varies from code to code
and is found on the electrical data page for the power module of interest under the ripple & noise voltage specification in
the Notes & Conditions column.
Reliability
The power modules are designed using TDK Innoveta’s stringent design guidelines for
component derating, product qualification, and design reviews. Early failures are screened out by
both burn-in and an automated final test.
Improper handling or cleaning processes can adversely affect the appearance, testability, and
reliability of the power modules. Contact Innoveta technical support for guidance regarding
proper handling, cleaning, and soldering of TDK Innoveta’s power modules.
