Unless otherwise specified, catalogue parameters are measured at 48 VDC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. Ripple and noise are measured with 20 MHz bandwidth using a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors. Voltage tolerance includes set-up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
