APPLICATION NOTES
External capacitance
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.

Test circuit
Control Pin
The NDL converters have a shutdown feature which enables the user to put the converter into a low power state. The control pin connects directly to the base of an internal
transistor, and the switch off mechanism for the NDL works by forward biasing this NPN transistor. If the pin is left open (high impedance), the converter will be ON (there is
no allowed low state for this pin), but once a control voltage is applied with sufficient drive current, the converter will be switched OFF. A suitable application circuit is shown
below.

(e.g. 1N4001) is required to provide high impedence when the signal is
low. From the NDL specification, the drive current to operate this function
is recommended to be 10mA, and hence the value of R

Pin 8 (CS)
This pin provides a connection point to the main reservoir capacitor. Additional capacitance can be added from this pin to pin 7. Any lower ESR capacitor will remove ripple
and noise to some degree. The benefit of this access point over simple additional output capacitance is that it precedes the output filter inductor. Maximum values of external
capacitance will be dependent on the output voltage, the loading of the converter and the desired ripple figure. Values can be up to 100µF.
Minimum load
The minimum load for correct operation is 25% of the full rated load across the specified input voltage range. Lower loads may cause a significant increase in output ripple
and may cause the output voltage to exceed its specification transiently during power-down when the input voltage also falls below its rated minimum.
