DESCRIPTION
The NDL series is a range of high 
performance miniature DC-DC converters 
having regulated outputs over the wide 
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C. The 
input voltage range is 2:1 with the output 
power at 2 watts and the input to output 
isolation is 1kVDC. Continuous short circuit 
protection, external control and extremely 
small SIP packaging provide state of the art 
functionality. The use of ceramic capacitors 
and a ceramic substrate, with a tough chip 
and wire bonded MOSFET power transistor 
die and SMD construction, provide genuine 
high reliability. Nominal input voltages of 
5,12,24 and 48V with output voltages of 
5,9,12 and 15V are available as standard 
with custom parts on request. The plastic case 
is rated to UL 94V-0 with encapsulant to UL 
94V-1. Connection pins are phosphor bronze 
with a 60/40 tin lead solder dipped finish.

1 Refer to power derating graph for operation of 5V input types at 4.5 to 6V. 
2 Measured at full load with external input/output capacitors, refer to recommended test circuit. 
3 A lower load condition is entirely safe but higher levels of output ripple will be experienced. 
4 Calculated using MIL-HDBK-217F with nominal input voltage at full load. 
5 Refer to recommended test circuit for external input/output capacitors. 
All specifications typical at TA=25°C, nominal input voltage and rated output current unless otherwise specified.

CTRL (PIN 3)
Provides an on/off function. The converter 
is on when CTRL is not connected or high 
impedance (Z). The CTRL pin will turn the 
converter off as indicated in general 
characteristics. 
CS (PIN 8)
Additional capacitance, up to 100uF can be 
added from CS to pin 7. A low ESR 
capacitor if fitted will precede the output filter 
inductor and will improve ripple and noise.
