APPLICATIONS INFORMATION: (Cont.)
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:
Certain applications and/or safety agencies may require fuses at the inputs of power conversion
components. Fuses should also be used when there is the possibility of sustained input voltage reversal
which is not current limited. For greatest safety, we recommend a fast blow fuse installed in the
ungrounded input supply line. The installer must observe all relevant safety standards and regulations.
For safety agency approvals, install the converter in compliance with the end-user safety standard.
INPUT FILTERING:
The module should be connected to a source supply of low AC impedance and high inductance in which
line inductance can affect the module stability. An input capacitor must be placed as near as possible to
the input pin of the module so to minimize input ripple voltage and ensure module stability.
OUTPUT FILTERING:
To reduce output ripple and improve the dynamic response as the step load changes, an additional
capacitor at the output must be connected. Low ESR polymer and ceramic capacitors are recommended
to improve the output ripple and dynamic response of the module.
PROGRAMMING OUTPUT VOLTAGE:
The module has an internal 0.8V±1.5% reference voltage. The output voltage can be programmed by
the dividing resistor (RFB_T and RFB_B). The output voltage can be calculated by Equation 1, resistor
choice may be referred to TABLE 2.

Soft Startup Capacitor Selection
Leave SS pin floating for default 1ms soft-start time. For longer than 1ms soft-start time, connect a
capacitance between the SS pin and the GND allows programming the startup slope of the output
voltage. A constant current of 4μA charges the external capacitor. The capacitance required for a given
soft startup time for the output voltage is given by Equation 2:
(EQ.2)
Thermal Considerations:
All of thermal testing condition is complied with JEDEC EIJ/JESD 51 Standards. Therefore, the test
board size is 30mm× 30mm× 1.6mm with 2 layers. The case temperature of module sensing point is
shown as Figure 35. Then Rth(jchoke-a) is measured with the component mounted on an effective thermal
conductivity test board on 0 LFM condition. The MUN12AD03-SEC modules are designed for using when
the case temperature is below 125°C regardless the change of output current, input/output voltage or
ambient temperature.

REFLOW PARAMETERS:
Lead-free soldering process is a standard of electronic products production. Solder alloys like Sn/Ag,
Sn/Ag/Cu and Sn/Ag/Bi are used extensively to replace the traditional Sn/Pb alloy. Sn/Ag/Cu alloy
(SAC) is recommended for this power module process. In the SAC alloy series, SAC305 is a very
popular solder alloy containing 3% Ag and 0.5% Cu and easy to obtain. Figure 36 shows an example of
the reflow profile diagram. Typically, the profile has three stages. During the initial stage from room
temperature to 150°C, the ramp rate of temperature should not be more than 3°C/sec. The soak zone
then occurs from 150°C to 200°C and should last for 60 to 120 seconds. Finally, keep at over 217°C for
60 seconds limit to melt the solder and make the peak temperature at the range from 240°C to 250°C.
It is noted that the time of peak temperature should depend on the mass of the PCB board. The reflow
profile is usually supported by the solder vendor and one should adopt it for optimization according to
various solder type and various manufacturers’ formulae.
