Revision 2.4     
10.3.2.11  DC/DC Converter Capacitive Loading 
The DC/DC converters are stable and meet all requirements with the following capacitive 
loading ranges. Minimum capacitive loading applies to static load only. 
Table 81. Capacitive Loading Conditions 
 
10.3.2.12  DC/DC Converters Closed Loop Stability 
Each DC/DC converter is unconditionally stable under all line/load/transient load conditions 
including capacitive load ranges specified in Section 10.3.2.11. A minimum of: 45 degrees 
phase margin and -10dB-gain margin is required. The PDB provides proof of the unit’s 
closed-loop stability with local sensing through the submission of Bode plots. Closed-loop 
stability must be ensured at the maximum and minimum loads as applicable. 
10.3.2.13  Common Mode Noise 
The Common Mode noise on any output does not exceed 350mV pk-pk over the frequency 
band of 10Hz to 20MHz. 
  The measurement shall be made across a 100Ω resistor between each of DC outputs, 
including ground, at the DC power connector and chassis ground (power subsystem 
enclosure). 
  The test set-up shall use a FET probe such as Tektronix* model P6046 or equivalent. 
10.3.2.14  Ripple/Noise 
The maximum allowed ripple/noise output of each DC/DC Converter is defined in the table 
below. This is measured over a bandwidth of 0Hz to 20MHz at the PDB output connectors. A 
10µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor are placed at the point of 
measurement. 
Table 82. Ripple and Noise 
 
The test setup shall be as shown below.
