The input side of the DC/DC converter is equipped with a bulk capacitor which keeps the output voltage alive for a 
certain period of time when the input voltage dips or is removed. The bulk capacitor can be discharged by loading the 
DC/DC converter on the output side or through a load which is parallel to the input. There is no protection in the 
DC/DC converter which prevents current from flowing back to the input terminals. If prevention is needed, an external 
diode should be used.
