The case pin is an electrical connection to the metal case or baseplate. It can be used to improve the EMC performance in certain applications by connecting the case to ground. If not used, left it open.

This feature moves the effective output voltage regulation point from the output of the unit to the point of connection of the remote sense pins. This feature automatically adjusts the real output voltage in order to compensate for voltage drops in distribution and maintain a regulated voltage at the point of load. If the remote sense feature is not to be used, the sense pins should be connected locally. The +Sense pin should be connected to the +Vout pin at the module and the -Sense pin should be connected to the -Vout pin at the module. Wire between +Sense and +Vout and between -Sense and –Vout as short as possible. Loop wiring should be avoided. The converter might become unstable by noise coming from poor wiring. Please refer to application for further information.

Through “Products”, you can see “Not Recommended for New Designs(NRND)” and “EOL Products”.

Products listed on NRND (Not Recommended for New Design) list means these models will be gradually discontinued and replaced in the future, and may start the EOL procedure.

Products listed on EOL (END of LIFE) list means there will be no more manufacturing and selling for those. However, the after service will still be carried out.

The Remote On/Off or Remote or On/Off or On/Off Control pin is commonly used for controlling the power module ON or OFF. Please refer to the application note for further information.

Positive control logic means that logic 0 (low) disables the converter and logic 1 (high) enables the converter.

Negative control logic means that logic 0 (low) enables the converter (module ON) and logic 1 (high) disables the converter (module OFF).

Please refer to the datasheets and the application notes for details.

The no load input current is the current drawn by the converter from the supply while it is unloaded (the converter is active and has an output voltage, but no output current), also called quiescent current or standby current.

The off converter input current is the residual current drawn by the converter from the supply when it is disabled by using the control pin, also called shutdown current or shutdown input idle current.

The on/off current is the current drawn by converter through the control pin in order to keep it in the disabled state (enable state for negative logic control), also called control pin current.

The maximum voltage that control pin could apply varies from converter series to converter series. Do not connect an unused control pin to +Vin unless the maximum allowed control pin voltage can withstand the voltage stress. Refer to the datasheets and application notes for guidance.

2. Using a multiple output unit as a single output unit

3. Other usage

* Currents of 12V and 24V output flow to 0V line. Please make sure that the sum of these values should not be exceeded the rated current of DC-DC converter.

**Please refer to the application note for more application.**

Some unregulated converters feature power sharing, where all or some of the load can be taken from just one output pin.

Regulated dual output converters regulate the voltage between +Vout and -Vout and allow the common pin to float. (So if a +/-15V is asymmetrically loaded with, say +80%, -20%, then the output voltage difference will stay 30V, but the common pin will drift so that the output voltage will measure +13, -17V, for example). If a balanced output is required with unbalanced load, then use post-regulation to stabilize the outputs.

Please see cross regulation specification in datasheet for detail.

If the output voltage is adjusted, the output power and output current must be considered. Always ensure that the output power of the module remains at or below the maximum rated power. Also be aware that if Vo.set is below nominal value, Pout.max will also decrease accordingly because Io.max is an absolute limit. Thus, Pout.max = Vo.set x Io.max is also an absolute limit.

1. TRIM UP, the output voltage exceeds the nominal voltage

Please be aware Maximum output power = Rated output voltage x Rated output current. The power supply is not allowed to be operated in the output power that exceeds the maximum output power because the power supply may get broken by heating the internal components.

ex.)The case that the output voltage of the CHB100W-24S05 is changed to 5.2V

The maximum output current that the power supply is allowed to be operated;

= Maximum output power / Output voltage setting

=100W / 5.2V

=19.23A

2. TRIM DOWN, the output voltage is less than the nominal voltage

The output current must be less than the rated current because the power supply might get broken by heating the internal components.

ex.)The case that the output voltage of the CHB100W-24S05 is changed to 4.8V

Maximum output current = 20A

As an isolated DC/DC converter has no electrical connection between the input and output, it does not matter if +Vin is connected to a positive supply and -Vin is connected to ground or if +Vin is connected to ground and -Vin is connected to a negative supply. This is useful in the telecommunications industry, for example, where a standard -48V supply can be used to generate a +5V output (+Vin = ground, -Vin = - 48V, +Vout = 5V, -Vout = ground).

Please do not apply this to a non-isolated switching regulator.

Generally, a DC/DC converter has no reverse polarity protection function inside. It will cause converters damaged if connected the wrong way around. If it is possible or likely that the converter could be reverse polarity connected, then a proper circuit must be used to protect the converter (refer to the application notes).

The ratio refers to the input voltage range. For example:

If a power supply is operated outside the spec of the input voltage range, it may run into problem as the following. Therefore, it is not allowed to be operated outside the spec of the input voltage range.

1. Operated at lower than the spec of the input voltage range

Basically, the power supply can not be operated at lower than the spec of the input voltage range. Even if the power supply work, the power supply may get broken because the input current that is increased may exceed the rated current of internal components.

2. Operated at higher than the spec of the input voltage range

If the power supply is operated at higher than the spec of the input voltage range, it may get broken because the voltage that is applied to some internal components may exceed the rated voltage of them.
