Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This encapsulated power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone
operation to an integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The
safety agencies require a normal-blow, dc fuse with a maximum rating of 5 A in series with the ungrounded input
lead. Based on the information provided in this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the
same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data for further information.

For the converter output to be considered meeting the
requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), the
input must meet SELV requirements.
If the input meets extra-low voltage (ELV) requirements, then the converter’s output is considered ELV.

Feature Descriptions
Remote On/Off
Output Overvoltage Clamp
Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic
remote on/off turns the module on during a logic high
voltage on the REMOTE ON/OFF pin, and off during a
logic low. Negative logic remote on/off, suffix code “1,”
turns the module off during a logic high and on during a
logic low.
The output overvoltage clamp consists of control circuitry, independent of the primary regulation loop, that
monitors the voltage on the output terminals. The control loop of the clamp has a higher voltage set point
than the primary loop (see Feature Specifications
table). This provides a redundant voltage control that
reduces the risk of output overvoltage.
Current Limit
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condition, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting
circuitry. At the point of current-limit inception, the unit
shifts from voltage control to current control. If the output voltage is pulled very low during a severe fault, the
current-limit circuit can exhibit either foldback or
tailout characteristics (output current decrease or
increase). The unit operates normally once the output
current is brought back into its specified range.
To turn the power module on and off, the user must
supply a switch to control the voltage between the on/
off terminal and the VI(–) terminal (Von/off). The switch
can be an open collector or equivalent (see Figure 21).
A logic low is Von/off = 0 V to 1.2 V. The maximum Ion/off
during a logic low is 1 mA. The switch should maintain
a logic low voltage while sinking 1 mA.
During a logic high, the maximum Von/off generated by
the power module is 10 V. The maximum allowable
leakage current of the switch at Von/off = 10 V is 50 µA.

Output Voltage Set-Point Adjustment
+
Ion/off
The output voltage adjustment feature provides the
capability of increasing or decreasing the output voltage set point of a module. This can be accomplished
by using an external resistor connected between the
TRIM pin and either the VO1(+) or common pins. With
an external resistor between the TRIM and common
pins (Radj-up), the output voltage set point (VO, adj)
increases.

Figure 22. Thermal Test Setup
The 25 W triple output power modules are designed to
operate in a variety of thermal environments. As with
any electronic component, sufficient cooling must be
provided to ensure reliable operation. Heat dissipating
components inside the module are thermally coupled
to the case to enable heat removal by conduction, convection, and radiation to the surrounding environment.
Lineage Power
The thermal data presented is based on measurements taken in a wind tunnel. The test setup shown in
Figure 22 was used to collect data. Actual performance
can vary depending on the particular application
environment.

Thermal Considerations (continued)
Basic Thermal Performance
The maximum operating temperature of the DC025 Triple Output-Series Power Modules at a given operating
condition can be predicted by combining the power dissipation curves (Figures 23 through 27), the power derating curve (Figure 28), and the thermal resistance
curve (Figure 28).
Use Figures 23 through 28 and the steps below to predict the safe operating region for many different operating and environmental conditions.
1. Calculate the total output power.
POtotal = (IO1 x VO1) + (IO2 x VO2) + (IO3 x VO3)
2. Use POtotal with the appropriate figure (Figure 23
or 25) to determine the fixed losses (PP) associated with operating at POtotal. These losses are
independent of which output the load is being
drawn from.
3. Use the desired output current (IO1) with Figure 25
to determine PS1, which is the additional power
being dissipated due to loading of the main output.
4. Repeat Step 3 for outputs 2 and 3 using the appropriate figure (Figure 23 or 27) to determine PS2 and
PS3, which is the power dissipated due to loading of
the auxiliary outputs.
5. Find the total power dissipated (PDtotal) by adding
the four power dissipations obtained in Steps 2
through 4.
PDtotal = PP + PS1 + PS2 + PS3
6. Use the estimated total power dissipated (PDtotal)
along with Figure 28 to determine the maximum
ambient temperature allowable for a given air
velocity.
Data Sheet
April 2009
Figure 28 shows that in natural convection the maximum operating ambient temperature for this module is
approximately 66 °C.
Keep in mind that the procedure above provides
approximations of the temperature and air velocities
required to keep the case temperature below its maximum rating. The maximum case temperature, as monitored at the point shown in Figure 22, should be
maintained at 100 °C or less under all conditions.
Air Velocity
The air velocity required to maintain a desired maximum case temperature for a given power dissipation
and ambient temperature can be calculated using
Figure 28 and the following equation:
Cmax – T A
θ CA = T
---------------------------P Dtotal
where:
■
θCA is the thermal resistance from case-to-ambient
air (°C/W)
■
TCmax is the desired maximum case temperature (°C)
■
TA is the ambient inlet temperature (°C)
■
PDtotal is the total power dissipated by the module
(W) at the desired operating condition
For example, to maintain a maximum case temperature
of 85 °C with an ambient inlet temperature of 65 °C and
a power dissipation of 4.86 W, the thermal resistance is:
85 °C – 65 °C
θ CA ð ------------------------------------- = 4.1°C/W
4.86 W
This corresponds to an airflow greater than 0.38 ms–1
(75 fpm) in Figure 28.
For example, consider the DC025ABK power module
operating with 27 V input and output currents
IO1 = 2.5 A, IO2 = 0.5 A, IO3 = 0.5 A.
The total output power (POtotal) is 24.5 W. The total
power dissipation is PDtotal = 4.86 W, which is obtained
by adding:

where PD is the power dissipated by the module, θCS
represents the interfacial contact resistance between
the module and the sink, and θSA is the sink-to-ambient
thermal impedance (°C/W). For thermal greases or
foils, a value of θCS = 0.1 °C/W to 0.3 °C/W is typical.
The required θSA is calculated from the following equation:
θ SA
C – TA
= T
---------------- – θ CS
P D total
Note that this equation assumes that all dissipated
power must be shed by the sink. Depending on the
user-defined application environment, a more accurate
model including heat transfer from the sides and rear of
the module can be used. This equation provides a conservative estimate in such instances.
