Description
The ESTW015A0F, Eighth-brick power modules are cost optimized isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 15A of output
current and provide a precisely regulated output voltage over a wide range of input voltages (Vin = 36 -75Vdc). The module achieves full
load efficiency of 91% at 3.3Vdc output voltage. The open frame modules construction, available in through-hole packaging, enable
designers to develop cost- and space-efficient solutions. Standard features include remote On/Off, remote sense, output voltage
adjustment, overvoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature protection.

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 the device reliability.

CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to an integrated part of
sophisticated power architectures. 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 fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 5 A
(see Safety Considerations section). 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 sheet for further information.

1. The module has an adaptable extended Turn-On Delay interval, Tdelay, of 25mS. The extended Tdelay will occur when the module restarts following either: 1) the rapid cycling
of Vin from normal levels to less than the Input Undervoltage Lockout (which causes module shutdown), and then back to normal; or 2) toggling the on/off signal from on
to off and back to on without removing the input voltage. The normal Turn-On Delay interval, Tdelay, will occur whenever a module restarts with input voltage removed
from the module for the preceding 1 second.
