Description
The EVW020A0S6R0, Eighth-brick low-height power module is an isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 20A of
output current and provide a precisely regulated output voltage of 6.0Vdc over a wide range of input voltages (VIN = 36 75Vdc). The modules achieve typical full load efficiency of 92%. The module offers wide output voltage trim (5.0Vdc to 7.0Vdc),
allowing designers to use the module with a wide variety of output LDOs for final load voltage. The open frame modules
construction, available in both surface-mount and 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 6 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.
