Description
The NXA025 series SMT (surface-mount technology) power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up
to 25A of output current with full load efficiency of 93% at 3.3Vdc output voltage. These modules provide a precisely
regulated output voltage from 0.8Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Their open-frame construction
and small footprint enable designers to develop cost- and space-efficient solutions. Standard features include remote
On/Off, adjustable output voltage, remote sense, active current sharing between parallel modules, output voltage
sequencing of multiple modules, overcurrent, overvoltage, 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 being part of a
complex 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 fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 30A
(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.
