Description
• 2” × 1” case with 10.5 mm profile
The IMX7/IMS7 Series of board-mountable 7 Watt DC-DC
converters have been designed according to the latest
industry requirements and standards. The converters are
particularly suitable for use in mobile or stationary applications
in transport, railways, industry, or telecom, where variable
input voltages or high transient voltages are prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 8.4 V to 150 V with
six different models, the converters are available with single
and electrically-isolated double outputs from 3.3 up to 48 V
with flexible load distribution on double outputs. A shutdown
input allows remote on/off.
Features include efficient input and output filtering with good
transient and surge protection, low output ripple and noise,
consistently high efficiency over the entire input voltage range,
and high reliability as well as excellent dynamic response to
load and line changes.
The converters provide supplementary insulation with SELV
outputs as for instances required in battery-supported
systems, where the bus voltage may exceed the SELV limit of
60 V. The models 70IMX7 and 110IMX7 are CE-marked.

The circuitry is comprised of integral planar magnetics. All
components are automatically assembled and securely
soldered onto a single PCB without any wire connections.
Magnetic feedback ensures maximum reliability and
repeatability in the control loop over all operating conditions.
Careful considerations of possible thermal stresses ensure the
absence of hot spots, providing long life in environments, where
temperature cycles are a reality. The thermal design allows
operation at full load up to an ambient temperature of 85 °C in
free air without using any potting material. For extremely high
vibration environments the case has holes for screw mounting.
Several options, such as open-frame, provide a high level of
application-specific engineering and design-in flexibility.

Functional Description
03042b
The IMX7/IMS7 Series DC-DC converters are feedbackcontrolled flyback converters using current mode PWM (Pulse
Width Modulation).
Vi+ 1
In the case of single-output models, the output is directly
sensed and fed back to the primary control circuit via a pulse
transformer, resulting in tight regulation of the output voltage.
The R input is referenced to the secondary side and allows for
programming the output voltages in the range 75 to 105% of
Vo nom, using either an external resistor or an external voltage
source.

back to the primary control circuit. Close magnetic coupling is
provided by the planar construction, ensuring very good
regulation, and allowing for flexible load distribution. The Trim
input of double-output models is referenced to the primary side,
and allows for programming the output voltages in the range of
100 to 105% of Vo nom by means of an external resistor, or within
75 to 100% of Vo nom, using an external voltage source.
Current limitation is provided by the primary circuit, thus limiting
the total output current (Io nom for the single- and the sum Io1 nom
+ Io2 nom for double-output models).
The inhibit input i allows remote control of the outputs; pin i
must be connected to Vi– to activate the converter.

Input Transient Voltage Protection
In many applications transient voltages on the input of the
converter may occur and are possibly caused by short circuits
between Vi+ and Vi–, where the network inductance may
cause high energy pulses.
In order to protect the converters, transient suppressors are
fitted to the input; see table below:

overvoltage lockout at approx. 38 V
Note: Suppressor diode D is only necessary for 20IMX7 models.
To withstand 150 V transients according to 19 Pfl 1, applicable for
40IMX7 models, the same external circuitry with similar
components as for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance can be
used.
Input Fuse and Reverse Polarity Protection
The suppressor diode on the input also provides for reverse
polarity protection by conducting current in the reverse
direction, thus protecting the converter. An external fuse is
required to limit this current. We recommend for:
–

–
–
20IMX7 and 24IMS7 a fast 2 A (F2A) fuse
40IMX7 and 48IMS7 a fast 1 A (F1A) fuse

The inrush current has been kept as low as possible by
choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor may
be inserted in the input line to limit this current further.

The built-in overvoltage trigger shuts down the converter at
approx. 38 V protecting the input up to 50 V. For higher transient
voltages an external suppressor or voltage limiting circuit as, e.g.,
for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance should be provided.

If transients generating currents above the peak pulse current are
possible, an external limiting network such as the circuit
recommended for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance, is
necessary.
To achieve IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance, an
additional inductor and capacitor should be provided externally
as shown in the figure below. The components should have
similar characteristics as listed in table 4.

7-Watt DC-DC Converters
Thermal Considerations
Output Overvoltage Protection
If the converter, mounted on a PCB, is located in free, quasistationary air (convection cooling) at the maximum ambient
temperature TA max (see table Temperature specifications) and
is operated at nominal input voltage and output power, the
case temperature TC measured at the measuring point of case
temperature (see Mechanical Data) will approach TC max after
the warm-up phase. However, the relationship between TA and
TC depends heavily on the conditions of operation and
integration into a system, such as input voltage, output current,
airflow, temperature of surrounding components and surfaces,
and the properties of the printed circuit board. TA max is
therefore only an indicative value, and under practical
operating conditions, TA may be higher or lower.
The outputs are protected against overvoltage by Zener diodes.
In the event of an overvoltage, the converter will shut down and
attempt to restart automatically. The main purpose of this
feature is to protect against possible overvoltage, which could
occur due to a failure in the feedback control circuit. The
converters are not designed to withstand external overvoltages
applied to the outputs.
Caution: The case temperature TC measured at the measuring
point of case temperature (see Mechanical Data) may under no
circumstances exceed the specified maximum. The installer must
ensure that under all operating conditions TC remains within the
limits stated in the table Temperature specifications.
Po /Po max
Connection in Series or Parallel
The outputs of single- or double-output models can be
connected in series without any precautions, taking into
consideration that the output voltage should remain below 60 V
for SELV operation.
Both outputs of double-output models can be connected in
parallel without any precautions. Several converters (single- or
double-output models) with equal output voltage can be put in
parallel and will share their output current quite equally.
However, this may cause start-up problems and is only
recommended in applications, where one converter is able to
deliver the full load current, e.g., in true redundant systems.

Short-Circuit Behavior

The current limitation shuts down the converter, when a short

automatically recovers after removal of the overload condition.

Auxiliary Functions
Adjustable Output Voltage
Inhibit Function
As a standard feature, all IMX7 and IMS7 converters offer
adjustable output voltage(s) by using a control pin. If this pin is
left open-circuit, the output voltage is set to Vo nom. The output
voltage is adjustable in the range of 75 to 105% of Vo nom.The
circuit works for single- and double-output models in a different
way. For output voltages Vo > Vo nom, the minimum input voltage
Vi min (see Electrical Input Data) increases proportionally to Vo /
Vo nom.
The output(s) of the converter may be enabled or disabled by
means of a logic signal (TTL, CMOS, etc.) applied to the inhibit
pin. No output voltage overshoot will occur, when the converter
is turned on. If the inhibit function is not required, the inhibit pin
should be connected to Vi– to enable the output (active low
logic, fail safe).

b) Adjustment by means of an external voltage source Vext.
For external output voltages in the range of 75 to 105% of
Vo nom a voltage source Vext (0 to 20 V) is required,
connected to the Trim-input (pin 4) and Vi–. The table
below indicates typical Vo versus Vext values under
nominal conditions (Vi nom, Io = 0.5 Io nom), with paralleled
outputs or equal load conditions on each output. Direct
paralleling of the Trim-inputs of converters connected in
parallel is feasible.

typical values (Vi nom, Io1 = Io2 = 0.5 Io1/2 nom)
The Trim input (pin 4) of double-output models is referenced to
the primary side. Figure 13 shows the circuitry. Adjustment of
the output voltage is possible in the range of 100 to 105% of Vo
nom using an external resistor, or in the range of 75 to 105% of
