Block diagram of the converter is shown in Figure 23. The output can be trimmed in the range of 0.9Vdc to 5.0Vdc by a resistor from Trim pin to Ground. The converter can be turned ON/OFF by remote control. Positive on/off (ENABLE pin) logic implies that the converter DC output is enabled when this signal is driven high (greater than 2.4V) or floating and disabled when the signal is driven low (below 0.8V). Negative on/off logic is optional and could also be ordered. The converter provides an open collector signal called Power Good. The power good signal is pulled low when output is not within ±10% of Vout or Enable is OFF. The converter can protect itself by entering hiccup mode against over current and short circuit condition. Also, the converter will shut down when an over voltage protection is detected. FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS ENABLE (On/Off) The ENABLE (on/off) input allows external circuitry to put the NC converter into a low power dissipation (sleep) mode. Positive (active-high) ENABLE is available as standard. Positive ENABLE (active-high) units of the NC series are turned on if the ENABLE pin is high or floating. Pulling the pin low will turn off the unit. With the active high function, the output is guaranteed to turn on if the ENABLE pin is driven above 2.4V. The output will turn off if the ENABLE pin voltage is pulled below .8V. The ENABLE input can be driven in a variety of ways as shown in Figures 24, 25 and 26. If the ENABLE signal comes from the primary side of the circuit, the ENABLE can be driven through either a bipolar signal transistor (Figure 24) or a logic gate (Figure 25). If the enable signal comes from the secondary side, then an opto-coupler or other isolation devices must be used to bring the signal across the voltage isolation (please see Figure 26).

Input Under-Voltage Lockout The input under-voltage lockout prevents the converter from being damaged while operating when the input voltage is too low. The lockout occurs between 7.0V to 8.0V. The NC06/NC15/NC20 module has a trim range of 0.9V to 5.0V. The trim resistor equation for the NC6A/NC15A/ NC20A is : Rs (Ω) = 1170 Vout − 0.9 Over-Current and Short-Circuit Protection The NC series modules have non-latching over-current and short-circuit protection circuitry. When over current condition occurs, the module goes into the non-latching hiccup mode. When the over-current condition is removed, the module will resume normal operation. An over current condition is detected by measuring the voltage drop across the high-side MOSFET. The voltage drop across the MOSFET is also a function of the MOSFET’s Rds(on). Rds(on) is affected by temperature, therefore ambient temperature will affect the current limit inception point. Please see the electrical characteristics for details of the OCP function. The detection of the Rds(on) of the high side MOSFET also acts as an over temperature protection since high temperature will cause the Rds(on) of the MOSFET to increase, eventually triggering over-current protection. Vout is the output voltage setpoint Rs is the resistance between Trim and Ground Rs values should not be less than 280Ω Output Voltage +0.9 V +1.2 V +1.5 V +1.8 V +2.5 V +3.3 V +5.0 V Rs (Ω) OPEN 3.92K 1.96K 1.3K 732 487 287 Figure 28: Typical trim resistor values NC6A/15A/20A Vout Vin 1.3K Enable Trim Rs Rt Vt Output Voltage Programming The output voltage of the NC series is trimmable by connecting an external resistor between the trim pin and output ground as shown Figure 27 and the typical trim resistor values are shown in Figure 28. The output can also be set by an external voltage connected to trim pin as shown in Figure 29. NC6A/15A/20A Vin Vout Ground Ground Figure 29: Output voltage trim with voltage source To use voltage trim, the trim equation for the NC6A/NC15A/ NC20A is (please refer to Fig. 29) : Rt (kΩ) = Rs (1.3Vt − 1.17) 1.17 − Rs(Vout − 0.9) Enable Trim Rs Ground Ground Vout is the desired output voltage Vt is the external trim voltage Rs is the resistance between Trim and Ground (in KΩ) Rt is the resistor to be defined with the trim voltage (in KΩ) Below is an example about using this voltage trim equation : Example： If Vt = 1.25V, desired Vout = 2.5V and Rs = 0.715KΩ Figure 27: Trimming Output Voltage Rt ( KΩ) = NC12S15A_02012007 Rs (1.3Vt − 1.17) = 12.51KΩ 1.17 − Rs(Vout − 0.9) 8 FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.) Power Good The converter provides an open collector signal called Power Good. This output pin uses positive logic and is open collector. This power good output is able to sink 5mA and set high when the output is within ±10% of output set point. The power good signal is pulled low when output is not within ±10% of Vout or Enable is OFF. Output Capacitance There is no output capacitor on the NC series modules. Hence, an external output capacitor is required for stable operation. For NC15 modules, an external 6.3V/680µF low ESR capacitor (for example, OSCON) is required for stable operation. It is important to places these low ESR capacitors as close to the load as possible in order to get improved dynamic response and better voltage regulation, especially when the load current is large. Several of these low ESR capacitors could be used together to further lower the ESR. Please refer to individual datasheet for the maximum allowed start-up load capacitance for each NC series as it is varied between series. Current Sink Capability The NC series converters are able to sink current as well as function as a current source. It is able to sink the full output current at any output voltage up to and including 2.5V. This feature allows the NC series fit into any voltage termination application. Reflected Ripple Current and Output Ripple and Noise Measurement The measurement set-up outlined in Figure 31 has been used for both input reflected/ terminal ripple current and output voltage ripple and noise measurements on NC series converters. Voltage Margining Adjustment Output voltage margin adjusting can be implemented in the NC modules by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-up, from the Trim pin to the Ground for for margining up the output voltage. Also, the output voltage can be adjusted lower by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-down, from the Trim pin to the voltage source Vt. Figure 30 shows the circuit configuration for output voltage margining adjustment. Vt NC6A/15A/20A Vin Vout Rmargin-down Enable Trim Rmargin-up Rs Cs=270µF*1, Ltest=1.4µH, Cin=270µF*1, Cout=680µF *1 Figure 31: Input reflected ripple/ capacitor ripple current and output voltage ripple and noise measurement setup for NC15 Ground Ground Figure 30: Circuit configuration for output voltage margining Paralleling NC06/NC15/NC20 converters do not have built-in current sharing (paralleling) ability. Hence, paralleling of multiple NC06/NC15/NC20 converters is not recommended. NC12S15A_02012007 9 THERMAL CONSIDERATION Thermal management is an important part of the system design. To ensure proper, reliable operation, sufficient cooling of the power module is needed over the entire temperature range of the module. Convection cooling is usually the dominant mode of heat transfer. Hence, the choice of equipment to characterize the thermal performance of the power module is a wind tunnel. Thermal Testing Setup Delta’s DC/DC power modules are characterized in heated vertical wind tunnels that simulate the thermal environments encountered in most electronics equipment. This type of equipment commonly uses vertically mounted circuit cards in cabinet racks in which the power modules are mounted. The following figure shows the wind tunnel characterization setup. The power module is mounted on a test PWB and is vertically positioned within the wind tunnel. The space between the neighboring PWB and the top of the power module is constantly kept at 6.35mm (0.25’’). Thermal Derating Heat can be removed by increasing airflow over the module. To enhance system reliability, the power module should always be operated below the maximum operating temperature. If the temperature exceeds the maximum module temperature, reliability of the unit may be affected.
