The VKA100xSC Series DC/DC con-
verters present an economical and
practical solution for distributed power
system architectures which require
high power density and effi ciency while
maintaining system modularity and
upgradeability. With the ability to oper-
ate over a wide input voltage range
of 18 to 36 and 33 to 75 volts, these
modules are ideal for use in battery
backup applications common in today’s
telecommunication and electronic data
processing applications. The output is
fully isolated from the input, allowing
for a variety of polarity and grounding
confi gurations.
The VKA100xSC’s proprietary con-
trol circuitry responds to 50-100% load
steps in 100mSeconds to within 1%
nominal Vout.
The patented fi xed frequency
architecture combined with surface
mount technology results in a compact,
effi cient and reliable solution to DC/
DC conversion requirements. Safety Per

MATERIAL: Units are encapsulated in a low thermal
resistance molding compound which has excellent chemical
resistance and electrical properties in high humidity
environments and over a wide operating temperature
range. The encapsulant and outer shell of the unit have
UL94V-0 ratings. Lead material is solder plated to allow
ease of solderability.
This feature allows the user to accurately adjust the module’s
output voltage set point to a specifi ed level. This is achieved
by connecting a resistor or potentiometer from the TRIM
terminal to either the +Vout terminal (for increased Vout) or
the -Vout terminal (for decreased Vout). The formulae below
describe the trim resistor value to obtain a Vout change of
Δ%. VO is output voltage prior to adjustment (3.3V, 5V, 12V,
15V, or 24V).
Radj - up = ( Vo(100 + Δ%) _(100 + 2Δ%) ) kΩ

Radj - down = (100 - 2)kΩ
Δ%
OUTPUT ADJUST VOLTAGE
Special attention should be given to the peak voltage
deviation during a dynamic load step when trimming the
output above the original set point to avoid tripping the
overvoltage protection circuit. Should an OVP condition
occur, the converter will go into a latch condition and
must be externally reset before it will return to normal
operation.
