Description
The LC/LW005-Series Power Modules are low-profile, dc-dc converters that operate over an input voltage
range of 18 Vdc to 36 Vdc or 36 Vdc to 75 Vdc and provide a precisely regulated output. The output is isolated
from the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. The modules have a maxi-
mum power rating of 5 W and efficiencies greater than 75%. Built-in filtering for both input and output minimizes
the need for external filtering.

LC/LW005-Series Power Modules:
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute 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 device reliability.

Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This encapsulated power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone
operation to an integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fus-
ing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The
safety agencies require a normal-blow fuse with a maximum rating of 5 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 for further information.

Design Considerations
Input Source Impedance
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance input source (see Figure 16). Highly
inductive source impedances can affect the stability of
the power module. If the source inductance exceeds
5 µH, a 33 µF electrolytic capacitor (ESR < 0.7 ¾ at
100 kHz) mounted close to the power module helps
ensure stability of the unit.
Safety Considerations (LC Modules)
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard,
i.e., UL 1950, CSA C22.2 No. 950-95, and VDE 0805
(EN60950, IEC950).
For the converter output to be considered meeting the
requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), the
input must meet SELV requirements.
The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs
when all inputs are ELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with a maxi-
mum 5 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.
Safety Considerations (LW Modules)
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard,
i.e., UL 1950, CSA C22.2 No. 950-95, and VDE 0805
(EN60950, IEC950).
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous
voltage greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to
75 Vdc), for the module's output to be considered
meeting the requirements of safety extra-low voltage
(SELV), all of the following must be true:
nThe input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any other hazardous voltages, includ-
ing the ac mains.
nOne VI pin and one VO pin are to be grounded or
both the input and output pins are to be kept floating.
nThe input pins of the module are not operator acces-
sible.
nAnother SELV reliability test is conducted on the
whole system, as required by the safety agencies, on
the combination of supply source and the subject
module to verify that under a single fault, hazardous
voltages do not appear at the module's output.
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the
module without grounding one of the output
pins. This may allow a non-SELV voltage to
appear between the output pins and ground.
The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs
when all inputs are ELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with a maxi-
mum 5 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.

Feature Descriptions
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condi-
tion, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting
circuitry and can endure current limiting for an unlim-
ited duration. At the point of current-limit inception, the
unit shifts from voltage control to current control. If the
output voltage is pulled very low during a severe fault,
the current-limit circuit can exhibit either foldback or
tailout characteristics (output-current decrease or
increase). The unit operates normally once the output
current is brought back into its specified range.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The output overvoltage clamp consists of control cir-
cuitry, almost entirely independent of the secondary
regulation circuitry, that monitors the voltage on the
output terminals. This control loop has a higher voltage
set point than the primary loop (see Feature Specifica-
tions table). In a fault condition, the overvoltage clamp
ensures that the output voltage does not exceed
VO, clamp, max. This provides a redundant voltage-
control that reduces the risk of output overvoltage.
If totally redundant overvoltage protection is needed in
the user application, it is recommended that an exter-
nal overvoltage protection circuitry be used on the user
application board assembly for additional protection.
For external overvoltage protection circuit suggestions,
contact technical support.
Input Undervoltage Lockout
At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout
limit, the module operation is disabled. The module will
begin to operate at an input voltage between the under-
voltage lockout limit and the minimum operating input
voltage.
Remote On/Off (Optional)
Positive logic, device code suffix “4,” remote on/off
turns the module on during a logic-high voltage on the
REMOTE ON/OFF pin, and off during a logic low.
To turn the power module on and off, the user must
supply a switch to control the voltage between the
on/off terminal and the VI(–) terminal (Von/off). The
switch may be an open collector or equivalent
(see Figure 19). A logic low is Von/off = –0.7 V to 1.2 V.
The maximum Ion/off during a logic low is 10 mA. The
switch should maintain a logic-low voltage while sinking
10 mA.
During a logic high, the maximum Von/off generated by
the power module is 15 V. The maximum allowable
leakage current of the switch at Von/off = 15 V is 50 µA.

Figure 19. Remote On/Off Implementation
Synchronization (Optional)
With external circuitry, the unit is capable of synchroni-
zation at 300 kHz from an independent time base with
a switching rate of 600 kHz. The synchronization signal
should be applied when the unit is operating to ensure
the unit functions properly.

LC/LW005-Series Power Modules:
Thermal Considerations
Sufficient cooling should be provided to help ensure
reliable operation of the power module. Heat-dissipat-
ing components inside the unit are thermally coupled to
the case. Heat is removed by conduction, convection,
and radiation to the surrounding environment. Proper
cooling can be verified by measuring the case temper-
ature. The case temperature (TC) should be measured
at the position indicated in Figure 21.
8-1363(C).a
Note: Dimensions are in millimeters and (inches). Pin locations are
for reference only.
Figure 21. Case Temperature Measurement
Location
Note that the view in Figure 21 is of the surface of the
module—the pin locations shown are for reference.
The temperature at this location should not exceed a
maximum case temperature of 105 °C. The output
power of the module should not exceed the rated
power for the module as listed in the Ordering Informa-
tion table.
The LC/LW005-Series Power Modules operate at
IO = IO, max in an 85 °C ambient temperature with
0.25 ms–1 (50 ft./min.) airflow. This airflow is present in
a typical circuit pack environment in a natural cooled
equipment rack, with other components causing airflow
through the chimney effect. In very low airflow environ-
ments, such as small enclosures, the module should
be derated approximately 10 °C at full load. Note that
these are approximations and that actual case temper-
ature measurements in the equipment rack should be
taken to verify the case temperature does not exceed
105 °C.
Heat Transfer Characteristics
Increasing airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Figure 22 shows the maximum
power that can be dissipated by the module without
exceeding the maximum case temperature versus local
ambient temperature (TA) for natural convection
through 3.0 ms–1 (600 ft./min.).
Systems in which these power modules are used typi-
cally generate natural convection airflow rates of
0.25 ms–1 (50 ft./min.) due to other heat dissipating
components in the system. Therefore, the natural con-
vection condition represents airflow rates of approxi-
mately 0.25 ms–1 (50 ft./min.). Use of Figure 22 is
shown in the following example.
Example
What is the minimum airflow necessary for an LW005A
operating at 75 V, an output current of 1 A, and a maxi-
mum ambient temperature of 90 °C?
Solution:
Given: VI = 75 V, IO = 1 A (IO, max), TA = 90 °C
Determine PD (Figure 27): PD = 1.75 W
Determine airflow (Figure 22): v = 1.0 ms–1
(200 ft./min.)

Module Derating
The derating curves in Figure 22 were derived by mea-
surements obtained in an experimental apparatus
shown in Figure 30. Note that the module and the
printed-wiring board (PWB) that it is mounted on are
both vertically oriented. The passage has a rectangular
cross section.
