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 circ uit ca n exhibit either foldback or tai-
lout characteristics (output current decrease or
increase). Th e un it op erate s no rma lly onc e th e ou tp ut
current is brou ght back into its specified range.
Remote On/Off
Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic
remote on/off turns the module on during a logic-high
voltage on the ON/OFF pin, and off during a logic low.
Negative logic remote on/off turns the module off dur-
ing a logic high and on during a logic low. Negative
logic (code suffix “1”) is the factory-preferred configura-
tion.
To turn the power module on and off, the user m ust
supply a switch to control the voltage between the
on/off terminal and the VI(–) terminal (Von/off). The
switch can be an open collector or equivalent (see
Figure 11). A logic low is Von/off = 0 V to 1.2 V. The
maximum Ion/off during a logic low is 1 mA. The switch
should maintain a logic-low voltage while sinking 1 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.
If not using the remote on/ off feature, do one of the
following:
■F or negativ e logic, short ON/OFF pin to VI(–).
■For positive logic, leave ON/OFF pin open.

Remote Sense
Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution
losses by re gulating the voltage at the remote-sense
connections. The voltage between the remote-sense
pins and the output terminals must not exceed the out-
put voltage sense r ange given in t he Feature Specifica-
tions table, i.e .:
[VO(+) – VO(–)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(–)] ≤ 0.5 V
The voltage between the VO(+) and VO(–) terminals
must not exceed the minimum value of the output over-
voltage protection. This limit includes any increase in
v oltage due to remote-sen se compensa tion and outpu t
voltage set-point adjustment (trim). See Figure 12.
If not using the rem o te- se nse featur e to re gu la te the
output at the poin t of load, then connect SENSE(+) to
VO(+) and SENSE(–) to VO(–) at the module.
Although the out put voltage can be increased by both
the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum
increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both.
The maximum increase is the larger of either the
remote sense or the trim. Consult the factory if you
need to increase the output voltag e more than the
above limitation.
The amount of power delivered by the modu le is
defined as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied
by the output current. When using remote sense and
trim, the output voltage of the module can be
increased, which at the same output current would
increase the power output of the module. Care should
be taken to ensure that the maximum output power of
the module remains at or below the maximum rated
power.
