Description
The DW025 Triple Output-Series Pow er Modu les are
dc-dc converters that operate over an input voltage
range of 36 Vdc to 75 Vdc and provide t hree outputs .
These modules offer extremely low noise levels with
industry-standard pinouts in a small footprint. Each
highly reliable and efficient unit features remote
on/off and current limit.
The maximum total output power of the DW025 Triple
Output-Series Pow er Modules is limited to 25 W. The
main output (VO1) is designed to deliver the entire
25 W. The auxiliary outputs (VO2 and VO3) can
prov ide a total of 22.5 W, as long as the total output
power does not exceed 25 W.
Efficiency greater than 80%, a wide operating
tempera ture range, and a metal case are additional
features of these modules.

DW025 Triple Output-Series Power Modules:
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to t he d evice. 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 sectio ns of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum r atings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.
Electrical Specifications
Unless otherwise indicated, specifications apply to all modules over all operating inpu t voltage, resistive load, and
temperature conditions.
* Operation is specified to 75 V, provided the minimum load on Output 1 is at least 0.75 A. Safety agency reports specify 75 V maximum input.
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; ho w ev er, to achieve ma xim um safety and system pr otection, alw ays use an input line fuse . Th e
safety agencies require a normal-blow, dc fuse with a maximum rating of 5 A in series with the ungrounded input
lead. 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. Highly inductive source im-
pedances can aff ect the stability of the pow er module. A
33 µF electrolytic capacitor (ESR < 0.7 at 100 kHz)
mounted close to th e power mo dule helps to ensure the
stability of the unit.
Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in complia nce with the spacin g and separ ation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard,
i.e., UL-1950, CSA 22.2-950, and EN60950.
For the converter output to be considered meeting the
requirements of safety e xtr a-lo w v oltage (SELV), one of
the following must be true:
All inputs are SELV and floating, with the output also
floating.
All inputs are SELV and grounded, with the output
also grounded.
Any non-SELV input must be pr ovided with reinf orced
insulation from any other hazardous voltages, includ-
ing the ac mains, and must ha ve a SELV reliability
test performed on it in combination with the convert-
ers. Inputs must meet SELV requirements.
If the input meet s extr a-low v oltage (ELV) requirements ,
then the converter’s output is considered ELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with a maxi-
mum 5 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.

DW025 Triple Output-Series Power Modules:
Feature Descriptions
Output Overvoltage Clamp
The output overvoltage clamp consists of control cir-
cuitry, independent of the primary regulation loop, that
monitors the voltage on the output terminals. The con-
trol loop of the clamp has a higher voltage set point
than the primary loop (see Feature Specifications
tabl e). This provides a redundant voltage control that
reduces the risk of output overvoltage.
Current Limit
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condi-
tion, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting
circuitry. At the point of current-limit inception, the unit
shifts from voltage control to current control. If the out-
put voltage is pulled very low during a severe fault, the
current-limit circuit can exhibit either foldbac k or
tailout characteristics (output current decrease or
increase). The unit operates normally once the output
current is brought back into its specified range.
Output Voltage Set-Point Adjustment
The output voltage adjustment feature provides the
capability of increasing or decreasing the output volt-
age set point of a module. When the output voltage
adjustment f eature is used, the output voltage set point
of all three output s is adju ste d.
The output v oltage adjustmen t can be accomplished b y
using an external resistor connected between the TRIM
pin and either the VO1(+) or common pin s. With an
external resistor between the TRIM and common pins
(Radj-up), the output voltage set point (VO, adj) increases.
Note: The output voltage adjustment range must not
exceed 110% of the nominal output voltage
between the VO1(+) and common terminals.
With an external resistor conne cte d be t w ee n the TRIM
and VO1(+) pins (Radj-down), t he output voltage set point
(VO, adj) decrease s.
Note: The output voltage adjustment must be 90% or
more of the nomina l output voltage between the
VO1(+) and common terminals.
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 REMOTE ON/OFF pin, and off during a
logic low. Negative logic remote on/off, suffix code “1,
turns the module off during a logic hi gh and on 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 can be an open collector or equivalent (see
Figure 21). A logic low is V on/off = 0 V to 1.2 V. The max-
imum 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 10 V. The maximum allowable
leakage current of the switch at Von/off = 10 V is 50 µA.

The 25 W triple output power modules are designed to
operate in a variety of thermal environments. As with
any electronic component, sufficient cooling must be
provided to ensure reliable operation. Heat dissipating
components inside the module are thermally coupled
to the case to enable heat removal by conduction, con-
vection, and radiation to the surrounding environment.
The thermal data presented is based on measure-
ments taken in a wind tunnel. The test setup shown in
Figure 22 was used to collect data. Actual perf ormance
can vary depending on the particular application
environment.
Basic Thermal Performance
The maximum ope rating tem peratur e of the DW025 Tri-
ple Output-Series Power Modules at a given operating
condition can be predicted by combining the pow er dis-
sipation curves (Figures 23 th ro ugh 27 ), the p ower der-
ating curve (Figure 28), and the thermal resistance
curve (Figure 28).
Use Figures 23 through 28 and the steps below to pre-
dict the safe operating region for many different operat-
ing and environmental cond itio ns.
1. Calculate the total output power.
POtotal = (IO1 x VO1) + (IO2 x VO2) + (IO3 x VO3)
2. Use POtotal wit h the a pprop riate figur e (Fig ure 23
or 24) to determine th e fixed losses (PP) associ-
ated with operating at POtotal. These losses are
independent of which output the load is being
drawn from.

Thermal Considerations (continued)
Basic Thermal Performance (continued)
3. Use the desired output current (IO1) with
Figure 25 to determine PS1, which is the addi-
tional power being dissipated due to loading of
the main output.
4. Repeat Step 3 for outputs 2 and 3 using the
appropriate figure (Figure 26 or 27) to determine
PS2 and PS3, whi ch is the p o wer di ssipated du e to
loading of the auxiliary outputs.
5. Find the total power dissipated (PDtotal) by add-
ing the four power dissipations obtained in Steps
2 through 4.
PDtotal = PP + PS1 + PS2 + PS3
6. Use the estimated tot al power dissipated (P Dtotal)
along with Figure 28 t o determine the maximum
ambient temperature allowable for a given air
velocity.
For example, consider the DW025ABK-M power
module operating with 54 V input and output currents
IO1 = 2.5 A, IO2 = 0.5 A, IO3 = 0.5 A.
The total output power (POtotal) is 24.5 W. The total
power dissipation is PDtotal = 4.74 W, which is obtained
by adding:
PP= 4.4 W (from Figure 23)
PS1 = 0.22 W (from Figure 25)
PS2 = 0.06 W (from Figure 26)
PS3 = 0.06 W (from Figure 26)
Figure 28 show s that, in natural convection, the maxi-
mum ambient temperat ure that this module can oper-
ate at is approximately 67 °C.
Keep in mind that the procedure above provides
approximations of the temperature and air velocities
required to keep the case temperature below its ma xi-
mum rating. The maximum case temperature, as moni-
tored at the point shown in Figure 22, should be
maintained at 100 °C or less under all conditions.
Air Velocity
The air velocity required to maintain a desired maxi-
mum case temperature for a given power dissipation
and ambient temperature can be calculated using
Figure 28 and the following equatio n:
where:
θCA is the thermal resistance from case-to-ambient
air (°C/W).
TC, max is the desired maximum case temperature
(°C).
TA is the ambient inlet temperature (°C).
PDtotal is the total power dissipated by the module
(W) at the desired operating condition.
F or example, to maint ain a maxim u m case temperature
of 85 °C with an ambien t inlet te mperat ure of 6 5 °C and
a pow er dissipation of 4.74 W, the thermal resistance is:
This corresponds to an airflow greater than 0.36 ms–1
(70 fpm) in Figure 28.

Use of Heat Sinks and Cold Plates
The DW025 Triple Output-Series case includes
through-th readed M3 x 0.5 mounting holes, allowing
attachment of heat sinks or cold plate s from either side
of the module. The mounting torque must not exceed
0.56 N/m (5 in.-lb).
The following thermal model can be used to determine
the required thermal resistance of the sink to provide
the necessary cooling:
where PD is the power dissipated by the module, θCS
represents the interfacial contact resistance between
the module and the sink, and θSA is the sink-to-ambie nt
thermal impedance (°C/W). For thermal greases or
foils, a value of θCS = 0.1 °C/W to 0.3 °C/W is typical.
The required θSA is calculated fr om the following equa-
tion:
Note that this equatio n assumes that all dissipated
power must be shed by the sink. Depending on the
user-defined applicat ion en viron ment, a more a ccurat e
model including heat tr ansf er from the sides and rear of
the module can be used. This equation p rovides a con-
servative estimate in such instances.
