Description
The L Single- and Dual-Output-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 one or two precisely regulated out-
puts. The outputs are isolated from the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connec-
tions. The modules have a maximum power rating of 10 W to 15 W and efficiencies of up to 84% for a 5 V
output and 82% for a 3.3 V output. Built-in filtering for both input and output minimizes the need for external fil-
tering.

LC/LW010- and LC/LW015-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.
* Maximum case temperature varies based on power dissipation. See derating curves, Figures 43—45, for details.
Electrical Specifications
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, dc 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.

LC/LW010- and LC/LW015-Series Power Modules:
Design Considerations
Input Source Impedance
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance input source. Highly inductive source
impedances can affect the stability of the power mod-
ule. If the source inductance exceeds 4 µH, a 33 µF
electrolytic capacitor (ESR < 0.7 Ω at 100 kHz)
mounted close to the power module helps ensure
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 compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard,
i.e., UL 1950, CSA 22.2 No. 950-95, EN60950, and
IEC950.
For the converter output to be considered meeting the
requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), one of
the following must be true of the dc input:
nAll inputs are SELV and floating, with the output also
floating.
nAll inputs are SELV and grounded, with the output
also grounded.
nAny non-SELV input must be provided with rein-
forced insulation from any other hazardous voltages,
including the ac mains, and must have a SELV reli-
ability test performed on it in combination with the
converters.
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
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. This con-
trol loop has a higher voltage set point than the primary
loop (see Feature Specifications table). In a fault condi-
tion, 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.
Current Limit
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.
Remote On/Off (Optional)
Two remote on/off options are available. 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. Negative logic, device
code suffix “1”, remote on/off turns the module off dur-
ing a logic high 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 may be an open collector or equivalent (see
Figure 38). A logic low is Von/off = –0.7 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 10 V. The maximum allowable
leakage current of the switch at Von/off = 10 V is 50 µA.
The module has internal capacitance to reduce noise
at the ON/OFF pin. Additional capacitance is not gen-
erally needed and may degrade the start-up character-
istics of the module.

Output Voltage Adjustment (Optional on
Single-Output Units)
Output voltage set-point adjustment allows the user to
increase or decrease the output voltage set point of a
module. This is accomplished by connecting an exter-
nal resistor between the TRIM pin and either the VO(+)
or VO(–) pins. With an external resistor between the
TRIM and VO(+) pins (Radj-down), the output voltage set
point (VO, adj) decreases (see Figure 39). The following
equation determines the required external resistor
value to obtain an output voltage change from VO, nom
to VO, adj:
where Radj-down is the resistance value connected
between TRIM and VO(+), and G, H, and L are defined
in the following table.
8-715(C).e
Figure 39. Circuit Configuration to Decrease
Output Voltage
With an external resistor connected between the TRIM
and VO(–) pins (Radj-up), the output voltage set point
(VO, adj) increases (see Figure 40). The following equa-
tion determines the required external resistor value to
obtain an output voltage from VO, nom to VO, adj:
where Radj-up is the resistance value connected
between TRIM and VO (–), and the values of G, H, K,
and L are shown in the following table:
The combination of the output voltage adjustment
and the output voltage tolerance cannot exceed 110%
(125% for the D) of the nominal output voltage between
the VO(+) and VO(–) terminals.
8-715(C).d
Figure 40. Circuit Configuration to Increase Output
Voltage
The L-Series power modules have a fixed current-limit
set point. Therefore, as the output voltage is adjusted
down, the available output power is reduced. In addi-
tion, the minimum output current is a function of the
output voltage. As the output voltage is adjusted down,
the minimum required output current can increase
(i.e., minimum power is constant).
Synchronization (Optional)
With external circuitry, the unit is capable of synchroni-
zation from an independent time base with a switching
rate of 256 kHz. Other frequencies may be available;
please consult the factory for application guidelines
and/or a description of the external circuit needed to
use this feature.

LC/LW010- and LC/LW015-Series Power Modules:
Thermal Considerations
The power module operates in a variety of thermal
environments; however, sufficient cooling should be
provided to help ensure reliable operation of the unit.
Heat-dissipating components inside the unit are ther-
mally coupled to the case. Heat is removed by conduc-
tion, convection, and radiation to the surrounding
environment. Proper cooling can be verified by mea-
suring the case temperature. The case temperature
(TC) should be measured at the position indicated in
Figures 41 and 42.
8-1363(C).b
Note: Dimensions are in millimeters and (inches). Pin locations are
for reference only.

Measurement Location
8-1363(C).c
Note: Dimensions are in millimeters and (inches). Pin locations are
for reference only.
Figure 42. LW015 and LC015 Case Temperature
Measurement Location
Note that the views in Figures 41 and 42 are of the sur-
face of the modules. The temperatures at these loca-
tions should not exceed the maximum case
temperature indicated on the derating curve. The out-
put power of the module should not exceed the rated
power for the module as listed in the Ordering Informa-
tion table.
Heat Transfer Characteristics
Increasing airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Figures 43 through 45 show
the maximum power that can be dissipated by the mod-
ule without exceeding the maximum case temperature
versus local ambient temperature (TA) for natural con-
vection 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 43 is
shown in the following example.
Example
What is the minimum airflow necessary for an LW010A
operating at 48 V, an output current of 2.0 A, and a
maximum ambient temperature of 91 °C?
Solution:
Given: VI = 48 V, IO = 2.0 A (IO, max), TA = 91 °C
Determine PD (Figure 58): PD = 2.5 W
Determine airflow (Figure 43): v = 2.0 ms–1
(400 ft./min.)

Module Derating
The derating curves in Figures 43 through 45 were
determined by measurements obtained in an experi-
mental apparatus shown in Figure 61. 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.

Dimensions are in millimeters and (inches).
Tolerance: x.x ± 0.5 mm (0.020 in.); x.xx ± 0.38 mm (0.015 in.).
If slightly lower height is needed, the four standoffs can be dropped through holes on the user’s PWB. By dropping
the standoffs through the PWB, the module height will be decreased to 9.5 mm (0.375 in.) typical height.
