Application Notes
Output Over Voltage Protection:
The output voltage is constantly monitored by the
microprocessor and a parallel regulation path with an
independent reference. If the output voltage exceeds
the over-voltage specification, the microprocessor will
latch the converter off. To turn the converter on requires
either cycling the ON/OFF pin or power to the
converter. This advanced feature prevents the converter
from damaging the load if there is a converter failure or
application error. If non-latching is required, consult
factory.
Trim:
To trim the output voltage higher, connect the
required trim resistor from the Trim pin to the +Sense
pin. To trim the output voltage lower, connect the
required trim resistor from the Trim pin to the –Sense
pin. See diagram below.
Trim-down
Thermal Shutdown:
The printed circuit board temperature is measured
using a semiconductor sensor. If the maximum rated
temperature is exceeded, the converter is latched off. To
re-enable the converter requires cycling the ON/OFF
pin or power to the converter. If non-latching is
required, consult factory.
Control Options:
As the behavior of the circuit is determined by
firmware in the microcontroller, specific customer
requirements such as
• non-latching thermal protection
• custom valid input voltage range
• controlled delay from initiating an ON/OFF
signal for power sequencing
can be accomplished with no change to hardware.
The standard behavior was chosen based on system
design experience but we understand that customers
often have their own requirements.

Remote Sense:
The output voltage is regulated at the point where the
sense pins connect to the power output pins. Total sense
compensation should not exceed 0.4V or 10% of Vout,
whichever is greater.
Safety:
An external input fuse must always be used to meet
these safety requirements.
