The remote Sense lines carry very little current. They are also capacitively
coupled to the output lines and therefore are in the feedback control loop to
regulate and stabilize the output. As such, they are not low impedance inputs
and must be treated with care in PC board layouts. Sense lines on the PCB
should run adjacent to DC signals, preferably Ground. In cables and discrete
wiring, use twisted pair, shielded tubing or similar techniques.
Any long, distributed wiring and/or significant inductance introduced into the
Sense control loop can adversely affect overall system stability. If in doubt, test
your applications by observing the converter’s output transient response during
step loads. There should not be any appreciable ringing or oscillation. You
may also adjust the output trim slightly to compensate for voltage loss in any
external filter elements. Do not exceed maximum power ratings.
Please observe Sense inputs tolerance to avoid improper operation:
[Vout(+) −Vout(-)] − [Sense(+) −Sense(-)] ≤ 10% of Vout
Output overvoltage protection is monitored at the output voltage pin, not the
Sense pin. Therefore excessive voltage differences between Vout and Sense
together with trim adjustment of the output can cause the overvoltage protec-
tion circuit to activate and shut down the output.
Power derating of the converter is based on the combination of maximum
output current and the highest output voltage. Therefore the designer must
ensure:
(Vout at pins) x (Iout) ≤ (Max. rated output power)
Soldering Guidelines
Murata Power Solutions recommends the specifications below when installing these
converters. These specifications vary depending on the solder type. Exceeding these
specifications may cause damage to the product. Be cautious when there is high atmo-
spheric humidity. We strongly recommend a mild pre-bake (100° C. for 30 minutes). Your
production environment may differ; therefore please thoroughly review these guidelines
with your process engineers.
