the PWM will restart, causing the output voltage to begin ramping up to its ap-
propriate value. If the short-circuit condition persists, another shutdown cycle
will initiate. This on/off cycling is called “hiccup mode”. The hiccup cycling
reduces the average output current, thereby preventing excessive internal
temperatures. A short circuit can be tolerated indefinitely.
Remote Sense Input
Sense inputs compensate for output voltage inaccuracy delivered at the load.
This is done by correcting voltage drops along the output wiring such as mod-
erate IR drops and the current carrying capacity of PC board etch. Sense inputs
also improve the stability of the converter and load system by optimizing the
control loop phase margin.
Note: The Sense input and power Vout lines are internally connected through
low value resistors to their respective polarities so that the converter can
operate without external connection to the Sense. Nevertheless, if the Sense
function is not used for remote regulation, the user should connect +Sense to
+Vout and –Sense to –Vout at the converter pins.
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
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 out-
put current and the highest output voltage. Therefore the designer must insure:
(Vout at pins) x (Iout) ≤ (Max. rated output power)
Trimming the Output Voltage
The Trim input to the converter allows the user to adjust the output voltage
over the rated trim range (please refer to the Specifications). In the trim equa-
tions and circuit diagrams that follow, trim adjustments use either a trimpot or
a single fixed resistor connected between the Trim input and either the +Sense
or –Sense terminals. (On some converters, an external user-supplied precision
DC voltage may also be used for trimming). Trimming resistors should have a
low temperature coefficient (±100 ppm/deg.C or less) and be mounted close
to the converter. Keep leads short. If the trim function is not used, leave the
trim unconnected. With no trim, the converter will exhibit its specified output
voltage accuracy.
There are two CAUTION’s to be aware for the Trim input:
CAUTION: To avoid unplanned power down cycles, do not exceed EITHER the
maximum output voltage OR the maximum output power when setting the trim.
Be particularly careful with a trimpot. If the output voltage is excessive, the
OVP circuit may inadvertantly shut down the converter. If the maximum power
is exceeded, the converter may enter current limiting. If the power is exceeded
for an extended period, the converter may overheat and encounter overtem-
perature shut down.
CAUTION: Be careful of external electrical noise. The Trim input is a senstive
input to the converter’s feedback control loop. Excessive electrical noise may
cause instability or oscillation. Keep external connections short to the Trim
input. Use shielding if needed. Also consider adding a small value ceramic
capacitor between the Trim and –Vout to bypass RF and electrical noise.
