To maintain low-noise and ripple at the input voltage, it is
critical to use low ESR capacitors at the input to the
module. The input capacitance should be able to handle
an AC ripple current of at least:

The power module should be connected to a low

impedances can affect the stability of the module. An
input capacitance must be placed close to the modules
input pins to filter ripple current and ensure module
stability in the presence of inductive traces that supply
the input voltage to the module.

For safety-agency approval the power module must be

requirements of the end-use safety agency standards.
For the converter output to be considered meeting the

input must meet SELV requirements. The power module
has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when all inputs are

FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS
FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.)
Remote On/Off
The DNT series power modules have an On/Off pin for
remote On/Off operation. Both positive and negative
On/Off logic options are available in the DNT series
power modules.
For positive logic module, connect an open collector
(NPN) transistor or open drain (N channel) MOSFET
between the On/Off pin and the GND pin (see figure 22).
Positive logic On/Off signal turns the module ON during
the logic high and turns the module OFF during the logic
low. When the positive On/Off function is not used, leave
the pin floating or tie to Vin (module will be On).
For negative logic module, the On/Off pin is pulled high
with an external pull-up resistor (see figure 23) Negative
logic On/Off signal turns the module OFF during logic
high and turns the module ON during logic low. If the
negative On/Off function is not used, leave the pin
floating or tie to GND. (module will be On)
The output voltage of the DNT can be programmed to any
voltage between 0.75Vdc and 5.5Vdc by connecting one
resistor (shown as Rtrim in Figure 25) between the TRIM
and GND pins of the module. Without this external
resistor, the output voltage of the module is 0.7525 Vdc.
To calculate the value of the resistor Rtrim for a particular
output voltage Vo, please use the following equation:

Over-Current Protection
To provide protection in an output over load fault
condition, the unit is equipped with internal over-current
protection. When the over-current protection is
triggered, the unit enters hiccup mode. The units
operate normally once the fault condition is removed.

Voltage Margining
Figure 24: Circuit configuration for programming output voltage
using an external resistor
Figure 25: Circuit Configuration for programming output voltage
Output voltage margining can be implemented in the
DNT modules by connecting a resistor, R margin-up, from
the Trim pin to the ground pin for margining-up the
output voltage and by connecting a resistor, R margin-down,
from the Trim pin to the output pin for margining-down.
Figure 26 shows the circuit configuration for output
voltage margining. If unused, leave the trim pin
unconnected. A calculation tool is available from the
evaluation procedure, which computes the values of
Rmargin-up and Rmargin-down for a specific output voltage and
margin percentage.
using external voltage source
Table 1 provides Rtrim values required for some common
output voltages, while Table 2 provides value of external
voltage source, Vtrim, for the same common output
voltages. By using a 1% tolerance trim resistor, set point
tolerance of ±2% can be achieved as specified in the
electrical specification.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
THERMAL CURVES
Thermal management is an important part of the
system design. To ensure proper, reliable operation,
sufficient cooling of the power module is needed over
the entire temperature range of the module. Convection
cooling is usually the dominant mode of heat transfer.
Hence, the choice of equipment to characterize the
thermal performance of the power module is a wind
tunnel.
Thermal Testing Setup
Delta’s DC/DC power modules are characterized in
heated vertical wind tunnels that simulate the thermal
environments encountered in most electronics
equipment. This type of equipment commonly uses
vertically mounted circuit cards in cabinet racks in
which the power modules are mounted.
The following figure shows the wind tunnel
characterization setup. The power module is mounted
on a test PWB and is vertically positioned within the
wind tunnel. The height of this fan duct is constantly
kept at 25.4mm (1’’).

The allowed maximum hot spot temperature is defined at 125℃.

Heat can be removed by increasing airflow over the
module. To enhance system reliability, the power
module should always be operated below the maximum
operating temperature. If the temperature exceeds the
maximum module temperature, reliability of the unit
may be affected.
