Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute 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.

Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This 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 fusing is not
included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety
agencies require a normal-blow fuse with a maximum rating of 20 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.

The power module should be connected to a low acimpedance input source. Highly inductive source
impedances can affect the stability of the NH033x-L
and NH050x-L Series Power Modules. Adding external
capacitance close to the input pins of the module can
reduce the ac impedance and ensure system stability.
The minimum recommended input capacitance (C1) is
a 470 µF electrolytic capacitor with an ESR ð 0.02 Ω @
100 kHz. Verify the quality and layout of these capacitors by ensuring that the ripple across the module input
pins is less than 1 Vp-p at IO = IO, max. (See Figures 33,
36, and 37.)
The 470 µF electrolytic capacitor (C1) should be added
across the input of the NH033x-L or NH050x-L to
ensure stability of the unit. The electrolytic capacitor
should be selected for ESR and RMS current ratings to
ensure safe operation in the case of a fault condition.
The input capacitor for the NH033x-L and NH050x-L
series should be rated to handle 10 Arms.
When using a tantalum input capacitor, take care not to
exceed the tantalum capacitor power rating because of
the capacitor’s failure mechanism (for example, a short
circuit).

To reduce the amount of ripple current fed back to the
input supply (input reflected-ripple current), an external
input filter can be added. Up to 10 µF of ceramic
capacitance (C2) may be externally connected to the
input of the NH033x-L or NH050x-L, provided the
source inductance (LSOURCE) is less than 1 µH (see
Figure 36).

Safety Considerations
Input Source Impedance (continued)
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 60950, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00, and VDE
0805 (IEC60950).
To further reduce the input reflected ripple current, a
filter inductor (LFILTER) can be connected between the
supply and the external input capacitors (see Figure
37). The filter inductor should be rated to handle the
maximum power module input current of 10 Adc for the
NH033x-L and 16 Adc for the NH050x-L.
If the amount of input reflected-ripple current is unacceptable with an external L-C filter, more capacitance
may be added across the input supply to form a C-L-C
filter. For best results, the filter components should be
mounted close to the power module.

For the converter output to be considered meeting the

The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum 20 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.

Output Capacitance
The NH033x-L and NH050x-L Series Power Modules
can be operated with large values of output capacitance. In order to maintain stability, choose a capacitor
bank so that the product of their capacitance and ESR
is greater than 50 x 10–6 (e.g., 1,000 µF x 0.05 Ω =
50 x 10–6). For complex or very low ESR filters, consult
the Technical Support for stability analysis.
To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is
equipped with internal overcurrent protection. The unit
operates normally once the fault condition is removed.
Under some extreme overcurrent conditions, the unit
may latch off. Once the fault is removed, the unit can
be reset by toggling the remote on/off signal for one
second or by cycling the input power.
Remote On/Off
To turn the power module on and off, the user must
supply a switch to control the voltage at the ON/OFF
pin (Von/off). The switch should be an open collector pnp
transistor connected between the ON/OFF pin and the
VI pin or its equivalent (see Figure 38).
During a logic low when the ON/OFF pin is open, the
power module is on and the maximum Von/off generated
by the power module is 0.3 V. The maximum allowable
leakage current of the switch when Von/off = 0.3 V and
VI = 5.5 V (Vswitch = 5.2 V) is 50 µA.
During a logic high, when Von/off = 2.8 V to 5.5 V, the
power module is off and the maximum Ion/off is 10 mA.
The switch should maintain a logic high while sourcing
10 mA.
Leave the remote ON/OFF pin open if not using that
feature.

The module has internal capacitance to reduce noise
at the ON/OFF pin. Additional capacitance is not generally needed and may degrade the start-up characteristics of the module.

Remote On/Off (continued)
CAUTION: Never ground the ON/OFF pin. Grounding the ON/OFF pin disables an important safety feature and may damage the
module or the customer system.
Output voltage set-point adjustment allows the output
voltage set point to be increased or decreased by connecting an external resistor between the TRIM pin and
either the SENSE(+) pin (decrease output voltage) or
SENSE(–) pin (increase output voltage). The trim
range for modules that produce 2.5 VO or greater is
±10% of VO, nom. The trim range for modules that produce less than 2.5 VO is +20%, –0%.
Connecting an external resistor (Rtrim-down) between the
TRIM and SENSE(+) pin decreases the output voltage
set point as defined in the following equation.

Note: Output voltages below 2.5 V cannot be trimmed

Remote Sense
Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution
losses by regulating the voltage at the remote-sense
connections. The voltage between the remote-sense
pins and the output pins must not exceed the output
voltage sense range given in the Feature Specifications
table.
The voltage between the VO and GND pins must not
exceed 110% of VO, nom for VO ≥ 2.5 V or 120% of
VO, nom for VO < 2.5 V. This limit includes any increase
in voltage due to remote-sense compensation and output voltage set-point adjustment (trim), see Figure 39.
If not using the remote-sense feature to regulate the output at the point of load, connect SENSE(+) to VO and
SENSE(–) to GND at the module.
Connecting an external resistor (Rtrim-up) between the
TRIM and SENSE(–) pins increases the output voltage
set point to VO, adj as defined in the following equation.

Proper cooling can be verified by measuring the power
module’s temperature at lead 7 of Q32 as shown in
Figure 41.
Overtemperature Protection
To provide additional protection in a fault condition, the
unit is equipped with a nonlatched thermal shutdown
circuit. The shutdown circuit engages when Q32
exceeds approximately 120 °C. The unit attempts to
restart when Q32 cools down. The unit cycles on and
off if the fault condition continues to exist. Recovery
from shutdown is accomplished when the cause of the
overheating condition is removed.

Thermal Considerations
Figure 41. Temperature Measurement Location
The thermal data presented is based on measurements taken in a wind tunnel. The test setup shown in
Figure 40 was used to collect data for Figures 50 and
51. Note that the airflow is parallel to the long axis of
the module. The derating data applies to airflow along
either direction of the module’s long axis.
The module runs cooler when it is rotated 90° from the
direction shown in Figure 40. This thermally preferred
orientation increases the maximum ambient temperatures 4 °C to 5 °C from the maximum values shown in
Figures 50 and 51.

Convection Requirements for Cooling

for the particular application. Figures 42 through 49
show typical power dissipation for the module over a
