3. General Description
3.1 Electrical Description
A block diagram of the VPOL20A-12W-SIP Series converter is shown in
Figure 1. Extremely high efficiency power conversion is achieved
through the use of synchronous rectification and drive techniques.
Essentially, the powerful VPOL20A-12W-SIP series topology is based
on a non-isolated synchronous buck converter. The control loop is
optimized for unconditional stability, fast transient response and a very
tight line and load regulation. In a typical pre-bias application the
VPOL20A-12W-SIP series converters do not draw any reverse current
at start-up. The output voltage can be adjusted from 0.7525 to 5.0vdc,
using the TRIM pin with a external resistor. The converter can be shut
down via a remote ON/OFF input that is referenced to ground. This
input is compatible with popular logic devices; a 'positive' logic input is
supplied as standard.
Positive logic implies that the converter is enabled if the remote
ON/OFF input is high (or floating), and disabled if it is low. The

Sequencing voltage= 0.67V/msec
5.7 UVLO (Under-Voltage Lockout)
The voltage on the Vcc pin determines the start of the operation of the
Converter. When the input Vcc rises and exceeds about 5.0V the
converter initiates a soft start. The UVLO function in the converter has a
hysteresis (about 1V) built in to provide noise immunity at start-up.
5.8 Output Voltage Sequencing (Tracking)
The VPOL20A-12W-SIP series including a sequencing feature. It is able
implement various types of output voltage sequencing in customer
applications, VPOL20A-12W-SIP series is accomplishable through an
additional sequencing pin. When not using the sequencing feature, tie
the SEQ pin to +Vin. When the signal voltage is applied to the SEQ pin,
the output voltage tracks this voltage until the output reaches the set
point voltage. The SEQ voltage needs to be set higher than the set point
of the module. The output voltage will be follow by the voltage on the
SEQ pin. On the multiple modules application, we can connect SEQ pin
and input signal voltage together to apply on the SEQ pin. Customers
can get multiple modules to track their output voltages to follow the
voltage of the SEQ pin.
To control this module for sequen cing, when the input voltage

applied to the module. The on/off pin is left unconnected so that
the module is ON by default. After applying input voltage to the module, a
minimum of 10msec delay is required before applying voltage on the
SEQ pin and slew rate of the voltage on the SEQ pin see technical

specifications “ dVSEQ/dt “. After 10msec delay, an Analog voltage is
applied to the SEQ pin and the output voltage of the module will track
this voltage until output voltage reaches the set point voltage. To initiate
simultaneous shutdown of the modules, the SEQ pin voltage is lowered
in a controlled manner. Output voltage of the modules track the voltages
below their set-point voltage voltages. A valid input voltage must be
maintained until the tracking and output voltages reach ground potential
to ensure a controlled shutdown of the modules.

2. CB Certificate from an internationally recognized test house in
accordance with EN 60950.
The VPOL20A-12W-SIP series converters do not have an internal fuse.
However, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always
use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a time-delay fuse
with a maximum rating of 25A.
7.1 Layout Design Challenges.
In optimizing thermal design the PCB is utilized as a heat sink. Also
some heat is transferred from the VPOL20A-12W-SIP module to the
main board through connecting pins. The system designer or the end
user must ensure that other components and metal in the vicinity of the
VPOL20A-12W-SIP series meet the spacing requirements to which the
system is approved.
Low resistance and low inductance PCB layout traces are the norm and
should be used where possible. Due consideration must also be given to
proper low impedance tracks between power module, input and output
grounds. The recommended VPOL20A-12W-SIP footprint as shown as

V-Infinity’s VPOL20A-12W-SIP series converters provide unconditional
stability with or without external capacitors. For good transient response
low ESR output capacitors should be located close to the point of load.
For high current applications point has already been made in layout
considerations for low resistance and low inductance tracks.
Output capacitors with its associated ESR values have an impact on
