F LV12S15-150 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) The converter output is disabled until the input voltage exceeds the UVLO turn-on limit. The converter will remain ON until the input voltage falls below the UVLO turn-off limit. Over Current Protection The converter is protected from short circuit and over current conditions. During these fault conditions, the converter output will ‘hiccup’. The converter output will recover once the short or over current fault is removed. Over Temperature Protection (OTP) The converter has internal thermal protection that will shut the converter OFF once the case temperature exceeds the OTP turn-off limit. The converter will resume operation when the case temperature has dropped below the OTP turn-on limit. Input Filter It is recommended to bypass the +Vin and –Vin pins of the converter with a minimum of 680uF (100V minimum) capacitor. No other bypassing is needed. However, to reduce the input ripple beyond what is seen in Photo 1, larger values of capacitance may be used. Additionally, an inductor may be placed between the source and the previously mentioned capacitor. No inductor should be placed between the capacitor and the input to the converter. Figure 2: Input Filter Setup +Vin Low Impedance Source 680 F 1 F electrolytic capacitor ceramic capacitor LV12S15-150 -Vin Output Filter No additional output capacitor is needed for the power supply to operate. However, to reduce the ripple and noise on the output, additional capacitance may be added. A 100uF Ceramic capacitor may be added across the +Vo and –Vo pins to reduce the ripple and spike noise. Additional capacitance in the form of a tantalum or aluminum electrolytic may also be placed across these pins in order reduce ripple and improve the transient peak-to-peak voltage deviation. Remote Sense To improve the regulation at the load, route the connections from the -RS and the +RS pins to the –Vo and +Vo connections at the load. This will force the converter to regulate the voltage at the load and not at the pins of the converter (refer to Graph 9). If it is not desired to use the Remotes Sense feature, the –RS and +RS pins may be left open or they may be shorted to the -Vo and +Vo pins respectively. Shorting the RS pins to the Vo pins will reduce the voltage drops through the converter pins. (888) 597-WALL www.wallindustries.com Page 4 of 15 TECHNICAL DATASHEET Rev. F LV12S15-150 Remote ON/OFF The converter has the ability to be remotely turned ON or OFF. The LV series is Active-High. Active-High means that a logic high at the ON/OFF pin will enable the supply (Figure 3). With Active-High, if the ON/OFF pin is left floating, the supply will be enabled.

F LV12S15-150 Output Voltage Trim: (5V, 12V, 15V, and 20V Models) The output is adjustable +/–10% of rated output voltage. To trim the output voltage down, place the trim resistor between the Trim and -Rs pins (Figure 5). To trim the output voltage up, place the trim resistor between the Trim and +Rs pins (Figure 4). The value of the trim resistor with respect to the desired output voltage (Vo) can be derived from the following formulas, or looked up on the trim table (Table 2).

F TECHNICAL DATASHEET LV12S15-150 Paralleling Converters The LV series converters may be paralleled both for redundancy and for higher output current. However, in order to do this, a high-current, low Vf, schottky diode must be placed at the +Vo pin of each supply as shown in Figure 6. To improve sharing, tie the two TRIM pins together. The converters may be trimmed by adding a resistor value from Table 2 from each TRIM pin to ±RS pin, or alternatively, a single resistor of half the value of Table 2 from the common TRIM pins to the common ±RS pins.
