These modules provide precisely regulated output voltage adjustable via external resistor between 0.75Vdc and 3.3Vdc (TOS xx-05yyy) or 0.75Vdc and 5.0Vdc (TOS xx-12yyy) over a wide input voltage range between Vin = 2.4 and 5.5Vdc (TOS xx-05yyy) or 8.3Vdc and 14.0Vdc (TOS xx-12yyy). Their open frame construction and small footprint enable designers to develop cost- and space-efficient solutions.

however, sufficient cooling should be provided to help ensure reliable operation of the unit. Heat is removed by conduction, convention, and radiation to the surrounding Environment. Proper cooling can be verified by measuring the point as the figure below. The temperature at this location should not exceed 125°C (TOS 06-xxyyy) or 115°C (all other TOS converters). When Operating, adequate cooling must be provided to maintain the test point temperature at or below 125°C (TOS 06-xxyyy) or 115°C (all other TOS converters). Although the maximum point Temperature of the power modules is 125°C (TOS 06-xxyyy) or 115°C (all other TOS converters), you can limit this Temperature to a lower value for extremely high reliability. The unit will shutdown if the thermal reference point exceeds 135°C typ. (TOS 06-xxyyy) or 125°C (all other TOS converters) but the thermal shutdown is not intended as a guarantee that the unit will survive temperature beyond its rating. The module will automatically restarts after it cools down.

During short circuit, converter still shut down. The average current during this condition will be very low and the device can be safety in this condition. Output over current protection To provide protection in an over output current condition, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting circuitry and can endure current limiting continuously. When the fault condition occurs, the unit enters hiccup mode. Hiccup-mode is a method of operation in a power supply whose purpose is to protect the power supply from being damaged during an over-current fault condition. It also enables the power supply to restart when the fault is removed. The typical average output current during hiccup is 2A (TOS 06), 3A (TOS 10) and 3.5A (TOS 16). Output Voltage Programming Output voltage can be adjusted from 0.75Vdc to 3.3Vdc (TOS xx-05yyy) or 0.75Vdc to 5.0Vdc (TOS xx-12yyy) by connecting an external resistor between Trim and GND pins. Without this external resistor, the output voltage will be 0.75Vdc. Using the following equation to calculate the value of external resistor for desired output voltage.

The voltage between the Sense pin and Vo pin must not exceed 0.5V. When using Remote Sense, the output voltage of the module can increase, which if the same output current is maintained, the output power of the module increase, too. Make sure that the output power of the module at or below the maximum rated power. When the Remote Sense feature is not being used, leave the Remote Sense pin unconnected. Remote Sense circuit configuration Remote ON/OFF Control Two remote ON/OFF control logic options are available for TOS xx-xxSM and TOS xx-xxSIL. Positive logic On/Off signal, device code suffix “-P”, turns the module ON during a logic High on the On/Off pin and turns OFF during a logic Low. Negative logic On/Off signal, no device code suffix, turns the module OFF during a logic High on the On/Off pin and turns ON during a logic Low. The On/Off pin is an open collector/drain logic input signal (Von/off) that referenced to GND.

A highly inductive source can affect the stability of the module. To make sure the module is stable, input capacitor is necessary that minimize input ripple voltage of the module. TOS 06-05yyy: To minimize input voltage ripple, 2 × 150µF low-ESR polymer capacitors in parallel with 2 × 47µF ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module. TOS 06-12yyy: To minimize input voltage ripple, 2 × 47µF low-ESR tantalum capacitors in parallel with 2 × 22µF very low-ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module. TOS 10-05yyy: To minimize input voltage ripple, 3 × 150µF low-ESR polymer capacitors in parallel with 2 × 47µF ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module. TOS 10-12yyy: To minimize input voltage ripple, 4 × 47µF low-ESR tantalum capacitors in parallel with 4 × 22µF very low-ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module. TOS 16-05yyy: To minimize input voltage ripple, 4 × 150µF low-ESR polymer capacitors in parallel with 4 × 47µF ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module. TOS 16-12yyy: To minimize input voltage ripple, 6 × 47µF low-ESR tantalum capacitors in parallel with 6 × 22µF very low-ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module. Output Filtering For low output ripple voltage, output capacitor with 1µF ceramic and 10µF tantalum capacitors are needed to comply with the published ripple and noise specifications. To reduce the output ripple and improve the dynamic response to a step load change, additional capacitance at the output can be used. Low ESR polymer and ceramic capacitors are recommended to improve the dynamic response of the module. For stable operation of the module, limit the capacitance to less than the maximum output capacitance as specified in the output specification table.

An input line fuse must always be used. This encapsulated power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone operation to an integrated part of sophisticated power architecture. To 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 maximum rating of 6A (TOS 06), 15A (TOS 10) and 20A (TOS 16). Based on the information provided in this data sheet on Inrush energy and maximum dc input current; the same type of fuse with lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data for further information. MTBF and Reliability The MTBF of the TOS DC/DC converters has been calculated using Bellcore TR-NWT-000332 Case I: 50% stress, Operating Temperature at 40°C (Ground fixed and controlled environment) TOS 06-xxSIL and TOS 06-xxSM: MTBF is 2.133×107 hours TOS 10-05SIL and TOS 10-05SM: MTBF = 1,428x107 hours TOS 10-12SIL and TOS 10-12SM: MTBF = 1,409x107 hours TOS 16-05SIL and TOS 16-05SM: MTBF = 1,428x107 hours TOS 16-12SIL and TOS 16-12SM: MTBF = 1,409x107 hours Created by Traco Electronic AG Arp. www.tracopower.com rd Date: April 23 , 2007 / Rev.: 1.2 / Page 37 / 37
