The output can be trimmed in the range of 0.59Vdc to 5.1Vdc by a resistor from Trim pin to Ground. Enable (On/Off) The converter can be turned ON/OFF by remote control with positive on/off (ENABLE pin) logic. The converter DC output is disabled when the signal is driven low (below 0.3V). This pin is also used as the input turn on threshold judgment. Its voltage is percent of Input voltage during floating due to internal connection. So we do not suggest using an active high signal (higher than 0.8V) to turn on the module because this high level voltage will disable UVLO function. The module will turn on when this pin is floating and the input voltage is higher than the threshold. The converter can protect itself by entering hiccup mode against over current and short circuit condition. Also, the converter will shut down when an over voltage protection is detected. The ENABLE (on/off) input allows external circuitry to put the NE converter into a low power dissipation (sleep) mode. Positive ENABLE is available as standard. With the active high function, the output is guaranteed to turn on if the ENABLE pin is driven above 0.8V. The output will turn off if the ENABLE pin voltage is pulled below 0.3V The ENABLE pin is also used as input UVLO function. Leaving the Enable floating, the module will turn on if the input voltage is higher than turn on threshold and turn off if the input voltage is lower than turn off threshold. The default Turn-on voltage is 4.3V with 1V Hysteresis. The Turn-on voltage may be adjusted with a resistor placed between the “Enable” pin and “Ground” pin. The formula for calculating the value of this resistor is: 50 × ( R + 18.2) + 1.5 18.2 × R = VEN _ RTH − 1 VEN _ RTH = Safety Considerations It is recommended that the user to provide a very fast-acting type fuse in the input line for safety. The output voltage set-point and the output current in the application could define the amperage rating of the fuse. VEN _ FTH Enable NE20A R Fig. 18. Enable POR circuit. V EN _ FTH is the falling threshold VEN _ RTH is the rising threshold that you want. R (Kohm) is the outen resistor that you connect from Enable pin to the GND Also, you will see an active high voltage will disable the input UVLO function DS_NE12S20A_08042011 6 FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.) The ENABLE input can be driven in a variety of ways as shown in Figures 19 and 20. If the ENABLE signal comes from the primary side of the circuit, the ENABLE can be driven through either a bipolar signal transistor (Figure 18).If the enable signal comes from the secondary side, then an opto-coupler or other isolation devices must be used to bring the signal across the voltage isolation (please see Figure 19). Output Voltage Programming The output voltage of the NE series is trimmable by connecting an external resistor between the trim pin and output ground as shown Figure 21 and the typical trim resistor values are shown in Table 1.

The NE20 module has a trim range of 0.59V to 5.0V. The trim resistor equation for the NE20A is: Rs(Ω) = 1182 Vout − 0.591 Vout is the output voltage setpoint Rs is the resistance between Trim and Ground Rs values should not be less than 240Ω Input Under-Voltage Lockout The input under-voltage lockout prevents the converter from being damaged while operating when the input voltage is too low. The lockout occurs between 3.3V to 4.3V. Over-Current and Short-Circuit Protection The NE series modules have non-latching over-current and short-circuit protection circuitry. When over current condition occurs, the module goes into the non-latching hiccup mode. When the over-current condition is removed, the module will resume normal operation.

The voltage drop across the MOSFET is also a function of the MOSFET’s Rds(on). Rds(on) is affected by temperature, therefore ambient temperature will affect the current limit inception point. The detection of the Rds(on) of MOSFETs also acts as an over temperature protection since high temperature will cause the Rds(on) of the MOSFETs to increase, eventually triggering over-current protection. DS_NE12S20A_08042011 7 FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.) Output Capacitance Voltage Margining Adjustment There is internal output capacitor on the NE series modules. Hence, no external output capacitor is required for stable operation. Output voltage margin adjusting can be implemented in the NE modules by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-up, from the Trim pin to the Ground for margining up the output voltage. Also, the output voltage can be adjusted lower by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-down, from the Trim pin to the voltage source Vt. Figure 22 shows the circuit configuration for output voltage margining adjustment.

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.
