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. Undervoltage Lockout 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 the turn-on threshold and turn off if the input voltage is lower than the turn-off threshold. The default turn-on voltage is 3.1V with 300mV hysteresis. The turn-on voltage may be adjusted with a resistor placed between the “Enable” pin and “Ground” pin. The equation for calculating the value of this resistor is: 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. 15.05 × (R + 6.34 ) + 0.8 6.34 × R = VEN _ RTH − 0.3V V EN _ RTH = VEN _ FTH Enable NE10A/6A R Fig. 18.

DS_NE12S10A_02012007 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 NE10 module has a trim range of 1.0V to 3.3V. The trim resistor equation for the NE10A is : Rs (Ω) = 1184 Vout − 0.592 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 2.8V to 3.1V. 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. Please see the electrical characteristics for details of the OCP function. 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_NE12S10A_02012007 7 FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.) Output Capacitance Voltage Margining Adjustment There is output capacitor on the NE series modules. Hence, an 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.

DS_NE12S10A_02012007 8 THERMAL CONSIDERATION THERMAL CURVES (NE12S0A0V10) Thermal management is an important part of the system design. 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.

The power module is mounted on a test PWB and is vertically positioned within the wind tunnel. The space between the neighboring PWB and the top of the power module is constantly kept at 6.35mm (0.25’’). 600LFM 10 9 Natural Convection 100LFM 8 7 200LFM 6 300LFM 5 Thermal Derating 400LFM 4 3 500LFM Heat can be removed by increasing airflow over the module. To enhance system reliability, the power module should always be operated below the maximum operating temperature. If the temperature exceeds the maximum module temperature, reliability of the unit may be affected. 2 1 0 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 Ambient Temperature (℃) Figure 26: Output current vs. ambient temperature and air velocity @Vin=12V, Vout=0.9V(Through PCB Orientation) PWB FACING PWB NE12S0A0V10(standard) Output Current vs. Ambient Temperature and Air Velocity @Vin=12V Vout=2.5V (Through PCB Orientation) Output Current (A) 11 MODULE 10 600LFM 9 Natural Convection 8 AIR VELOCITY AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE MEASURED BELOW THE MODULE 100LFM 7 200LFM 6 50.8 (2.0”) 300LFM 5 4 AIR FLOW 400LFM 3 2 11 (0.43”) 22 (0.87”) 500LFM 1 0 25 Note: Wind tunnel test setup figure dimensions are in millimeters and (Inches) Figure 24: Wind tunnel test setup DS_NE12S10A_02012007 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 Ambient Temperature (℃) Figure 27: Output current vs. ambient temperature and air velocity@ Vin=12V, Vout=2.5V(Through PCB Orientation) 9 THERMAL CURVES (NE12S0A0V10) NE12S0A0V10(standard) Output Current vs. Ambient Temperature and Air Velocity @Vin=12V Vout=5.0V (Through PCB Orientation) NE12S0A0V10(standard) Output Current vs. Ambient Temperature and Air Velocity @Vin=3.3V Vout=0.9V (Through PCB Orientation) Output Current (A) Output Current (A) 11 11 10 10 600LFM 9 9 Natural Convection 8 8 Natural Convection 7 100LFM 6 100LFM 200LFM 7 300LFM 6 200LFM 400LFM 5 5 300LFM 500LFM 4 4 400LFM 3 3 600LFM 2 2 500LFM 1 1 0 0 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 25 75 80 85 Ambient Temperature (℃) 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 Ambient Temperature (℃) Figure 31: Output current vs. ambient temperature and air velocity @Vin=3.3V, Vout=0.9V(Through PCB Orientation) Figure 28: Output current vs. ambient temperature and air velocity @Vin=12V, Vout=5.0V(Through PCB Orientation) NE12S0A0V10(standard) Output Current vs. Ambient Temperature and Air Velocity @Vin=5.0V Vout=0.9V (Through PCB Orientation) Output Current (A) 11 30 NE12S0A0V10(standard) Output Current vs. Ambient Temperature and Air Velocity @Vin=3.3V Vout=2.5V (Through PCB Orientation) Output Current (A) 11 10 10 Natural Convection 9 Natural Convection 9 100LFM 8 100LFM 8 200LFM 7 200LFM 7 300LFM 6 300LFM 6 400LFM 400LFM 5 5 500LFM 500LFM 4 4 3 600LFM 3 2 2 1 1 0 600LFM 0 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 Ambient Temperature (℃) Figure 29: Output current vs. ambient temperature and air velocity@ Vin=5V, Vout=0.9V(Through PCB Orientation) 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 Ambient Temperature (℃) Figure 32: Output current vs. ambient temperature and air velocity @Vin=3.3V, Vout=2.5V(Through PCB Orientation) NE12S0A0V10(standard) Output Current vs. Ambient Temperature and Air Velocity @Vin=5.0V Vout=2.5V (Through PCB Orientation) Output Current (A) 11 10 Natural Convection 9 100LFM 8 200LFM 7 300LFM 6 400LFM 5 500LFM 4 3 600LFM 2 1 0 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 Ambient Temperature (℃) Figure 30: Output current vs. ambient temperature and air velocity@ Vin=5.0V, Vout=2.5V(Through PCB Orientation) DS_NE12S10A_02012007 10 MECHANICAL DRAWING VERTICAL HORIZONTAL TBD DS_NE12S10A_02012007 11 PART NUMBERING SYSTEM NE 12 Product Series Input Voltage NE- S 0A0 Number of Output Voltage outputs 12- 3.0~13.8V S- Single Non-isolated V 10 P N Mounting Output Current ON/OFF Logic Pin Length P- Positive N- 0.150” 0A0 - programmable H- Horizontal output 10-10A V- Vertical F A Option Code F- RoHS 6/6 A- 5 pins (Lead Free) Series MODEL LIST Packaging Input Voltage Output Voltage Output Current Efficiency 12Vin @ 100% load NE12S0A0V10PNFA Vertical 3.0V~ 13.8Vdc 0.59V~ 5.1Vdc 10A 94.0%@5Vout NE12S0A0H10PNFA Horizontal 3.0V~ 13.8Vdc 0.59V~ 5.1Vdc 10A 94.0%@5Vout Model Name CONTACT: www.delta.com.tw/dcdc USA: Telephone: East Coast: (888) 335 8201 West Coast: (888) 335 8208 Fax: (978) 656 3964 Email: [email protected] Europe: Telephone: +41 31 998 53 11 Fax: +41 31 998 53 53 Email: [email protected] Asia & the rest of world: Telephone: +886 3 4526107 ext. 6220 Fax: +886 3 4513485 Email: [email protected] WARRANTY Delta offers a two (2) year limited warranty.
