Description
The Bel VRP1-30E3Ax is part of the non-isolated dc/dc converter Power Module series. The module uses a SIP
package. These converters are available output voltage trim via the 3 bit VID range from 1.025 Vdc to 1.2 Vdc
over a wide range of input voltage (Vin = 6.5 - 13.8 Vdc).The efficiency is typically 82% @ 12Vin and 1.2Vout at
full load.

Remote Sense
This module has remote sense compensation feature. It can minimize the effects of resistance between
module’s output and load in system layout and facilitates accurate voltage regulation at load terminals or
other selected point.
1. The remote sense lines carries very little current and hence do not require a large cross-sectional area.
2. This module compensates for a maximum drop of 10% of the nominal output voltage.
3. If the unit is already trimmed up, the available remote sense compensation range should be
correspondingly reduced. The total voltage increased by trim and remote sense should not exceed 10%
of the nominal output voltage.
4. When using remote sense compensation, all the resistance, parasitic inductance and capacitance of the
system are incorporated within the feedback loop of this module. It can make an effect on the module's
compensation, affecting the stability and dynamic response. A 0.1uF ceramic capacitor can be
connected at the point of load to de-couple noise on the sense wires.
5. Recommend the connection of remote sense compensation as below figure. There are a resistor RS+
(51.1 ohm) from Vo+ to Sense+ and a resistor RS- (51.1 ohm)) from Vo- to Sense- inside of this module.

6. If not using remote sense compensation, please connect sense directly to output at module's pin, that is,
connect sense+ to Vo+ and sense- to Vo- at module's pin, the shorter the better. See below figure.

Power Good
1. This module has a power good indicator output. Power good pin used positive logic and is open collector.
2. Power good pin can sink 10mA.
3. The maximum voltage pulled up externally on Power Good pin should not exceed 6V.
4. When a successful soft-start is completed, the power good pin will be pulled high.
