DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS
The D12S2R550 uses a two phase and voltage mode
controlled buck topology. The output can be trimmed in the
range of 0.6Vdc to 5.0Vdc by a resistor from Trim pin to
Ground.
Enable (On/Off)
The converter can be turned ON/OFF by remote control.
Positive on/off (ENABLE pin) logic implies that the converter
DC output is enabled when the signal is driven high (greater
than 1.2V) or floating and disabled when the signal is driven
low (below 0.6V).
The ENABLE (on/off) input allows external circuitry to put the
D12S2R550 converter into a low power dissipation (sleep) mode.
Positive ENABLE is available as standard.
Positive ENABLE units of the D12S2R550 series are turned on if
the ENABLE pin is high or floating. Pulling the pin low will turn off
the unit. With the active high function, the output is guaranteed to
turn on if the ENABLE pin is driven above 1.2V. The output will
turn off if the ENABLE pin voltage is pulled below 0.6V.
The converter provides an open collector Power Good signal.
The power good signal is pulled low when output is not within
±10% of Vout or Enable is OFF.
Input Under-Voltage Lockout
For output voltages above 1.8V, please refer to Figure 29
below for minimum input voltage requirement for proper
module operations.
The input under-voltage lockout prevents the converter from
being damaged while operating when the input voltage is too
low. The under-voltage lockout is adjustable by adding a resistor
(Figure 30) between Enable pin and ground pin per the following
equation:
The converter can protect itself by entering hiccup mode
against over current and short circuit condition.
Re n( K) 
315
14Ven  3.8
Default lockout range is between 4.3V and 4.0V.
Safety Considerations
Unit
It is recommended that the user to provide a 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.

FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.)
Over-Current and Short-Circuit Protection
The D12S2R550 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.
Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage of the D12S2R550 is trimmable by
connecting an external resistor between the trim pin and output
ground as shown Figure 33 and the typical trim resistor values
are shown in Table 1.
Unit
An over current condition is detected by measuring the voltage
drop across the inductor. The voltage drop across the inductor is
also a function of the inductor’s DCR.
Vin

Trim(+)
Note that none of the module specifications are guaranteed

GND
GND
Output Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The converter will shut down when an output over voltage
protection is detected. Once the OVP condition is detected,
controller will stop all PWM outputs and turn on low-side
MOSFET to prevent any damage to load.
Remote Sense
The D12S2R550 provide Vo remote sensing to achieve proper
regulation at the load points and reduce effects of distribution
losses on output line. In the event of an open remote sense line,
the module shall maintain local sense regulation through an
internal resistor. The module shall correct for a total of 0.5V of
loss. The remote sense connects as shown in Figure 32.
Rtrim

The D12S2R550 module has a trim range of 0.6V to 5.0V. The
trim resistor equation for the D12S2R550 is:

Output Capacitance
There are internal output capacitors on the D12S2R550
modules. Hence, no external output capacitor is required for
stable operation.
The converter provides an open collector signal called Power
Good. This output pin uses positive logic and is open collector.
This power good output is able to sink 4mA and set high when
the output is within ±10% of output set point. The power good
signal is pulled low when output is not within
±10% of Vout or Enable is OFF.
Paralleling
D12S2R550 converters do not have built-in current sharing
(paralleling) ability. Hence, paralleling of multiple D12S2R550
converters is not recommended.

THERMAL CONSIDERATION
THERMAL CURVES
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.
Figure 35: Temperature measurement location* The allowed
maximum hot spot temperature is defined at 120℃
Output Current (A)
The following figure shows the wind tunnel
characterization setup. 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’’).

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.
