DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS
The NC15 is a single phase and voltage mode controlled
Buck topology. Block diagram of the converter is shown in
Figure 23. The output can be trimmed in the range of
0.9Vdc 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 this signal is driven
high (greater than 2.4V) or floating and disabled when the
signal is driven low (below 0.8V). Negative on/off logic is
optional and could also be ordered.
The converter provides an open collector signal called
Power Good. The power good signal is pulled low when
output is not within ±10% of Vout or Enable is OFF.
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 NC converter into a low power dissipation (sleep)
mode. Positive (active-high) ENABLE is available as
standard.
Positive ENABLE (active-high) units of the NC 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 2.4V. The output will turn off if the ENABLE
pin voltage is pulled below .8V.
The ENABLE input can be driven in a variety of ways as
shown in Figures 24, 25 and 26. If the ENABLE signal
comes from the primary side of the circuit, the ENABLE
can be driven through either a bipolar signal transistor
(Figure 24) or a logic gate (Figure 25). 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 26).

It is recommended that the user to provide a very

FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.)
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 7.0V to
8.0V.
Over-Current and Short-Circuit Protection
The NC 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.
An over current condition is detected by measuring the
voltage drop across the high-side MOSFET. 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 NC06/NC15/NC20 module has a trim range of 0.9V
to 5.0V. The trim resistor equation for the NC6A/NC15A/
NC20A is :
Rs (Ω) =
1170
Vout − 0.9
Vout is the output voltage setpoint
Rs is the resistance between Trim and Ground

The detection of the Rds(on) of the high side MOSFET
also acts as an over temperature protection since high
temperature will cause the Rds(on) of the MOSFET to
increase, eventually triggering over-current protection.
Vin
Output Voltage Programming
Ground
The output voltage of the NC series is trimmable by
connecting an external resistor between the trim pin and
output ground as shown Figure 27 and the typical trim
resistor values are shown in Figure 28. The output can
also be set by an external voltage connected to trim pin as
shown in Figure 29.

FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.)
Output Capacitance
Power Good
There is no output capacitor on the NC series modules.
Hence, an external output capacitor is required for stable
operation. For NC15 modules, an external 6.3V/680µF
low ESR capacitor (for example, OSCON) 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
5mA 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.
Current Sink Capability
The NC series converters are able to sink current as well
as function as a current source. It is able to sink the full
output current at any output voltage up to and including
2.5V. This feature allows the NC series fit into any
voltage termination application.
Voltage Margining Adjustment
Output voltage margin adjusting can be implemented in
the NC modules by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-up, from
the Trim pin to the Ground for 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 30 shows the circuit
configuration for output voltage margining adjustment.
It is important to places these low ESR capacitors as
close to the load as possible in order to get improved
dynamic response and better voltage regulation,
especially when the load current is large. Several of these
low ESR capacitors could be used together to further
lower the ESR.
Please refer to individual datasheet for the maximum
allowed start-up load capacitance for each NC series as it
is varied between series.
Reflected Ripple Current and Output Ripple and
Noise Measurement
The measurement set-up outlined in Figure 31 has been
used for both input reflected/ terminal ripple current and
output voltage ripple and noise measurements on NC
series converters.

Paralleling
NC06/NC15/NC20 converters do not have built-in current
sharing (paralleling) ability. Hence, paralleling of multiple
NC06/NC15/NC20 converters is not recommended.

THERMAL CONSIDERATION
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 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’’).
Thermal Derating
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.
