Block diagram of the converter is shown in Figure 25. The output can be trimmed in the range of 0.9V to 5.0V by a resistor from trim pin to ground. The remote sense is able to compensate for a drop from the output of converter to point of load. Remote On/Off The converter can be turned on/off by remote control. Positive OUTEN logic implies that the converter DC output is enabled when this signal is driven high (greater than 2.4V) or floating and disabled when low (below 0.8V). Negative OUTEN logic is an option. The converter provides an open collector signal, Power Good. The power good signal is pulled low when output is not within ±10% of Vout or when Enable is off. The converter can protect itself into hiccup mode against over current and short circuit condition. Also, the converter will shut down due to over voltage protection is detected. The converter has an over temperature protection which can protect itself by shutting down for an over temperature event. There is a thermal hysteresis of typically 25℃ The remote ON/OFF input allows external circuitry to put the NC converter into a sleep mode. Active-high remote on/off is available as standard. Active-high units of the NC series are turned on if the remote ON/OFF pin is high (or floating). Pulling the pin low will turn off the unit. To guarantee turn-on the enable voltage must be above 2.4V and to turn off the enable voltage must be pulled below 0.8V The remote ON/OFF input can be driven in a variety of ways as shown in Figures 26, 27, and 28. If the remote ON/OFF signal originates on the primary side, the remote ON/OFF input can be driven through a discrete device (e.g. a bipolar signal transistor) or directly from a logic gate output. The output of the logic gate may be an open-collector (or open-drain) device. If the drive signal originates from the opposite of an isolated side, the remote ON/OFF input can be isolated and driven through an opto-coupler. o o VIN GROUND OUTEN o o o Vo TRIM GROUND Safety Considerations It is recommended to add a fuse at input line. As to current rating of the fuse, it depends on the output voltage and current setting.

The lockout occurs between 8.3V to 9.4V. This allows more flexibility in designing and ensures operation on supply lines with large tolerances Over Current and Short-Circuit Protection Figure 28: Remote ON/OFF Input Drive Circuit Remote Sense Remote sense compensates for voltage drops on the output by sensing the actual output voltage at the point of load. The module will compensate for a maximum drop of 400mV. The remote sense connects as shown in Figures 29. This limit includes any increase in voltage due to remote sense compensation and output voltage set point adjustment (trim). o VIN Over Temperature Protection (OTP) The over temperature protection is non-latching and a temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the PCB near one the main MOSFETS. If temperature exceeds a threshold of 130℃(typ.) the converter will shut down. When the substrate temperature has decreased by 25℃ the converter will automatically restart. Vo +SENSE o When over current condition occurs, the converter enters hiccup mode. Ambient temperature influences the current limit inception point since resistance of MOSFET rises with temperature. The unit will not be damaged in an over current condition because it will be protected by the over temperature protection. Over Voltage Protection (OVP) GROUND The converter will shut down when an output over voltage is detected. Once the OVP condition is detected, the controller will stop all PWM outputs and will turn on low-side MOSFET driver to prevent any damage to load. -SENSE GROUND Contact and Distribution Losses Current Sharing (optional) Figure 29: Effective circuit configuration for remote sense operation DS_NC12S60A_02072007 The parallel operation of multiple converters is available with the NC60 (option code B). The converter will share to be within +/ - 10% of load. Note the remote sense lines of the parallel units must be connected at the same point for proper operation in addition to the current share pins being connected. Also, units are intended to be turned on/enabled at the same time. Hot plugging is not recommended. The current share diagram show in Figure 30. 8 FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.)

Also, the output voltage can be adjusted lower by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-down, from the Trim pin to the output pin.

Reflected Ripple Current and Output Ripple and Noise Measurement The measurement set-up outlined in Test Configuration Figure 35 have been used for both input reflected/terminal ripple current and output voltage ripple and noise measurements on NC series converters. In order to simplify the thermal design, a number of thermal de-rating plots are provided. These de-rating graphs show the load current of the NC versus the ambient air temperature and air flow. However, since the thermal performance is heavily dependent upon the final system application, the user needs to ensure the thermal reference point temperatures are kept within the recommended temperature rating. It is recommended that the thermal reference point temperatures are measured using a thermocouple or an IR camera. In order to comply with stringent Delta de-rating criteria, the ambient temperature should never exceed 85℃. Please contact Delta for further support.. The maximum acceptable temperature measured at the thermal reference point is 127℃. This is shown in Figure 36.
