Description
The IMX7 Series of board-mountable 7 Watt DC-DC converters
has been designed according to the latest industry require-
ments and standards. The converters are particularly suitable
for use in mobile or stationary applications in transport,
railways, industry, or telecom, where variable input voltages or
high transient voltages are prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 8.4 VDC up to
150 VDC with four different types, the converters are available
with single and electrically isolated double outputs from 3.3 up
to 48 VDC with flexible load distribution on double outputs.
Features include efficient input and output filtering with
unsurpassed transient and surge protection, low output ripple
and noise, consistently high efficiency over the entire input
voltage range, and high reliability as well as excellent dynamic
response to load and line changes.
The converters provide supplementary insulation with SELV
outputs as for instances required in battery-supported systems,
where the bus voltage may exceed the SELV limit of 60 V. They
are designed and built according to the international safety
standards IEC/EN 60950 and approved by TÜV, UL, and cUL.
In addition, 70IMX7 and 110IMX7 models are CE-marked.
The circuit is comprised of integral planar magnetics, and all
components are automatically assembled and solidly soldered
onto a single PCB without any wire connections. Magnetic
feedback ensures maximum reliability and repeatability in the
control loop over all operating conditions. Careful con-
siderations of possible thermal stresses ensure the absence of
hot spots, providing long life in environments where
temperature cycles are a reality. The thermal design allows
operation at full load up to an ambient temperature of 85 °C in
free air without using any potting material. For extremely high
vibration environments the case has holes for screw mounting.
Several options such as open-frame provide a high level of
application-specific engineering and design-in flexibility.

IMX7 DC-DC Series Data Sheet
7-Watt DC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The IMX7 Series DC-DC converters are feedback-controlled
flyback converters using current mode PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation).
In the case of single-output models, the output is directly
sensed and fed back to the primary control circuit via a pulse
transformer, resulting in tight regulation of the output voltage.
The R input is referenced to the secondary side and allows for
programming the output voltages in the range 75 to 105%
V
o nom
, using either an external resistor or an external voltage
source.
For double-output models, the output voltage is sensed by a
separate transformer winding close to the secondary and fed
back to the primary control circuit. The close magnetic coupling
provided by the planar construction ensures very good
regulation and allows for flexible load distribution. The Trim
input (R) is referenced to the primary side of double-output
models, and allows for programming the output voltages in the
range 100 to 105%
V
o nom
by means of an external resistor, or
within 75 to 100%
V
o nom
, using an external voltage source.
Current limitation is provided by the primary circuit, thus limiting
the total output current (I
o nom
for the single- and the sum of
I
o1 nom
and
I
o2 nom
for the double-output models).
The inhibit input i allows remote control of the outputs; pin i
must be connected to Vi– to activate the converter.

Input Transient Voltage Protection
In many applications transient voltages on the input of the
converter are always possible caused, for example by short
circuits between Vi+ and Vi–, where the network inductance
may cause high energy pulses.
In order to protect the converters, transient suppressors are
fitted to the input; see table below:

To achieve IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance, an
additional inductor and capacitor should be provided externally
as shown in the figure below. The components should have
similar characteristics as listed in table 4.
Note:
The suppressor diode D is only necessary for 20IMX7
models. To withstand 150 V transients according to 19 Pfl 1,
applicable for 40 IMX7 models, the same external circuitry with
similar components as for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2
compliance can be used.

The built-in overvoltage trigger shuts down the converter at
approx. 38 V protecting the input up to 50 V. For higher transient
voltages an external suppressor or voltage limiting circuit as, e.g.,
for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance should be provided.
If transients generating currents above the peak pulse current are
possible, an external limiting network such as the circuit
recommended for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance is
necessary.

Input Fuse and Reverse Polarity Protection
The suppressor diode on the input also provides for reverse

direction, thus protecting the converter. An external fuse is
required to limit this current. We recommend:
