in excess of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods can adversely affect device reliability. Input voltage range of V

Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone operation to an
integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not
included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety
agencies require a normal blow fuse with a maximum rating of 10A (see Safety Specifications on page ).

Output Control
The control pin is a dual-function port that serves to enable/disable the converter or provide a means of adjusting
the output voltage over a prescribed range. When the control pin is grounded, the converter is disabled. With the
pin left open, the converter regulates to its specified output voltage. For any other voltage applied to the pin, the
output voltage follows this relationship:

Output Control
(continued)
The output voltage may be margined up or down in direct proportion to the percentage deviation of the control pin
from 1.5V. The control pin may be driven by an imposed voltage to margin up or down or shunted by a resistive ele-
ment to ground for margin down. The preferred margin technique employs an external control voltage to margin up
or down. A resistor shunt may be used to margin down but the reference will sag due to its internal impedance.

Because margining affects the system reference, margining beyond 10% is unacceptable and 0% - 5% is desirable.
Margining the unit down beyond 5% requires derating the available current by 1% for every percent beyond 5 that
the module is margined down. For example, if a module were margined down 7%, output current would have to be
derated 2%.
Special Note:The 3.3/2.5V version must be operated at nominal line to achieve margin up.
The margin up available for this version is maximum 5%
Output Regulation
These modules make use of inherent output resistance to facilitate improved transient response. This means that
the output voltage will decrease with increasing output current. For this reason, the total DC regulation window at
any given operating temperature is comprised of a no-load setpoint and a load dependent voltage drop due to mod-
ule output resistance. Regulation data provided in Table 2 includes both the initial set point and this voltage drop.
Because Table 2 includes output resistance drop, the maximum column represents a no-load condition while the
minimum column represents a full-load condition. Production test limits are set such that no module could pass
with a full-load regulation point equal to the maximum column. This means that at any operating current, the regu-
lation will always be better than the total window specified in Table 2.
