Description
SIS12X
converters are through-hole-mount, low-cost, non-isolated single-output DC-DC converters. The products
provide point-of-load conversion of a single 12V input voltage into a regulated low output voltage with up to 12A of
output current. The converters also feature remote on/off and output trim functions. High efficiency, low cost, high
reliability and the board-saving vertical mounting option make these converters an excellent choice for powering
ASICs in a distributed power architecture.

Note: A minimum 100 µF input tantalum capacitor parallel with 10µF ceramic capacitor( ESR=10mΩ ) is needed to operate the converters
down to –40ºC. For 0ºC and above operation, a 100µF input tantalum capacitor parallel with 10uF ceramic capacitor( ESR=10mΩ ) is
recommended near the input pin of the unit to enhance the performance although the unit will not be damaged (by the input ripple current)
without the capacitor, the ceramic capacitor should be located near the input pin not far as 5mm.

the input and input return, of the SIS12X converters
to ensure optimized performance.
If the magnitude of the inrush current needs to be
limited, see the “Inrush Current Control Application
Note” on www.power-one.com.
Shutdown Feature Description
The ON/OFF pin in the SIS12X converters functions
as a normal soft shutdown. It is referenced to the
GND pin (see Figure 2). When the ON/OFF pin is
pulled low to within 0.5Vdc reference to the ground,
the output is turned OFF and the unit goes into a
very low input power mode.

When the pin is left floating or pulled high to Vin, the
unit is ON and operates normally.
An open collector switch is recommended to control
the voltage between the ON/OFF pin and the GND
pin of the converter. The ON/OFF pin is pulled up
internally, so no external voltage source is required.
The user should avoid connecting a resistor
between the ON/OFF pin and the +Vin pin.
When the ON/OFF pin is used to achieve remote
control, the user must take care to insure that the pin
reference for the control is really the GND pin. The
control signal must not be referenced ahead of EMI
filtering, or remotely from the unit. Optically coupling
the information and locating the optical coupler
directly at the module will solve any of these
problems.
Output Voltage Trim
The trim feature allows the user to adjust each of the
output voltages by ±10% from the nominal. This can
be used to compensate distribution drops, perform
margining in production, or accommodate other

input devices to the SIS12X series module.
Nevertheless, if the system using the converter
needs to receive safety agency approval, certain
rules must be followed in the design of the system.
In particular, all of the creepage and clearance
requirements of the end-use safety requirements
must be observed.
These documents include
UL60950 - CSA60950-00 and EN60950, although
specific applications may have other or additional
requirements.
The SIS12X converters have
no internal fuse.
An
external fuse must be provided to protect the system
from catastrophic failure. A fuse with a rating not
greater than 10A, 125V is recommended. The user
can select a lower rating fuse based upon the inrush
transient and the maximum input current of the
converter, which occurs at the minimum input
voltage. Both input traces and the chassis ground
trace (if applicable) must be capable of conducting a
current of 1.5 times the value of the fuse without
opening. The fuse must not be placed in the
grounded input line, if any.
In order for the output of the SIS12X converter to be
considered as SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage),
according to all IEC60950 based standards, the input
to the module needs to be supplied by an isolated
secondary source providing a SELV also.
Thermal Considerations
The SIS12X converters are designed for natural or
forced convection cooling. The output power of the
converters is determined by the maximum
semiconductor junction temperature. To provide
reliable long-term operation of the converters,
Power-One limits maximum allowable junction
temperature to 120°C.
The graphs in Figures 4 show the maximum output
current of the SIS12X converters at different local
ambient temperatures at both natural and forced
(longitudinal airflow direction, from pin 3 to pin 1)

adjusted from the nominal
The Trim Function
The trim mechanism for the SIS12X is a negative
one. The output is trimmed up with a resistor from
the TRIM pin to the GND pin and trimmed down with
a resistor from the TRIM pin to the respective +Vout
pin.

Safety Considerations

input-to-output.
Relevant isolation requirements according to all
IEC60950 based standards must be provided by the
When the output voltage is trimmed up, the output power from
the converter must not exceed its maximum rating. This is
determined by measuring the output voltage on the output pins,
and multiplying it by the output current.
In order to avoid creating apparent load regulation degradation, it
is important that the trim resistors are connected directly to the
Vout and output GND pins, and not to the load or to traces going
to the load.
