IMS 6 Series
Summary
The IMS 6 series of board mountable 6 W DC-DC convert-
ers has been designed according to the latest industry re-
quirements and standards. The converters are particularly
suitable for use in mobile or stationary applications in trans-
port, industry or telecommunications where variable input
voltages or high transient voltages are prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 18 V DC up to
75 V DC.
The converters are designed and built according to the
international safety standards IEC/EN 60950, UL 1950,
CAN/CSA C22.2 No.950-95 and are LGA and UL marked.
A special feature is their small case size, DIL 24 with only
9.0 mm profile. The circuit comprises integrated planar
magnetics and all components are automatically assem-
bled and solidly soldered onto a single PCB without any
wire connections. Thanks to the rigid mechanical design the
units withstand an extremely high level of shock and vibra-
tions. Careful considerations of possible thermal stresses
ensure the absence of hot spots providing long life in envi-
ronments where temperature cycles are a reality. The ther-
mal design allows operation at full load up to an ambient
temperature of 71 C in free air without using any potting
material.
Options : SMD pinout or K-pinout, an alternative to the
standard industrial pinout, provide a high level of applica-
tion specific engineering and design-in flexibility.

DC/DC Converters < 40W
IMS6 Series
Functional Description
The IMS 6 DC-DC modules are feedback controlled flyback
converters using current mode PWM (Pulse Width Modula-
tion).
The converter input is protected against transients by
means of a suppressor diode.
The output voltage is monitored by a separate transformer
winding close to the secondary windings and fed back to
the control circuit.
03044
Current limitation is provided by the primary circuit, thus
limiting the total output current (I
o nom
for the single and
I
o1 nom
+
I
o2 nom
for the dual output types).
The close magnetic coupling provided by the planar con-
struction ensures very good regulation and allows for flex-
ible load distribution on dual output types.

Reverse Polarity Protection at Input
The suppressor diode on the input also provides for reverse
polarity protection by conducting current in the reverse di-
rection, thus protecting the unit. An external fuse is required
to limit this current:
t
rise
t
t
start up
– For 24 IMS 6 a fast 0.63 A (F0.63A) fuse is recommended
– For 48 IMS 6 a fast 0.35 A (F035A) fuse is recommended
Filter recommendations for compliance with EN 55022
Electromagnetic emission requirements according to table
Input data
can be achieved by adding an external capacitor
as close as possible to the input terminals.

Inrush Current
The inrush current has been kept as low as possible by
choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor
may be inserted in the input line to limit this current further.
