Summary
The IMX 15 and IMY 15 series of board mountable 15 Watt
DC-DC converters has been designed according to the lat-
est industry requirements and standards. The converters
are particularly suitable for use in mobile or stationary appli-
cations in transport, railways, industry, or telecommunica-
tion where variable input voltages or high transient voltages
are prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 8.4 up to 150 V
with 3 different types, the units are available with single,
dual and electrically isolated double outputs from 3.3 up to
48 V externally adjustable, with flexible load distribution on
dual and double output units. A shut down input allows re-
mote converter on-off. Features include consistently high
efficiency over the entire input voltage range, high reliability
and excellent dynamic response to load and line changes.
The converters are designed and built according to the in-
ternational safety standards IEC/EN 60950, UL 1950, CAN/
CSA C22.2 No.950-95. LGA, UL and cUL approvals are in
progress. The 20 IMX 15 and 40 IMX 15 types provide sup-
plementary insulation. Connected to a secondary circuit the
40 IMX 15 types provide SELV outputs even if the bus volt-
age at the converter input exceeds the SELV-limit of
60 V DC. The 110 IMY 15 types provide double insulation
and are CE marked. They may be connected to e.g. a recti-
fied 110 V AC source without any further isolation barrier.
The circuit comprises of integrated planar magnetics and
all components are automatically assembled and solidly
soldered onto a single PCB without any wire connection.
Magnetic feedback ensures maximum reliability and re-
peatability in the control loop over all operating conditions.
Careful considerations 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 71°C in free air without using any potting material. For
extremely high vibration environments the case has holes
for screw mounting. Various options as e.g. extended tem-
perature range –40...85°C or an alternative pinout provide
a high level of application specific engineering and design-
in flexibility.

Functional Description
The IMX/IMY 15 series of DC-DC converters are magnetic
feed-back controlled flyback converters using current mode
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). The -05- and -0503- output
voltage versions as well as all double output versions fitted
with option R feature an active magnetic feedback loop via
a pulse transformer which results in very tight regulation of
the output voltage (see fig.:
Block diagram, single output
types, -0503- types and double output types with option R).
The output voltages of these versions can be adjusted via
the R input. The R input is referenced to the secondary side
and allows for programming of the output voltages in the
range of approximately 80 to 105% of
U
o nom
using either an
external resistor or an external voltage source.
The voltage regulation on the dual and double output ver-
sions without option R is achieved with a passive trans-
former feedback from the main transformer (see fig.:
Block
03039
diagram, for double output types).
The output voltages can
be adjusted via the Trim input. The Trim input is referenced
to the primary side of the converter and allows for program-
ming of the output voltages in the range 100 to 105% of
U
o nom
by an external resistor or within 75 to 105% using an
external voltage source. The load regulation output charac-
teristic allows for paralleling of one or several double output
units with equal output voltages.
Current limitation is provided by the primary circuit, thus
limiting the total output power of double output types. The
shut down input allows remote converter on/off.
Overtemperature protection will shut down the unit in ex-
cessive overload conditions with automatic restart approxi-
mately every 50 to 60 ms.

Input Transient Voltage Protection
A built-in suppressor diode provides effective protection
against input transients which may be caused for example
by short-circuits accross the input lines where the network
inductance may cause high energy pulses.
The inrush current has been kept as low as possible by
choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor
may be installed in the input line to further reduce this cur-
rent.

For very high energy transients as for example to achieve
IEC/EN 61000-4-5 or ETR 283 (19 Pfl1) compliance (as per
table:

an external inductor and
capacitor are required. The components should have simi-
lar characteristics as listed in table:

Input Undervoltage Lockout
A special feature of these units is the accurate undervoltage
lockout protection which protects the units (and system)
from large currents caused by operation at low voltages.
This ensures easier start-up in distributed power systems.

Reverse Polarity Protection
The built-in suppressor diode also provides for reverse po-

verse direction. An external fuse is required to limit this cur-
rent.
