The HBC48T25120 power module is an open frame half-
brick DC-DC converter providing a regulated and isolated
output voltage of 12.0 VDC with an output current up to 25
A suitable for today’s Distributed Power Architecture
applications. It offers outstanding thermal performance in
high temperature environments.
This performance is accomplished through the use of
patented/patent-pending
circuits,
packaging,
and
processing techniques to achieve ultra-high efficiency,
excellent thermal management, and a low mechanical
profile.
This low-body profile minimizes impedance to system
airflow, thereby enhancing cooling for both upstream and
downstream devices. For extended cooling purposes, a
baseplate option is available. Attaching a heat sink or cold
plate further enhances the unit’s capability. The use of 100%
automation for assembly, coupled with advanced electronic
circuits and thermal design, results in a product with
extremely high reliability.
Operating from a 36-75 V input, the HBC48T25120 converter
provides an output that can be trimmed from –20% to +10%
of the nominal output voltage, thereby providing outstanding
design flexibility.

HBC48T25120
Input and Output Impedance
These power converters have been designed to be stable with no external capacitors when used in low inductance input and
output circuits.
In many applications, the inductance associated with the distribution from the power source to the input of the converter can
affect the stability of the converter. The addition of a 100 µF electrolytic capacitor with an ESR < 1
Ω
across the input helps
to ensure stability of the converter. In many applications, the user has to use decoupling capacitance at the load. The power
converter will exhibit stable operation with external load capacitance up to 15,000 µF on the output.
Additionally, see the EMC section of this data sheet for discussion of other external components which may be required for
control of conducted emissions.
ON/OFF (Pin 2)
The ON/OFF pin is used to turn the power converter on or off remotely via a system signal. There are two remote control
options available, positive and negative logic, with both referenced to Vin(-). A typical connection is shown in Fig. A.

Fig. A: Circuit configuration for ON/OFF function.
The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF pin is at a logic high and turns off when at a logic low. The converter is
on when the ON/OFF pin is left open. See the Electrical Specifications for logic high/low definitions.
The negative logic version turns on when the pin is at a logic low and turns off when the pin is at a logic high. The ON/OFF
pin can be hardwired directly to Vin(-) to enable automatic power up of the converter without the need of an external control
signal.
The ON/OFF pin is internally pulled up to 5 VDC through a resistor. A properly de-bounced mechanical switch, open-collector
transistor, or FET can be used to drive the input of the ON/OFF pin.
The device must be capable of sinking up to 0.2 mA at a low level voltage of
0.8 V. An external voltage source (±20 V
maximum) may be connected directly to the ON/OFF input, in which case it must be capable of sourcing or sinking up to 1
mA depending on the signal polarity. See the Startup Information section for system timing waveforms associated with use
of the ON/OFF pin.
Remote Sense (Pins 6 and 8)
The remote sense feature of the converter compensates for voltage drops occurring between the output pins of the converter
and the load. The SENSE(-) (Pin 6) and SENSE(+) (Pin 8) pins should be connected at the load or at the point where regulation
is required (see Fig. B).

CAUTION
If remote sensing is not utilized, the SENSE(-) pin must be connected to the Vout(-) pin (Pin 5), and the SENSE(+) pin must be connected to
the Vout(+) pin (Pin 9) to ensure the converter will regulate at the specified output voltage. If these connections are not made, the converter
will deliver an output voltage that is slightly higher than the specified data sheet value.
Because the sense leads carry minimal current, large traces on the end-user board are not required. However, sense traces
should be run side by side and located close to a ground plane to minimize system noise and ensure optimum performance.
The converter’s output overvoltage protection (OVP) circuitry senses the voltage across Vout(+) and Vout(-), and not across
the +/- sense lines, so the resistance (and resulting voltage drop) between the output pins of the converter and the load
should be minimized to prevent unwanted triggering of the OVP.
When utilizing the remote sense feature, care must be taken not to exceed the maximum allowable output power capability
of the converter, which is equal to the product of the nominal output voltage and the allowable output current for the given
conditions.
When using remote sense, the output voltage at the converter can be increased by as much as 10% above the nominal rating
in order to maintain the required voltage across the load. Therefore, the designer must, if necessary, decrease the maximum
current (originally obtained from the derating curves) by the same percentage to ensure the converter’s actual output power
remains at or below the maximum allowable output power.
Output Voltage Adjust /TRIM (Pin 7)
The output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or down 20% relative to the rated output voltage by the addition of an externally
connected resistor. (Trim up to 10% at full load is guaranteed at Vin
≥
40V.)
The TRIM pin should be left open if trimming is not being used. To minimize noise pickup, a 0.1 µF capacitor is connected
internally between the TRIM and SENSE(-) pin.
To increase the output voltage, refer to Fig. C. A trim resistor, R
T-INCR
, should be connected between the TRIM (Pin 7) and
SENSE(+) (Pin 8), with a value of:
