Description
1
The IMX35 Series of board-mountable, 35 Watt DC-DC con-
verters has been designed according to the latest industry
requirements and standards. The converters are particularly
suitable for use in mobile or stationary applications in transport,
railways, industry, or telecommunication, where variable input
voltages or high transient voltages are prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 9 V up to 150 V with 4
different models, the converters are available with up to four
electrically isolated outputs from 5 V to 60 V, externally
adjustable and with flexible load distribution. A shutdown input
allows remote 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 inter-
national safety standards IEC/EN/UL 60950, and approved by
70/110IMX35
CSA and Nemko. The converters provide basic insulation.
The circuit is comprised of 2 planar magnetics devices, and all
components are automatically assembled and securely sol-
dered onto a single PCB board 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 present. The thermal design without
using any potting material allows operation at full load up to an
ambient temperature of 71 °C in free air and operation up to
105 °C with airflow. For extremely high vibration environments
the case has holes for screw mounting.

IMX35 Series Data Sheet
35 Watt Quad-Output DC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The IMX35 converters are comprised of 2 feedback-controlled
interleaved-switching flyback powertrains using current mode
control.
Each converter consists of 4 electrically isolated outputs
deriving from the 2 power trains. Vo1, Vo4 derive from the first
powertrain and Vo2, Vo3 from the second one. Thus each pair
of outputs is independent from the other one.
Voltage regulation for each pair of outputs is achieved with
passive transformer feedback from the main transformer of the
powertrain. Each pair of outputs has the same output voltage
(i.e. D05, D12, etc.). If both powertrains have the same nominal
output voltage (e.g. D12D12), all outputs may be simul-
taneously adjusted by the Trim input (pin 5). In case of different
output voltages (e.g. D05D 15), the Trim1 input influences only
Vo1 and Vo4.
Current limitation is provided on the primary side for each
powertrain and limits the possible output power for each pair of
outputs. In the case of an overload on either of the power
trains, which causes the output voltage to fall to less than
typically 70% of
V
o nom
, the entire converter shuts down and
automatically restart in short intervals (hiccup mode).
The incorporated overtemperature protection shuts down the
hole converter in the case of overtemperature and resumes
automatically after cooling down.

Inrush Current
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 in order to further reduce this
current.

Input Transient Voltage Protection
A built-in suppressor diode provides effective protection
against input transients, which may be generated for example
by short-circuits across the input lines, where the network
inductance may cause high energy pulses.

Reverse Polarity Protection
The built-in suppressor diode also provides for reverse polarity
protection at the input by conducting current in the reverse
direction. An external fuse is required to limit this current.
