Connection in Parallel
The outputs of several units can be connected in parallel.
However, the use of a single unit with a higher power rating
is a better choice because of uneven power distribution
among the outputs connected in parallel. It is recom-
mended to select converters to be connected in parallel
with very small output voltage differences at full load (i.e.
<
±
0.5%). A decoupling diode is not required but recom-
mended.
Protection Scheme
The IMP series is continuously short circuit protected by
means of input power limitation. The unit will not be dam-
aged if started up into a short circuit. After removal of the
short circuit, it will resume normal operation.
The IMP series is also no-load proof, meaning that the
regulation is still effective with no load and the output volt-
age does not rise. However, due to component tolerances,
oscillation could occur and ripple and noise can be outside
of specified values. If the converter is used in senitive elec-
tronic circuits with no-load conditions, it is recommended to
pre-load the outputs with at least 20% of the specified nomi-
nal load.
Auxiliary Function
SD-input
The output voltage is turned on if the pin 20 is open or a
voltage of 8...10 V DC is applied. If the voltage at pin 20 is
between
–
0.3 and 2 V DC, the output voltage is turned off.
The maximum voltage without damage is limited to 20 V
and the maximum allowed current is limited to 3 mA.
Thermal Considerations
If a converter is operated, the relationship between the am-
bient temperature T
A
and the case temperature T
C
depends
heavily on the conditions of operation and integration into a
system. The thermal conditions are influenced by input volt-
age, output current, airflow, temperature of surrounding
components and surfaces and the properties of the printed
circuit board. The specified maximum ambient temperature
T
A max
is therefore only an indicative value and under practi-
cal operating conditions, the ambient temperature T
A
may
be higher or lower than this value.
Caution:
The case temperature T
C
measured at the
Measuring point of case temperature T
C
(see: Mechani-
cal Data) may under no circumstances exceed the speci-
fied maximum value. The installer must ensure that un-
der all operating conditions T
C
remains within the limits
stated in the table: Temperature specifications.
Connection in Series
The outputs of one or more units can be connected in se-
ries. No suppressor diodes are required. Power-One how-
ever recommends to protect each individual output with a
Zener diode or preferably a suppressor diode, to avoid re-
verse polarity that may occur if the output voltages do not
rise simultaneously.
