Typical Application
This series of converters does not require any
external
components
However, if the distribution of the input voltage to
the converter contains significant inductance, a
capacitor across the input terminals may be
required to stabilize the input voltage. A minimum
of 1μF, quality electrolytic / ceramic capacitor is
recommended for this purpose.
For output decoupling it is recommended to
connect, directly across the output pins, a 1μF
ceramic capacitor (for 3.3V and 5V outputs) or a
0.27μF ceramic capacitor (for 7V and 12V
outputs).
Remote Control Feature
The remote control pin functions as a normal soft
shutdown. It is referenced to the –Vin pin. With
positive logic, when the remote control pin is
pulled low, the output is turned off and the unit
goes into a very low input power mode.
An open collector switch is recommended to
control the voltage between the remote control pin
and the -Vin pin of the converter. The remote
control pin is pulled up internally, so no external
voltage source is required. The user should avoid
connecting a resistor between the remote control
pin and the +Vin pin.
The user must take care to ensure that the pin
reference for the control is connected close to the
-Vin pin. The control signal must not be
referenced ahead of EMI filtering, or remotely
from the unit. If the remote control pin is not used,
it can be left floating.
Synchronization Feature
It is possible to synchronize the switching
frequency of one or more converters to an
external
symmetrical
clock
recommended that the signal be driven by a TTL
compatible output. The rise time of the clock
signal should be less than 10ns. If the
synchronization feature is not used, it should be
left open circuit.

Turn-On Input Voltage
(
Note
:- this feature is not available on 4:1 input
range devices, RNS01EE/RNS01EG/RNS0.9ET)
An external resistor can program the input voltage
at which the converter switches on. The voltage
at which the unit switches off is typically 1V below
the turn-on input voltage (Vion).
The characteristic curves below shows the typical
resistor values required to achieve adjustment of
turn-on input voltage (Vion).
To decrease Vion the resistor should be
connected between pins 10 and 11.
