Trimming Output Voltages
These converters have a trim capability (pin 6) that allows users to adjust the
output voltage ±5%. Adjustments to the output voltage can be accomplished
via a trim pot, Figure 2, or a single xed resistor as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
A single xed resistor can increase or decrease the output voltage depending
on its connection. Fixed resistors should have an absolute TCR less than
100ppm/°C to minimize sensitivity to changes in temperature.
A single resistor connected from the Trim (pin 6) to the +Output (pin 4), see
Figure 3, will decrease the output voltage. A resistor connected from the Trim
(pin 6) to –Output (pin 5) will increase the output voltage.
Trim adjustment greater than 5% can have an adverse effect on the convert-
er's performance and is not recommended.

Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "oating."
Designers will usually use the –Output (pin 5) as the ground/return of the
load circuit.You can, however, use the +Output (pin 4) as ground/return to
effectively reverse the output polarity.
Minimum Output Loading Requirements
3.3 and 5V models employ a synchronous-rectier design topology. All
models regulate within spec and are stable under no-load conditions. 12/15V
models employ a traditional forward, diode-rectication architecture and
require 25mA loading to achieve their listed regulation specs. Operation
under 25mA load conditions will not damage the 12/15V devices; however
they may not meet all listed specications.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All UEP Series DC/DC Converters achieve their rated ripple and noise
specications with no external input/output capacitors. In critical applications,
input/output noise may be further reduced by installing external I/O caps.
Input capacitors should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR and high
rms-ripple-current ratings. Output capacitors should be selected for low ESR
and appropriate frequency response. All caps should have appropriate volt-
age ratings and be mounted as close to the converters as possible.
The most effective combination of external I/O capacitors will be a function
of load and layout conditions. Our Applications Engineers can recommend
potential solutions and discuss the possibility of our modifying a given
device’s internal ltering to meet your specic requirements. Contact our
Applications Engineering Group for additional details.
Input Fusing
Certain applications and/or safety agencies may require the installation of
fuses at the inputs of power conversion components. Fuses should also be
used if the possibility of sustained, non-current-limited, input-voltage polarity
reversals exists. For DATEL UEP Series DC/DC Converters, you should use
slow-blow type fuses with values no greater than the following.
