9. OUTPUT TRIMMING
(OPTIONAL)
The output voltages are preset to nominal values as indicated by the models table at the factory. If desired, the output voltage may
optionally be trimmed to a different value (+/- 10%) with external resistors and/or potentiometer as shown below.

is defined as:
FIGURE 5: TRIM-DOWN VOLTAGE SETUP
The value of
R

is defined as:
R
trim-up
=
R1 - R2 x (Vo - Vo, nom)
(KΩ)
o
V - Vo, nom
R
trim-down
=
R1 - R2 x (Vo, nom - Vo)
(KΩ)

Where:
R
trim-up
is the external resistor in
K
Ω
.
V

is the
nominal output voltage.
V

are internal to the unit and are defined in
Table 1. For example, to trim-up the output voltage of 5.0V
module (VHK50W-Q48-S5) by 8% to 5.4V,
R
trim-up
is calculated
as follows:
o
V - Vo, nom
= 5.4 - 5.0 = 0.4 V
R1
= 5.8 KΩ
R2
= 3.3 KΩ
5.8 - 3.3 x 0.4
= 11.2 (KΩ)

module (VHK50W-Q48-S5) by 8% to 4.6V,
R
trim-down
is calculated
Vo, nom - Vo
= 5.0 - 4.6 = 0.4 V
R1
