Feature Descriptions (continued)
Remote Sense (“9” Option Code)
Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution losses
by regulating the voltage at the remote-sense connections
(See Figure 16). The voltage between the remote-sense
pins and the output terminals must not exceed the output
voltage sense range given in the Feature Specifications
table:
[V
O
(+) – V
O
(–)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(–)]
0.5 V
Although the output voltage can be increased by both the
remote sense and by the trim, the maximum increase for
the output voltage is not the sum of both. The maximum
increase is the larger of either the remote sense or the trim.
The amount of power delivered by the module is defined as
the voltage at the output terminals multiplied by the output
current. When using remote sense and trim, the output
voltage of the module can be increased, which at the same
output current would increase the power output of the
module. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
output power of the module remains at or below the
maximum rated power (Maximum rated power = Vo,set x
Io,max).

The voltage between the Vo(+) and Vo(–) terminals must
not exceed the minimum output overvoltage protection
value shown in the Feature Specifications table. This limit
includes any increase in voltage due to remote-sense
compensation and output voltage set-point adjustment trim.
Although the output voltage can be increased by both the
remote sense and by the trim, the maximum increase for
the output voltage is not the sum of both. The maximum
increase is the larger of either the remote sense or the trim.
The amount of power delivered by the module is defined as
the voltage at the output terminals multiplied by the output
current. When using remote sense and trim, the output
voltage of the module can be increased, which at the same
output current would increase the power output of the
module. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
output power of the module remains at or below the
maximum rated power (Maximum rated power = VO,set x
IO,max).

Trim, Output Voltage Programming
Trimming allows the output voltage set point to be
increased or decreased; this is accomplished by
connecting an external resistor between the TRIM pin and
either the V
O
(+) pin or the V
O
(-) pin.

Thermal Considerations
The power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments and sufficient cooling should be provided to
help ensure reliable operation.
Thermal considerations include ambient temperature,
airflow, module power dissipation, and the need for
increased reliability. A reduction in the operating
temperature of the module will result in an increase in
reliability. The thermal data presented here is based on
physical measurements taken in a wind tunnel.

Connecting an external resistor (R
trim-down
) between the
T/C1 pin and the Vo(-) (or Sense(-)) pin decreases the
output voltage set point. To maintain set point accuracy,
the trim resistor tolerance should be ±1.0%.
