Description
The IMX35 Series of board-mountable, 35 Watt DC-DC converters has been designed according to the latest industry requirements and standards. The converters are particularly suitable for use in mobile or stationary applications in transport, railways, industry, or telecommunication, where variable input voltages or high transient voltages are prevalent. Covering a total input voltage range from 9 V up to 150 V with 4 different models, the converters are available with up to four electrically isolated outputs from 5 V to 60 V, externally adjustable and with flexible load distribution. A shutdown input allows remote converter on/off. Features include consistently high efficiency over the entire input voltage range, high reliability, and
excellent dynamic response to load and line changes. The converters are designed and built according to the international safety standards IEC/EN 62368-1 3rd edition, and approved by Nemko. The converters provide basic insulation. The circuit is comprised of 2 planar magnetics devices, and all components are automatically assembled and securely soldered onto a single PCB board without any wire connection. Magnetic feedback ensures maximum reliability and repeatability in the control loop over all operating conditions. Careful considerations of possible thermal stresses ensure the absence of hot spots providing long life in environments, where temperature cycles are present. The thermal design without using any potting material
allows operation at full load up to an ambient temperature of 71 °C in free air and operation up to 105 °C with airflow. For extremely high vibration environments the case has holes for screw mounting.

Functional Description
The IMX35 converters are comprised of 2 feedback-controlled interleaved-switching flyback powertrains using current mode control. Each converter consists of 4 electrically isolated outputs deriving from the 2 power trains. Vo1, Vo4 derive from the first powertrain and Vo2, Vo3 from the second one. Thus each pair of outputs is independent from the other one. Voltage regulation for each pair of outputs is achieved with passive transformer feedback from the main transformer of the powertrain. Each pair of outputs has the same output voltage (i.e. D05, D12, etc.). If both powertrains have the same nominal output voltage (e.g. D12D12), all outputs may be simultaneously adjusted by the Trim input (pin 5). In case of different output voltages (e.g. D05D15), the
Trim1 input influences only Vo1 and Vo4. Current limitation is provided on the primary side for each powertrain and limits the possible output power for each pair of outputs. In the case of an overload on either of the power trains, which causes the output voltage to fall to less than typically 70% of Vo nom, the entire converter shuts down and automatically restart in short intervals (hiccup mode). The incorporated overtemperature protection shuts down the hole converter in the case of overtemperature and resumes automatically after cooling down.

Inrush Current
The inrush current has been made as low as possible by choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor may be installed in the input line to further reduce this current.

Reverse Polarity Protection
The built-in suppressor diode also provides for reverse polarity protection at the input by conducting current in the reverse direction. An external fuse is required to limit this current.

| 110IMX35 | F 1.5 A |
Input Transient Voltage Protection
A built-in suppressor diode provides effective protection against input transients, which may be generated for example by shortcircuits across the input lines, where the network inductance may cause high energy pulses.
Table 4: Built-in transient voltage suppressor

For very high energy transients as for example to achieve IEC/EN 61000-4-5 compliance (as per table Electromagnetic Immunity) an external inductor and capacitor are required. The components should have similar characteristics as listed in table below.

Electrical Output Data
We recommend connecting an external 1 µF ceramic capacitor across the output pins.
General conditions: – TA = 25 °C, unless TC is specified – Pins 8 (shutdown or i), 6 (W), 5 (Trim or Trim1), and 1 (PUL) left open-circuit (not connected), unless specified.
Table 6: Output data per double-output powertrain (Vo1/Vo4 or Vo2/Vo3; each power train has 2 outputs)

1 Both outputs of each powertrain connected in parallel. The current limit is primary side controlled. In the case of an overload condition, the thermal protection may cause the converter to shut down (automatic restart on cool-down). 2 BW = 20 MHz, measured with an external capacitor of 1 µF across the output pins. 3 Measured with a probe according to EN 61204 4 The output overvoltage protection is located on the primary side. It is not tracking the Trim/Trim1 control. 5 Both outputs of each powertrain connected in parallel. 6 Sum of capacities on the outputs of each powertrain.

Thermal Considerations If a converter, mounted on a PCB, is located in free, quasi-stationary air (convection cooling) at the indicated maximum ambient temperature TA max (see table Temperature specifications) and is operated at its nominal input voltage and output power, the case temperature TC (TC Z with option Z)measured at the measuring point of case temperature (see Mechanical Data) will approach the indicated value TC max after the warm-up phase. However, the relationship between TA and TC depends heavily on the conditions of operation and integration into a system. The thermal conditions are influenced by input voltage, output current, airflow, temperature
of surrounding components and the surfaces and properties of the printed circuit board. TA max is therefore only an indicative value, and under practical operating conditions, the ambient temperature TA may be higher or lower than this value. Caution: The case temperature TC (or TC Z) measured at the measuring point of case temperature (see Mechanical Data) may under no circumstances exceed the specified maximum value. The installer must ensure that under all operating conditions TC (or TC Z) remains within the limits stated in the table Temperature specifications.
The converters provide the specified output power with free air convection cooling. In the upper temperature range the output power derating below should be observed.
Po/Po max

Fig. 5 Maximum allowed output power versus ambient temperature (models with and without option Z)
Overtemperature Protection The converter is protected against possible overheating by means of an internal temperature monitoring circuit located on the primary side. It shuts down the converter above the internal temperature limit and attempts to restart automatically. This feature prevents excessive internal temperature building up which could occur under overload conditions.
Short Circuit Behavior The current limit characteristic shuts down the converter whenever a short circuit is applied to an output. It acts self-protecting and automatically recovers after removal of the overload condition (hiccup mode).

Series and Parallel Connection The outputs of one or several double-output powertrains may be connected in series respecting the current limitation. Both outputs of the same powertrain can always be connected in parallel in will behave like a single output. Several outputs of the same converter with equal output voltage (e.g. 5 V / 5 V) can be connected in parallel and will share their output currents almost equally. If outputs of the same converter are being parallel and series-connected, it is recommended that outputs from the same powertrains are parallel-connected first. This applies for instance, if 24 V shall be generated by a converter with four 12 V outputs; see fig. 7.

Fig. 7 Generating 24 V with an IMX35D12D12-8
Note: Parallel operation of several converters may cause start-up problems. This becomes noticeable in applications, where one converter is not able to deliver the full resistive and capacitive load current alone, as it is required in true redundant systems.
Typical Performance Curves General conditions: – TA = 25°C, unless TC is specified. – Shut down and Trim pin left open-circuit.

Auxiliary Functions
Adjustable Output Voltage As a standard feature, the IMX35 offer adjustable output voltages in the range of 85 to 105% of Vo nom. Fig. 13 shows the schematic diagram for the adjustment of quad-output models. All models with equal output voltages have a Trim input at pin 5 referenced to the primary side, influencing all outputs simultaneously. Models with different output voltages exhibit a Trim1 input, influencing only the first power train (Vo1 and Vo4).

Table 8: Vo versus Vext for Vo = 85 to 105% Vo nom; typical values (Vi nom, Io = 0.5 Io nom)

Adjustment of the output voltage by means of an external resistor Rext is possible within the range of 100 to 105% of Vo nom. Rext should be connected between Trim (pin 5) and Vi– (pin 2). The following table indicates suitable resistor values for typical output voltages under nominal conditions (Vi nom, Io = 0.5 Io nom). Note: Connection of Rext to Vi+ may damage the converter.
Adjustment by means of an external voltage source Vext For external output voltage adjustment in the range 85 to 105% of Vo nom a voltage source Vext (0 to 20 V) is required, connected to Trim or Trim1 (pin 5) and Vi–. The table below indicates typical values Vo versus Vext. Applying a control voltage of 15 to 20 V will set the converter into the hiccup mode. Direct paralleling of the Trim pins of converters of the same type connected in parallel is feasible.
Synchronization (W) It is possible to synchronize the switching frequency of one or more converters to an external clock signal. This logic input W can be used to synchronize the oscillator to an external frequency source. This signal is edge-triggered with TTL thresholds and requires a source frequency of 490 to 540 kHz (duty cycle 10 to 90%). The external source frequency is internally divided by 2 to define the switching frequency of the converter. If unused, this pin can be connected to V1– (pin 2) or left open-circuit.
Reference Output (Ref) The converter provides a stable 5 V (±0.1 V) reference signal on pin 7 (Ref). The output is protected by a 1 kΩ resistor. The signal may be used also in conjunction with the Trim input (pin 5) as a limited external voltage reference. It is recommended to connect a filter capacitor (0.1 µF) between Ref and Vi–, if Ref is used.

Shutdown The outputs of the converters may be enabled or disabled by means of a logic signal (TTL, CMOS, etc.) applied to shutdown (pin 8). If the shutdown function is not required, pin 8 should be left open-circuit: Converter operating:
2.0 to 20 V
Converter disabled:
–10 to +0.7 V
Progr. Input Undervoltage Lockout PUL A special feature of the converter (with Rev. BA or later) is the adjustable undervoltage lockout protection, which protects the converter (and the system) from high current caused by operation at low input voltages. This ensures easier start-up in distributed power systems. The table below shows the band of switch on/off and the hysteresis.
Table 9: Trigger level and hysteresis (pin 1 left open)
| Model | Trigger level | Hysteresis | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20IMX35 | 7 to 8 | <0.5 | V |

| 70IMX35 | 31 to 34 | <3 | |
| 110IMX35 | 42 to 50 | < 8 |
The undervoltage lockout levels may be programmed by using an external resistor RPUL between PUL and Vi– to increase the preset levels as specified in table 10.

Installation Instructions Installation of the converters must strictly follow the national safety regulations in compliance with the enclosure, mounting, creepage, clearance, casualty, markings, and segregation requirements of the end-use application. Connection to the system shall be made via a printed circuit board with hole diameters of 1.5 mm for the pins. The converters should be connected to a secondary circuit. Do not open the converter.
Ensure that a converter failure (e.g., by an internal short-circuit) does not result in a hazardous condition.
Input Fuse To prevent excessive current flowing through the input supply line in case of a short-circuit in the converter, an external fuse should be installed in the non-earthed input line. We recommend a fast acting fuse specified in table 3.
Standards and Approvals All converters are safety-approved to IEC/EN 62368-1 3rd edition and UL/CSA 60950-1 2nd edition. The converters have been evaluated for:
- Building-in
- Basic insulation input to output, based on their maximum input voltage
- Pollution degree 2 (not option Z)
- Connecting the input to a secondary circuit, which is subject to a maximum transient rating of 1500 V. The converters are subject to manufacturing surveillance in accordance with the above mentioned standards. CB scheme is available.
Railway Applications To comply with Railway standards, all components are coated with a protective lacquer (except for option Z).
Protection Degree and Cleaning Liquids The protection degree is IP 30 (not for option Z). In order to avoid damage, any penetration of cleaning fluids should be prevented, since the converters are not hermetically sealed. However, open-frame models (option Z) leave the factory unlacquered; they may be lacquered by the customer, for instance together with the mother board. Cleaning liquids are not permitted – except washing at room temperature with isopropyl alcohol and de-inonized/destilled water (1 : 1). Note: Cleaning liquids can damage the adhesive joints of the ferrite cores.
Isolation The electric strength test is performed in the factory as a routine test in accordance with EN 62911 and EN 62368-1 3rd edition, and should not be repeated in the field. The Company will not honor any warranty claims resulting from electric strength field tests.

1 1.5 kVAC according to IEC 62368-1 3rd edition, sect. 6.2, Telecom equipment; type test with 1.5 kVAC / 60 s (IEE 802.3). IMX35 units produced before 2013 were tested with 1.2 kVAC only. 2 The test voltage between outputs is not applied as routine test. 3 For open-frame models (option Z), only the insulation input to outputs is tested.

Description of Options
i: Inhibit (Negative Shutdown Logic) The outputs of the converter may be enabled or disabled by means of a logic signal (TTL, CMOS, etc.) applied to the inhibit pin 8. If the inhibit function is not required the inhibit (pin 8) should be connected to Vi– to enable the output (active low logic, fail safe). Voltage at pin 8: Converter operating:
–10 V to 0.8 V
Converter disabled:
2.4 V to 20 V or left open-circuit

Fig. 18 If the inhibit pin is not used, connect it to Vi–.
Z: Open Frame For applications, where the protection by a housing is not necessary or in the case that the motherboard should be lacquered after fitting the converter. Note: The converters shall not be exposed to cleaning processes, as this will damage the glue of the ferrite cores.
G: RoHS-6 Converters with a type designation ending by G are RoHS-compliant for all six substances. Non-G models are produced with leaded solder and are not RoHS-compliant. They are not preferred models.
