Protection Features: Includes input undervoltage lockout, overvoltage protection, output overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown.
Specifications: The DCM™ DC-DC Converter Rev 1.4 focuses on output voltage accuracy, load regulation, and temperature coefficients. Nominal linear temperature coefficient is -1.60 mV/°C, and output voltage accuracy is within ±3.0% of the ideal VOUT.
Power Output Specifications: Output voltage load regulation is specified with a maximum deviation of ±1.5%. Light-load regulation is detailed for loads between 0-10%.
Operating Areas: Figures illustrate thermal and electrical operating areas, highlighting maximum output power versus case temperature and output voltage versus current.
Functional State Diagram: Includes a high-level diagram detailing powertrain states, initialization sequences, and fault conditions.
Performance Characteristics: Typical performance characteristics for both array and enhanced VOUT regulation modes, including efficiency and power dissipation.
Pin Functions: Describes functions of key pins such as +IN, -IN, +OUT, -OUT, EN (Enable), TR (Trim), and FT (Fault).
Design Guidelines: Supports a wide input voltage range and provides an isolated 12.0VDC output. Allows for parallel operation with wireless load sharing.
Specifications: The DCM2322x50T1360y6z is capable of standalone operation with output power up to 60W, configurable in arrays for up to 480W.
Soft Start: Features a soft-start routine that ramps the output voltage linearly.
Output Voltage Regulation: In array mode, output voltage is influenced by load and temperature. Enhanced VOUT Regulation Mode eliminates these dependencies.
Trim Mode: Allows for output voltage adjustment, with trim mode activated based on pin voltage.
Current Limit: Maintains operation within the Safe Operating Area (SOA) with a current limit threshold typically at 120% of the rated output current.
Input Requirements: Recommends a high-quality power supply with additional capacitance to compensate for source impedance.
Fault Protections: Includes protections for input undervoltage, overvoltage, output undervoltage, overvoltage, and temperature faults.
External Capacitance: Requires a minimum external output capacitor for control loop compensation.
Light-Load Boosting: May operate in a mode that reduces average switching frequency under light-load conditions.
Thermal Design: Can operate at full rated power if temperature is kept below 95°C, benefiting from dual-sided thermal management.
