The SMT15F-12 series are non-isolated dc-dc converters packaged
in a surface-mount footprint giving designers a cost effective
solution for conversion from a 12 V source. The SMT15F-12 has an
input range of 7.0-13.2 Vdc and offers an output voltage range
from 0.8-3.6Vdc with a 15 A load, which allows for maximum
design flexibility and a pathway for future upgrades.
The SMT15F-12 is designed for applications that include
distributed power, workstations, optical network and wireless
applications. Implemented using state of the art surface-mount
technology and automated manufacturing techniques, the
SMT15F-12 offers compact size and efficiencies of up to 91 % at
3.3Vout.

Notes
1 The SMT15F-12 features an ‘Positive Logic’ Remote ON/OFF operation. If not
using the Remote ON/OFF pin, leave the pin open (the converter will be on).
The Remote ON/OFF pin is referenced to ground.
The following conditions apply for the SMT15F-12:
Configuration Converter Operation
Remote pin open circuit Unit is ON
Remote pin pulled low Unit is OFF
Remote pin pulled high Unit is ON
2 The complete range of 0.8 Vdc to 3.6 Vdc is not available in a single unit. In
the SMT15F-12W1V6J the range is from 0.8 Vdc to 1.65 Vdc. In the SMT15F-
12W3V6J the coverage is from 1.66 Vdc to 3.6 Vdc. The output voltage in
both cases can be set by an external resistor. Typical values of resistence from
the E-96 range are shown in Table 1.
Trim Equation (SMT15F-12W1V6J)
Trim Equation (SMT15F-12W3V6J)
3 Output external capacitance is required for basic operation. Required
capacitance is a min. of 300 μF to meet performance parameters. This can be
made up of any combination of 22 μF or 44 μF MLCC. For best performance
they need to be very close to the SMT15 and connected by wide traces,
ideally by ground planes. The use of low ESR and low ESL components is
important.

Pin No. Pin Description
1+Vout: The regulated positive power output with
respect to the GND node.
2+Vout Sense: The sense input allows the regulation
circuit to compensate for voltage drop between the
module and the load. For optimal voltage accuracy
Vo Sense+ should be connected to an output
capacitor+ near the load. If voltage regulation is not
critical, connect this pin to +Vout (pin 1).
3-V Sense: The sense input allows the regulation
circuit to compensate for voltage drop between the
module and the load. For optimal voltage accuracy
Vo Sense- should be connected to an output
capacitor- near the load. If voltage regulation is not
critical, connect this pin to ground (pin 9).
4Trim: The resistance between this pin and ground
(pin 9) sets the output voltage. The output voltage in
both cases is set by an external resistor.

4Trim cond: typical values of resistence from the E-96
range are shown in Table 1 on page 2. For further
information on output voltage adjustment consult
Application Note 165.
5I-Limit Program: This pin can be used for
programming the current limit of the unit. An external
resistor must be placed from this pin to the Gnd pin. O
W can be used to set the current limit to 18 A. The
maximum current limit is 18 A and if the current limit
needs to be reduced the following formula can be used
to select the correct programming resistor for current
limit:
6Power Good: This pin indicates the status of the output
voltage. Power Good is driven low if output voltage
deviates outside of specified limits.
7Remote ON/OFF: Pulling the pin TTL low or shorting to
ground wil disable the output.
8+Vin: The positive input voltage power node to the
module, which is referenced to common GND.
9Ground: This is the common ground connection for the
Vin and Vout power connections. It is also the 0 VDC
reference for the control inputs.
