Description
The CW025 Dual Output-Series Power Modules are
a family of dc-dc converters that operate over an
input voltage range of 36 Vdc to 75 Vdc and provide
two regulated outputs. These modules offer low
noise levels with industry- st andar d pino ut s in a sma ll
footprint. Each highly reliable and efficient unit fea-
tures remote on/off and current limit.
Each output is individually regulated by its own con-
trol circuit and has an independent overvolt age
clamp. With standard outputs of ±5 V, ±12 V, and
±15 V, the CW025 Dual Output-Series is flexible
enough to provide modified standard units with any
combination of output voltages from 2 V to 15 V.
Efficiency greater than 80%, a wide opera ting tem-
perature range, and a metal case are additional fea-
tur es of these modules.

Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This encapsulated power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone
operation to an integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fus-
ing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safe ty and system prot ection, always use an input line fuse. The
safety agencies require a normal-blow, dc fuse with a maximum rating of 5 A (see Safety Considerations section).
Based on the information provided in this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same
type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data for further information.

Design Considerations
Grounding Considerations
For modules without the isolated case ground pin
option, the case is internally connected to the VI(+) pin.
Input Source Impedance
The power module should be connected to a low ac-
impedance input source. Highly inductive source
impedances can affect the stability of the power mod-
ule. A 33 µF electrolytic capacitor (ESR < 0.7 at
100 kHz) mounted close to the power module helps
ensure stability of the unit.
Note: VI(+) is internally connected to the case for a
standard module.
Safety Considerations
For safety agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard,
i.e.,
UL
-1950,
CSA
22.2-950, EN60950.
For the converter output to be considered meeting the
requirements of saf ety extr a-low v oltage (SELV), one of
the following must be true of the dc input:
All inputs are SELV and floating with the output also
floating.
All inputs are SELV and grounded with the output
also grounded.
Any non-SELV input must be provided with rein-
f orced insulation from an y other hazardous voltages ,
including the ac mains, and must have an SELV reli-
ability test performed on it in combination with the
converters.
The pow er module has e xtr a-low voltage (ELV) outputs
when all inputs are ELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with a maxi-
mum 5 A normal blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.
Input/Output V oltage Reversal
CAUTION: Applying a reverse voltage across the
module input or output forward biases
an internal diode. Attempting to start
the module under this condition can
damage the module.

CW025 Dual Output-Series Power Modules:
Feature Descriptions
Output Overvoltage Clamp
The output overvoltage clamp consists of control cir-
cuitry, independent of the primary regulation loop, that
monitors the voltage on the output terminals. The con-
trol loop of the clamp has a higher voltage set point
than the primary loop (see Feature Specifications
table). This provides a redundant voltage control that
reduces the risk of output overvoltage.
Current Limit
To provide protection in a fault (output overload)
condition, the unit is equipped with internal current-
limiting circuitry and can endure current limiting for an
unlimited duration. At the point of current-limit
inception, the unit shifts from voltage control to current
control. If the output voltage is pulled very low during a
severe fault, the current-limit circuit can exhibit either
foldback or tailout characteristics (output-current
decrease or increase). The unit operates normally once
the output current is brought back into its specified
range.
Remote On/Off
Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic
remote on/off turns the module on during a logic high
voltage on the REMOTE ON/OFF pin, and off during a
logic low. Negative logic remote on/off, code suffix “1,
turns the module off during a logic high and on during a
logic low.
To turn the power module on and off, the user must
supply a switch to control the voltage between the
on/off terminal and the VI(–) terminal (Von/off). The
switch can be an open collector or equivalent (see
Figure 14). A logic low is Von/off = 0 V to 1.2 V. The max-
imum Ion/off during a logic low is 1 mA. The switch
should maintain a logic low voltage while sinking 1 mA.
During a logic high, the maximum Von/off generated by
the power module is 10 V. The maximum allowable
leakage current of the switch at Von/off = 10 V is 50 µA.

The 25 W dual output power modules are designed to
operate in a variety of thermal environments. As with
any electronic component, sufficient cooling must be
provided to help ensure reliable operation of the unit.
Heat-dissipating components inside the module are
thermally coupled to the case. Heat is removed by con-
duction, convection, and radiation to the surrounding
environment.
The thermal data presented is based on measure-
ments taken in a wind tunnel. The test setup shown in
Figure 15 was used to collect data. Actual perf ormance
can vary depending on the particular application
environment.
Basic Thermal Performance
The CW025 Dual Output-Series P ower Modules have a
separate power stage for each of the outputs. This
means that the maximum operating temperature can
be predicted quite closely by treating each output indi-
vidually and then summing the results. Figures 16
through 19 are used to predict the safe operating con-
dition for many different operating and environmental
conditions.
The method used to determine the maximum ambient
temperature at a given air velocity is a four-step pro-
cess:
1. Find the power dissipated for output 1 by using the
appropriate chart (Figures 16 through 18) for a
particular output condition (IO1).
2. Repeat step 1 for output 2 using Figures 16
through 18.
3. Find the total power dissipated by summing the
power dissipated on each of the outputs: (PDout1 +
PDout2) = PDtotal
4. Use the total power dissipated with Figure 19 to
determine the maximum ambient temperature at
different air velocities.

on V O2 will have a power dissipated of 3.6 W (from
Figure 16) plus 2.1 W (from Figure 16) or 5.7 W total.
Using Figure 19, it can be determined that the maxi-
mum ambient temperature at natural convection that
the CW025AJ-M can operate at is approximately
62 °C.
Keep in mind that these are approximations of the air
temperature and velocity required to keep the case
temperature below its maximum rating. The maximum
case temperature at the point shown in Figure 15 m ust
be kept at 100 °C or less.
Air Velocity
The air velocity required to maintain a desired maxi-
mum case temperature for a given power dissipation
and ambient temperature can be calculated by using
Figure 19 and the following equation:
where θCA is the thermal resistance from case-to-ambi-
ent air (°C/W), TC, max is the desired maximum case
temperature (°C), TA is the ambient inlet temperature
(°C), and PDtotal is the total power dissipated from the
module (W).
F or example , to maintain a maximum case temper ature
of 85 °C with an ambient inlet temperature of 55 °C and
a power dissipation of 6.7 W, the thermal resistance is:
This corresponds to an air velocity greater than
0.46 ms–1 (90 fpm) in Figure 19.

Use of Heat Sinks and Cold Plates
The CW025 Dual Output-Series case includes through-
threaded M3 x 0.5 mounting holes allowing attachment
of heat sinks or cold plates from either side of the mod-
ule. The mounting torque must not exceed 0.56 N/m
(5 in-lb.).
The following thermal model can be used to determine
the required thermal resistance of the sink to provide
the necessary cooling:
where PD is the power dissipated by the module, θCS
represents the interfacial contact resistance between
the module and the sink, and θSA is the sink-to-ambient
thermal impedance (°C/W). For thermal greases or
foils, a value of θCS = 0.1 °C/W to 0.3 °C/W is typical.
The required θSA is calculated from the following equa-
tion:
Note that this equation assumes that all dissipated
power must be shed by the sink. Depending on the
user-defined application environment, a more accur ate
model including heat transf er from the sides and rear of
the module can be used. This equation provides a con-
servative estimate in such instances.
