Summary
The IMX 35 series of board mountable 35 W att DC-DC con-
verters has been designed according to industry require-
ments and standards. The converters are particularly suit-
able for use in mobile or stationary applications in trans-
port, railways, industry, or telecommunication where vari-
able input voltages or high transient voltages are prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 9 V up to 150 V
with 4 different types. The units are available with up to
quadruple outputs (electrically isolated) from 3.3 V up to
60V externally adjustable and with flexible load distribution.
A shut down input allows remote converter on/of f. Features
include consistently high efficiency over the entire input
voltage range, high reliability and excellent dynamic re-
sponse to load and line changes.
The converters are designed and built according to the in-
ternational safety standards IEC/EN 60950, UL 1950, CAN/
CSA C22.2 No.950-95. LGA, UL and cUL approvals are in
progress. The IMX 35 types provide basic insulation.
The circuit comprises of two planar magnetics devices and
all components are automatically assembled and solidly
soldered onto a single PCB without any wire connection.
Magnetic feedback ensures maximum reliability and
repeatability in the control loop over all operating condi-
tions. Careful considerations of possible thermal stresses
ensure the absence of hot spots providing long life in envi-
ronments where temperature cycles are a reality. The ther-
mal design without using any potting material allows opera-
tion at full load up to an ambient temperature of 71 °C in
free air , operation to 1 10°C with airflow . For extremely high
vibration environments the case has holes for screw
mounting. Inhibit or open frame mounting provide a high
level of application specific engineering and design-in flex-
ibility.
Safety according to IEC/EN 60950, UL 1950

IMX35 Series: 35W DC-DC Converters Product Specifications
9-36V, 18-75V, 40-121V & 60-150V Inputs Aug 2002
Dual/Triple/Quad Outputs 3.3V, 5V, 12V & 15V
Functional Description
The IMX35 family of DC-DC converters consists of two
feedback controlled interleaved switching flyback power
trains using current mode PWM (pulse width modulation).
Functionally the converters are of two main types.
The triple output types consist of 3 outputs Vo1, Vo2, Vo3.
Vo1 (3.3 V or 5.1 V) is generated by a power train using
synchronous rectifier technology thus enabling high effi-
ciency. Also there is active magnetic feedback on this out-
put via a pulse transformer which results in very tight and
reliable regulation of the output voltage. The other two out-
puts Vo2 and Vo3 are electrically isolated double outputs.
Vo2, V o3 are restricted to being of the same output voltage
(i.e. D05, D12, etc.). Voltage regulation is achieved with a
passive transformer feedback from the main transformer
of that power train.
Adjustment of the output 1 (Vo1) is provided by the Trim1
pin referenced to the secondary side and allows for pro-
gramming of the voltage of output 1 in the range of approx.
90...105% of Vo nom. (See: Block diagram, triple output
types)
The quadruple output type consists of 4 outputs and two
power trains. Vo1, V o4 derive from the first power train 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 each power train.
Each pair of output s are restricted to being of the same out-
put voltage type (i.e. D05, D12, etc.). If both power trains
have the same output voltage, all outputs may be adjusted
by means of the Trim input. (In case of different output volt-
ages, the Trim1 input influences only Vo1 and Vo4. See:
Block diagram, quadruple output types.)
The dual output types consist of two electrically isolated
outputs Vo1, Vo2. Vo1 and Vo2 derives from two power
trains and are electrically isolated. Voltage regulation for
each output is achieved with passive transformer feedback
from the main transformer of each power train. Adjustment
of the outputs voltages in the range of 90...105% of Vo nom is
possible via Trim input on the primary side.

Current limitation is provided by the primary circuit for each
power train 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 less
than typically 60% of Vo nom , the entire converter will shut
down and automatically restart in short intervals.
Overtemperature protection is provided, this will shut down
the converter in excessive overload conditions with auto-
matic restart approximately in short intervals.

Input Transient Voltage Protection
A built-in suppressor diode provides effective protection
against input transients which may be caused for example
by short-circuits accross the input lines where the network
inductance may cause high energy pulses.

For very high energy transients as for example to achieve
IEC/EN 61000-4-5 or ETR 283 (19 Pfl1) compliance (as per
table: Electromagnetic Immunity) an external inductor and
capacitor are required. The components should have simi-
lar characteristics as listed in table: Components for exter-
nal circuitry for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 or ETR 283
(19Pfl1) compliance.
Note: The suppressor diode D is only necessary for
20 IMX 35 types.

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

the Measuring point of case temperature TC (see: Mechani-
cal 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 inte-
gration into a system. The thermal conditions are influ-
enced by input voltage, output current, airflow, temperature
of surrounding components and the surfaces and proper-
ties 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 measured at the:
Measuring point of case temperature TC (see: Mechani-
cal Data) may under no circumstances exceed the
specified maximum value. The inst aller must ensure that
under all operating conditions TC remains within the lim-
its stated in the table: Temperature specifications.

Extended Temperature Range
Extension of the temperature range from standard
–40...71°C to –40...85°C (upto 110°C). The modules will
provide the specified ouptut power with free air convection
cooling. In the upper temperature range the output power
derating below should be observed.
Fig. 6
Maximum allowed output power versus ambient tempera-
ture.
Short Circuit Behaviour
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).
Overtemperature Protection
The converter is protected against possible overheating by
means of an internal temperature monitoring circuit. It
shuts down the unit above the internal temperature limit
and attempts to automatically restart. This feature prevent s
excessive internal temperature building up which could oc-
cur under heavy overload conditions.
Connection in Series
The outputs of one or several single or double output power
trains may be connected in series without any precautions.
Connection in Parallel
Several outputs of the same converter with equal output
voltage (e.g. 5V / 5V) can be put in parallel and will share
their output currents almost equally.
NOTE: A separate application note is available for uses
when all outputs are paralleled together.
Parallel operation of several converters with the same out-
put voltage may cause start-up problems at initial start-up.
This is only advisable in applications where one converter
is able to deliver the full load current as is required in true
redundant systems. It is recommended not to parallel more
than three units at full load.
The first outputs (main output of 5.1V or 3.3V) of triple out-
put units should not be p aralleled, except in true redundant
systems using decoulping diodes.

Adjustment by means of an external resistor Rext:
Adjustment of the output voltage by means of an exter-
nal resistor Rext is possible within the range of
100...105% of Vo nom. Rext should be connected between
Trim (pin 5) and Vi– (pin 2). Connection of Rext to Vi+
may damage the converter . The following t able indicates
suitable resistor values for typical output voltages under
nominal conditions (Vi nom, Io = 0.5 Io nom).
Adjustment by means of an external voltage source Vext
For external output voltage adjustment in the range
85...105% of Vo nom a (0...20 V) source Vext is required,
connected to the T rim (pin 5) and V i–. The t able below in-
dicates typical Vo versus Vext values. Applying a control
voltage 15...20 V will set the converter into a hiccup
mode. Direct paralleling of the Trim pins of units of the
same type connected in parallel is feasible.

The IMX 35 triple output feature a main power train with
magnetic feedback and synchronous rectifier. The simpli-
fied circuit is shown in Fig. 14.
The Trim1 (pin 18) is secondary referenced and influences
only the main power train. Adjustment of the output voltage
is possible by means of an external resistor Rext between
the Trim1 pin and either Vo1+ or Vo1–. If the control input
is left open circuit, the output voltage is set to Vo1 nom.

Programmable Input Undervoltage Lockout PUL
A special feature of these units is the accurate
undervoltage lockout protection which protects the unit
(and the system) from large currents caused by operation
at low voltages. This ensures easier start-up in distributed
power systems.

Synchronisation (W)
It is posible to synchronise the switching frequency of one
or more converters to an external symmetrical clocksignal.
Consult factory if this option is required, for full application
details.
This logic input can be used to synchronise the oscillator to
an external frequency source. This pin is edge triggered
with TTL thresholds, and requires a source frequency of
490...540 kHz (duty cycle 10...90 %). The external source
frequency is internally divided by 2 to define the switching
frequency for the converter. If unused, this pin can be con-
nected to V1– (pin 2) or left open-circuit.
Reference (Ref)
The signal output provides a stable 5 V (±0.1 V) reference
signal on pin Ref. It is protected by a 1 k resistor . This sig-
nal may be used also in conjunction with the Trim input pin
5 (primary side) as a limited external voltage reference.
It is recommended to connect a filter capacitor (0.1 µF)
between Ref and Vi–, if Vref is used.
Shut Down Function
The outputs of the converters may be enabled or disabled
by means of a logic signal (TTL, CMOS, etc.) applied to the
shut down pin. If the shut down function is not required then
it should be left open-circuit.
Converter operating: 2.0...20 V
Converter shut down: –10...0.7 V
Option i
Inhibit (negative shutdown logic)
The output of the converter may be enabled or disabled by
means of a logic signal (TTL, CMOS, etc.) applied to the
inhibit pin. No output voltage overshoot will occur when the
unit is turned on. If the inhibit function is not required the
inhibit (pin 8) should be connected to Vi– to enable the out-
put (active low logic, fail safe).
Converter operating: –10 V...0.8 V
Converter inhibited
or inhibit pin left open circuit: 2.4 V...20 V

Safety and Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
Installation of the DC-DC converters must strictly follow the
national safety regulations in compliance with the enclo-
sure, mounting, creepage, clearance, casualty, markings
and segregation requirements of the end-use application.
Connection to the system shall be made via a printed cir-
cuit board with hole diameters of 1.5 mm for the pins.
The units should be connected to a secondary circuit.
Check for hazardous voltages before altering any connec-
tions.
Do not open the module.
Ensure that a unit failure (e.g. by an internal short-circuit)
does not result in a hazardous condition. See also: Safety
of operator accessible output circuit.
Input Fuse
To prevent excessive current flowing through the input sup-
ply line in case of a short-circuit across the converter input
an external fuse should be installed in a non earthed input
supply line. We recommend a fast acting fuse F8.0A for
20 IMX 35 types, F4.0 A for 40 IMX 35 types, F2.0 A for
70 IMX 35 types and F2.0 A for 110 IMX 35 types.
Standards and approvals
All DC-DC converters are pending to be UL recognized ac-
cording to UL 1950, UL recognized for Canada to CAN/
CSA C22.2 No. 950-95 and LGA approved to IEC/EN
60950 standards.
The units have been evaluated for:
Building in
Basic insulation input to output, based on their maximum
input voltage
The use in a pollution degree 2 environment
Connecting the input to a secondary circuit which is sub-
ject to a maximum transient rating of 1500 V
After approvals the DC-DC converters are subject to manu-
facturing surveillance in accordance with the above men-
tioned UL, CSA, EN and with ISO 9001 standards.
Isolation
The electric strength test is performed as factory test in ac-
cordance with IEC/EN 60950 and UL 1950 and should not
be repeated in the field. Power-One will not honour any
guarantee claims resulting from electric strength field tests.

Protection Degree
The protection degree of the DC-DC converters is IP 30
(not for option Z).
Cleaning Agents
In order to avoid possible damage, any penetration of
cleaning fluids should be prevented, since the power sup-
plies are not hermetically sealed.
However, open cased units (option Z) which leave the fac-
tory unlacquered may be cleaned and lacquered by the
customer.

Safety of operator accessible output circuit
If the output circuit of a DC-DC converter is operator acces-
sible, it shall be an SELV circuit according to the IEC/EN
60950 related safety standards
The following table shows some possible installation con-
figurations, compliance with which causes the output circuit
of the DC-DC converter to be an SELV circuit according to
IEC/EN 60950 up to a configured output voltage (sum of
nominal voltages if in series or +/– configuration) of 42 V.
However, it is the sole responsibility of the installer to en-
sure the compliance with the relevant and applicable safety
regulations. More information is given in: Technical Infor-
mation: Safety.
1The front end output voltage should match the specified input voltage range of the DC-DC converter.
2The earth connection has to be provided by the installer according to the relevant safety standard, e.g. IEC/EN 60950.
3The installer shall provide an approved fuse (type with the lowest rating suitable for the application) in a non-earthed input conductor
directly at the input of the DC-DC converter (see fig.: Schematic safety concept). For UL’s purpose, the fuse needs to be UL-listed.
See also: Input Fuse.
4Each suppressor diode should be dimensioned in such a way, that in the case of an insulation fault the diode is able to limit the output
voltage to SELV (<60 V) until the input fuse blows (see fig.22: Schematic safety concept).
