48V Input, 53.7V @ 260W Half-Brick Converter
9.8 Overvoltage Protection
The output overvoltage protection consists of a
separate control loop, independent of the primary
control loop. This control loop has a higher voltage
set point than the primary loop. In a fault condition
the converter limits its output voltage and latches off.
Figure 9 shows operation of the converter under an
overvoltage condition.

Overvoltage Condition. Vin=75V, No Load, Co=220µF
10. Feature Descriptions
10.1 ON/OFF
The ON/OFF (#3) pin in the HHS05Z55 converter is
referenced to the –Vin (#1) pin.
With negative logic (which is denoted by the suffix “–
N” in the part number), when the ON/OFF pin is
pulled low, the unit is turned on.
With the positive logic, when the ON/OFF pin is
pulled low, the output is turned off and the unit goes
into a very low input power mode. (Consult factory
for availability of this option)
An open collector switch is recommended to control
the voltage between the ON/OFF pin and the -Vin
pin of the converter. The ON/OFF pin is pulled up
internally, so no external voltage source is required.
The user should avoid connecting a resistor between
the ON/OFF pin and the +Vin (# 4) pin.
When the ON/OFF pin is used to achieve remote
control, the user must take care to insure that the pin
reference for the control is really the -Vin pin. The
control signal must not be referenced ahead of EMI
filtering, or remotely from the unit. Optically coupling
the information and locating the optical coupler
directly at the module will solve any of these
problems.
Note:
If the ON/OFF pin is not used, it can be left floating (positive logic),
or connected to the -Vin pin (negative logic).
10.2 Remote Sense
The HHS05Z55 converter has the capability to
remotely sense both lines of the output. This feature
moves the effective output voltage regulation point
from the output of the unit to the point of connection
of the remote sense pins. This feature automatically
adjusts the real output voltage of the converter in
order to compensate for voltage drops in distribution
and maintain a regulated voltage at the point of load.
This is shown in Figure 10.
If the remote sense feature is not to be used, the
sense pins should be connected locally. The
+Sense (# 8) pin should be connected to the +Vout
(# 9) pin directly at the output of the converter and
the –Sense (# 6) pin should be connected to the
-Vout (# 5) pin directly at the output of the converter.
If sense pins are not connected to load, or the
respective output pins, the converter will not be
damaged, may not meet the output voltage
regulation specifications and the output voltage will
be approximately 0.75 volts higher than nominal.
10.3 Output Voltage Trim
The trim feature allows the user to adjust the output
voltage from its nominal value.
The HHS05Z55 (-T suffix) trims up with a resistor
from the Trim (# 7) pin to the +Sense (# 8) pin and
trims down with a resistor from the Trim pin to the –
Sense (# 6) pin as shown in Figure 10.
