Description
The IMX7/IMS7 Series of board-mountable 7 Watt DC-DC
converters have been designed according to the latest
industry requirements and standards. The converters are
particularly suitable for use in mobile or stationary
applications in transport, railways, industry, or telecom, where
variable input voltages or high transient voltages are
prevailent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 8.4 V to 150 V with six
different models, the converters are available with single and
electrically-isolated double outputs from 3.3 up to 48 V with
flexible load distribution on double outputs. A shutdown input
allows remote on/off.
Features include efficient input and output filtering with good
transient and surge protection, low output ripple and noise,
consistently high efficiency over the entire input voltage range,
and high reliability as well as excellent dynamic response to
load and line changes.
The converters provide supplementary insulation with SELV
outputs as for instances required in battery-supported
systems, where the bus voltage may exceed the SELV limit of
60 V. The models 70IMX7 and 110IMX7 are CE-marked.
The circuitry is comprised of integral planar magnetics. All
components are automatically assembled and securely
soldered onto a single PCB without any wire connections.
Magnetic feedback ensures maximum reliability and
repeatability in the control loop over all operating conditions.
Careful considerations of possible thermal stresses ensure
the absence of hot spots, providing long life in environments,
where temperature cycles are a reality. The thermal design
allows operation at full load up to an ambient temperature of
85 °C in free air without using any potting material. For
extremely high vibration environments the case has holes for
screw mounting.
Several options, such as open-frame, provide a high level of
application-specific engineering and design-in flexibility.

IMX7, IMS7 Series Data Sheet
7-Watt DC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The IMX7/IMS7 Series DC-DC converters are feedback-
controlled flyback converters using current mode PWM (Pulse
Width Modulation).
In the case of single-output models, the output is directly
sensed and fed back to the primary control circuit via a pulse
transformer, resulting in tight regulation of the output voltage.
The R input is referenced to the secondary side and allows for
programming the output voltages in the range 75 to 105% of
Vo nom, using either an external resistor or an external voltage
source.
For double-output models, the output voltage is sensed by a
separate transformer winding close to the secondary and fed Fig. 2
Block diagram of dual-output models
Fig. 1
Block diagram of single-output models
back to the primary control circuit. Close magnetic coupling is
provided by the planar construction, ensuring very good
regulation, and allowing for flexible load distribution. The Trim
input of double-output models is referenced to the primary
side, and allows for programming the output voltages in the
range of 100 to 105% of Vo nom by means of an external
resistor, or within 75 to 100% of Vo nom, using an external
voltage source.
Current limitation is provided by the primary circuit, thus
limiting the total output current (Io nom for the single- and the
sum Io1 nom + Io2 nom for double-output models).
The inhibit input i allows remote control of the outputs; pin i
must be connected to Vi– to activate the converter.

Input Transient Voltage Protection
In many applications transient voltages on the input of the
converter may occur and are possibly caused by short circuits
between Vi+ and Vi–, where the network inductance may
cause high energy pulses.
In order to protect the converters, transient suppressors are
fitted to the input; see table below:
Table 3: Built-in transient voltage suppressor
Model Breakdown Peak Power Peak Pulse
Voltage at 1 ms Current
VBR nom PPIPP
20IMX7 1 overvoltage lockout at approx. 38 V

40IMX7 2 100 V 1500 W 11 A

70IMX7 2 144 V 600 W 2.9 A
110IMX7 2 167 V 600 W 2.5 A
1The built-in overvoltage trigger shuts down the converter at
approx. 38 V protecting the input up to 50 V. For higher transient
voltages an external suppressor or voltage limiting circuit as,
e.g., for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance should be
provided.
2If transients generating currents above the peak pulse current
are possible, an external limiting network such as the circuit
recommended for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance, is
necessary.
To achieve IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance, an
additional inductor and capacitor should be provided
externally as shown in the figure below. The components
should have similar characteristics as listed in table 4.
Input Fuse and Reverse Polarity Protection
The suppressor diode on the input also provides for reverse
polarity protection by conducting current in the reverse
direction, thus protecting the converter. An external fuse is
required to limit this current. We recommend for:
20IMX7 and 24IMS7 a fast 2 A (F2A) fuse
40IMX7 and 48IMS7 a fast 1 A (F1A) fuse
70IMX7 a fast 0.63 A (F.63A) fuse
110IMX7 a fast 0.63 A (F.63A) fuse.
Inrush Current
The inrush current has been kept as low as possible by
choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor
may be inserted in the input line to limit this current further.

To withstand 150 V transients according to 19 Pfl 1, applicable for

components as for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance can be
used.

7-Watt DC-DC Converters
Thermal Considerations
If the converter, mounted on a PCB, is located in free, quasi-
stationary air (convection cooling) at the maximum ambient
temperature TA max (see table Temperature specifications) and
is operated at nominal input voltage and output power, the
case temperature TC measured at the measuring point of
case temperature (see Mechanical Data) will approach TC max
after the warm-up phase. However, the relationship between
TA and TC depends heavily on the conditions of operation and
integration into a system, such as input voltage, output
current, airflow, temperature of surrounding components and
surfaces, and the properties of the printed circuit board. TA max
is therefore only an indicative value, and under practical
operating conditions, TA may be higher or lower.
Caution: The case temperature TC measured at the measuring
point of case temperature (see Mechanical Data) may under no
circumstances exceed the specified maximum. The installer must
ensure that under all operating conditions TC remains within the
limits stated in the table Temperature specifications.

Vo versus Io (typ.) of double-output models (2 ×12 V) with both
outputs in parallel
Short-Circuit Behavior
The current limitation shuts down the converter, when a short
circuit is applied to the output. It acts self-protecting, and
automatically recovers after removal of the overload condition.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The outputs are protected against overvoltage by Zener
diodes. In the event of an overvoltage, the converter will shut
down and attempt to restart automatically. The main purpose
of this feature is to protect against possible overvoltage,
which could occur due to a failure in the feedback control
circuit. The converters are not designed to withstand external
overvoltages applied to the outputs.
Connection in Series or Parallel
The outputs of single- or double-output models can be
connected in series without any precautions, taking into
consideration that the output voltage should remain below 60
V for SELV operation.
Both outputs of double-output models can be connected in
parallel without any precautions. Several converters (single-
or double-output models) with equal output voltage can be put
in parallel and will share their output current quite equally.
However, this may cause start-up problems and is only
recommended in applications, where one converter is able to
deliver the full load current, e.g., in true redundant systems.

Auxiliary Functions
Inhibit Function
The output(s) 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 converter
is turned on. If the inhibit function is not required, the inhibit pin
should be connected to Vi– to enable the output (active low
logic, fail safe).
Converter operating: –10 V to 0.8 V
Converter inhibited
or inhibit pin i left open: 2.4 V to Vi max (20/40IMX7,
24/48IMS7)
2.4 V to 75 V (70/110IMX7)
Adjustable Output Voltage
As a standard feature, all IMX7 and IMS7 converters offer
adjustable output voltage(s) by using a control pin. If this pin is
left open-circuit, the output voltage is set to Vo nom. The output
voltage is adjustable in the range of 75 to 105% of Vo nom.The
circuit works for single- and double-output models in a
different way. For output voltages Vo >Vo nom, the minimum
input voltage Vi min (see Electrical Input Data) increases
proportionally to Vo/Vo nom.

Double-output models with Trim input:
The Trim input (pin 4) of double-output models is referenced
to the primary side. The figure 15 shows the circuitry.
Adjustment of the output voltage is possible in the range of
100 to 105% of Vo nom using an external resistor, or in the range
of 75 to 105% of Vo nom using an external voltage source.

b) Adjustment by means of an external voltage source Vext.
For external output voltages in the range of 75 to 105% of
Vo nom a voltage source Vext (0 to 20 V) is required,
connected to the Trim-input (pin 4) and Vi–. The table
below indicates typical Vo versus Vext values under
nominal conditions (Vi nom, Io = 0.5 Io nom), with paralleled
outputs or equal load conditions on each output. Direct
paralleling of the Trim-inputs of converters connected in
parallel is feasible.

IMX7, IMS7 Series Data Sheet
7-Watt DC-DC Converters
Standards and Approvals
The converters are approved according to UL/CSA 60950-1
and IEC 60950 -1 2nd Edition.
The converters have been evaluated for:
Building-in
Basic insulation input to output, based on their maximum
input voltage
Pollution degree 2 environment
Connecting the input to a secondary circuit, which is
subject to a maximum transient rating of
- 1500 V for 20IMX7, 24IMS7, 40IMX7, 48IMS7
- 2000 V for 70IMX7
- 2500 V for 110IMX7.
The converters are subject to manufacturing surveillance in
accordance with the above mentioned standards.
Railway Applications
To comply with railway standards, all components are coated
NUCLEAR AND MEDICAL APPLICATIONS - Power-One products are not designed, intended for use in, or authorized for use as critical
components in life support systems, equipment used in hazardous environments, or nuclear control systems without the express written
consent of the respective divisional president of Power-One, Inc.
TECHNICAL REVISIONS - The appearance of products, including safety agency certifications pictured on labels, may change depending on the
date manufactured. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
with a protective lacquer (except option Z).
Protection Degree
The protection degree of the converters is IP 30, except open-
frame models (option Z).
Cleaning Liquids
IIn order to avoid possible damage, any penetration of
cleaning fluids should be prevented, since the power
supplies are not hermetical sealed.
However, open-frame models (option Z) leave the factory
unlacquered; they may be lacquered by the customer, for
instance together with the mother board. Cleaning agents are
not permitted – except washing at room temperature with
isopropyl alcohol. If necessary, the mother board must be
cleaned, before fitting the open-frame converter.
Note: Cleaning liquids may damage the adhesive joints of the
ferrite cores.
Isolation
The electric strength test is performed in the factory as a
routine test in accordance with EN 50116 and IEC/EN 60950,
and should not be repeated in the field. Power-One will not
honor any warranty claims resulting from electric strength
field tests.
Installation Instruction
Installation of the converters must strictly follow the national
safety regulations in compliance with the enclosure,
mounting, creepage, clearance, casualty, markings, and
segregation requirements of the end-use application.
Connection to the system shall be made via a printed circuit
board; see Mechanical Data.
The converters should be connected to a secondary circuit.
Do not open the converter.
Ensure that a converter failure does not result in a hazardous
conditions.
To prevent excessive current flowing through the input lines in
case of a short-circuit, an external fuse specified in section
Input Fuse and Reverse Polarity Protection should be
installed in the non-earthed input supply line.
Description of Options
Option M: SMD pins
This option allows surface mounting of the converters.
