35 Watt Quad-Output DC-DC Converters
BCD20009-G Rev AC, 06-May-2013 Page 1 of 15
Description
The IMX35 Series of board-mountable, 35 Watt DC-DC
converters has 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 telecommunication, where
variable input voltages or high transient voltages are
prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 9 V up to 150 V with
4 different models, the converters are available with up to four
electrically isolated outputs from 5 V to 60 V, externally
adjustable and with flexible load distribution. A shutdown input
allows remote converter on/off. Features include consistently
high efficiency over the entire input voltage range, high
reliability, and excellent dynamic response to load and line
changes.
The converters are designed and built according to the
international safety standards IEC/EN/UL 60950, and
approved by TÜV and CSA. The converters provide basic
insulation.
The circuit is comprised of 2 planar magnetics devices, and all
components are automatically assembled and securly
soldered onto a single PCB without any wire connection.
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 present. The thermal design
without using any potting material allows operation at full load
up to an ambient temperature of 71 °C in free air and operation
up to 105 °C with airflow. For extremely high vibration
environments the case has holes for screw mounting.

35 Watt Quad-Output DC-DC Converters
BCD20009-G Rev AC, 06-May-2013 Page 3 of 15
Functional Description
The IMX35 converters are comprised of 2 feedback-controlled
interleaved-switching flyback power trains using current mode
PWM (pulse width modulation).
Each converter consists of 4 electrically isolated outputs
deriving from 2 power trains. Vo1, Vo4 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 the
power train. Each pair of outputs has the same output voltage
(i.e. D05, D12, etc.). If both power trains have the same output
Fig. 1
Block diagram of quad-output models
voltage (e.g. D12D12), all outputs may be simultaneously
adjusted by the Trim input (pin 5). In case of different output
voltages (e.g. D05D15), the Trim1 input influences only Vo1
and Vo4.
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 V
o nom, the entire converter will shut down and
automatically restart in short intervals (hiccup mode).
The incorporated overtemperature protection shuts down the
converter in excessive overload conditions with automatic
restart.

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

Inrush Current
The inrush current has been kept as low as possible by
choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor may
be installed in the input line in order to further reduce this
current.

Fig. 5
Maximum allowed output power versus ambient
temperature.
Overtemperature Protection
The converter is protected against possible overheating by
means of an internal temperature monitoring circuit. It shuts
down the converter above the internal temperature limit and
attempts to automatically restart. This feature prevents
excessive internal temperature building up which could occur
under heavy overload conditions.
Short Circuit Behavior
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).
Thermal Considerations
If a converter, mounted on a PCB, is located in free, quasi-
stationary air (convection cooling) at the indicated maximum
ambient temperature TA max (see table Temperature specifi-
cations) and is operated at its nominal input voltage and output
power, the case temperature TC (TC Z with option Z) measured
at the measuring point of case temperature (see Mechanical
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 integration
into a system. The thermal conditions are influenced by input
voltage, output current, airflow, temperature of surrounding
components and the surfaces and properties 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 (or TC Z) measured at the
measuring point of case temperature (see Mechanical Data) may
under no circumstances exceed the specified maximum value.
The installer must ensure that under all operating conditions TC (or
TC Z) remains within the limits stated in the table Temperature
specifications.
The converters provide the specified output power with free air
convection cooling. In the upper temperature range the output
power derating below should be observed.
Series and Parallel Connection
The outputs of one or several double-output power trains may
be connected in series respecting the current limitation.
Both outputs of the same power train can always be
connected in parallel in will behave like a single output.
Several outputs of the same converter with equal output
voltage (e.g. 5 V / 5 V) can be connected in parallel and will
share their output currents almost equally.
If outputs of the same converter are being parallel and series-
connected, it is recommended that outputs from the same
power trains are parallel-connected first. This applies for
instance, if 24 V shall be generated by a converter with four
12 V outputs; see fig. 7.
Fig. 6
Overload switch off (hiccup mode), typical values.
Note: Parallel operation of several converters may cause start-
up problems. This becomes noticable in applications, where one
converter is not able to deliver allone the full resistive and
capacitive load current, as it is required in true redundant systems.

Adjustable Output Voltage
As a standard feature, the IMX35 offer adjustable output
voltages in the range of 85 to 105% of Vo nom. Fig. 12 shows the
schematic diagram for the adjustment of quad-output models.
All models with equal output voltages have a Trim input at pin
5 referenced to the primary side, influencing all outputs simul-
taneously. Models with different output voltages exhibit a
Trim1 input, influencing only the first power train (Vo1 and Vo4).

Synchronization (W)
It is possible to synchronize the switching frequency of one or
more converters to an external clock signal.
This logic input W can be used to synchronize the oscillator to
an external frequency source. This signal is edge-triggered
with TTL thresholds and requires a source frequency of 490 to
540 kHz (duty cycle 10 to 90%). The external source frequency
is internally divided by 2 to define the switching frequency of
the converter. If unused, this pin can be connected to V1– (pin
2) or left open-circuit.
Reference Output (Ref)
The converter provides a stable 5 V (±0.1 V) reference signal
on pin 7 (Ref). The output is protected by a 1 k resistor. The
signal may be used also in conjunction with the Trim input (pin
5) as a limited external voltage reference.
It is recommended to connect a filter capacitor (0.1 µF)
between Ref and Vi–, if Ref is used.
Shutdown
The outputs of the converters may be enabled or disabled by
means of a logic signal (TTL, CMOS, etc.) applied to shut-
down (pin 8). If the shutdown function is not required, pin 8
should be left open-circuit:
Converter operating: 2.0 to 20 V
Converter disabled: –10 to 0.7 V
Adjustment of the output voltage by means of an external
resistor Rext is possible within the range of 100 to 105% of
Vo nom. Rext should be connected between Trim (pin 5) and Vi–
(pin 2). The following table indicates suitable resistor values for
typical output voltages under nominal conditions (Vi nom, Io =
0.5 Io nom).
Note: Connection of Rext to Vi+ may damage the converter.
Adjustment by means of an external voltage source Vext
For external output voltage adjustment in the range 85 to
105% of Vo nom a voltage source Vext (0 to 20 V) is required,
connected to Trim or Trim1 (pin 5) and Vi–. The table below
indicates typical values Vo versus Vext. Applying a control
voltage of 15 to 20 V will set the converter into the hiccup
mode. Direct paralleling of the Trim pins of converters of the
same type connected in parallel is feasible.

Progr. Input Undervoltage Lockout PUL
A special feature of the converters (with Rev. BA or later) is the
adjustable undervoltage lockout protection, which protects
the converter (and the system) from high current caused by
operation at low input voltages. This ensures easier start-up
in distributed power systems.
The table below shows the band of switch on/off and the
hysteresis.
The undervoltage lockout levels may be programmed by using
an external resistor RPUL between PUL and Vito increase the
preset levels as specified in table 10.

Safety and Installation Instructions
Pin allocation
Fig. 18
Footprint. The holes in the PCB should have a diameter of
1.5 mm.
Installation Instructions
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 with hole diameters of 1.5 mm for the pins.
The converters should be connected to a secondary circuit.
Do not open the converter.
Ensure that a converter failure (e.g., by an internal short-
circuit) does not result in a hazardous condition.
Input Fuse
To prevent excessive current flowing through the input supply
line in case of a short-circuit in the converter, an external fuse
should be installed in the non-earthed input line. We
recommend a fast acting fuse specified in table 3.
Standards and Approvals
All converters are safety-approved to IEC/EN 60950-1 and
UL/CSA 60950-1 2nd Ed.
The converters have been evaluated for:
Building-in
Basic insulation input to output, based on their maximum
input voltage
Pollution degree 2 (not option Z)
Connecting the input to a secondary circuit, which is
subject to a maximum transient rating of 1500 V.
The converters are subject to manufacturing surveillance in
accordance with the above mentioned standards.
CB scheme is available.
Railway Applications
To comply with Railway standards, all components are coated
with a protective lacquer (except for option Z).
Protection Degree
The protection degree is IP 30 (not for option Z).
Cleaning Liquids
In order to avoid possible damage, any penetration of cleaning
fluids should be prevented, since the converters are not
hermetically 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 liquids are
not permitted – except washing at room temperature with
isopropyl alcohol and de-inonized/destilled water (1 : 1) .
Note: Cleaning liquids may damage the adhesive joints of the
ferrite cores.
