Description
The IMX/IMY70 Series of board-mountable 70 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 14.4 V up to 154 V
with 3 different models, the converters are available with one
or two electrically isolated outputs from 5 V to 48 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 according to the international
safety standards IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 2nd Edition. The con-
verters 24IMX70 and 40IMX70 exhibit basic insulation for the
specified input voltage, whereas the converters 110IMY70
have reinforced insulation.
The circuit is comprised of 2 planar magnetic devices. The
components are automatically assembled and securely
soldered onto a single PCB without any wire connection.
Magnetic feedback ensures maximum repeatability in the
control loop over all operating conditions and best reliability.
Careful consideration of possible thermal stress ensure the
absence of hot spots, such providing long life in en-
vironments, where temperature cycles are present. The
thermal design without using any potting material allows
operation up to an ambient temperature of 70 °C in free air
and up to 100 °C with forced cooling. For extremely high
vibration environments the case has holes for screw
mounting.

Functional Description
The IMX/IMY70 Series converters are comprised of a
feedback-controlled forward converter using current-mode
pulse width modulation (PWM). The switching frequency is
fixed; it can by externally synchronized for double-output
models. The main transformer and the output choke are
designed in planar technology, which guarantees excellent
mechanical features and reproducibility of electric properties.
No optocouplers are used.
Single-output converters exhibit at the output a synchronous
rectifier and sense lines to ensure accurate output voltage
regulation. An auxiliary input R allows adjustment of the output
voltage. Proper parallel operation is possible using the current
sharing feature.
Double-output converters exhibit Schottky diodes at both
outputs. The first output voltage is sensed and accurately
regulated by influencing the PWM via the magnetic feedback.
The output voltage is transferred to the primary side by
magnetic feedback via a pulse transformer. The 2nd output is
tracking. The close magnetic coupling of the main transformer
and the main choke guarantee minor deviation of both output
voltages. Both outputs can be simultaneously adjusted by the
R input located on the secondary side.
A current limitation circuits limits the possible output power.
The topology allows for single-output models an unlimited
output capacity and for double-output models a high output
capacity; see Electrical Output Data.
An incorporated protection disables the converter in an
overtemperature condition. The converter automatically
recovers, after the temperature has dropped below the limit.
The input voltage is monitored, shutting down the converter in
an overvoltage condition. The minimum input voltage for start-
up can be externally adjusted, which helps to limit the input
current at low input voltage.

Reverse Polarity Protection and Fuse
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.

For very high energy transients as for example to achieve
IEC/EN 61000-4-5 compliance (as per table Electromagnetic
Immunity) an external inductor and capacitor are required. The
components should have similar characteristics as listed in
table below.

Input Transients Protection
When Vi exceeds 154 V, the converter is temporarily disabled.
Furthermore, a built-in suppressor diode provides effective
protection against higher input transients, which may be
generated for example by short-circuits across the input lines.

Thermal Considerations
Fig. 6a and 6b specify the admissible output power of a
converter, mounted on a printed circuit board, located in free
environment, exposed to an airflow with the ambient
temperature TA. This applies to continuous operation in the
input voltage range Vi min to Vi max; see table 2, Input data. The
case temperature TC (TC Z for 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 reached temperature TC depends heavily on the
conditions of operation, the distance and temperature of
surrounding components, the orientation of the converter and
the airflow, and the surfaces, thickness, and properties of the
printed circuit board.
Caution: The case temperature TC (TC Z for option Z), measured
at the temperature measuring point (see Mechanical Data) may
under no circumstances exceed the specified maximum value.
The installer must ensure that under all operating conditions TC
(TC Z) remain within the limits stated in the table Temperature
specifications.

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 limiting circuit decreases the output voltage, when
an overcurrent occurs. It protects against a short circuit and
automatically recovers after removal of the overload condition.
If one output of double-output models is overloaded, the
current limiting circuit decreases the output voltage of output 1
and simultaneously of the tracking output 2.

Connection in Series
The outputs of all models may be connected in series without
any precaution.
Connection in Parallel
If single-output converters are to be operated in parallel, we
recommend ordering option T.
Both outputs of a double-output converter can be connected in
parallel without precaution and will share their currents evenly.

Note: If output 2 of a double-output converter is not used, connect
it parallel to output 1.
Single-output converters without option T or double-output
converters with the same nominal output voltage should only
be operated in parallel with some precautions. The output
lines to the load should have the same length and section. To
improve the current repartition, small resistors should be
present in the output lines. If ORing diodes are used, double
Schottky diodes should be chosen to keep both diodes at the
same temperature level. If single diodes are chosen, they
should be mounted on the same heat sink. If the total load
exceeds 150% of the nominal load of one converter, start-up
problems are possible.
Note: Instead of connecting two 24 V models in parallel, we
recommend connecting of two 12 V models in series.
Cross Regulation of Double-Output Models

Auxiliary Functions
Adjustable Output Voltage
As a standard feature, the converters offer adjustable output
voltages by using the control input R. Fig. 10 shows the
schematic diagram of the circuitry. If the control input is left
open-circuit, the output voltage is set to Vo nom.
Note: For output voltages Vo > Vo nom, the minimum input voltage
Vi min (see Electr. Input Data) increases proportionally to Vo/Vo nom.
Fig. 11
Output voltage control by means of the R input
The R-input is referenced to the secondary side of the
converter. Adjustment of Vo (or Vo1) is possible by means of
either an external resistor or a voltage source.
a) Adjustment by means of an external resistor Rext.
Depending upon the value of the required output voltage,
the resistor shall be connected:
either: Between the R-pin and Vo– (or Vo1) to achieve an
output voltage adjustment range of Vo 80 to 100 % of
Vo nom. Single-output models can be trimmed to Vo 0 V.

output voltage range of Vo 100 to 105% of Vo nom.

2.5 V (Vo/Vo nom – 1)
b) Adjustment by means of an external voltage Vext between
Vo– (or Vo1–) and the R-pin.
The control voltage range is 1.96 to 2.62 V and allows for
adjustment in the range of Vo 80 to 105% of Vo nom. Single-
output models can be trimmed to Vo 0 V.
Vo • 2.5 V
Vext ––––––––
Vo nom
Note: Single-output models can be trimmed up to 110% of Vo nom.
Note: Applying a higher external control voltage as needed for the
max. trim range may damage the converter.
Reference Output (Ref)
The converter provides a stable 5 V (±0.25 V) reference signal
on pin 7 (Ref). The output is protected by a 1 k resistor.
Note: It is recommended to connect a filter capacitor (0.1 µF)
between Ref and Vi–, if Ref is used.
Current Sharing (T)
This feature is available for single-output models. Several
parallel connected converters will share their current evenly by
interconnecting the T pins (pin 11).
Note: This feature allows connecting the outputs together through
ORing diodes to achieve redundancy. We recommend Schottky
diodes mounted onto the same heat sink (for thermal balancing).
Sense Lines
The sense inputs of single-output models allow for compensat-
ing a voltage drop up to 1 V (0.6 V for models with Vo nom = 5.1 V).
Synchronization (W)
Double-output models can be synchronized to an external TTL
signal (220 ±10 kHz, duty cycle 10 – 15%). Due to the higher
switching frequency, the efficiency will slightly drop.
Note: If this feature is not used, W (pin 6) can be connected to Vi–
(pin 2) or left open-circuit.
Shutdown (S
_D
_)
The outputs of the converters may be enabled or disabled by a
logic signal (TTL, CMOS, etc.) applied between the shutdown
pin 8 and Vi –. If the shutdown function is not required, pin 8
should be left open-circuit. Voltage on pin 8:
Converter operating: 2.0 to 20 V
Converter disabled: 0.7 to +0.7 V
Progr. Input Voltage Lockout PUL
A special feature of these converters is the adjustable under-
voltage lockout function, protecting the converter (and system)
from high currents caused by operation at too low input volt-
age. This ensures easier start-up in distributed power systems.
The undervoltage lockout level can be programmed by an
external resistor RPUL (between PUL and Vi–) to increase the
preset levels, as indicated in the table below (with hysteresis).
The overvoltage lockout (OVL) cannot be varied.

Electromagnetic Emissions
The EMC requirements must be observed at the end product
system level. However, we test the converters to EMC
standards. An effective integrated input filter significantly
reduces the reflected input current and improves EMC
features. Further improvements are possible by adding
simple external filters.

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. Connect both
input pins for 24IMX70 models.
The converters should be connected to a secondary circuit.
Ensure that a converter failure (e.g. by an internal short-circuit)
does not result in a hazardous condition.

Standards and Approvals
The converters are safety agency approved to the standards
IEC/EN 60950 and UL/CSA 60950-1 2nd Edition.
The converters have been evaluated for:
Building-in
Basic insulation input to output for 24IMX70 and 40IMX70
models, based on the maximum input voltage;
Reinforced insulation input to output for 110IMY70
models, basic insulation to the case, based on the input
voltage of 150 V. The case can be reliably connected to PE
(protective earth) – except option Z; see fig. 15.
Pollution degree 2
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.
Input Fuse
To prevent excessive current flowing through the input supply
lines in case of a short-circuit in the converter, an external fuse
should be installed in the non-earthed input line; see table 3.
Railway Applications
To comply with Railway standards, all components are
coated with a protective lacquer (except option Z).
Protection Degree and Cleaning Liquids
The protection degree is IP 40 (except option Z).
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 can 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-ionized /destilled water (1 : 1).
The mother board can also be cleaned, before fitting the open-
frame converter.
Note: Other cleaning liquids can damage the adhesive joints of the
ferrite cores.

Options
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 8. No output voltage overshoot will occur, when the
converter is turned on. If the inhibit function is not required the
inhibit pin 8 should be connected to Vi– to enable the output
(active low logic, fail safe). Voltage on pin 8:
Converter operating: –10 V to +0.8 V
Converter disabled: 2.4 V to 20 V
Option Z
If the converters are mounted onto a mother board, in many
cases, a converter case is not required. Only converters with
option Z are not varnished, and this allows dipping of the
populated board including the converter into a protection
lacquer.
Note: The converters shall not be exposed to cleaning
processes, as this will damage the glue of the ferrite cores.
Isolation
The electric strength test is performed in the factory as a
routine test in accordance with EN 50116, IEC/EN 60950-1,
and UL/CSA 60950-1. The Company will not honor any
warranty claims resulting from incorrectly executed electric
strength field tests.
