Features
Figure 1. Simplifi ed Schematic
LSN Series D12 SIP's (single-in-line packages) are ideal building
blocks for emerging, on-board power-distribution schemes in which
isolated 12V buses deliver power to any number of non-isolated, step-
down buck regulators. LSN D12 DC/DC's accept a 12V input (10.8V
to 13.2V input range) and convert it, with the highest effi ciency in the
smallest space, to a 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.5, 3.3 or 5 Volt output
fully rated at 10 Amps.
LSN D12's are ideal point-of-use/load power processors. They typi-
cally require no external components. Their vertical-mount packages
occupy a mere 0.7 square inches (4.5 sq. cm), and reversed pin vertical
mount allows mounting to meet competitor's keep out area. Horizontal-
mount packages ("H" suffi x) are only 0.34 inches (8.6mm) high.
The LSN's best-in-class power density is achieved with a fully
synchronous, fi xed-frequency, buck topology that also delivers: high
effi ciency (96% for 5VOUT models), low noise (30 to 50mVp-p typ.),
tight line/load regulation (±0.1%/±0.25% max.), quick step response
(100μsec), stable no-load operation, and no output reverse conduction.
The fully functional LSN’s feature output overcurrent detection,
continuous short-circuit protection, an output-voltage trim function, a
remote on/off control pin
(pull high to disable), thermal shutdown and a sense pin. High effi ciency
enables
the LSN D12's to deliver rated output currents of 10 Amps at ambient
temperatures
to +68°C with 100 lfm air fl ow.
If your new system boards call for three or more supply voltages,
check out the economics of on-board 12V distributed power. If you don't
need to pay for multiple isolation barriers, DATEL's non-isolated LSN
D12 SIP's will save you money.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Return Current Paths
The LSN D12 SIP’s are non-isolated DC/DC converters. Their two Common
pins (pins 5 and 6) are connected to each other internally (see Figure 1). To
the extent possible (with the intent of minimizing ground loops), input return
current should be directed through pin 6 (also referred to as –Input or Input
Return), and output return current should be directed through pin 5 (also
referred to as –Output or Output Return). Any on/off control signals applied to
pin 11 (On/Off Control) should be referenced to Common
(specifi cally pin 6).
I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction
All models in the LSN D12 Series are tested and specifi ed with external
22μF tantalum input and output capacitors. These capacitors are necessary
to accommodate our test equipment and may not be required to achieve?
desired performance in your application. The LSN D12's are designed with
high-quality, high-performance internal I/O caps, and will operate within spec
in most applications with no additional external components.
In particular, the LSN D12's input capacitors are specifi ed for low ESR
and are fully rated to handle the units' input ripple currents. Similarly, the
internal output capacitors are specifi ed for low ESR and full-range frequency
response. As shown in the Performance Curves, removal of the external
22μF tantalum output caps has minimal effect on output noise.
In critical applications, input/output ripple/noise may be further reduced using
ltering techniques, the simplest being the installation of external I/O caps.
External input capacitors serve primarily as energy-storage devices. They
minimize high-frequency variations in input voltage (usually caused by IR
drops in conductors leading to the DC/DC) as the switching converter draws
pulses of current. Input capacitors should be selected for bulk capacitance
(at appropriate frequencies), low ESR, and high rms-ripple-current ratings.
The switching nature of modern DC/DC's requires that the dc input voltage
source have low ac impedance at the frequencies of interest. Highly inductive
source impedances can greatly affect system stability. Your specifi c system
confi guration may necessitate additional considerations.
Output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and random deviations or
PARD) may be reduced below specifi ed limits with the installation of addi-
tional external output capacitors. Output capacitors function as true fi lter

elements and should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR, and appro-
priate frequency response. Any scope measurements of PARD should be
made directly at the DC/DC output pins with scope probe ground less than
0.5" in length.
All external capacitors should have appropriate voltage ratings and be located
as close to the converters as possible. Temperature variations for all relevant
parameters should be taken into consideration.
The most effective combination of external I/O capacitors will be a function
of your line voltage and source impedance, as well as your particular load and
layout conditions. Our Applications Engineers can recommend potential solu-
tions and discuss the possibility of our modifying a given device’s internal fi lter-
ing to meet your specifi c requirements. Contact our Applications Engineering
Group for additional details.
Input Fusing
Most applications and or safety agencies require the installation of fuses
at the inputs of power conversion components. LSN D12 Series DC/DC
converters are not internally fused. Therefore, if input fusing is mandatory,
either a normal-blow or a slow-blow fuse with a value no greater than 9 Amps
should be installed within the ungrounded input path to the converter.
As a rule of thumb however, we recommend to use a normal-blow or slow-
blow fuse with a typical value of about twice the maximum input current,
calculated at low line with the converters minimum effi ciency.
Safety Considerations
LSN D12 SIP's are non-isolated DC/DC converters. In general, all DC/DC's
must be installed, including considerations for I/O voltages and spacing/
separation requirements, in compliance with relevant safety-agency speci-
cations (usually UL/IEC/EN60950).
In particular, for a non-isolated converter's output voltage to meet SELV
(safety extra low voltage) requirements, its input must be SELV compliant.
If the output needs to be ELV (extra low voltage), the input must be ELV.
Input Overvoltage and Reverse-Polarity Protection
LSN D12 SIP Series DC/DC's do not incorporate either input overvoltage
or input reverse-polarity protection. Input voltages in excess of the specifi ed
absolute maximum ratings and input polarity reversals of longer than "instan-
taneous" duration can cause permanent damage to these devices.
Start-Up Time
The VIN to VOUT Start-Up Time is the interval between the time at which a
ramping input voltage crosses the lower limit of the specifi ed input voltage
range (10.8 Volts) and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains
within its specifi ed accuracy band. Actual measured times will vary with input
source impedance, external input capacitance, and the slew rate and fi nal
value of the input voltage as it appears to the converter.
The On/Off to VOUT Start-Up Time assumes the converter is turned off via the
On/Off Control with the nominal input voltage already applied to the converter.
The specifi cation defi nes the interval between the time at which the converter
is turned on and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its
specifi ed accuracy band. See Typical Performance Curves.
On/Off Control and Power-up Sequencing
The On/Off Control pin may be used for remote on/off operation. LSN D12 SIP
Series DC/DC's are designed so they are enabled when the control pin is
left open (internal pull-down to Common) and disabled when the control pin is
pulled high (+2.8V to +VIN), as shown in Figure 2 and 2a.
Dynamic control of the on/off function is best accomplished with a mechanical
relay or open-collector/open-drain drive circuit. The drive circuit should be
able to sink appropriate current when activated and withstand appropriate
voltage when deactivated.

Remote Sense
LSN D12 SIP Series DC/DC converters offer an output sense function on
pin 3.
The sense function enables point-of-use regulation for overcoming
moderate IR drops in conductors and/or cabling. Since these are non-isolated
devices whose inputs and outputs usually share the same ground plane,
sense is provided only for the +Output.
The remote sense line is part of the feedback control loop regulating the
DC/DC converter’s output. The sense line carries very little current and
consequently requires a minimal cross-sectional-area conductor. As such, it
is not a low-impedance point and must be treated with care in layout and
cabling. Sense lines should be run adjacent to signals (preferably ground),
and in cable and/or discrete-wiring applications, twisted-pair or similar tech-
niques should be used. To prevent high frequency voltage differences between
VOUT and Sense, we recommend installation of a 1000pF capacitor close to
the converter.
The sense function is capable of compensating for voltage drops between the
+Output and +Sense pins that do not exceed 10% of VOUT.
[VOUT(+) – Common] – [Sense(+) – Common] 10%VOUT
Power derating (output current limiting) is based upon maximum output cur-
rent and voltage at the converter's output pins. Use of trim and sense func-
tions can cause the output voltage to increase, thereby increasing output
power beyond the LSN's specifi ed rating. Therefore:
(VOUT at pins) x (IOUT) rated output power
The internal 10.5Ω resistor between +Sense and +Output (see Figure 1)
serves to protect the sense function by limiting the output current fl owing
through the sense line if the main output is disconnected. It also prevents
output voltage runaway if the sense connection is disconnected.
Note: Connect the +Sense pin (pin 3) to +Output (pin 4) at the DC/DC
converter pins, if the sense function is not used for remote regulation.

Output Voltage Trimming
Allowable trim ranges for each model in the LSN D12 SIP Series are ±10%.
Trimming is accomplished with either a trimpot or a single fi xed resistor. The
trimpot should be connected between +Output and Common with its wiper
connected to the Trim pin as shown in Figure 3 below.
A trimpot can be used to determine the value of a single fi xed resistor
which can then be connected, as shown in Figure 4, between the Trim pin
and +Output to trim down the output voltage, or between the Trim pin and
Common to trim up the output voltage. Fixed resistors should have absolute
TCR’s less than 100ppm/°C to ensure stability.
Figure 4. Trim Connections Using Fixed Resistors
Note:
Install either a fi xed
trim-up resistor
or a fi xed trim-down
resistor depending upon
desired output voltage.
Output Overvoltage Protection
LSN D12 SIP Series DC/DC converters do not incorporate output overvolt-
age protection. In the extremely rare situation in which the device’s feedback
loop is broken, the output voltage may run to excessively high levels (VOUT =
VIN). If it is absolutely imperative that you protect your load against any and
all possible overvoltage situations, voltage limiting circuitry must be provided
external to the power converter.
Output Overcurrent Detection
Overloading the output of a power converter for an extended period of
time will invariably cause internal component temperatures to exceed their
maximum ratings and eventually lead to component failure. High-current-
carrying components such as inductors, FET's and diodes are at the highest
risk. LSN D12 SIP Series DC/DC converters incorporate an output overcur-
rent detection and shutdown function that serves to protect both the power
converter and its load.
If the output current exceeds it maximum rating by typically 70% (17 Amps) or
if the output voltage drops to less than 98% of it original value, the LSN D12's
internal overcurrent-detection circuitry immediately turns off the converter,
which then goes into a "hiccup" mode. While hiccupping, the converter will
continuously attempt to restart itself, go into overcurrent, and then shut down.
Under these conditions, the average output current will be approximately
400mA, and the average input current will be approximately 40mA. Once the
output short is removed, the converter will automatically restart itself.

The on/off control function, however, can be externally inverted so that the
converter will be disabled while the input voltage is ramping up and then
"released" once the input has stabilized.
For a controlled start-up of one or more LSN-D12's, or if several output
voltages need to be powered-up in a given sequence, the On/Off Control pin
can be pulled high (external pull-up resistor, converter disabled) and then
driven low with an external open collector device to enable the converter.

Thermal Considerations and Thermal Protection
The typical output-current thermal-derating curves shown below enable
designers to determine how much current they can reliably derive from each
model of the LSN D12 SIP's under known ambient-temperature and air-fl ow
conditions. Similarly, the curves indicate how much air fl ow is required to
reliably deliver a specifi c output current at known temperatures.
The highest temperatures in LSN D12 SIP's occur at their output inductor,
whose heat is generated primarily by I2R losses. The derating curves were
developed using thermocouples to monitor the inductor temperature and

Output Reverse Conduction
Many DC/DC's using synchronous rectifi cation suffer from Output Reverse
Conduction. If those devices have a voltage applied across their output before
a voltage is applied to their input (this typically occurs when another power
supply starts before them in a power-sequenced application), they will either
fail to start or self destruct. In both cases, the cause is the "freewheeling" or
"catch" FET biasing itself on and effectively becoming a short circuit.
LSN D12 SIP DC/DC converters are not damaged from Output Reverse
Conduction. They employ proprietary gate drive circuitry which makes them
immune to applied voltages during the startup sequence. If you are using
an external power source paralleled with the LSN, be aware that during the
start up phase, some low impedance condition or transient current may be
absorbed briefl y into the LSN output terminals before voltage regulation is
fully established. You should insure that paralleled external power sources are
not disrupted by this condition during LSN start up.
varying the load to keep that temperature below +110°C under the assorted
conditions of air fl ow and air temperature. Once the temperature exceeds
+115°C (approx.), the thermal protection will disable the converter. Automatic
restart occurs after the temperature has dropped below +110°C.
All but the last two DUT's were vertical-mount models, and the direction of air
ow was parallel to the unit in the direction from pin 11 to pin 1.
As you may deduce from the derating curves and observe in the effi ciency
curves on the following pages, LSN D12 SIP's maintain virtually constant
effi ciency from half to full load, and consequently deliver very impressive
temperature performance even if operating at full load.
Lastly, when LSN D12 SIP's are installed in system boards, they are obvi-
ously subject to numerous factors and tolerances not taken into account here.
If you are attempting to extract the most current out of these units under
demanding temperature conditions, we advise you to monitor the output-
inductor temperature to ensure it remains below +110°C at all times.
Thermal Performance for "H" Models
Enhanced thermal performance can be achieved when LSN D12 SIP's are
mounted horizontally ("H" models) and the output inductor (with its electrically
isolating, thermally conductive pad installed) is thermally coupled to a copper
plane/pad (at least 0.55 square inches in area) on the system board. Your
conditions may vary, however our tests indicate this confi guration delivers a
16°C to 22°C improvement in ambient operating temperatures. See page 9
for thermal comparison of two horizontally mounted units.

If you’re designing with EMC in mind, please note that all of DATELs
LSN D12 DC/DC Converters have been characterized for conducted and
radiated emissions in our EMI/EMC laboratory. Testing is conducted in an
EMCO 5305 GTEM test cell utilizing EMCO automated EMC test software.
Conducted/Radiated emissions are tested to the limits of FCC Part 15, Class
B and CISPR 22 (EN 55022), Class B. Correlation to other specifi cations can
be supplied upon request. The corresponding emissions plots to FCC and
CISPR 22 for model LSN-5/10-D12 appear below. The published EMC test
report is based on results with the highest possible output power model and
is therefore representative of the whole LSN-D12 series. Contact DATELs

Functional Options
Remote Sense Pin Removed ("B" suffi x)
These devices have their +Sense pin (pin 3) removed, and the feedback
loop is closed through the +VOUT path. The 10.5Ω resistor in Figure 1 is
installed in both standard and "B" models. See the Output Sense Function.
Horizontal Mounting ("H" suffi x)
This packaging confi guration reduces above-board height to 0.35" (8.89mm),
including the isolating pad. For "H" models, a thermally conductive, electri-
cally insulating "pad" is factory installed on the output inductor. The pad
material is Bergquist Sil Pad 400. The pad size is 0.4 x 0.5 x 0.009 inches
(10.16 x 12.7 x 0.23mm). This confi guration can signifi cantly improve thermal
performance. See Thermal Derating for details.
Reversed pin vertical mounting ("J" suffi x)
This additional mechanical confi guration consists of a low-profi le pin header
attached to the reverse side of the converter. It allows the LSN series to be
mechanically compatible with competitors' "keep out area."
Other Options and Modifi cations
Other options include a positive polarity (pull low to disable) on the On/Off
Control. Contact DATEL directly to discuss these and other possible modifi -
cations.
