LSM Series D12 SMT's (surface-mount 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. LSM D12 DC/DC's
accept a 12V input (10.8V to 13.2V input range) and convert it, with the highest
efficiency in the smallest space, to a 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.5, 3.3 or 5 Volt output
fully rated at 10 Amps.
LSM D12's are ideal point-of-use/load power processors. They typically require
no external components. Their surface-mount packages occupy a mere 1.3" x 0.53"
(33.0 x 13.5mm), and are only 0.34 inches (8.6mm) high.
The LSM's best-in-class power density is achieved with a fully synchronous,
fixed-frequency, buck topology that also delivers: high efficiency (96% for 5V
OUT
models), low noise (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 LSM’s feature output overcurrent detection, continuous
short-circuit protection, over-temperature protection, a remote on/off control pin
(pull low to disable), an output-voltage trim function, and a sense pin. High
efficiency enables the LSM D12's to deliver rated output currents of 10 Amps at
ambient temperatures to +65°C with 100 lfm air flow.
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 LSM D12 SMT's will save you money.

I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction
All models in the LSM D12 Series are tested and specified 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 LSM 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 LSM D12's input capacitors are specified for low ESR
and are fully rated to handle the units' input ripple currents. Similarly, the
internal output capacitors are specified 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
filtering 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 specific system
configuration may necessitate additional considerations.

Output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and random deviations
or PARD) may be reduced below specified limits with the installation of
additional external output capacitors. Output capacitors function as true filter
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.
Input Overvoltage and Reverse-Polarity Protection
LSM D12 SMT Series DC/DC's do not incorporate either input overvoltage
or input reverse-polarity protection. Input voltages in excess of the specified
absolute maximum ratings and input polarity reversals of longer than "instan-
taneous" duration can cause permanent damage to these devices.
Start-Up Time
The V
IN
to V
OUT
Start-Up Time is the interval between the time at which a
ramping input voltage crosses the lower limit of the specified input voltage
range (10.8 Volts) and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains
within its specified accuracy band. Actual measured times will vary with input
source impedance, external input capacitance, and the slew rate and final
value of the input voltage as it appears to the converter.
The On/Off to V
OUT
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 specification defines the interval between the time at which the converter
is turned on and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its
specified accuracy band. See Typical Performance Curves.
Remote Sense
LSM D12 SMT Series DC/DC converters offer an output sense function on
pin 6. 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
V
OUT
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 V
OUT
.
[V

OUT
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 LSM's specified rating. Therefore:
(V
OUT
at pins) x (I

)
≤
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 flowing
through the sense line if the main output is disconnected. It also prevents
output voltage runaway if the sense connection is disconnected.
Note: If the sense function is not used for remote regulation, +Sense
(pin 6) must be tied to +Output (pin 4) at the DC/DC converter pins.

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 filter-
ing to meet your specific 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. LSM D12 Series DC/DC
converters are not internally fused. Therefore, if input fusing is mandatory,
either a normal-blow or a fast-blow fuse with a value no greater than 20 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 efficiency.
Safety Considerations
LSM D12 SMT'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-
fications (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.

LSM-10A D12 Models
On/Off Control
The On/Off Control pin may be used for remote on/off operation. LSM D12
Series DC/DC converters are designed so that they are enabled when the
control pin is left open (open collector) and disabled when the control pin is
pulled low (to less than +0.4V relative to Common). As shown in Figure 4, all
models have an internal 14kΩ pull-up resistor to V
IN
(+Input).
Dynamic control of the on/off function is best accomplished with a mechanical
relay or open-collector/open-drain drive circuit (optically isolated if appropri-
ate). The drive circuit should be able to sink appropriate current when
activated and withstand appropriate voltage when deactivated.

Output Overcurrent Detection
Overloading the power converter's output for an extended 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. LSM D12 SMT Series
DC/DC converters incorporate an output overcurrent 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 LSM 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.
Output Voltage Trimming
Allowable trim ranges for each model in the LSM D12 SMT Series are ±10%.
Trimming is accomplished with either a trimpot or a single fixed resistor. The
trimpot should be connected between +Output and Common with its wiper
connected to the Trim pin as shown in Figure 6 below.
A trimpot can be used to determine the value of a single fixed resistor
which can then be connected, as shown in Figure 7, 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.
The equations below can be starting points for selecting specific trim-resistor
values. Recall, untrimmed devices are guaranteed to be
±1.25%
accurate.
Adjustment beyond the specified ±10% adjustment range is not recommended.
When using trim in combination with Remote Sense, the maximum rated power
must not be exceeded (see Remote Sense).
COMMON
ON/OFF pin open: Logic High = DC/DC converter On
ON/OFF pin <0.4V: Logic Low = DC/DC converter Off
Figure 4. Driving the On/Off Control Pin with an Open-Collector Drive Circuit
Applying an external voltage to the On/Off Control pin when no input power is
applied to the converter can cause permanent damage to the converter. The
on/off control function, however, is designed such that the converter can be
disabled (control pin pulled low) while input voltage is ramping up and then
"released" once the input has stabilized (see also power-up sequencing).
Power-up sequencing
If a controlled start-up of one or more LSM D12 Series DC/DC converters
is required, or if several output voltages need to be powered-up in a given
sequence, the On/Off control pin can be driven with an external open collector
device as per Figure 5.
Leaving the input of the external circuit open during power-up will have the
output of the DC/DC converter disabled. When the input to the external open
collector is pulled low, the DC/DC converters output will be enabled.
Output Overvoltage Protection
LSM D12 SMT 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 (V
OUT
=
V
IN
). 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.
